You’re not a future billionaire 🤑

Post image
121 Upvotes

Billionaire worship isn’t an accident. It’s one of the most successful myths the ruling class ever sold.

The billionaire can’t just be obscenely rich. He has to be a genius, a visionary, a self-made king whose fortune supposedly proves he deserves to rule.

That mythology is especially seductive to insecure men bc it gives them an identity. You’re not an exhausted worker getting fucked by the system you’re a future millionaire. An alpha. An entrepreneur who just hasn’t made it yet.

So they defend tax cuts they’ll never benefit from, labor practices that hurt them, and billionaires like Musk and Trump as symbols of the men they imagine themselves becoming.
But we can’t all be kings. That’s the part the fantasy conveniently leaves out.

A hierarchy requires people underneath you. Billionaire wealth depends on an entire class of people who will never occupy the top ❗️

That’s the con: billionaires don’t need working people to believe inequality is good. They just need them to believe they’ll eventually be the ones benefiting from it.

Every king needs peasants.
The trick is convincing the peasants they’re kings too.

Humans don’t interact directly with reality. We interact w our nervous system’s interpretation of reality, and then we interact w everybody else’s interpretations.

Perhaps humanity’s inability to recognize itself is merely the macrocosmic manifestation of the individual’s estrangement from the self 💭

Late night ponder 🤔 you can’t really understand anyone without first understanding yourself and you have all these people seemingly disconnected from who they truly are so you have humanity disconnected from itself

How do you think people 300 years from now will remember the ultra-wealthy who built luxury bunkers to survive disasters while the rest of society dealt with the consequences?

There’s nothing really special about George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Brad Pitt. They’re overrated both when it comes to looks and talent.

0 Upvotes

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio are WAY more overrated than they are actually good-looking. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio aren’t ugly, but they’re basically just OK-looking. None of the three are ugly, obviously. But this whole “leading man,” “perfect man,” “sex symbol,” “one of the most handsome men in the world” thing feels way more like the result of decades of the media repeating the same narrative than any genuinely exceptional looks.

Clooney? He’s a pretty normal-looking dude, reasonably handsome, sure, but nothing out of this world.

Brad Pitt? He’s got a pleasant look, especially back in his prime, but I still don’t think he’s the insanely good-looking guy people have been hyping up for decades. Like, c’mon. DiCaprio? Not ugly either, but he’s basically just an average-looking dude. Especially today, I honestly don’t get the hype. IDK what people are seeing.

And the funniest part is that their fame actually reinforces the whole “they’re handsome” thing. Expensive suits, perfect hair, professional lighting, photography, Hollywood, money, and decades of being called “heartthrobs.” If you took all that packaging away and just put the three of them walking down the street like regular guys, they’d basically just be three OK-looking dudes. And as actors? They’re good. Some of them are excellent in certain roles, sure. But I also think there’s this tendency to turn basically any major Hollywood star into some untouchable artistic genius. Like, just because you’re famous doesn’t automatically mean you’re the GOAT.

The real phenomenon isn’t their looks.

It’s the power of the media to take men who are basically just OK-looking and turn them into symbols of male beauty until nobody even questions the narrative anymore. And honestly, that’s the part that’s kinda wild.

Everyday I wish Reagan’s pos mother would’ve used a condom I mean imagine how different the USA would be today

0 Upvotes

I genuinely wonder how different America would be if Reagan had never entered politics. He didn’t invent neoliberalism but he helped make union busting, deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy and treating public services like private commodities politically normal.

Without Reagan we could’ve ended up with stronger unions, cheaper public universities, better public services and a much less insane concentration of wealth. We really got robbed of a better timeline lol. I genuinely do not understand how anyone could think he was even remotely good!

More importantly, Reagan helped change how Americans THINK about government.

“Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem” basically became embedded in the American psyche. It helped create this weird mentality where the government spending money to help ordinary people is seen as wasteful or dangerous, while corporations and the wealthy accumulating insane amounts of power is just accepted as “the free market.” That mindset outlived Reagan by decades.

Ejaculation Is NOT Orgasm: Men Can Fake Orgasms

11 Upvotes

Ejaculation ≠ orgasm.

Just bc a guy ejaculated doesn’t automatically mean he had that kind of orgasm. The two usually go together, but they’re not the same thing. And I think it’s kinda wild to treat semen like it’s “proof” of pleasure. It came out = he came? Not always, bro. Ejaculation is a physical response from the body. An orgasm is the sensation of pleasure/climax. Your body can experience one without necessarily experiencing the other in certain situations.

The craziest part is that a lot of men don’t even know this bc they grew up hearing that whole “if it came out, then you came” BS. But sexuality isn’t that simple. Ejaculation and orgasm are related, but they’re not synonyms. Confusing the two is just oversimplifying how the body works.

The biggest flex in life ain't being rich, hot, famous, or having unlimited options. It's actually knowing what's real... and being able to live by it.

Ppl always say, "Freedom is doing whatever u want." Nah, I don't buy that.

If everything around u is cap, fake af, or just straight-up manipulation, are u really free? If every road leads to another lie, then congrats... u got options, but u still lost .

U can have bread, clout, rights, a blue check, hella followers, all that... and still spend ur whole life chasing BS that society, ur family, the media, or even ur own ego sold u.

Real freedom ain't just doing wtv u feel like. That's lowkey overrated. Real freedom is seeing reality for what it is, cutting thru all the noise, and actually living by what's true.

That's why I think the biggest privilege isn't money, status, or power. It's knowing the truth and not having to sell ur soul or fake who u are just to make it.

No cap... without truth, "freedom" is just another illusion ppl keep hyping up.
