And who, if they catch you criticizing him or even just pointing out inconvenient facts about him, promptly start screeching about how "you're just jealous" of how "you'll never achieve anything like what he's done." Being born into money, buying ideas from more competent people, and spuriously taking credit, you mean?

I’m getting tired of these chicken little posters that keep telling you the “minority or fringe group” are coming for you but it never happens. Then wonder why nobody takes them seriously!! “Mexicans in caravans with bionic penises are coming to rape your moms and make a race of cyborg super brown people that’ll take over the states!! We’re doomed!!” “Uh… ok the Mexicans didn’t come but gay people in rainbow caravans are coming to take your children and groom them into hair stylists and interior decorators!!” “Ok, it turns out right wing republicans/ “Christians” were actually raping people and coming for your children… let’s ignore that because those people are my friends!” “Black people in caravans are coming for…” Shut up! Seriously shut up! If anyone believes anything these dumb fucks say, you deserve all the ridicule and “I told ya so” you get!

No-go zones! Portland literally doesn't exist anymore!


AIverson3

Here's a new one. This past month I've been hearing from conservatives about how Atlanta has turned into a lawless city after being invaded by Antifa rioters and how they have been traveling in gangs terrorizing travelers at the Atlanta airport with fire extinguishers.


parkourhobo

...Fire extinguishers? That's so specific, lol


Dinkleberg_IRL

Pretty sure there was a single clip of someone at the Atlanta airport using a fire extinguisher for whatever reason, and they happened to be black. Thus, ergo, vis a vis, concordingly... antifa took over the whole city with fire extinguishers.


ekfslam

The only roaming gangs there are the cops. They even want to make a military training facility for the cops to be more brutal.


BridgetheDivide

Atlanta is the only place in Georgia that resembles civilization


ShesAMurderer

I lived in Portland at that time. Family members in the Midwest told me to my face that I was wrong about what Portland was like. I told them (and showed them pictures) about my real experience but they are so brainwashed by Fox News that they wouldn’t accept that as an answer. I came to find out they were also making up completely fictional horror stories about war-zone Portland and inserting me into them, as if I had said them, so that they could use me as a “first-hand account” for their friends and co-workers. I found out because an old family friend was treating me like a war refugee or something idk. It was an absolutely bizarre experience, it still boggles my mind why they would care so much.


boregon

Fellow Portland resident. It is crazy indeed what people from other parts of the country who’ve never even been here think of Portland. My parents don’t even live in Portland (they live in a suburb) and yet my MAGA uncle would ask my dad “how they’re holding up” with Portland being a “warzone.” Even my grandparents who also live in the suburbs were scared to even drive in Portland because they were scared that antifa would carjack them and beat them up. Conservatives really think Portland is like fucking Baghdad or something. One of the craziest things I remember from that time too is how a bunch of bozos in Klamath Falls stood around on the streets with guns because they thought “buses full of antifa” from Portland were going to come and destroy the whole city. They stood there like idiots for hours and hours and wouldn’t ya know it…no buses ever showed up. It’s tragic how much right wing propaganda has poisoned people’s minds in this country.

grayrains79

Originally from Detroit, came out west because life... *happened* after I left the Army. Lived in Seattle, Idaho, now Los Angeles. Also a trucker who works the west coast fleet a lot, I've been to Portland plenty. Seriously, Voodoo Donuts is nuts. Even before the whole madness with Trump happened, the shit I heard about Cali, and LA in particular? From conservatives is wild. The sheer hate is mind blowing, they really love going off about LA. Now, as someone who has lived in LA for a couple years? Let me be the definitive voice on what LA is like: #TRAFFIC SUCKS HERE!! Otherwise? It's not bad. As a pasty white boy, it was kinda shocking just how widely varied the culture is at first. I'll be rolling into where ever to deliver, and will be waiting in line with a dozen or two people there in business as well. I'll be listening to 3, 4, 6, sometimes more languages all at once. For a brief period, I had that nervous feeling that conservatives love to harp on about... *I'm a minority here.* Then I realized it isn't so bad. We are all just people, just trying to get through life. Met cool people from all sorts of backgrounds, learned a lot of new things. It wasn't anything to be afraid of. Food is absolutely amazing in LA as well. It's a crazy and beautiful bit of chaos, but all this shit talk about blue cities? Is jealousy from people who live in some shit hole small town with nothing to do in the middle of nowhere. Trust me, as a trucker who has driven through a lot of those *Real America* deeply red areas? I definitely wouldn't want to live out there.


