The brief period of democracy is over for the West. It is incompatible with wild wealth disparity.

The other monkeys would kill the hoarding monkey and take his bananas. Maybe the monkeys have it figured out.

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

With humans, the monkeys with atleast one banana defend the banana hoarder because they want to kill the starving monkeys.

Eat and masturbate all day

Sleep in a tree

Occasionally violently murder others causing you distress

Yeah, I think they have it pretty figured out. We fucked it up

We never should of gotten down from the trees. Big mistake

We already have scientists who study parasites. Muskrat is a parasite.

How rich does someone have to be before their physical body is torn to shreds in front of a cheering crowd? Purely theoretical question

Absolute weath is not the real measure. Rockefeller was worth 600bn in today's money.

Inequality is what is more important

US more unequal than french revolution

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

yeah and look what happened to them, spacex should be disbanded.

SpaceX has a decent COO and business model. It's not worth 1trn though.

It should be nationalized. It does do some good things. It just does a lot of harm while doing so. It should be allowed to keep operating, but for the public good.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Nasa should get to use it for free.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

SpaceX does but X.ai, X, and all the other shit companies he umbrella'd under it and not worth it. That's what I meant by disband

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 points 18 hours ago

yeah unfortunately musk has gotten that idea that you can't have a mars colony unless you also have fully autonomous robotic workforce there to build everything ... i don't agree.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Depends on how powerful they are.

I’m sure millions of Ukrainians would love to tear billionaire Putin to shreds, they just can’t get at him.

You'll find nothing but Nazi despair inside.

[–] 69420@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

~~dissect~~ disembowel

i am on the record as saying that nobody "deserves" to die, but i can get behind a noble sacrifice in the name of scientific advancement.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Someone responsible for the deaths of millions of people (remember USAID?) deserves to die.

Completely unrelated question, how long has it been since the last time we had a vivisection?

I like the video of researchers experimenting on social behavior in monkeys where they gave one monkey a banana who was happy until they gave another monkey a cherry in view of the first. That first monkey lost his shit and started screaming at the researcher by being visibly frustrated in his cage.

That's us, except we are losing our bananas, while the other one is getting the entire cherry orchid.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wasn't there a study where a hoarding monkey got severely beaten by the other monkeys ?

To shreds, you say?

How much is 1.33 trillion meme-coin in USD?

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

About tree fiddy

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Musk = POS Nazi.

It’s good to know we learned the obvious and valuable lesson Howard Hughes and the dangers of concentrated wealth have taught us multiple times over throughout the past, because it would be really fucking stupid for the world to repeatedly enable that exact same situation over and over again, that would be really disappointing.
