YOU WILL DAYDREAM ABOUT WHETHER YOU WILL GET A WINDOW SEAT ON THE MAGIC METAL DICK TO MARTIAN PARADISE

    Ok, I’m shit at Limericks but…

    frantically googles where Elon Musk was born

    There once was a man from Pretoria

    Who’d offer a horse to fuck ya

    Spent all day posting cringe

    Where he’d constantly whinge

    Of his estranged children’s euphoria

      Chuds really, really like the treat printers and lean on them heavily.

      I at the least take the time to find the pictures that fit the vibes. These bazinga dipshits just open wide for the firehose.

      The would-be god king of le simulation (you know, the known universe) sees everything but his own delusions of grandeur as some kind of religion.

      looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he’s an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

      Elon Musk announced that he’s a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk’s reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

      When do you suppose was the last time Musk read a poem (that was not generated by an LLM)?

      Maybe when he saw “Interstellar” and bazinga’d about raging against the dying of the light.

    Between plague and war and the world on fire
    he dusts off the playbook for a failing Empire:

    “Hide your dying system’s inhumanity
    with a brand new, hate-filled, Christianity!”

    See, rhyming’s easy you arrogant shit
    Now do what’s right and get in the barbara-pit

    Capitalists have begun realising that if they want to make conditions considerably worse for people then they need ways to offset that.

    Musk is too stupid to be subtle about it.

    I’d like to know what these fascists call “secular religion”? Do they mean some nebulous thing like “woke”? Or various leftist ideology (chuds tend to mean this)?

      It is implying that people don’t actually become atheist, but rather that humans fundamentally need religion and that the need cannot be otherwise fulfilled.

      It’s a common argument from applied “scientists” in culturally religious nations.

      In this perspective, “wokeness” is a pathology that arises from being lost and misdirected due to a lack of religiosity, as religiosity is considered by them as a primal human need.

      Often, this is a self-directed criticism by the culturally religious: They see a gaping wound where religion in society and history has taken from them, but they see this wound as a void which must be filled with more of the same. And they are unhappy that they have been unable to fill it. They don’t understand that it doesn’t need filled, but healed. They assume that this void exists in all people and that atheists and agnostics are deficient human beings as a result.

        I’m going to be honest, the existence of potterheads/disney adults and a not insignificant amount of leftists makes me think it’s true.

        They don’t understand that it doesn’t need filled, but healed.

        Beautifully put.

        I think when reactionary freeze-gamergate style Reddit New Atheists wander back into religion, be it tradcath shit or the like, it’s from an unhealed sort of “cultural Christianity” that they never fully examined and just assumed should be there with or without the deity.

        Fuck Dawkins btw.

      It’s one of those things left intentionally vague so that the audiences can fill in the blank. It echoes MAGA not saying when America was last great or what made it great then. So one person fills in brand identity, another fills in wokeness, another fills in celebrity worship, another fills in big government, etc. The point isn’t coherency, it’s about getting people with wildly different views to think the solution is to turn the clock back.

      4ch!n greentext seems to imply that “secular religion” means having political or philosophal ideology that cares about other people and wants to improve society somewhat.

      Fever dream power fantasies of robot gods of the future? That’s just science and applied Bayesianism big-yud

      You know Elon’s the type to get blacklisted from brothels because of that one time he tried to brand someone with the SpaceX Tesla logo
