honestly bein the kid of the richest man in the world and an trans communist is a very funny bit tbh, i hope she posts here.
really proof of my prior post that being trans 9/10 times makes you into godless socialist
In my experience Eastern European trans people are evenly split between communists and turbo-NATOids.
I'd accept if someone made a bit account of his daughter to bully @Elon_Musk@hexbear.net
I HAVE NO SON! I have a lovely daughter who is out there doing praxis.
Oh my GOD her dead name Elon gave her started with X, this man is a total goddamn clown
it's algebra on the level of a 12 year old and he hasn't even understood it properly
Are you sure about that? I mean, he has don alot of shitty things and does more harm than good in my opinion, but there's no need to make up stuff.
His children's names are that I could find are: Griffin, Vivian (originally called Xavier, Kai, Saxon, Damian, Exa Dark Sideræl and X Æ A-12. Missing the last twins names since those are not public.
Exa Dark Sideræl
that is not a name you give a person it is what you name a boss in a final fantasy game
Very much agree. It's cruel to give kids these over the top weird names, it invites harassment.
Absolutely. There are certain types of names that should honestly just be illegal, and are in some countries. For me, as the level of weirdness goes up, it actually becomes ok and then not OK again, a couple times
From least to most unconventional:
- Common names ✅
- Uncommon names ✅
- War criminal names ❌
- Misspelled common names like "Gianathunn" ✅ fine but why, why??
- Profanity or any kind of plain-language degrading like "fuckass" or "dumpsterwater"❌
- Common names where you arbitrarily assign letters and claim they represent different sounds "Oh it's pronounced Johnathan, spelled like 'Pppppppp'❌
- Common words that don't even sound like a name, like naming your kid fuckin "Best One or "And The" or some shit, so every time someone says their name everyone else thinks they had a stroke❌
- Completely unique invented names that don't sound like any word ✅ Just typin out random letters like "Bandalagika" or "Diunchip" doesn't bother me at all because you assume it has to be a name
- Literally unpronounceable names ❌ Fuck you
That's all fine, but you should make an exception and allow Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--. How else will we teach devs to sanitise their inputs?
Vivian (originally called Xavier
The article says Jenna was originally called Xavier, where are you getting the info she changed it to Vivian?
I did a bit of searching, although I admit I was not very thorough. Here was the best page I found
Nah that’s enough. Also you can make up whatever you want about a billionaire, he’s not going to see it
Is this comment supposed to say that this is in any way reasonable?
he's so fucking cringe. how does literally anyone like this bozo
-Constantly say/post transphobic shit.
-Daughter thinks rich people are evil.
How could her school do this to her?
How could her school do this to her?
Well you see its the school's fault for "transing" her in the first place.... .//s
— Wait. You're also a communist who thinks anyone rich is evil.
— The lieutenant's eyes pierce you from behind the thick glass of his spectacles. He seems staggeringly tense.
[Challenging: Success] — He needs armed bodyguards to go to the bathroom. There's not a chance he'll let you get any closer if he thinks you're against him. It's better to keep your affiliations to yourself...for now.
— And then, bratan? Then it will be time!
The comic is also telling on how so many Americans (boomers at least) think communism is primarily about enforcing atheism and persecuting the religious.
Another result of the red scare from which we might not ever recover. Terminal brain poisoning
If communists are not anti American, why do some of them say "death to America"? I'm genuinely curious, I've been trying to understand alternate perspectives but it is confusing reading some of the communist interactions on lemmy. Are they trying to be ironic, or are those just foreign propaganda trolls, or do some communists actually want to see a whole country burn, innocent children and all? Is it an inside joke that I just won't get because I'm a "stupid lib"?
We are anti-america, they're pointing out the irony of using the 13 stripes, referring to the original colonies, in a communist America fantasy.
Also, it's death to America, not death to Americans, i.e the military-industrial complex, exploitation of the global south, and related culture that masquerades as a country. Most people would rather that didn't mean reducing the country to ash, but revolution and dissolution of the current state.
America is the most evil entity the world has ever encountered in the history of time itself
It has done more harm to more people in more ways than any other in the history of the world, and it’s still doing it now, poisoning the future of humanity
Death to America
"Death to America" doesn't refer to killing every person in America, it refers to the death of a nation-state and the ideology it's built upon.
Leftists use this term to advocate for the abolition of things like: fascist police death squads that kill disproportionately lower income and black/brown people indiscriminately and with impunity, the ending of American imperialism that immiserates the entire world while poisoning our planet, the end of neoliberal institutions (which we created) that enforce structural inequality across the entire world (like the IMF), ending nuclear holocaust and weapons proliferation, the evisceration of the bourgeois class that has plundered and profiteered off the natural resources we need to survive, etc; all of which are hallmarks of American structure.
Of course, too - to make an omelet, first you have to crack a few eggs.
Thanks, I do appreciate the explanation. Judging from the other responses, there are some differing opinions about it, so maybe a little of each.
Communists are very anti-America. I think fuckass was just pointing out some irony
no, we're definitely anti-amerikkkan, death to amerikkka, they're saying that if we created a new flag it wouldn't include any bourgeois atavisms such as the 13 settler colonial stripes. lol, is this a bit? no communist wants to see "a whole country burn, innocent children and all", that's what amerikkka does, in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., we want to see whole class of the bourgeoisie burn and their class collaborators to liberate the working class.
So if I say Death to Russia, everyone should know that I'm only referring to Putin and his ruling class of cronies, not the Russian people?
We don’t like Putin either, but also when centrists say stuff like that they don’t mean it and would gladly watch an entire ethnicity die just so they could feel safer. It doesn’t come off as honest.
