Does anyone else think Scrooge McDuck is MAGA too?
His political inclinations are probably dictated by what his class finds economically advantageous. Blah blah material interests blah.
Something Burger 🍔He probably would be against Trump wanting to be a dictator because he would want to be the dictator, considering he himself seceded from the US and made himself king.
What an embarrassing shit stain
henfredemarsOnly monsters accumulate that much wealth. You do it by stealing it away from those less fortunate.

I still can’t believe he did a Nazi salute at the inauguration. What a thunder cunt.
lennybirdSteve Bannon did it too not long after, if I recall.
Only thing is I can believe it. They’re pushing the boundaries of their capacity to gaslight. Testing waters and arrogant in their confidence.
They were trying to normalize it for a while afterwards. One or more of the right wing Barbies did it later too, maybe Ann Coulter I can’t remember.
To me it really reeks of a pathological illness, honestly. Like a compulsive obsession.
Yup, not only could he use his money for good, but he’s literally part of the billionaires seeking
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment
The money and power isn’t enough until society as we know it collapses and techno-billionaires run their their own neofuedalist slave kingdoms because it’s about “competing” with the other billionaires rather than having money. It’s just about some weird psychopathic idea of having to “win” and and have the biggest legacy, no matter how fucked that legacy is
Oh hey, a 30 minute video basically breaking down Dark Enlightenment into what’s currently happening: youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no

They are traitors to humanity. Their hoarding hurts all others. It should be illegal.
If the Republicans were actually following the bible, not power and cruelty, it would be.
And by wage theft. Tesla and spaceX used a lot of small subcontractors and simply never paid them. They incurred so many costs on the smaller businesses that they would go bankrupt and didn’t have the means to sue for their wages.
I can’t believe this fucker got away with this. It’s just forgotten, not to mention all the media and celebrities that defended him saying it wasn’t a Nazi salute.
He knew what he was doing. He’s a fucking childish edgelord, did it on purpose knowing he could get away with it. And he was right.
I hope he dies in a Tesla car fire.
Him dying in a Tesla fire, early, would be a glorious and fitting end.
early,
Like, preferably yesterday.
Even the defence is bullshit. The „Roman salute“ was invented for a film and almost immediately adopted by Italian fascists. The Nazis copied it from them.
So, it is a „Roman Salute“. Because that‘s exactly the same thing as a Nazi salute.
Maybe he means that he admires Mussolini more than Hitler?
Imo, there’s no such thing as “pretending to be a Nazi long-term”. If you’re repeatedly okay with saying racist things or forgiving the crimes of Hitler, even as a “joke”, you just are a Nazi.
In my mind, the true injustice is that his wealth is largely speculative. Scrooge McDuck had all that liquid wealth, kinda like Warren Buffett. For this reason he, in my opinion, doesn’t even make a worthy enemy for a proletarian uprising focused on real economic equality.
He still owns pretty much every kind of industry, with his only competitors being two even worse billionaires (Glomgold and Rockerduck).

Liquid metal or no deal.
Molten hot liquid coins.
I accept those terms.
PETER from family guy already tried this, he broke most of his bones, because gold coin is solid pieces of metal.
That was indeed the joke
GOLD COINS DO BEHAVE AS A LIQUID, THEY ARE INFACT TINY PIECES OF SOLID

MinnesotaGoddamAs frequently as I gotta shit and how alcohol runs through me, I have similar anxieties (especially after I went to that coffee place in Tacoma that didn’t have toilets).
I recommend checking how Scrooge McDuck career started. He was absolutely miserable, horrible and alone. I guess as Disney itself grew more popular, and wealthy, it had to change the persona in order to better fit the situation, resolve the discrepancy.
What’s even more ironic IMHO is that… Disney itself is absolutely terrible to. They make money by selling a seemingly endless supply of plastic toys and arguably even worst retrograde ideas, sexism, racism, normality (that they are literally dictating based on their rich) and above all other values, consumerism.
So… yeah, deconstructing all that as an adult is fascinatingly grim!
I recommend reading The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which, while not officially considered cannon, is the origin story that is most accepted by fans. It tells the story of how Scrooge got corrupted by greed, resorting to horrible acts for profit (he actually burned an African village, and blew up a historical monument right in front of Theodore Roosevelt), them turned around at the end of his life when he realises his real wealth is his family.
There is also that one page that subtly confirms he isn’t a virgin.
Walt was also a pretty outspoken antisemite.
