Imagine having all that power and wealth, having the technology to shape the world at your command. Yet, the kind of world you create is this.

this

They have no creativity, no flare. Like, bro, you could probably use your money to fund bringing dinosaurs back to life or some shit, but instead, you make VR chat but without legs.

Boring.

Even the clothes they wear are boring. Motherfucker you could invent new styles. The possibilities are endless- oh he's wearing a generic business suit.

Oh, he changed into a grey turtleneck. Daring today.

And don't get me started on the houses that rich people design. Oh, look, another white box with a lot of glass wall windows. Oooooo. YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, BUILD A VOLCANO LAIR YOU LOSER.

The cars they design suck too. Imagine spending hundreds of thousands to millions on a car that's barely any different from a cheap car. At least make it fart fire or some shit.

All this fetishizing of individuality and private property and they SUCK at making the most of it.

I dunno man, if you're going to destroy the world with your greed, at least be a compelling villain.

Maybe that's why Trump was so popular, he was an awful human being but at least he was funny sometimes.

The rich and powerful are unimaginative and stale. What a waste of money and power.

    They must be this boring. The market dictates that they must be. People who dont behave according to the market dont get to be billionaires. That's how capitalism works.
    If you want pizzaz go look at Saudi Royals.

    You were correct that Trump having any flavor is a major reason why he was popular.

      I've said it before and I'll say it again:

      It is a crime against humanity that Elon Musk singlehandedly gentrified both science and futurism. The TWO places where this boring adherence to convention shouldn't dominate, but somehow Musk did it.

          :reddit-logo: debate bros cry "ummm acktually that's a logical fallacy" but are the first to do an appeal to nature and anthropomorphize it as having some kind of pro-fash goal

          I always wondered where the Solarpunks keep getting all that white metal.

    Exactly! If I was rich I would have a shark pit and a fortress on a volcano island.

      If I was rich I would finance communist revolutionaries through illicit channels

        it'll be the people's shark pit, and by shark pit I mean a cruelty-free aquarium.

    Looking at Wyatt Koch's hawaiian shirt line it's probably for the best if they don't invent new styles

    A lot of propaganda works because most people are failed by the education system. It works perfectly for the bougiesie because they basically have to do a minimum amount of effort to convince people who lack critical thinking skills anything they want. However I think this sort of backfires because it means the bougoesie have no imagination to come up with any other ideas