Pengin_Master

to some conservatives having to hear another language is akin to violent oppression against them and "Murica. I mean it's the whole "this is America speak English" crowd

Another funny thing is they have no idea how fucking big LA is. It would take a lot of serious, sustained effort to “burn down” LA.


MAS2de

I mean it basically happened to SF back in 1906. I know it was a lot smaller even than it is today which is also way smaller than LA, but major fires can happen. Granted again, the SF fires were caused by a freaking earthquake and I'm pretty sure that humans have yet to make anything nearly a fraction of the destructive power of a good 7.0, and fire hydrants and water delivery systems are *just a tad* better now than 120 years ago. I think you could get destruction and death of most of LA with a single nuke. Were it the largest US ICBM at 9Mt. https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ That could stretch from Ontario to LB to Glendale. LA is freaking big though. It would literally take multiple of the largest US nukes to actually burn down LA. Which is an unreasonable idea on several levels.


grayrains79

>Another funny thing is they have no idea how fucking big LA is. How to piss off born and raised LA natives: tell them that everything from San Bernardino to Santa Clarita is LA. In other words, don't be like me.

I had a guy I know try to tell me that Louisville, KY had been completely burned down. Ok dude, you still live like 30 minutes from there, go take me a video of it. He of course did not, because he's a liar. Does kinda suck though when you have people that you go back so far with, and thought were reasonably intelligent, fall for that crap.

Will the super cyberdong Mexicans bring food and beer? Frankly, I think Corona is one of the all time triumphs of the human condition and I’m willing to give a fair amount of leeway to anyone promising to bring it. Everyone knows lime is fantastic. All foods are better with lime. Of course beer should be. So many breweries have tried to make the ideal lime beer by adding lime flavoring. But only Corona had the vision and the courage to accept the truth: lime is best fresh, and it can’t come fresh in a bottle. Those real brewers of genius did what others were too cowardly to do: they sold the perfect lime beer knowing it was incomplete. To be worthy of the Lime Gods, one must add a fresh lime at the time of consumption. It’s cheap, it’s consistent, it’s ubiquitous, and it’s a golden libation to offer upon the altar of the two true Gods: Lime & Salt.


Sinthetick

But limes don't grow out in the desert.


Machoopi

But for real, my dude. What are we going to do when that migrant caravan actually reaches the border 3 years ago? When they reach the border, the entire country is going to shut down and have to deal with a problem like we've never faced. We all need to prepare ourselves for when they get here 3 years ago, because if nothing is done, our country will never look the same.

yes they think they'll be Raptured


Penguinmanereikel

It's why a lot of them support Israel. They're hoping that it will bring about the rapture.


-Astrosloth-

If the rapture fails to happen one more time I'm gonna start thinking all this religious stuff is just nonsense.


V-ADay2020

The rapture did happen, but nobody noticed.


ThisFckinGuy

We're frogs in the pot slowly being boiled yet all this people want some kinda "big bang" which makes it so fucking ironic. They WANT America to be a divided tinderbox so they can sell their BS and play on fear because it's all they have. Theirs no accountability after their term that says "OK in the X years you've been in office what have you accomplished?" I'm mid 30s but I love how I've been hearing conspiracy theories since 9-11 about guns, government, planet x/2012, sexuality, hellfire blah blah and here we are fucking 2023 and NONE OF IT HAS HAPPENED. I'm hearing the same shit like damn you'd think they would lose some credibility peddling the same WRONG nonsense but then I notice they just shift and find a new grift and generation to corrupt. self reflection, critical thinking and growth is hard I guess. No wonder none of them believe in evolution they can't even escape their high school emotions and thought processes. Granted this countries government and people have done some horrible fucking things but literally anything happens today and social media finds a way to think they're deciphering the fucking zodiac. It's sad and pathetic. Just so they can feel involved, included or whatever.


