And fuck Elon too.
Capitalists stop parasitising off of socialists challenge (impossible)
Don't forget that Edison wasn't confident enough in DC to sell it on its own merits
He'd go around and make a big show about dangerous AC was by publicly executing animals (and one condemned inmate if I recall correctly) using devices running on AC
Dude was cold-blooded
The three big businessmen that I was taught to find impressive
Thomas Edison
Henry Ford
P.T. Barnum
All massive pieces of shit, actively made life worse for a lot of people
I hope his frozen head thaws out before they come up with a cure for cutting your head off and freezing it
P.T. Barnum also sold tickets to the autopsy of the old black woman he paraded around as the oldest woman alive
He drummed up crowds by putting false claims in newspapers that the woman was an elaborate ruse, accomplished with a rubber skin, whale bones and various cogs and gears for motion
I don't even really want to get into what he did when he opened his circus museum
He electrocuted an elephant right? I remember seeing that in Bob's Burgers
this meme has 2009 energy
possibly even 2005, but I wasn't sentient enough back then to know
When this meme came out, boomers were still insisting computers were a fad
I did a whole school project on Nikola Tesla so based South African education system I guess?:shrug-outta-hecks:
my teachers definitely told us about both. teachers are generally pretty good.
So was Hellen Keller IIRC. It was the science at the time, and especially the leftists used to be tech bros.
Edison I'd also why Hollywood exists. He tried to make motion pictures completely proprietary. He also wanted to only make moral movies. So he was trying to do mpaa from the beginning.
every single kind of renewable existed or was theorised before his time, lmao
what socialist Tesla? the only concrete political view i can tease from the internet is his being a eugenicist :cringe:
I can't remember where I read that he was a socialist, maybe they called him that because he wanted electricity to be free.
I never knew he was into eugenics... that sucks
