    Between plague and war and the world on fire
    he dusts off the playbook for a failing Empire:

    "Hide your dying system's inhumanity
    with a brand new, hate-filled, Christianity!"

    See, rhyming's easy you arrogant shit
    Now do what's right and get in the barbara-pit

    Capitalists have begun realising that if they want to make conditions considerably worse for people then they need ways to offset that.

    Musk is too stupid to be subtle about it.

      Chuds really, really like the treat printers and lean on them heavily.

      I at the least take the time to find the pictures that fit the vibes. These bazinga dipshits just open wide for the firehose.

    Atheism left an empty space

    Secular religion took its place

    "I sure do wonder what will fill the niche left as increasing numbers of young people stop attending church", wondered the figurehead of the large, online personality cult.

    "And so" said he, the divorced man

    "I have, at last, a master plan.

    To purchase things to woo a woman

    Buy her spices, silks, and linens

    Perhaps a horse for her to ride

    Will keep her loyal by my side."

    To the market he did hurry

    Moving quick and slightly worried

    He found the clothier had closed

    The flower shop had not a rose

    He asked about and found out, too

    The horses had been sold for glue

    He pulled his scalp as he despaired

    Unplugging all his plugged-in hair

    "I cannot buy the things I need,

    To get a girl to marry me!"

    He stopped a moment to reflect

    On what thing he would try next

    He called up all the fortune tellers

    Sayers-sooth and potion sellers

    Wizards, mystics, learn'ed men

    By bribe or threat he beckoned them

    He told them all (straight up of course)

    "You must make me un-divorced!"

    He drank the brews, said incantations

    Real stuff - no imitations!

    He fasted til he was delirious

    And said "At last!" (and he was serious)

    Proclaiming that he'd had a vision

    "It's not me, they need religion!"

    Can these idiots just become Nietzsche-pulled already and drop Christianity because it’s slave morality is much too woke and beta and Jewish, I’d much prefer that.

      None of the current batch of oligarchs is going to dispose of slave/master dualism. It's a nice thought, but they're just going to do what the masters always do and re-align the slave morality with their own interests. Which means doubling down on religiosity, as Elon is currently doing.

      looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he's an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

      Elon Musk announced that he's a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk's reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

      The would-be god king of le simulation (you know, the known universe) sees everything but his own delusions of grandeur as some kind of religion.

    This doesn't even scan. "Childless hedononism sans all care" keeps the meter much better. At least read your shitty poetry out loud for fuck's sake.

      You know Elon's the type to get blacklisted from brothels because of that one time he tried to brand someone with the SpaceX Tesla logo
