The behind the bastards about Jobs was fucking wild. The guy made children cry (not his own) for eating incorrectly and he would hold meetings in the bathroom so he could soak his feet in the toilets. It is a great series of episodes.
If I recall it was a small girl who ordered a hamburger which conflicted with what he thought a proper diet should be. He absolutely let her have it in public and she cried.
Musk started out as just a dick then turned full fascist. I bet Jobs wouldn't be too far behind if he was alive.
The guy died from a treatable cancer because he listened to a health guru instead of doctors. I bet he would be an antivax idiot gulping down horse dewormer to prevent COVID-19 if was alive today.
Disney technically isn't a confirmed Nazi, AFAIK. He actually worked with jewish employees at his company who vouched for him.
He was a nazi by association, to the antisemite Motion Picture Alliance of the time and his welcoming of Nazi film film director Leni Riefenstahl. He also had a specific beef with a specific Jewish businessman who labelled him an antisemite, and his company produced at least one antisemitic portrayal of the three little pigs, but it also produced propoganda for the US Military fighting the nazis. In their cartoon "the ducktators" they mount the stuffed heads of Hitler, Mussolini, and a japanese military leader I don't recognize on the wall above the fireplace.
He was racist af, tho, but no less than average in 1930s and 1940s.
But if a profiteer trades media with a nazi it doesn't make him one. It makes him an asshole, but a Nazi is something far worse and by watering that down and normalizing it you're doing great harm to society.
if a profiteer trades media with a nazi it doesn't make him one
I would argue it does. By assisting a Nazi in any way, you have actively chosen not to hinder them, and are thus furthering their cause. That makes you a fucking honorary Nazi at the very least.
It's not about watering anything down, it's about keeping those pieces of shit as radioactive as possible. Their ideology should be completely isolated and driven to literal extinction.
Is anything you own made in China? Is any of the fuel you've used in the past couple of years supplied by SA or Russia? If so, aren't you actively promoting multiple genocides?
I somewhat agree, because their opinion can be changed by whatever is most profitable. However, that view also makes it impossible to identify Nazis. It's hard to say Disney wasn't a Nazi and only did things against that because it was profitable, or he was anti-nazi and only did things for them because it was profitable. If "just following orders" makes you a Nazi, then just following the profits does too.
I think if a nazi is living secretly in hiding all is well but since we live in a world where people tell us who they are it becomes incredibly easy to identify Nazis.
Just gonna point out that that's a Crusader cross, I think it's the cross of Jerusalem specifically but I'm only really familiar with like three Crusader orders so it could be one of the more obscure ones I'm just not recognizing. I only say this since I keep seeing folks calling it the iron cross which is an entirely different symbol and would be less of a red flag since at least the iron cross has connections to the German Empire, Modern Germany, and American Biker gangs.
I made a recreation of a local bust of Kaiser Wilhelm (one of the good ones, brought peace to Europe (the non-ominous way)) that happened to include an actual iron cross medal. I was concerned about modern interpretations and so I did research on it, and the anti-defamation league tells me that it is not a hate symbol. Good enough for me.
Now, no morals and only caring about money would take you the same path Nazis took if it was found profitable. Just look at what the megacorps are doing - absolutely anything they can to squeeze couple more pennies without caring of the consequences to human life, as long as they're not financially penalized for it.
It would be like comparing Bill Gates to Elon Musk
Bill Gates is not the great example you thought he'd be.
It's not even many years ago when he himself said he's willing to sacrifice any amount of lives necessary to squeeze the profits out of COVID vaccine patents
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation saved and enriched millions of lives across Africa. The Gates foundation also walkef back their opposition to making the vaccine patent free and open, their original excuse was that it could lead to loss of quality control.
Was Disney a Nazi? I know he wasn't a good person, but I hadn't heard that. Is there any further reading you could link me? A cursory search didn't find much other than the fact that he seems totally cool working with anti-semites, which isn't really the same thing. If he was, I'd like to know, and if not, we should be more precise with our language so when we call out people like Elon it means something.
