Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The ultra rich are fucking weird in general. Too much money warps your soul quicker than the One Ring.

Money is ultimately power and power corrupts ultimately

I think it’s more the kind of person you have to be to get that much wealth in the first place selects for unethical people.

It’s not like they were good people before they had the money.

Both might be true. Being poor seems to make people more empathic too.

I don’t think being poor made me more empathetic. I was always empathetic.

I was just a priviledged fuck that didnt realise how bad it could get. Now that I do, my empathy extends further because I understand how much worse it is than I previously realised.

I don’t think it made me more inherently empathetic though.

If you read the Epstein article in wikipedia you really just realise how they are all part of one social group.

In case you guessed it already: Yes, the "far-right ideologue" is the infamous Alexander Dugin.

The "Foundations of Geopolitics" dude?

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago

That's him, the one whose stated goals can be seen in every move the trump regime makes.

I've been waiting patiently for him to be reunited with his daughter

Biblical end time blunt rotation in that room jesus fuck

Is he taking his step-daughter who also happens to be his wife with him to the event?

Fun fact, Errol heaps praise on Elon's brother, but speaks with disappointment and contempt about Elon. All MAGA has daddy issues.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

If only Musk would use LSD or whichever drug helps to resolve those issues instead of ketamine.

attend the Forum of the Future

You must be the ultimate loser to believe that Russians grasp the concept of having a future. At least I'm glad people can start to understand that billionaires can be fucking morons.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, Russia has an idea of their envisioned future. They even have a checklist for it.

Unfortunately, a good chunk of the steps are "and then the country surrenders to the overwhelming might of the Russian military".

This man is brainless and just trying to make money on his son's name. Listen to him speak in any interview, he makes about as much sense as Donald

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago

"in Russia" is the only (more or less) new thing

[–] philpo@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

Well, can the man not go to the international slave owner fair without being pointed at?

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago

Is his son Elon the far right ideologue who is hosting the event?
