Awesome, 10 out of 10 Lovecrafts.
But Trump’s rabid followers don’t really like Musk either. If Trump would declare him an enemy, he would be gone pretty quickly. Not without causing a lot of (further) damage in the process of course.
I’ve seen similar stuff in socialist East Germany as a kid. Gotta indoctrinate your next generation of cannon fodder as soon as possible!
Fun fact, Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho on Tom Cruise.
I’m an atheist, but isn’t a lot of the bible social commentary? The new testament at least, surely.
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.

Under 53 days and they’d have beaten Hitler.
And he bought the position fair and square.
I mean it’s not dumb if the goal is weakening the US. Which is what Putin likely ordered.
Also, at least in Germany we desperately need immigrants to keep health care from collapsing (especially elder care).
Fun fact: Under Hitler, while there was an economic boom (due to production switching to war preparation), wages fell on Great Depression levels and workers had to work a lot more hours. Germany was also deeply in debt, because most of this was financed by crazy lending from other countries, which Hitler had no intention of paying back.
Also, the ones that were profiting the most off of this were oligarchs.
Yep, Vance is in a way more dangerous than Trump. Trump might throw wrenches in the fascists’ plans by either blurting them out proudly thinking it was his idea or by being too afraid of being unpopular (which he is obviously obsessed with) and taking back some of the changes due to public pressure. Vance on the other hand will be just a hand puppet for Putin and/or Musk.
This is true across the entire Western world, btw.
As a German, I’m happy it worked out so well for you! Glad to have you in our country, it’s not perfect but we’re trying!
There are a lot of old people who vote CDU because “that’s what we have always done”. Many people don’t bother to read what the parties actually stand for. If they are told, they often don’t believe it. Same with protest voters choosing the fascist AfD “to show those corrupt politicians on top”. Meanwhile AfD is the most corrupt party of all, by far.
I was there, it was awesome. Bit short though and the audio equipment wasn’t suitable for so many people.