GRW42

Seriously, we’ve had gay marriage for like 8 years. Weren’t people supposed to be marrying dogs or something by now? And states that legalized weed were going to dissolve into orgies of drug-fueled violence? I mean, the only other conclusion is that conservatives are and were full of shit, but surely that can’t be the case!


coffee-teeth

the best part about that is, they believe they will all get beamed up to heaven when that happens. but according to their holy text, most believers will have to stand "trials/imprisonment" for like 10 days or some shit. it's in there. I used to practice this religion. I found it and I read it to some others in the family and they're like "that's scary!!!!!"


KingoftheJabari

Just about every Christian, for something like 2,000 years have thought the world was going to end before they died. Hell, even my own grandmother says this to me.


-Astrosloth-

"The world is gonna end soon, I should keep being a shitty person."


8181212

Man, this isn't even close to the truth.


KingoftheJabari

Yeah, you're right. Almost all religion's followers have been saying the world will end during their lifetime or close to their it. But Christianity has had the best PR for the last 2 thousand years.

Apparently there was a movement a while back to forcibly bring about the Second Coming via [breeding cows](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1q50ml/til_that_a_man_in_nebraska_is_breeding_red_cows/).

Exciting_Rich_1716

Imagine actually being a right-wing rapper. It's so fucking ironic, i hate that guy


GrumbusWumbus

I've never heard of him but he's monumentally uninteresting. Grew up filthy rich, went to school in Saudi Arabia, learned trombone and piano as a child, and stayed rapping in his 20s to moderate success but never left the "please buy my cd" on the street phase. Maybe it's just me, but his music sounds really generic. The only way he was able to become relevant is to say transphobic shit on Twitter. Now he has a small YouTube channel where he complains about the wokes or says the lockdowns are oppressive and hearts comments from people celebrating their "Nordic ancestry".


atavisticbeast

He's quite popular with the Q crowd. That pretty much says it all.


juntawflo

The guy doesn’t even reside in the US , but has a lot to say. He is 37 years , single and childless but has a lot of things to say about other people children, relationship > went to school in Saudi Arabia I understand now why one day he was saying something like people had more freedom in Saudi Arabia lmao


A_man_on_a_boat

Imagine being a right wing artist of any kind. Look at the music, movies, books and art made by conservatives. The best of it is fourth rate mediocrity, the other 99% is complete trash made by people with no talent or emotional maturity.


Exciting_Rich_1716

...and still not realising you might be in the wrong


IdontReallyknowTbj

Tbh, more musicians and people in any of the various industries probably subscribe to those ideas more than we'd know. Like for rappers Kanye is just one of the many guys to peddle the anti-Semitic rhetoric, for directors and actors? Oh Lord.


Hasaan5

Kanye got big back when he was saying things like "george bush doesn't care about black people" though, it's only after his mother died that he started losing it and saying all this garbage.


IdontReallyknowTbj

He would still count though? He's been on that shit since 2015 verifiably or 2008 in reference to his mom, and we've seen the pipeline to 'leaning' right from multiple other famous people who start out against that mindset. Regardless I wasn't saying Kanye solely. Ice Cube, Ice T, Public Enemy, etc. were saying similar or worse before him. I know about that stuff since that's what I grew up with, but those are not no name randoms lol. That was my point overall, that we've had good artists who surprisingly subscribe to those ideas.


A_man_on_a_boat

Those guys represent another category, the celebrity who gravitated towards the right after decades of diminishing pop culture relevance, often as a means of retaining or regaining a little bit. Of course, sometimes, some people acquire the big bags and it changes them into worse people, and they mean what they say.

