    aside from everything else, one of the most obvious signs that capitalism is a trash system is that we all have to know about this guy’s shit takes. and not only that, his bullshit takes and notions create gravitational pull on societies resources, including state policy.

    in any reasonable society, this opportunistic douchebag would have been picking up garbage on the side of the road and other work-release shit for trying to steal other peoples’ ideas and collect tolls for their use. his attempts to legitimize “intellectual property” would have backfired and resulted in the nationalization and release to the public domain of large libraries of software.

    instead we get this guy constantly trying to colonize africa’s food system, hanging out on sex crime island, doing vaccine apartheid, becoming the largest owner of prime agricultural land in the US, and generally being able to walk the streets without anyone throwing rotten cabbage at his face.

      Don’t forget when he thought he could solve schools as well. He literally knows nothing about anything (not even fucking computers) and yet because he commands capital we have to listen to dumbass takes every time he thinks he’s solved something. And because he isn’t a total idiot like musk, most people take him seriously.