I swear this exact phrase is an FBI plot to get people to doubt everything they see and hear.
"That school shooter was a nazi" "Well, we ought to be careful when saying things like that."
"Elon Musk is a nazi." "And what has he done exactly? You know, it's important to be precise. The story of the boy who cried wolf is that ..."
"Hitler was a nazi." "Well, he was in charge of the nazis. Specificity is really important when handling delicate matters like these, you know."
Not to pick on you specifically, but I am so fucking tired of hearing it.
I totally get that, but there's a big difference between "this guy did a Nazi salute" or "this guy idolized Hitler" and "this guy worked with anti-semites." I don't think we should be using the word Nazi to mean "racist person," as Nazi is pretty specific. I certainly hope I don't come across as making any of the above arguments. Ford was a Nazi. Elon is a Nazi. I haven't seen evidence suggesting Disney is the same, and I think it would be irresponsible to turn Nazi into a generic pejorative for "bigot."
I (a Jewish person) draw a distinction between antisemitism and Nazism. Nazis aren't just racist, they're fascist, with a specific set of beliefs. All I can verify is that Disney associated with racists in Hollywood willingly. I find it hard to believe that if Disney was a Nazi sympathizer, he would've produced so many anti-Nazi propaganda films. To give a good analogy, someone might be racist towards Palestinians and Arab people without being Zionist. That's a more specific belief that includes racism.
I swear the over use of the term nazi is what got us to this place where people don't believe Musk is one after doing two sieg heils during the inauguration.
Criticizing the term's over use is not the same as denying their existence or horribleness.
You can't police overuse. Just disagree and move on.
By constantly handwringing about it every single time it comes up, you end up teaching people that that's the way you are supposed to react to this information. It becomes a thought terminating cliche. Somebody says nazi, and the first thing anyone else thinks about is "well, they're probably just being hyperbolic." You're reinforcing the same narrative.
Like, a good nazi accusation usually comes with an argument. "Such and such is a nazi because of these 6 things I saw them do, and they kicked a dog also," but even then, people will twist themselves into pretzels about whether the word is still "too much" or not. You have to cut them off. It's not relevant. It doesn't need to be given dignity as a criticism. It only serves as a distraction from the 6 points.
People do the exact same thing about the word genocide.
Think about it this way: an actual nazi benefits from these terms being muddy and unworkable, so our strategy cannot depend on clear waters; we will never get them.
Many young men who can't find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.
Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Edit: this is calling out how women are criticized for both dating and not dating conservative men. Leave to to Lemmy's male echo chamber to explain how this is not the case.
I don't get your logic. You're saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.
Then you need to work on your communication skills because what you said was "their damned if they do, and damned if they don't".
Your inability to articulate yourself correctly does not constitute a problem on our part. Your edit is petty all you have to do was clearly explain yourself but instead you went on a rent about how everyone isn't psychic.
Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?
The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.
I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I'd have fallen prey to far right conspiricies
like, it doesn't work that way. there should be a social contract saying "people take care of each other, that's how society works".
i get that you're saying women shouldn't despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn't mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it's good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don't take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.
Guys, I'm gonna set my room up with large pictures of Mr. House from New Vegas, Bob Page from Deus Ex, and uh... I dunno, Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner.
I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should've been more clear.
EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn't prematurely die of hubris.
I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).
Were I a young woman, I wouldn't consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.
We had a mattress on a homemade base for a while as parents in our 30s because our first child fell from the bed, which was pretty high as beds go.
So we built this frame on the floor so that our kid could get in and out of the bed with minimal effort, and if she fell, she would fall the height of the mattress.