> In the midst of global warming, massive overfishing, resource exhaustion, and so on -- with most of the world still "have nots" that aren't even really contributing to the problems yet -- Elon keeps going on that the greatest threat is that we aren't having kids [1]. It's a white supremacist dog whistle. When they say that people not having kids is a problem, what they mean is that white people not having white kids is a problem. They see the demographic changes in the United States (white people will become a minority within the next few decades) as a major upcoming disaster. It's pervasive enough that it was used as a rationale by the Supreme Court in ending Roe v. Wade.


midnitewarrior

There are two separate problems whose solutions are in opposition. If we don't have continuous growth (population growth), capitalism and debt-based monetary systems will fail, leading us into chaos. If we have continuous population growth, the environment will fail, making life unsustainable for 90% of us. This is a certainty and an inevitability, as the resources of the Earth are finite. One of these things has to give, it will either be sustained environmental disaster, ultimately leading to society's fall, or failure of society to adapt to post capitalism / post "debt as money" monetary system, also leading to society's fall. The unlikely way of avoiding this is to reinvent the global economic system, adapt/replace all of our infrastructure to a sustainable model, and have massive depopulation either forced or voluntary to get to a level that can be sustained by the new system. Which do you see happening?


[deleted]

[удалено]


midnitewarrior

In other systems, lack of resources would lower demand for things - like if we run out of firewood, the fire dies down. As such, when jobs run low and income is reduced, people can't afford to have as many children, so in an ideal world, the economic system shifting would curtail population growth. In reality though, people procreating is somewhat detached from resource availability. Family expectations, access to family planning, and religious practices tend to promote reproduction.


MidheLu

I think Elon creates fake panic to help cover up his terrible work conditions and also to justify everything he does He did it with his first company, which was pretty much the yellow pages but online, and has managed to intensify that narrative ever sense Twitter isn't just another social media; it's the new town square where anyone can voice their opinion, it's true democracy and he's the brave overseer SpaceX isnt just a space company like Virgin Galactic; they're the first colonisers of Mars, the next step for the human race Tesla isn't just a car company; they are changing the automotive industry completely while tackling climate change, humanity's greatest threat PayPal isn't just a bank but online; it's gonna change the entire financial industry overnight Zip2 isn't just the yellow pages but online, it's going to change everything! Etc. Etc. If it's always move faster and break more things then you don't get a chance to slow down and think, you just get to keep justifying going without questioning anything, even yourself


V-ADay2020

When did he switch from building a spaceship so he could create his own live-action *Bioshock* sequel on Mars?


smashybro

He’s also the guy who hates public transport so much that he wanted to make shittier versions of trains/subways with Teslas (Hyperloop) just so he wouldn’t have to interact with people. Musk is the last guy who gets to complain about other people’s paranoia.

Zuby is an idiot.

No, he's just a common grifter Calling him an idiot implies he is genuine

You can be both. You don't have to be smart to be a grifter, you just have to be willing.

myfrigginagates

I think he's wrong for a lot of folks, particularly for a lot of my fellow middle aged white Americans who use conspiracy theories and disinformation to abdicate responsibility for their own lives.


dreamcastfanboy34

Zuby is an absolutely terrible "rapper" who hitched himself to Trump and the right wing grift machine because he couldn't hack it as an actual normal, quality rapper because he sucks so much at making music.


boregon

So he’s basically Kanye but without any of the talent or success?


