a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

    That's what bothers me the most about these dudes. Charles I/V took all that Aztec silver and just threw it into invading Egypt and tried to be a crusader guy and fucked it up and failed back to Germany. Like an empire's worth of people died so he could do his fonteleroy bullshit. He got so many people killed. And these modern pretenders that have more money than God are just the most frustrating boring shitheads. What the fuck!? It's like if Luke Skywalker confronted the Emperor and the Emperor was just a icky dude who cheated at card games. If we're all gonna die because the shit you do at least do something big with it. I'm probably not saying this correctly but if I'm consigned to die for your fascist bullshit at least give me the dignity of being buried under the foundation of some kind of monument. Instead I get this boring shit.

      I get it, I just think they think that's what they're doing and it's just such low level shit once the shine wears off that most of us aren't falling for it anymore. It's hilarious how bad Musk is at what he does given the immense resources he has at his disposal. He's just so unimaginative and basic. Dude had one of the largest echo chambers in the world at his fingertips and he turned it to white power trash rather than leverage it into an information powerhouse that could have made him a freaking god.
