He's a (somewhat) secular "Quiverfull" douche-dad, complete with being neglectful and abusive to his quantity-focused offspring, resulting in many of them abandoning his bullshit the moment they had a chance to do so.
I wish it was more apparent and obvious to more people that when someone is the richest man in the world and so many of his offspring want nothing to do with him the moment they find a way out, family luxury and inheritance be damned, that's a massive fucking indicator of what a monster he is and always was.
The "he's just like Tony Stark from my treats!" Schtick lasted far too long
Damn right it did, and I hated it from the start. I'm just bittersweetly relieved that he's managed to gradually destroy his own once-unassailable public image, one hubris-laden narcissistic tantrum after another.
I was a credulous bazinga brained "futurologist" myself, and even believed in the Singularity(tm). I am grateful that when I started to lose faith in the cult and walked away that was only starting to become DAE LE EPIC REAL LIFE TONY STARK in pop culture so I never actually prayed at his altars.
I remember customizing a dream te$la on my work computer almost a decade ago. Imagine being someone who invested money into his company and believing he would colonize mars.
Captures the energy of much more benign dreams of transitioning to a spacefaring species and turns it into grift.
Bittersweetly, I feel it would have been worse if he actually was some kind of actual genius bazinga that magically invented the means to bring late stage capitalism into space. If intelligent life was found out there, imagine the atrocities he'd want get off to. It'd be worse than Avatar Na'vi extermination "Humanity Fuck Yeah" greentext.
It's like somebody took all the badly written sci-fi narcissists, removed the charisma and intelligence, and dumped the leftover stat points into a breeding fetish.

And after all of that was done, some Apartheid prince looked the combination over for a few seconds then said "!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 " before adopting that identity because it was so based.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Then I said EPICALLY MEMED, ELO~N
The neoliberal era will leave disproportionately few physical ruins due to the focus on cost-engineered infrastructure, designed to fail. Fittingly, our garbage will become among the best-preserved relics of our time. This happens eventually to all societies, but it will happen on a much faster time scale for ours thanks to our disposable culture.
didn't unfollow Grimes until this specific chosen moment. I hope he dies mad. Very mad.

I'm sure libs of today will look back on their views now and cringe as well. It's the cycle of life
Some may hold tight until the end.
Some will, surely, but many won't, increasingly so as Capitalism and Imperialism decay.
Hey at least you're cool enough that you can admit it here, comrade. And at least you didn't buy into his worse scams.
Yep, I'm happy I got off the bazinga train years ago, but I still wince looking back, haha. Thanks!

His narcissism is like a black hole that warps the discourse of space itself.

He doesn't understand Ozymandias and it shows.
It was a treat, it had stimulating sights and sounds, and it would be based to imitate it.

I'd hate to be one of the explorers going through the wreckage of the fallen US who retrieves an intact hard drive only to find Doge Coins within.
But at least they get to see the ruins
Those ruins are probably going to be pretty horrifying, and not in a fun horror way.
Oh my god, I'm just picturing sandstorms of microplastics and skeletons on