There's something uncanny about that photo... His head is so fucking ginormous. This looks like a resin statue or some shit lol. How the fuck is his dome that big?? It's like the same size as his torso lol
Edit: A day later and I just can't stop looking at this dude's massive gourd. He looks like a cartoon character. Or like "big-head mode" in a 90s video game lol
Considering what Russia was like before and after the USSR, and considering that the Nazis threw everything at destroying the USSR and then the US put all it's weight on strangling the USSR.... Communism is actually kind of incredible in a lot of ways. It turned Russia from a shithole into a global super power and then it did the same for China
Yeah, not ragging on communism. I'm actually a huge fan of Marx, including his tidbit about an armed proletariat. But the country was considered "red" at the time.
Also, good on you for defending the system! I only wish you disparaged the leader a little. Cause, conceptually, the USSR would've lasted a whole lot longer if it wasn't for that murderous prick.
White women will do anything except hold white men accountable. They're content with being numero dos as long as other minorities and women of color remain "at the bottom."
Hey that’s not true throws beer can a woman purchased for me on the ground, assuming a brown person will pick it up I’m perfectly capable of bottoming out all on my own thanks zombies out
Can't speak for others but from here it seemed like he was pushing the electric car market forward when the bigs weren't risking it which was a good step forward.
Electric cars are not the savior we all want them to be anyways. The dudes just a conman. People are right for being shocked he scammed people over and over for years and kept getting more and more success for it. It shouldnt work that way, but apparently americas premier product is the conman given how much money they are worth to others.
Tesla existed before Musk btw. He just came in and put his name on it, and manipulated the stock by having it appraised as a tech stock and not a car one. Oh and just selling "carbon credits" to other car companies so they can keep making polluters. Tesla would be bigger and more advanced without his influence, especially the toxic work culture he enforced.
Yeah I know all of that now just trying to show why I was fine with him at first. Before he deserved a second look. It's not like I venerated him or anything. I just had no issues with him until the cave incident.
He was much less vocal in the past, back when SpaceX and Tesla were getting big. He barely HAD any amount of public persona, so people just associated him with the cool tech that the companies were doing. That was also before he started taking direct control over technical decisions, so the tech they were outti g out was actually pretty cool.
Something around... like 8 years ago?... made him lose his good sense for keeping his mouth shut. Obvious bet would be the ketamine.
I don't use Jerboa, I know in Summit I can just type @ and their username, but I think that might only create a hyperlink to their profile and not actually send them a notification.
"There is some dispute whether the same spirit of tolerance extended to the studio, but of the Jews who worked there, it was hard to find any who thought Walt was an anti-Semite.”
The bed being shoved in the corner is a big red flag. Put that in the middle of the room so you can walk around both sides. If it is needlessly difficult to put the sheets on you can bet they don't get changed very often.
I like sleeping with a wall. My current room layout makes it better to leave the walls open (closets along one wall, sliding doors to outside on the other), but I prefer to sleep in the corner
I mean ... You got the nazi pictures, you got the conditiin of the bed, those are red flags for a relationship for sure.
A more immediate threat to your life,spending time in the bed, would be the wall plug next to the pillow. The way I spend night in a bed, this wouls be a fire hazard.
Disney was a pedo, Musk is an arrogant billionaire who his mother is a witch and all his money are made from scams, Jobs is maybe the one you may pass but it's still worrying, as a whole it looks like a nightmare!
I feel like this is a 1000 IQ move if you're a fuckboi.
Put these pictures up. Girl comes over. She's already planning on hooking up, so she'll be inclined to not immediately bail. If she looks uncomfortable, claim that you put those posters up before Elon went insane, and just haven't gotten around to taking them down. The picture of Elon is older and the Jobs poster is 2015-coded, so that will be enough of an excuse for the vast majority of people who already have other things on their mind.
After the deed is done, be respectful. However at the same time drop some phrases that are conservative-coded, but still with plausible deniability. Something about fraud in Ukraine, referring to being non-binary as a "lifestyle choice" that you "personally respect", mention the upcoming stablecoin legislation, etc.
