On the off-chance you missed it, The richest man in the world, a dull-eyed cloistered neo-Nazi who believes in natalism and that he, as an elect denizen of the master races, has a duty to "breed" as much as possible, a man who purchased a social medium specifically to gatekeep public conversation, to support political candidates that specifically worked for a violent fascist overthrow of the United States, and to reinstate, validate and amplify the voices of fellow neo-Nazis previously banned from the medium for telling Jews randomly and routinely to "get in the oven," who aped, shared and blessed white supremacist "great replacement" theory that specifically prescribes ethnic cleansing as a means of sanitizing sacred "Western culture," and who fanned those voices, including that of a multicount-indicted slaver and sex trafficker and zealous advocate of the subjugation of women, to spark a wave of neo-Nazi riots across England wherein frothing white men tried to burn people in their sleep - that man publicly told Taylor Swift last night, via tweet, that he would deign to rape and impregnate her as some kind of dithering attempt to deter her from her endorsement of a non-fascist presidential candidate.
I share this because any fucking time these preening powerful reactionary "Alpha" white men tell you they are not weird-ass psychos, there is not an iota of evidence supporting their case.

Not remotely suggesting she can't deal with this shit on her own, but I would LOVE to see Travis Kelce have a candid "conversation" with this piece of shit.
I am obviously pretty critical of capitalism, its corporate media subsidiaries and the system of servility it seeks to impose upon the world, but I would think, even in that gross corrupt world, "Billionaire Proposes to Rape World's Biggest Popstar for Not Embracing Fascism" might be a bigger story that maybe had some kind of consequences.

@GrimmReality What does the existance of a billionair have to do with capitalism. In socialism billionairs exist by design and far fewer of them, they just happen to be the people in charge. Stalin was one of the richest people in history and clearly wasnt part of a capitalism.
inb4: I am not saying all communism needs to have billionaires in theory. Just in practice all that have existed have more effectively pooled money into a few peoples hands than a capitalism ever could.
@freemo the cold war ended 32 years ago. When people criticize capitalism, they are not automatically endorsing the Soviet Union, communism, socialism, Stalin, Lenin, Marx, or any other McCarthyist boogeyman. They are just criticizing the world we live in.
@jonoleth I could have just as easily picked a more modern country. Stalin was just a better documented example than say north korea.
@freemo criticizing capitalism is not endorsing communism
No one said it was.
@freemo yeah, you did. Tired of this now.
@jonoleth Nope, I think I'd know what I said and thought. Never once did I think that.
@freemo I didn't mean to imply that capitalism is a metonym for the world at large, nor that that's what OP meant. I meant that criticism of capitalism, which the whole world now lives under, is not an endorsement of the other side of the false dichotomy imposed by a political conflict that ended 32 years ago.
Like claiming that criticism of Godzilla wrecking the city is a vote for King Kong wrecking the city.