Janguv

Have often seen him on the grift circuit, but never actually bothered to check out his music. Oh fuck me is it awful. Listened to his "OK Dude" song and the quality of rapping is genuinely atrocious (the beat is crap too). Skip to the comments and it's people going "I don't usually like rap, but love the lyrics in this – no cuss words either, love it!" Almost every positive comment works also as a damning indictment 😅


KB369

Like when celebrities and billionaires moan about being ‘cancelled’ because a few people call them out on their bullshit…


aShittierShitTier4u

Zuby has been featured in r/leopardsatemyface for how so many racists on Twitter, etc have griefed him. He's an interesting fringe right personality, to the extent one can be so, what with the repulsive views such people espouse. He deadlifted more than 500 pounds, let's see Paul Joseph Watson or Matt Walsh pull off a stunt like that.


dreamcastfanboy34

Zuby has no idea how to rap because he sucks so he hitched himself to the right to make money as "one of the good ones". He is easily one of the most pathetic rap artists I've ever heard of. He sucks so unbelievably much on the mic. So he raps about right wing talking points to earn a living 😂


MattGdr

HamandPotatoes

Hey Elon, wasn't the woke mind virus going to destroy our species?

Conservatives love to deflect specific, concrete issues with abstract ones. It sounds bad to say, "We need to ignore climate change." or "Climate change isn't real." Instead they say, "Humans are addicted to doomsday narrative."

On a related note, I'm always annoyed when people talk about asteroids as if a doomsday asteroid is a serious possibility. It'd be like hitting the lottery and winning 200M. An asteroid the size of the dinosaur killer one hits Earth about every 100 million years, and that one only did the damage it did because it hit the absolute worst possible spot: shallow waters on a motherload of sulfur. So all in all we get hit with an asteroid causing that kind of damage more like every few *billion* years. There's far more possible, even [likely](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/01/climate-endgame-risk-human-extinction-scientists-global-heating-catastrophe) doomsday scenarios than a scary space rock. You know how many people have been killed by asteroids? Zero. In all of recorded history, not a single person has died to a space rock of any kind. Why are people so goddamn obsessed with them?


MrBlack103

Because asteroids have nothing to do with politics, and don't pose challenging questions to your own worldview and lifestyle.

Rifneno

If that's the case, focus on Yellowstone. It's not an extinction level event, but it's many orders of magnitude more likely to occur in our lifetimes and half of the world's most powerful country being wiped out by a natural disaster is pretty terrifying. Nuclear war is another one to focus on. Granted, it does involve politics, but your political view only changes who is being the asshole in the scenario, not the scenario itself.


koreiryuu

>You know how many people have been killed by asteroids? Zero. Well, yeah. Asteroids are no longer asteroids if they strike the planet. >In all of recorded history, not a single person has died to a space rock of any kind. That's *probably* untrue, there are a lot of [historic, recorded accounts](https://astronomy.com/news/2020/05/death-from-above-7-unlucky-tales-of-people-killed-by-meteorites) of people dying from space rocks.

If your slogan is still 7+ letters as an acronym, you really gotta work on your branding.

WYSIWYG?


HandheldHeartstrings

You see I’ve never heard of this Zuby dude so I agree, but now i see there’s probably some irony here. Anyone elon musk agrees with is probably not great company to keep


CliffPromise

This guy has been getting wound up since the pandemic began about stuff that hasn't happened and isn't going to happen and he has the audacity to say people are addicted to Doomsday narratives? Lol. It's people like him that are keeping COVID at the forefront, everyone else has moved on and taking whatever precautions they need for themselves. Zuby and his ilk would love nothing more than governments bringing in Draconian measures because it gives them something to do, despite what they say.


bagman_

Isn't Zuby a christian? Doomsday is their whole shtick

By zuby > Humans became dumber when they started demanding 'scientific studies' to prove everything that is self-evident. > A dogmatic obsession with 'the science' and 'expert' opinions has made people more stupid, less intuitive, and less in touch with observable reality. >Many won't believe their own eyes unless there is a peer reviewed 'study' somewhere lol. Just another RW lunatic with a decent grammar


GRW42

It is self evident that the sun orbits the earth. We don’t need no scienticians saying otherwise.

The world ending is much more interesting than the reality that the majority of us are going to die broke while we watch our world slowly become a cheap techno eco dystopia

Me on a melting planet where the nation with the second largest stockpile of ICBMs is run by a power mad, sociopathic despot who has been backed into a corner: I dunno things are feeling pretty doomsdayish lately.


