Why are there people like this?! - Lemmy.world

Because as a society we’ve forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people
Worse, we're throwing piles of money at them.
“but they’re entertaining!”
This right here. Germans thought Hitler was “entertaining”, too, for a while.

That was the whole premise behind r/the_donald back on Reddit, and it started as irony and then the numbskulls who don’t get or don’t care about “irony” and “satire” showed up and meme’d Trump to four nightmarish years as President.

I know he’s not Hitler or anything, but the book of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand that his ex-wife told us about tells us he definitely admired Hitler, absolutely disgusting.

He could very well become as bad as Hitler, I think he’s the same kind of psychopath. The parallels are uncanny, AH and Trump are both ridiculous figures that’s why they are underestimated until it’s too late. Also the speech on January 6th and the accompanying video are fully, unapologetically “Nazi” to a degree Goebbels would have been proud (the “we’ve been so nice to them”) speech.

or or?

And which thing is applying to which person? I need the joke explained :(

It's not specific, it's just making the point that the options being given are something bad, something bad, or something good. Pretty obvious choice to anybody with half a brain.
Ya I don’t get it either
I was reading too much into it. It’s just ‘here’s another situation with 2 obviously shit options and 1 really good one.’

$10M??

I’d take $10. Seriously. I mean I guess unless the meal was fully paid for and pretty fancy. But with either of these two donuts that feels like hardly a given.

$10 is a sure bet.

I mean, I’d put odds on either of them leaving you with the check for dinner, because you received the “honor” of dining with them.
Something tells me both these asshole wear shoes with no socks.

You wouldn’t be able to pay me to be seen with Tate

I don’t like Musk much at all but I’d prob pay $100 to eat dinner with him and try to figure out wtf the rationale for some of his moves has been.

The psychopaths who think they can get Musk/JayZ/etc to be their sugar daddy and find their wildest dreams or suddenly teach them how to be rich fucks…yeah they kind of scare me

Wtf is Tate news? Jesus Christ man.

Step 1: have $1Bn ready

Step 2: collect interest rates

Elon goes more like… Step 1: Have $1b Step 2: Lose $990m

Imagine being literally the richest man on the world and people still act like you’re bad at finances.

“But he inherited the wealth…”

As did many other billionaires that didn’t make it to the front of that list

Imagine thinking billionaires don’t pay people to do their finances.

Elon doesn’t lose money because of a lack of handled finances, but because he says and does absurd shit.

Other billionaires have access to the same financial advisers. Unless all billionaires are extremely stupid and Elon just happens to be the least stupid one of them then this logic simply just doesn’t add up.
Why is he making a vagina with his fingers?
Thanks, good to know I’m not the only one who noticed that. As for your answer, I have no idea. But my guess would be some hidden longing to get screwed himself, makes me wonder how often he dropped the soap in that Romanian jail…
He learned that trick from former german chancelor Angela Merkel. “Merkel-Raute” is the term.
The initial question is so stupid that I’m wondering if it’s a troll. 99.9% of even hardcore fans of both would obviously take the ten million fucking dollars.

I screen capped this myself (I know – rare) and I can assure you, the account is not a troll. Or they’ve transcended to some other plane of existence and keep trolling from there.

And the top comments were, apart from a few people mocking them, mostly arguing between options A and B. Since comments of users with Twitter Blue show up first, that even makes sense. Many were sure you’d have those 10 million in a year or two after meeting those geniuses.

Don’t ask me why or how. I am pondering daily if the internet maybe failed and if we should just shut it all down.

Many were sure you’d have those 10 million in a year or two after meeting those geniuses.

That’s some next-level delusional, but sadly I can believe it. Although I’m certain nearly all of them would actually take the money if it were a real situation, but they either don’t realise it, or they’re “virtue signaling” to their fellow online douche fans.

Also, 10 million in a year or two? Take it now, lol. Do they really think there are parallel timelines where the meet ‘n’ greet option is the one where’d they’d end up netting significantly more in the long run?

Also

I screen capped this myself

For a split second I read this as “I crapped myself”. Lol.

There’s a good chance it’s a joke, like one of those “Would I slap my mother for $10million? I would slap my mother, but I wouldn’t take the $10million because the experience I would gain would be worth infinitely more than that” posts.
I mean, realistically my moyher would kill me on the spot if I didn’t take the 10 million just for slapping her.
Honestly the amount could be $10 and I’d take it. I don’t get why anyone would want to share the same air as either of these people
Honestly, I’d take a kick in the nuts over the other two options…

You could take the time to hit them in the face.

But I’d still rather take no money at all.

Sadly, Andrew Tate has been punched in the face many times and it’s done nothing to change him.
Who said anything about changing him? I just wanna have fun.

Fair enough, although when the guy is used to getting punched in the face, it’s not going to faze him much.

Now Musk, on the other hand, do punch away.

Perhaps he has actual brain damage and didn’t go to the doctor because that’s not alpha :(

The real alpha thing is going to the doctor and taking care of your health so you can outlive all the loser betas.

Guaranteed Tate has a team of nutritionists and trainers to keep him fit. Almost nobody is that bulky and toned without help.

Eh, he probably just takes steroids and watches some gym bro on Instagram for workout ideas, people that proud and stupid rarely ask others for advice/help.
Honestly you could take my money so I don’t have to go. All of it.
Sounds like someone has 0 money
Cat: To slip poison into their food, duh.
I’d pay $1000 to now have to sit with those two assholes for dinner.
If I had their air I wouldn’t share it.
Get 10 million, pay 100, I don’t care. I won’t get near those two idiots. You could even pay me 20 million and I’d still take the money.

You could even pay me 20 million and I’d still take the money.

Uh… yeah?

Me personally, you could give me $100mm and I’d still take the money
I know, I know. But I’d be fine with it.

[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]

I think the real scenario is that, after going to dinner with either of them, you’ll get a 10m dollar bill in the mail.
What is this? A battle about how stupid a question / choice can get? Sounds like 5th grade schoolyard fun. Anyway, I take the chainsaw…
Cat: Hey, don’t knock an opportunity for a dinner with a shitstain billionaire. You’ll never have a better chance to kill them.

Oh what I’d give for the opportunity to just lay right into Elon Musk’s ego. You could really tell him off and based on his behavior on Twitter, he’s a baby who can’t take criticism, so it’d really hurt.

That being said, I’m taking the 10M.

If you play your cards well, you’ll convince them to pay invest $1 billion in your crappy awesome crypto NFT startup.
Tate just looks like an absolute twat in that outfit. Like his mom dressed him for school picture day in last year’s clothes that don’t fit anymore.

I’d really like to have dinner with them! Then after a bottle of wine or two, maybe I’d get up and slowly walk behind their chair. My hands playfully walking up their arm, and I’d kiss the back of their head and whisper “I’ve been looking forward to this”.

Then I would drop them into their chairs with trucker ties and duct tape, having paid off the whole restaurant with the 10 million I stole from the asshole who put me up to this question.

Then it would be a slow, methodical interrogation, culminating in dentistry tools in a handgun to ask them why the hell they say the stupid shit they say and if they really even believe it. I’d like to be a time traveler that could do this to all kinds of sick and or evil fucks throughout time.

In case anyone thinks I’m being serious, I’m just joking. But I do genuinely wonder what they would say under such circumstances

“Twice the pride double the fall.” - OP as he wines, dines, and brutally torture two rich shitbags.
I would like to have my 10 million, now! 🫱
