As usual we’ve found an engaging distraction to play whack-a-mole with for a while. When we get bored with bashing Elon Musk we’ll find another one, never addressing the core problem of how to take down the oligarchy. Because that will take methodical work and a huge amount of diligent research and objective thinking - assuming anybody ever gets around to doing it at all. Most of us just entertain ourselves with angry memes, created by the few people with enough motivation to do even that much. This is why aristocracy systems can keep perpetuating themselves - they rely on human inertia - most people prioritize entertainment over doing anything substantial. Bottom line, that’s the real reason things are the way they are.
thank you
edit: actually the main page is pretty much dead links R us.
Things you can do when you have fuck-you money to burn: buy a billboard.
I thought about buying / renting a billboard in a small town in Texas where a shitty family mistreated my partner’s nephew when he did a cultural-exchange program (her family is Thai). It would be essentially this but about that family. I didn’t go through with it because they got kicked out of the program via other avenues.
I did buy a discounted ad on a podcast to rail about how much I hate ads. That was fun. I think I paid like $175 or something. I don’t have fuck-you money, but I do have low level fuck-around money.
I think I figured out one reason Trump is going after Greenland. It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.
pretty sure I’ve seen this joke like 6 times lol but I guess with Trump the dumbest answer is unfortunately often the correct one
That is genuinely stupid enough to be plausible.
There is one and only one reason Trump/US wants Greenland. With US out of NATO, it is a point closer to Europe to threaten Europe. Every other explanation is a disgusting lie, and of zero value to US.
It wouldn’t be very strategically important to the US on its own, but it currently is strategically important to NATO and harmful to Russia.
Getting NATO out of Greenland is Putin’s order.
Absolutely absurdity that has to stop. Greenland is far away from Russia. Fine, some possible ICBM missile trajectories go over Greenland, but NATO is not going to stop US from putting missile shield or offensive nukes in Greenland, as long as it stays under NATO oversight. The Putin Derangement Syndrome that extends to explaining all Trump actions as gifts to Russia needs to stop being said out loud. Pure CIA disinformation to somehow brainwash Europe into accepting this.
It’s about Naval access to the Atlantic. The Russian Navy has to go between Greenland and Norway. With NATO controlling both sides, they don’t have a route to the Atlantic through friendly waters.
There are international waters between Iceland and UK. When US is part of NATO, with as a matter of fact, dictatorial control over NATO, ownership of Greenland doesn’t matter. It is only a severance of US/NATO alliance that makes Greenland matter.
And Trump has also indicated we’re leaving NATO.
So having Greenland as part of NATO independent of the US important. If Trump were to take Greenland, he could allow Russian Naval activity in Greenland’s territorial waters.
Need to stop with any fantasies that US needs Greenland in order to gift Russia anything whatsoever. Russia has access to both oceans and does not need to go anywhere near Greenland to even ship to US or Canada, much less Europe. It does not care about any resources in Greenland because the closest consumer is eastern Canada and US.
Yes Trump wants to leave NATO. If Greenland stays part of Denmark/NATO then that can threaten US.
Look at it, it’s almost as bit as Africa! We haven’t found who is the president of Africa, so we had to make do with Greenland though.
Oh wow, this actually makes sense now
My guess is that it has to do with rights to the ocean floor.
I’m out of the loop and also not American. Can somebody elaborate please?
People sometimes come up with things they think are clever, but don’t have the time, money, or energy to present them in a meaningful way, so they instead make a shitty AI image of a billboard to get more attention than their words would otherwise.
Trump wants to buy Greenland and Canada, rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America, and take control of the Panama canal
Who even gets the money when you buy a country? Does it go to the people? If it does then that money is coming right back through taxes.
Historically, the king / emperor gets it. I’m guessing that most of the time it’s probably used to pay down war debts.
He has no interest in buying either Canada or Greenland. He hasn’t ruled out using force though.
Trump wants to invade Greenland and Panama. He wants to extort Canada into having no other choice than to submit to statehood.
Apologies, I don’t follow Trump crap too closely since I’m in the EU and I don’t want to turn into a doomer so I based it off the pic
But yeah all in all fuck Trump
Donald Trump has offered to purchase Greenland. He wants to take the Panama Canal by brute force and keeps suggesting that Canada should become a State in order to avoid his oncoming tariffs. Meanwhile, Musk ‘donated’ about 250,000,000 USD to Trumps election campaign helping ensure he won and now we are all watching the US become an oligarchy. (Effectively Trump is owned by Musk).
Donald Trump has offered to purchase Greenland.
No, Trump has been saying, in a threatening way, that Greenland is going to be part of the United States. He hasn’t suggested buying it, but he hasn’t ruled out taking it with military force.