Girl leaves, weirded out but not immediately fearful. A day later, text her. Say that you had a great time, but you sensed there was a bit of a disconnect. Tell her that you could go either way, but the ball was in her court. If she brings up politics, say something like "I'm an independent, I respect everyone's beliefs, and while I respect your perspective I don't plan on changing myself for you".
Maybe she declines, maybe she ghosts you. It doesn't matter, the point is that you don't have to deal with her, and that feeling is mutual.
Same result as a hookup and ghosting, but enough plausible deniability that your name won't go up on social media
This isn't a red flag, its a fucking air siren.
It's not an air siren, it's the sound of the bombers themselves flying above you.
And they have this painted on the side ☢️
Is the first one Disney? If so, 2 of 3 are confirmed Nazis, so yeah, huge red flag. Steve Jobs was just a dick, right?
The behind the bastards about Jobs was fucking wild. The guy made children cry (not his own) for eating incorrectly and he would hold meetings in the bathroom so he could soak his feet in the toilets. It is a great series of episodes.
I'll look for that one, he's great. Sometimes, it's just too hard to listen to, but Jobs would probably be okay.
The Jobs series is fairly tame as far as BtB goes. Definitely worth a listen.
The same dude who refused cancer treatment because he was convinced his “healthy” lifestyle and alt med bullshit would cure the cancer itself
How do you eat incorrectly, stick it up your nose?
If I recall it was a small girl who ordered a hamburger which conflicted with what he thought a proper diet should be. He absolutely let her have it in public and she cried.
Pardon?
Listen to the episode. It is fucking wild. He apparently didn’t bathe either
Because he said he didn't need to. Some wild shit about mucus and body odor and how his diet removed the need for it.
Narrator: It didn't
Musk started out as just a dick then turned full fascist. I bet Jobs wouldn't be too far behind if he was alive.
The guy died from a treatable cancer because he listened to a health guru instead of doctors. I bet he would be an antivax idiot gulping down horse dewormer to prevent COVID-19 if was alive today.
Behind the Bastards had a great series on him, as always.
I liked that when he died, he died knowing he could have avoided it if he wasn't a miserable, narcissistic idiot :)
Classic billionaire bullshit
Disney technically isn't a confirmed Nazi, AFAIK. He actually worked with jewish employees at his company who vouched for him.
He was a nazi by association, to the antisemite Motion Picture Alliance of the time and his welcoming of Nazi film film director Leni Riefenstahl.

He was racist af, tho, but no less than average in 1930s and 1940s.
In my book, Nazi adjacent = Nazi. He wasn't trying to get along with Nazis to save orphans or something.
There should be zero tolerance for Nazis.
But if a profiteer trades media with a nazi it doesn't make him one. It makes him an asshole, but a Nazi is something far worse and by watering that down and normalizing it you're doing great harm to society.
I would argue it does. By assisting a Nazi in any way, you have actively chosen not to hinder them, and are thus furthering their cause. That makes you a fucking honorary Nazi at the very least.
It's not about watering anything down, it's about keeping those pieces of shit as radioactive as possible. Their ideology should be completely isolated and driven to literal extinction.
Oskar Schindler
Lol, not hindering equals assisting, okay
Why are you assisting in the Israeli genocide?
Is anything you own made in China? Is any of the fuel you've used in the past couple of years supplied by SA or Russia? If so, aren't you actively promoting multiple genocides?
I said absolutely no such thing. I said assisting a Nazi is choosing not to hinder them.
And you know absolutely nothing about my habits, what I do, or what I buy so fuck off with that bad faith nonsense and stop defending Nazis.
Please stop murdering Palestinians.
Also, Nazi punks can fuck off.
I somewhat agree, because their opinion can be changed by whatever is most profitable. However, that view also makes it impossible to identify Nazis. It's hard to say Disney wasn't a Nazi and only did things against that because it was profitable, or he was anti-nazi and only did things for them because it was profitable. If "just following orders" makes you a Nazi, then just following the profits does too.
