    Can people not comprehend corruption?

    People from the USA voted for a corrupt candidate and are now surprised they are corrupt

    After checking the definition for corrupt, i realized i had been using the word wrong for my entire life. By corrupt, i meant accepting bribes

      Imagery is everything in the US. I know people who claim to hate socialism despite living off of a monthly Social Security check. They claim to hate communism but can’t tell me what they think the word means, same goes for capitalism. The folks that tell you they don’t trust the media will repeat word for word what the guy on television/podcast told them without bothering to verify it’s accuracy.

    I seems the original photo was edited. Instead of “LIB” it was probably “HITL”.

    Has he gotten robot legs yet?

    Hey Elon, how much do clothes cost in The Matrix?

    Edit: I feel bad for anybody who doesn’t get the references. It’s from Grandma’s Boy. Peak stoner comedy film. Very quotable…up there with “Your Highness” as my favorite stoner-comedies. Highly recommended.

    I’mma be real though, the phase where he pretended to be progressive would have been better than the current nonsense. Most of the shit he does is disingenuous but a tech bro trying to impress cute leftists is far better for America than a tech bro trying to impress Nazis.

            To invest energy on such a comment, defending oneself. But to complain about an outcome that could be resolved if the same energy were spent on it .

            It is to be so mad that all one can focus on is punching themself in the face to get out the frustration, rather than actually taking responsibility and moving forward

            Best part is, no one likes being told the mess they’re in was out of their control. And so here it is. .A true gif that’ll get downvoted, getting truer and truer with each apathetic thumb press.

            Edit: Other western nations have their issues, but the public is still a strong force. They act. They’re feared by politicians and billionaires. And that’s why we don’t get butt fucked

            Do something.

            There’s more of you than the grumbles on Lemmy that aren’t gonna do shit. It’ll just get worse because you ironically wasted your energy here. You had the right idea, but the execution is so bad it hurts you and gets worse