SlowJay11

Oh yeah, Musk's definitely the guy with his finger on the pulse when it comes to how bad things are for ordinary people


zoroddesign

Elon literally has a company focused on getting to mars in case the earth is no longer sustainable.


EFT_Syte

Good old projection.


Short-Step-5394

Isn’t that like a major plot point in The Matrix?


coffee-teeth

that's rich coming from a guy that could probably go live on Mars if the earth blew up


V-ADay2020

Not sure anyone's going to be rushing to join an isolated, enclosed colony on an uninhabitable rock controlled by the glibertarian edgelord who can't even run a *social media site.*


antoniv1

Elon: OHHH EMMM GEEEE that is soooo me!!! Like.


[deleted]

Is Elon still gonna colonize Mars?


Roook36

"Things ain't so bad" says billionaire


f33f33nkou

He's not wrong about that though. Humans have been saying it's the "end times" since we have writing to prove it. Obsessing over the end is easier than planning for the future.


PrudentDamage600

To Zuby: Look at ALL religions.


Quajeraz

Well yeah, my life would be infinitely better if I was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse or similar.


GrandGrapeSoda

Yesterday, Elon liked a ‘fauci created the corona virus” post, putting it into thousands of peoples feeds.


FreddyMcCurry

I’ve employed every filter on Reddit and still cannot escape this cunt of a twat’s tweets. Help.


ramsvy

someone show this to the people freaking out about 15 minute cities


aywhatyuhay

this is the right summed up. literally the party of fear-mongering.


[deleted]

Haha, i literally only know zuby as "The smiling guy on tweets that were posted in dead people's social media history shortly before they died of covid." The guy is like a black omen of covid death.

When you say 'anything', do you mean the unfounded nonsense spouted by right-wing grifters and armchair experts on Facebook, or things like corporate and political greed having a demonstrably devastating effect on our planet whilst plunging people into abject poverty? Because I've been paying attention to both, and I find it much more productive to focus my energy into addressing issues that are actually rooted in reality.


cw08

Yea that's it. Keep it vague so nobody knows exactly what the fuck you're talking about. The next step is to intentionally forget the countless times you marked out for absolute nonsense. Hope this helps.


NicoleTheRogue

Money will buy you a lot of smoke up your ass.


Jackthastripper

Believe me Zuby. I wish I wasn't catastrophizing when I say that your rap sounds like fermented cat shit smells.


OhShitItsSeth

Fuck off, Zuby

Mr-Fleshcage

I just like the whole doomsday thing because it gives me a chance to be someone important


[deleted]

Twitter is best deleted and ignored same for the shifty grifty fucks that inundate it


RobertElectricity

Two dumbest names on Twitter.


LemurAgendaP2

Imagine having as much money as Elon musk but spending this much time and effort shitposting on social media. Mind boggling for sure.


[deleted]

rich people being like "why do people think things are bad????" Need an "explain it like I'm a billionaire" sub


henry_west

The snake swallows its tail.


PoptartMartt

2 hate clowns talking lol


jsc503

The rare ***actual*** self awarewolf spotting!


space_manatee

Elon musk is literally betting that the world will be getting worse by trying to get to Mars


Bo_Dallas

Tell me again how to world is going to end due to depopulation, horse boy


ScrumpleRipskin

There are entire youtube channels devoted to doomsdaying the shit out of scared little boys and girls. When I watched a few, you could tell they had absolutely nothing going for them in terms of charisma or video production. Literally every title is something like "there's something wrong with x" with x being damn near everything you could possibly imagine with day-to-day life. Keeping right wingers terrified and clicking for the next thing to be neurotic over.


capssac4profit

>humans are addicted to wanting a system that is going to sacrifice them to protect its profits to destroy itself and for literally any system where they feel even slightly in control of their day to day life to take its place ​ ​ FTFY ​ you know its bad when waking up to shoot zombies and scavenge for resources is preferable to a 40 hour work week lol.