I think if a nazi is living secretly in hiding all is well but since we live in a world where people tell us who they are it becomes incredibly easy to identify Nazis.
Just gonna point out that that's a Crusader cross, I think it's the cross of Jerusalem specifically but I'm only really familiar with like three Crusader orders so it could be one of the more obscure ones I'm just not recognizing. I only say this since I keep seeing folks calling it the iron cross which is an entirely different symbol and would be less of a red flag since at least the iron cross has connections to the German Empire, Modern Germany, and American Biker gangs.
I made a recreation of a local bust of Kaiser Wilhelm (one of the good ones, brought peace to Europe (the non-ominous way)) that happened to include an actual iron cross medal. I was concerned about modern interpretations and so I did research on it, and the anti-defamation league tells me that it is not a hate symbol. Good enough for me.
"what do you want tattooed"
"I want the american history x tattoo but make it slightly less on the nose"
Hes also got an american flag, handgun, and Dues Vult tattoo on his arm.
It was the God-Emperor himself. Casual reminder that Imperial Japan was a divine monarchy, and fascism and monarchism are not mutually exclusive.
The glasses are the giveaway. Plus him being the head of state...
Sounds like he just didn't have any morals, just cared about the money.
Which I don't think is any better than being a Nazi, but could be worse
Yeah, no morals
No, Nazis are way fucking worse
Now, no morals and only caring about money would take you the same path Nazis took if it was found profitable. Just look at what the megacorps are doing - absolutely anything they can to squeeze couple more pennies without caring of the consequences to human life, as long as they're not financially penalized for it.
No, it's the same monsters different motivation
A successful businessman seeks to enrich himself and his investors by satiafying market demands.
A nazi seeks to enrich himself by murdering and taking from others, by exploiting and torturing others to the maximum effect of cruelty.
It would be like comparing Bill Gates to Elon Musk.
Bill Gates is not the great example you thought he'd be.
It's not even many years ago when he himself said he's willing to sacrifice any amount of lives necessary to squeeze the profits out of COVID vaccine patents
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation saved and enriched millions of lives across Africa. The Gates foundation also walkef back their opposition to making the vaccine patent free and open, their original excuse was that it could lead to loss of quality control.
Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism dude; at least it's an ethos...
We must be diligent with our language, even if the enemy is willing to twist it. Thanks.
At least jobs had the presence of mind to let himself die of a curable condition because he thought he knew better.
Yea, just an unbelievable asshole.

Umm... Is there?
If you're sitting at a table with 9 Nazis, then that's a table of 10 Nazis.
I (a Jewish person) draw a distinction between antisemitism and Nazism. Nazis aren't just racist, they're fascist, with a specific set of beliefs.

To be clear, I have no idea what Walt is or isn't. I'm not making a claim there, haha.
I agree... especially if we're talking about historical figures who might be pretty far removed from the modern political climate.
But to be fair, there is a pretty direct connection between bigotry and nazis, modern or otherwise.
I swear the over use of the term nazi is what got us to this place where people don't believe Musk is one after doing two sieg heils during the inauguration.
Criticizing the term's over use is not the same as denying their existence or horribleness.

I don't get your logic. You're saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.
Nope. Completely missing the point here.
This comment isn't criticizing women's dating preferences, it's criticizing the criticism on women's dating preferences.
People blame women for not dating moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and further funnelling them into the alt right pipeline.
People blame women for dating conservative men which affirms their political views.
It doesn't matter if women date conservatives men or not, someone will find a way to point fingers.
Then you need to work on your communication skills because what you said was "their damned if they do, and damned if they don't".
Your inability to articulate yourself correctly does not constitute a problem on our part. Your edit is petty all you have to do was clearly explain yourself but instead you went on a rent about how everyone isn't psychic.
Merriam-Webster definition of 'damned if I do, damned if I don't'
idiom informal —used to say that in a specific situation a person can be blamed or considered wrong no matter what he or she does
Your literacy issues do not make for my communication issues.
Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?
The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.
I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I'd have fallen prey to far right conspiricies
Nope. You've got it the other way around. I'm blaming people for criticizing women's dating preferences no matter if they date conservatives or not.
People blame women for refusing to date moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and funnelling them further into the alt-right pipeline.
People blame women for dating conservative men and affirming their conservative views.
It doesn't matter what political preferences women have, there is just no winning here.
like, it doesn't work that way. there should be a social contract saying "people take care of each other, that's how society works".
i get that you're saying women shouldn't despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn't mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it's good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don't take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.
Judging from those three, he's definitely against worker's rights.
Yes it is a red flag. With a round white space in the center and a weird swastika cross.
A red flag with a white circle and a symbol in it
GET OUT
Guys, I'm gonna set my room up with large pictures of Mr. House from New Vegas, Bob Page from Deus Ex, and uh... I dunno, Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner.
How about President Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Reveangence?
... He's on the ceiling above the bed, rofl.
Oh, add Zorg from The 5th Element!
Such an iconic haircut, rofl.
🚩🛑 🚩🛑 🚩🛑 🚩🛑‼️
Double bed in the corner? Pillows with no covers? You matched with a child.
Oh yeah, and the Nazi pictures. That's bad too.
Now I'll be the first one to hate on organ thief Steve Jobs, but I don't think he was a nazi, more of a hippy psycho cult leader.
Yeah, Jobs wasn't a Nazi, he was mostly an asshole that stole the surplus value from his employees and also credit for the work his employees did
I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should've been more clear.
EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn't prematurely die of hubris.
If Jobs was still alive he probably would have been sitting with the other billionaires at Trump's inauguration.
I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).
Were I a young woman, I wouldn't consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.
We had a mattress on a homemade base for a while as parents in our 30s because our first child fell from the bed, which was pretty high as beds go.
So we built this frame on the floor so that our kid could get in and out of the bed with minimal effort, and if she fell, she would fall the height of the mattress.
Let's play a game. What's the fourth picture on his wall that we can't see
Henry Ford.
Ronald Reagan
A famous artist.
Kanye West you say? (Extra points if it's ironically mounted on the East wall)
This would fit perfectly. Trump is another possibility
Yo did you see his new album cover yet?
Andrew Tate.
Thomas Edison.
Oh that's good
Von Braun or Joe Rogan
Mussolini
This one lol.
There's something uncanny about that photo... His head is so fucking ginormous. This looks like a resin statue or some shit lol. How the fuck is his dome that big?? It's like the same size as his torso lol
Edit: A day later and I just can't stop looking at this dude's massive gourd. He looks like a cartoon character. Or like "big-head mode" in a 90s video game lol
He looks much better in the last photo ever taken of him!
I agree... Though I had to rotate that one 180 degrees to properly see it ;)
A certificate from the Andrew Tate fan club.
Elizabeth Holmes
Andrew Ryan
Oh girl, just run.
Red flag? This is USSR .
Considering what Russia was like before and after the USSR, and considering that the Nazis threw everything at destroying the USSR and then the US put all it's weight on strangling the USSR.... Communism is actually kind of incredible in a lot of ways. It turned Russia from a shithole into a global super power and then it did the same for China
Yeah, not ragging on communism. I'm actually a huge fan of Marx, including his tidbit about an armed proletariat. But the country was considered "red" at the time.
Also, good on you for defending the system! I only wish you disparaged the leader a little. Cause, conceptually, the USSR would've lasted a whole lot longer if it wasn't for that murderous prick.
China and Russia have been superpowers way longer than communism has been an idea
All of them are sociopathic businessmen. 110% red flag.
No Ford or Hitler? Guy needs to expand his hate horizons
There's wall not shown on the picture, it can be anything there not seen.
Run now. Far far away. Do not pass go, do not collect 200$.
I don't think you'd see as many red flags as this unless you walked into Morocco in the 1800s.