What is a centrist to you? I don't think I am one. I've never voted for war nor ever wanted any ethnicity to die. But I don't personally have any control over what my government does.
Do you want things to change? Does your organizing or actions in politics make conservatives mad and call you a red? then youre not a centrist.
If you dont care about things and the conservatives call you a lib, youre probably a centrist.
pmc dsa karens can't imagine a flag without 13 kkkolonies white people will literally become communists before they stop being colonizers smh
The image is clipped from a deranged papist anticommunist tract from the height of the cold war
EDIT: Specifically, this deranged papist anticommunist tract from 1961.
Lol, a working class family is forced to work to not lose their home, oh that communism!
Showhttps://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/09/cdc-eviction-ban-housing-crisis/619960/
In October 2008, responding to a dramatic increase in such evictions since 2006, Tom Dart, the elected Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, decided to take a stand on the issue. He criticized mortgage companies for failing to fulfill their obligation to identify renters in foreclosed properties, and announced that he was suspending all foreclosure evictions immediately. The Illinois Banker's Association accused Dart of engaging in "vigilantism".[32]
Love that he says "I own this home" to his wife instead of "we own it" lol
I guess that would be communism
Well spotted. The economic dependence of the patriarchal family is well shown.
It got a trove of fun quips that hit capitalism more than communism. It is all projection.
ShowOf course most parents in capitalism working have trouble seeing their kids, too. With the added benefit of not having enough money for them to go to school properly. However the comic panel is even more fitting for UK boarding schools:
Most (UK) schools that offer boarding have three distinct models: Full boarding (kids are at the boarding school i.e. Eton the whole year, except for potentially the holidays), Weekly boarding (kids can be at home over the weekend), Flexi-boarding (kids can be at home up to 7 times a week, but for plays and rehearsals and during exam period they stay in school)

Hopefully they don't mix up the letters and showed the kids the FBI letter pressuring MLK into suicide.
I agree with the FBI though: Learn all you can about communism!
Among the bourgeois in some places, kids go to boarding schools and only come home to see their family on the weekends. When I worked at a Taiwanese cram school, I knew a lot high school kids like this.
One of my grandmas was sent into foster care for a considerable length of time because her mother just couldn't cope with the child raising and apparently you could just do that in the 40s?
He criticized mortgage companies for failing to fulfill their obligation to identify renters
woke renter idpol is a distraction! /s
only good cop I've ever heard of (or one close to doing good).
so like, did he "commit suicide" or get fired?
Proletarian States of America flag
Is that high-res enough for an emoji?
Considering it still bears a reference to the original 13 colonies it's probably not something we'd want to have and endorse
Even with upscaling it still looks kinda crusty...
ShowHere's a better version of the same image:
ShowHere's a different flag from the same comic book:
Showlmao good one
probably would only be good for baiting or annoying chuds because of it's similarity to the current flag
It would only be good for ironic levels due to retaining the colonial stripes as the other commenters mentioned
Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must if you wish to succeed in business.
There's no question that one cannot accrue billions of dollars without being a vile person and I doubt most of them could spare their loved ones from that wickedness.
When an opportunity knocks, you don't to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony-baloney church, or synagogue.
I'm pretty sure Elon Musk's "success" solely came from the Koch Brothers or Rupert Murdoch trying to groom him into taking their place to defend the WASP world order after they're gone.
i think he's just the natural consequence of reddit
the platform was big enough, inevitably someone in its userbase was already going to be born into the capitalist class. By simple dint of having money and knowing memes, reddit formed an echochamber around him and turned him into the nexus of every Silly-con Valley hype bubble.
Idk, usually the parent is a bigger factor in those sorts of beliefs
If my father was Musk, and my grandfather was Errol, and you saw all the peoole they associate with, it seems it would be impossible to not conclude that all rich people are evil
"Am I, pictured here standing next to Ghislaine Maxwell at a party, evil? No, it is the children who are wrong. They have been indoctrinated by checks notes the Communist government of Palo Alto."

becoming an anticapitalist just cuz i don't want to get dragged to bohemian grove anymore
If you've seen the Cremation of Care once, you've seen it a 1,000 times
I mean this happened to me on a lesser scale. My grandfather was petite bourgeois levels of rich and a massive asshole to everyone. He was a role model for me, just an overwhelmingly negative one. I learned early that money and even small amounts of power can turn you into a removed.
There are actually studies saying the contrary. Kids peers have far bigger impact than parents.
help, literally all of my two dozen kids think i'm a parasitic, evil piece of shit! i'm a perfect father, but the woke school system has succeeded in turning every single one of them against me!
"what do you mean 'spend time with them'? I already spend money on them"
I give them so many nice things though! How could they turn to socialism when their loving father gives them all these expensive gifts?!
Elon Musk has like 26 illegitimate children by 22 mothers and doesn’t pay child support or acknowledge half of em. He pays underlings at his work to fuck him and have his children, he is obsessed with spreading his seed. If I were his kid I wouldn’t just hate him because he’s rich, I would just hate him because he’s an evil bastard and shitty man child that can’t be a father
Elon my man your daughter knows you personally that's why she hates you
Lol, the levels of divorced dad energy have gone critical and it doesn't look like he's going to stop telling on himself anytime soon.
remember basically all billionaires are like this, they just don't tend to admit things publicly at the same rate
Most billionaires have people in their lives who aren’t simply paid yes-men. Musk is incapable of handling negative feedback. He can’t go to therapy because he’d walk out.
But also all the billionaires are evil.
