Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a great way of exposing that attitude through the Ferengi. Quark, the proprietor of Quark’s Bar, mistreats his employees again, and they are pissed. Station chief Miles O’brian tries to rally them to form a union of bar workers and to strike, and one of them, Rom, actually says:

Ferengi workers don’t want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters.

The lie of the “american dream” - don’t rally against rich people, for you might once become one of them^[1].

Bit late for that. I think at this point what you need is a revolution.

At this point, I really do believe the guy could step onto timesquare and just kill a bunch of people, and his voters would still do the mental gymnastics to explain all of that away as the act of a genius businessman just out there to save your average white suburbanite slob. If they even believed it in the first place, the probability of which is quite low.

So yeah, no, that seems quite unlikely.

I think in psychology, this is called “projection”.

…because his daddy already plundered ZA?

I get confused… is that the famed American free speech that Mr. Vance wants to foist upon us backward Europeans?

A true revolution: now featuring AI generated Wilhelm screams!

So, please remind me again. You have this ammendmend to your constitution that allows you to “bear firearms” of any kind, even guns usually only used in wars, for the sole and explicit purpose of being able to defend against tyranny.

So that’s going down now, King Shitty Pants the first is about to take over completly as dictator supreme. What is your next move now, American people?

This timeline starts to feel more and more like the fourth season of Lexx.

You really think people like him have to “roll over” for that?

“Pain for thee but not for me”, and the MAGA crowd cheers while their pockets are emptied, too.

How did Berthold Brecht put it:

Nur die dümmsten Kälber wählen ihren Metzger selber

(Only the dumbest calves choose their own butcher)

They do. They need the cheap labour!

There is no such thing as billionaire philantropy - if you examine it closely, it’s just another scam to avoid paying taxes. Bill Gates is as much a philantropist as I am a billionaire.

Make no mistake, he does it because it is good business^[1], not because Gates is a humanitarian.

No.

If their aim is to kill as many Americans as possible, they are doing a superb job. By that metric, Trump is the best president of all times.

Not to worry, they will probably come up with a near total ban on abortions and birth control, and then there’ll be that many more children, so that enough of them can survive to become wage slaves for the billionaire class.

I think hell will reject her as it did Michael Myers.
