It would be hilarious if Ye was the current era's Hitler existing the same time as Trump, the current era's Nero.

your idea of funny, is so much different than mine
In the immortal words of Sling Blade, Not funny ha ha.
gimme some adem deep fried taters
First, a spelling mistake: "Hitlerious" is the correct spelling in this situation.
Second, Ye isn't the new Hitler, Musk already is. Ye wants to be, but Musk acts like one.
By your (spelling) logic, he would rather be the new Muskollini
Nice, I did nazi that coming
I see we're getting into the who's who debate in this thread. One could argue that Musk is Goebbels, the propagandist.
Nobody can be Göring because he was known for hiring highly effective people, the lack of which just may be how we survive.
Then there's Himmler who took over the SS and orchestrated the Holocaust, that's who Musk wants to be. I have hope he'll fail like with his companies.
I still see Trump as Hitler because he's the narcissist with the unbelievable charisma who's got the small-minded people behind him, which makes the rest of the fascist agenda possible.
Kanye is just a hanger-on, trying to get attention
Hitler wanted a car for the people, VW delivered. Elon has Tesla.
Hitler got the first rocket ever, to bomb London. The V1 and V2. Elon has SpaceX.
Hitler wanted control over the media, he made Goebbles propaganda minister. Elon bought Twitter.
Hitler wanted ultimate power, he got rid of every opposition there was. Elon does the same with DOGE.
But in the end, no one is exactly the same. Many have resemblances to nazis but they are racist assholes in their own way.
Or rather many Nazis resemble other Nazis but they're all fascist racist assholes in their own way.
Which is why "who's who" or "who does what" will sort itself out differently, with overlaps.
Trump wants ultimate power, control of the media, and all the weapons. He sees the world as his personal real estate to exploit for his own profit. He thinks of Elon as his attack dog, one he can fire if he's a liability or threat. He may be wrong about that part.
Their mouths may be filled with empty words about improving the country but each is only interested in benefit to himself. They're cunning and ruthless rather than intelligent or wise. And racist assholes to the core. Edit to add sexist. And ableist.
stephen miller is goebbels.
And the same era as Musk, the current era's Caligula.
when do honorary degrees ever matter
the reference is to adolph hitler being kicked out of art school
I get it, just wanted to voice my opinion ;)
When the university wants to brag
~~Ronald Reagan?~~ Donald Trump? The actor!?
Honestly, if a Black US man convinced the racist Nazis in his country to go about killing in his name, that would absolutely impressive. They'd have to turn off even more parts of their brain to be controlled by a black man and at the same time hate and love him.
A similar case is when a racist meets a black cop or soldier. They call them one of the good ones.
One of fave scenes in Men with Guns is when they say "all you have to make a native think he is white is give him a gun and a uniform"
No it wouldn't, he would be the butt of that joke, not controlling anyone
who would he even genocide? could be anyone
Good taste
Spit my drink
Good god, how are people buying the shite he sells?
Shit loves company
What does Mos Def think of all this?
Where is Ja?!
This post is like 2 years old. How is it this grainy???
Some Lemmy instances have very low file size cutoffs for image uploads. I feel that the natural loss of pixels that happens everywhere over time is acellerated here.
I'm more inclined to think it was shared, reshared, and reencoded to hell and back.
Also,
there's one potato that all social media sites pass around to filter uploads
If you stick two ends of a wire in a potato it can process jpeg.
what the hell is an honorary degree
Degree given to someone who wasn't a student. These are given all the time to singers, actors, writers etc.
Denzel Washington, for example, has honorary doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.
Jeremy Clarkson got an honorary doctorate in engineering from Brunel University. He can barely explain how a differential works.
It's the most honorary degree... in the world!
It's a degree awarded by institutions to outstanding figures for achievements in a certain field.
Am I not getting something? Why is it a bad idea or do I need the /s, lol
kanye's personal hero, hitler, got kicked out of art school
Thank you! Insert "duh" meme.
Yeah I didn’t make the connection until I read a comment reply. Dropping out of art school is a bit different than have an honorary degree rescinded.
