And you think you're so clever and classless and free

But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

Thinking that Musk is in the working class is the dumbest thing I've read this morning.

Plus the local school board is elected while Musk had a few months to destroy the government for the Republicans without being elected.

It’s not dumb, it shows the brilliance of the ruling class in controlling the narrative. A lot of people will think this way and continue to support them even though it’s grossly misguided and definitely not in their own best interests.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 days ago

It's both, the ruling class is absolutely using their control of the media to steer the narrative, but plenty of people who are exposed to the same media recgnize that Elon is the enemy, this guy is definitely still a moron in every timeline regardless of the state of the media environment

"but he works through the night!"

because he's shit at his job

[–] derry@midwest.social 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because he's high as a kite is more likely

You can take any 2 of the 3 statements and put "because" in between them and it makes sense.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 73 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Give same vibes as this NYT article that got shit on so much it got taken down lol.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

That's about as out of touch as one can get.

Bret Stephens is a bed bug.

The working class hero is not the one that achieves success and then proceeds to fuck over the working class. That’s the billionaire’s working class puppet.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 85 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Mmm yes, nothing says working class like “admitted publicly that you bought an election”.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 71 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Elon Musk is an enemy of the working class. Anything that states otherwise is an absolute lie.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand the meme

Does the word "put" mean "assign to" (demote Elon musk by assigning him to the working-class) or classify? It's very poorly worded

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The wording is actually fine, but I realize not everyone is steeped in US culture and language every day. To "put [blank] in ..." is a common shorthand for assigning to a specific group or side. It's just a thought experiment.

Their actual point is unhinged, and easily proven wrong though...

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 60 points 4 days ago

Don’t forget the true elites: the blue-haired, tattooed barista who makes your coffee, works two other jobs and shares with a roommate in his 30s.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 3 days ago

This is that guy in your local daily newspapers comment section who still rants about Obama like it's 2009.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 29 points 4 days ago

What zero theory does to a mf

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 days ago

Yes…yes… no… wtf

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Square Joe Smith is clearly not in the thinking class.

[–] Mardukas@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Whether this was written by a bot or not, I'd say the intelligence is definitely artificial...

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Non-existent, even

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 13 points 4 days ago

WOW WOWEE WOW

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Put the kettle on. I can work with this. First, let's define what we each mean by "working class" ...

Yeah, this is how we should address this. Not mocking, but as a stepping stone.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For those who don't know

Which is probably a lot, they didn't give this song a lot of airtime. For some reason.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because of the word "fucking"?

It's one for the ages, though. It's been covered by a lot of Big Names over the decades. Ozzy Osbourne, Green Day, Marylin Manson, Marianne Faithful, Cyndi Lauper, Manic Street Preachers. And a lot of others. It's gotten quieter about the song these days, I guess, maybe because guitars are somewhat out of fashion.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That Cyndi Lauper version is a mindfuck.

Edit: They muted her for the part where she talked bad about religion...

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I saw one of this but unironically some friends in a whatsapp group where complainig of games at 80 dollars. And the conservative one blamed lesbian writers. Dude how in the everlasting fuck can that be?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Doesn't he know women are paid less?

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Don't even try to make sense of it you'll hurt your braincells.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

These guys image of lesbians are the classic dike/butch stereotype (is there a more preferred term?). They dress and act more masc so they must get paid more /s.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Oh they were so close to getting it

[–] callyral@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

well i sure hope this is satire or some way to bypass twitter moderation or something like that

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Their final brain cell’s dying thought.

Our school board is full of assholes

I'd never give them any more power than they already have

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

My beef is not the person vs the institution. My problem is the people who build institutions and refuse to go through what we all go through.

The real battle is between the ruling classes.
