i think what annoys me the most about hunter biden shitposting is that he comes across like exactly what he is: a gen X boomer doing performative liberal millennial. who's it working on? only the most narcissistic millennial posters.

I've only seen the highlights. This shtick has got to get old fast, even faster once the pitch gets serious. I saw that post earlier where he was trying to list his "accomplishments" and it just fell so fucking flat. It's still a rich fail son trying to sell the same old shit-- more of the status quo with a change in leadership.

it feels like he just hired a "gen z focused" PR team or something that is willing to occasionally use one or two slightly more "radical" words than the standard dem machine playbook.

Well shit why doesn't he hire me then? I could post like this.

Honestly we really should be setting up grifts like this

Somebody's gonna make some money off this incredibly stupid bullshit, may as well be us

God, yes please. I am so fucking unemployed/broke rn.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I bet it's the same people who still post with the Iron Sheik's account.

Is Newsom still doing the fake Trump tweet thing? That got old fast too, but Democrats are definitely the type to beat a dead horse to the ground.

I have blessedly not heard that name in a month. You broke my streak, dawg. Not cool :(

every ironic "dirtbag leftist" who thinks he's fucking epic

who's it working on? only the most narcissistic millennial posters.

it's also working on the same group of constant online posters who claim to be 'leftist' but also love electioneering lol. "Sir, sir please come on my podcast" omg Mr. Biden is gonna go on the Adam Friedland show??

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

i mean, he's good content, adam friedland makes content. i don't think that means they buy this whole shtick.

If you think for a moment his involvement is more than signing a contract, you’re less cynical that you should be

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

well i don't know if you saw my response to memesaretheory, but yeah i basically think he just hired a pr team.

But to even entertain idea that it’s gen x boomer doing or being something (as opposed to signing contract and let them handle it), implies his involvement is more than paying some twitter guru 50 k for 3 months of shitposting to whitewash him

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

i said the posts come across as what hunter biden currently is: a gen x/boomer guy whose posts are in the language of "performative millennial." this is agnostic on the level of his involvement. you seem to be putting a lot of weight on whether i think "it's him" posting or a guy he pays way too much: i know that i don't know one way or the other, and i don't think it really matters anyway. so what if it was him? would that make it any less bullshit? i don't care about his level of involvement personally because i don't care about anything hunter biden could say on twitter. he's a corrupt fail son making a pass at running for office.