Run!
that guy is someone you definitely cover your drink around
-Walks into a room with two framed pictures of Nazis-
"Is this a red flag?"
White women will do anything except hold white men accountable. They're content with being numero dos as long as other minorities and women of color remain "at the bottom."
Hey that’s not true throws beer can a woman purchased for me on the ground, assuming a brown person will pick it up I’m perfectly capable of bottoming out all on my own thanks zombies out
Privilege by proxy
I see 3
Wait, was Jobs a Nazi too?
You either die a hero or you live long enough to become a nazi.
Musk has been a fraud since day 1, I can't believe it took him fully becoming a full oligarch for everyone to hop off his dick.
Can't speak for others but from here it seemed like he was pushing the electric car market forward when the bigs weren't risking it which was a good step forward.
Electric cars are not the savior we all want them to be anyways. The dudes just a conman. People are right for being shocked he scammed people over and over for years and kept getting more and more success for it. It shouldnt work that way, but apparently americas premier product is the conman given how much money they are worth to others.
Tesla existed before Musk btw. He just came in and put his name on it, and manipulated the stock by having it appraised as a tech stock and not a car one. Oh and just selling "carbon credits" to other car companies so they can keep making polluters. Tesla would be bigger and more advanced without his influence, especially the toxic work culture he enforced.
Yeah I know all of that now just trying to show why I was fine with him at first. Before he deserved a second look. It's not like I venerated him or anything. I just had no issues with him until the cave incident.
He was much less vocal in the past, back when SpaceX and Tesla were getting big. He barely HAD any amount of public persona, so people just associated him with the cool tech that the companies were doing. That was also before he started taking direct control over technical decisions, so the tech they were outti g out was actually pretty cool.
Something around... like 8 years ago?... made him lose his good sense for keeping his mouth shut. Obvious bet would be the ketamine.
The Guardians of the Incel.
Honey, that's a neuremberg rally
Welcome, to the Nosleep Podcast.
It bothers me that he aligned the frames by their bottom edge, rather than the top.
They look of equal height to me..
they're all the same dimensions, it's just perspective making them look that way.
ABANDON SHIP
Bruh you might not wake up
The blanket is definitely a red flag.
What's wrong with the pillows? I only have one (+ my SO has 1, but those two are not stacked)
And a twin bed to top it all off
You don't like pressure on you when you sleep?
Only the weight of three grown men.
No more, no less
actually, the limit does not exist
Rookie numbers.
This is the reddest flag I’ve ever seen in my life.
That's not a red flag, that's a "drop your stuff and run out of there this instant"
It's definitely some red arm bands.
Run.
Why do people look up to fictional character Andrew Ryan from the hit game Bioshock? -is it the "man chooses , slave obeys" thing?
Pretty sure that's Walt Disney, not Andrew Ryan
That be the joke.
I thought that was Walt Disney
Nicolas Tesla and Steve jobs A little pretentious but sure lol Elon musk is where you lost me
*Walt Disney.
Aaaaahhhh, thank you, I was like, "wtf is Peter Sellers doing there?!"
Thats what big disney wants you to think. Typical sheeple
Omg 💀
Its not Tesla, but Walt Disney.
I thought Henry Ford lol
I thought it was Mr House.
Steve Jobs was an insane asshole who created the kind of toxic work culture which defines Silicon Valley.
Still didn't try his hands at Nazi sympathy nor running the country into the ground, which is why Elon is such an outlier
He was a very shitty dad though
Absolutely. A shit person in general but Elon is all that and then some.
TBF he died before he had the chance.
Nicola Tesla? He's nowhere in this image.
Also, he's great. He doesn't fit in with the others on the wall.
It's a damn tragedy to have him associated in any way to the owner of the electric car company that uses his name.
Tesla (the man) was better than to have that happen to him.
So many red flags it's like a communist revolution . 🚩🚩🚩🇻🇳🇨🇳
How can you tag people? Is it doable in Jerboa?
