    Relevant: Jarvis Cocker - Cunts are Still Running the World

    Lyrics:

    Well did you hear, there’s a natural order
    Those most deserving will end up with the most
    That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
    Well I say, shit floats.

    If you thought things had changed
    Friend, you better think again
    Bluntly put, in the fewest of words
    Cunts are still running the world

    And if you don’t like it, then leave
    Or use your right to protest on the street
    Yeah use your right, but don’t imagine that it’s heard
    Cunts are still running the world

      Dude has my respect since he mooned Michael Jackson at an awards show because he thought the awards show was a load of shite.

    Recently I was listening to the podcast Knowledge Fight and heard musk speak for the first time on a twitter conference call thing with Alex Jones. I never knew how bad he is at public speaking

      Being bad at speaking, and being a raging asshole who thinks 7th grade 9gag humor is funny are 2 very different things.

        Nothing directly wrong with 7th grade 9gag humor if you keep it to yourself to giggle in your private time. Don’t dump it over the world as a CEO, though

        He has a lot of issues; I guess I just assumed that he was charismatic in some way I hadn’t seen yet, and that that was influencing people into this cult of personality. But he stammered his way through nervous, awkwardly-worded questions like it was the first time he’d been handed a microphone at a lecture hall, and I guess it somehow still surprised me.

        The fact that he was doing his level best to advocate for the Sandy Hook conspiracy guy, and to justify platforming him while he made yet more claims about the families, that I kind of expected. But I didn’t expect him to act like he was nervous or awed to be there.

      Did you do something today that like thousands of people looked at and considered, hundreds of people approved of, and a handfull of people briefly discussed?

        This platform will rabidly upvote anything critical of Musk, that’s nothing special.

        I just can’t imagine spending my time standing on the side of the road with what is essentially a sandwich board, telling the richest person on the planet I think they’re a loser.

    I don’t get the second part, what is it capitalism? It’s s philosophy, in my opinion.

      by any loose enough definition - coding is philosophy, music theory is philosophy, your food preferences are philosophy.

      same for “system” “paradigm” and any other loose synonym

        All Wikipedia pages lead to philosophy if you just keep clicking the first link in the page.

            I think it’s first link not italicized or in brackets perhaps? There definitely an additional rule that makes it always land.

      1. Guys, why did this get so many downvotes? (was it edited to be more mild? it seems genuinely curious to me, and the responses to it are good)
      2. What is this comment referencing? I don’t see “a second part”. Was the post edited?

        I, who has written the comment, had the same feeling. I assure you that, being English not my mother tongue, was genuinely curious, but when I’ve seen the downvotes, I wanted to ask why, then I realized the I couldn’t care less. If people feel attacked by a comment and they want to do a reprimand via downvotes let them do it.

          Well, if it helps, some solar punk posts like this one go mainstream. I think there’s only about 150 active solarpunk members so when a post gets close to 1000 votes that means non-community members are voting.

          I’ve commented on solarpunk stuff that was mildly in capatlism defense (much more controversial than your question), and had great conversations/critisims with almost no downvotes. So I think/hope the downvotes are not from the core solarpunk community. It is still sad, but I would be much more sad if it happened and the main post only had 100 upvotes.