Effectively Trump is owned by Musk
No. Musk bought a little influence and so far hasn’t pissed Trump off enough that he’s been cut off. But, it’s just a matter of time.
He has asked to buy it several times, not sure where you have been.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/25/trump-greenland-denmark
Nice to see that Mush bought influence with Drump. I personally am not going to play the game of talking about them not getting along. These two clowns trying to play good cop bad cop when they are both heels is pretty stupid.
It’s both. He keeps asking how much for Greenland while suggestively saying it’s necessary for security. So threat and purchase offer. Like a true criminal.
Elon Musk is the resident Nazi at the heart of the US government and is widely believed to have bought his influence with Trump. Oh and also Trump is President again after being a convicted criminal. No this isn’t a joke.
What makes Elon a Nazi? Does he promote genocide or racism? I’ve only seen one picture of him doing the pose but have no context. Also lol on Trump. I would’ve assumed people with such a track record wouldn’t even qualify to work as teachers or any other job, let alone run and get elected as president lmao.
Watch the video. Don’t just look at the pics, watch the damn video. This is some sea lioning just asking questions nonsense that I can’t take seriously. His family left Canada during their civil rights movement to move to apartheid South Africa to enslave Africans in an emerald mine. He’s a fascist. He’s a Nazi. Call a spade a spade instead of instilling doubt. Defend a Nazi you are a Nazi.
I’m answering this half assuming good faith but this being the internet I’m heavily doubting it’s a good faith innocent question.
He has a long history of retweeting Nazis and agreeing with them. It’s an indictment on our society that this is so little known even in the USA.
Elon Musk has a well documented track record of supporting far right causes that mirror Nazi ideology. At the Inauguration he performed two Nazi salutes (one to the crowd and one to the flag). He routinely promotes the methods of genocides of trans people and Palistinians through both verbal parlance and through direct funding and uses well known euphemisms in support of white supremacy causes. He has authoritarian leanings tasked with removing from government service entire administrative arms that previously were not electable or apointable positions (because they were staffed with experts whose task is to stick to their guns of scientific or proven best practice and not simply be yes men telling the administration what they want to hear).
He also has never denied making a Nazi salute in the days since it’s happened instead deciding to make Holocaust and Nazi featured jokes.
At this point what evidence can be put forward that he is not a Nazi?
That’s the neat part: Convicted felons ARE excluded from most public service jobs like being a teacher or a mayor. It was widely believed that this included the presidency until the Supreme Court decided it somehow didn’t.
Musk is very pro apartheid in South Africa and Israel, as a model for “If all politicians love Israel doing what it does, surely America can do similar in US.” Neo-naziism, mainstream right, in America is hateful of blacks, Muslims, and Hispanics. Genocidal ethnic supremacist, Netanyahu, says Musk cannot be a nazi because he supports Israel as much as all US rulership/oligarchy.
Rather than semantic definitions of nazi, we should focus on Supremacist apartheid ethno states being praised for democracy. That ADL/Netanyahu, and all politicians who pledge loyalty to Israel, support Musk, and thought Trump would be best for Israel, is the core problem in US/media rulership.
Ah yes, because the US has a history of just accepting no for an answer and absolutely does not use coercion and violence to get the desired outcome.
AI slop.
To the extent that the billboard never existed while the image implies it did – sure.
I love the term ‘slop’. It’s one of my favorite new words along with ‘nontent’.
But this, to me, isn’t that. I think of slop as ‘unrequested, unconvincing, lazy, and lifeless’. In short, ineffective and unwelcome.
I feel like this meme gets the message across. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The AI tells are subtle enough: the multi lane pileup in the background and some poor small size text rendering.
Not sure why I felt the need to write this. Guess I’m of the opinion that just because something is AI-generated doesn’t mean it should be discounted immediately, unless it really feels like zero effort went into it. Have a nice day!
Yeah, I feel like there isn’t much of a difference between taking an existing picture and editing the text into it or using AI to generate a picture and editing the text into it.
Because I think the text looks way too good to be done by AI.
I’m fairly certain the text is AI generated too, just because of the questionable “creative” decisions that I don’t think a human would make (why does some of the text have overlines? why is only the Canada line red? why are all the lines jarringly different font sizes?)
plus, now that I zoom in, one of the colons has different sizes for the top and bottom dots. I guess GANs can just do text now
that was close, almost upvoted.
I mean the message is good, but the medium is, well slop.
Baseless AI hate. Get a new hobby
Can’t afford a hobby.
With Tump back in the office, soon enough they’ll be auctioning off federal lands and the postal service. Privatization is back on the menu.
I’m more worried if Germany is for sale
Boy in a candy store mentality, although surprised he knew how to zoom out on google maps.
I feel like I’ve read snappier slogans.