I don't use Jerboa, I know in Summit I can just type @ and their username, but I think that might only create a hyperlink to their profile and not actually send them a notification.
@[email protected]
For what it counts: I got this notification!
Edit: And to the OP i guess yes absolute red flag fuckin' run lmao, the steve jobs one was enough of a red flag lol
Who's the guy on the left? I'm sure he's awful just via context clues, just not sure why.
Walt Disney. A nazi.
Fucking lol. Everyone is a nazi i guess.
Yeah, if you call everyone a Nazi, eventually nobody is.
Walt Disney
Disney I think
Out of frame is bro jogan
Do you recommend those plastic frames?
Let's just say they're perfect for the pictures in them.
Getting real frames for anything can get pricey. The cheap ones do really suck though
Oh no, that's no a red flag at all.
It's the whole goddamned color guard.
The bed being shoved in the corner is a big red flag. Put that in the middle of the room so you can walk around both sides. If it is needlessly difficult to put the sheets on you can bet they don't get changed very often.
*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn't a vote.
What a weird thing to correct someone about on the internet lol
I like sleeping with a wall. My current room layout makes it better to leave the walls open (closets along one wall, sliding doors to outside on the other), but I prefer to sleep in the corner
Musk is so spineless he can't even look you in the eyes.
Is that Tesla on the left? Next to Elon of all people? Or am I misremembering faces and that's like Ford? That would make more sense
Walt Disney
Wow. I gotta go look at some pictures I guess. I suppose it has been a while
I'm glad you asked, I was trying to figure out what Peter Sellers had in common with Musk.
omg me too
One of them is Walt Disney. I fail to see how Walt is on par with Elon.
Politics. Go look at his Wikipedia page, particularly the section on his character.
I am aware of his union busting authoritarian ass, but he is not only the same level as Elon. Not by a long shot.
Let's ask his frozen head 🥶
Oh damn I thought it was Howard Hughes
I mean ... You got the nazi pictures, you got the conditiin of the bed, those are red flags for a relationship for sure.
A more immediate threat to your life,spending time in the bed, would be the wall plug next to the pillow. The way I spend night in a bed, this wouls be a fire hazard.
So what he's a fan of?

Disney was a pedo, Musk is an arrogant billionaire who his mother is a witch and all his money are made from scams, Jobs is maybe the one you may pass but it's still worrying, as a whole it looks like a nightmare!
I think this guy has some serious daddy issues. Or probably deep inside the closet and is a sub...
I feel like this is a 1000 IQ move if you're a fuckboi.
Put these pictures up. Girl comes over. She's already planning on hooking up, so she'll be inclined to not immediately bail. If she looks uncomfortable, claim that you put those posters up before Elon went insane, and just haven't gotten around to taking them down. The picture of Elon is older and the Jobs poster is 2015-coded, so that will be enough of an excuse for the vast majority of people who already have other things on their mind.
After the deed is done, be respectful. However at the same time drop some phrases that are conservative-coded, but still with plausible deniability. Something about fraud in Ukraine, referring to being non-binary as a "lifestyle choice" that you "personally respect", mention the upcoming stablecoin legislation, etc.
Girl leaves, weirded out but not immediately fearful. A day later, text her. Say that you had a great time, but you sensed there was a bit of a disconnect. Tell her that you could go either way, but the ball was in her court. If she brings up politics, say something like "I'm an independent, I respect everyone's beliefs, and while I respect your perspective I don't plan on changing myself for you".
Maybe she declines, maybe she ghosts you. It doesn't matter, the point is that you don't have to deal with her, and that feeling is mutual.
Same result as a hookup and ghosting, but enough plausible deniability that your name won't go up on social media
You sound like if you've never even spoken to a real human, living woman.
In a happy LTR. Most women don't actually like white knights, and can take a joke ;).
Get help
I guess if the fuckboi is like a psychopath but even then it feels you're better of seeking one night stands
