Imagine having unlimited resources and this is what you do with it. Is that the best evil entrance you can do? Pathetic.

I hope this kind of thing is studied in the schools of the future as "Look at how sad and messed up the Capitalist period of the past was like."

Capitalism should be abolished for all the usual reasons, but also because rich people are all deeply, soul-crushingly, cringe and lame

It pisses me off how unimaginative they are despite having the money to do whatever they want. If evil people are going to destroy the world with their greed, can't they at least do it with a bit more style?

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For real. Elon should be the villain the forcibly turns people into cyborgs to save humanity, Bezos should be the Bond esque villain, and Zuckerberg should be the villain that traps people in virtual reality pods

Peter Thiel is the best you get for now when it comes to comic book evil People already refer to him as the antichrist but I guess style is still not a thing there.

And these are the famous billionaires. Can you imagine how vapid and souless the others are in private?

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

I’ll never forget when lab grown diamonds became a thing and those blood diamond lusting Dutch bastards at DeBeers who had spent almost a century of marketing diamonds as pure began to stress how real diamonds are superior to the atomically perfect lab diamonds because of their splendid and multitudinous impurities.

Gauche mid tier rich people like the Trumps? This marketing works on them. This insulting horseshit is sought after. They are painfully banal. Most American guy indeed.

Comparing this to Steve Jobs presentations is like looking into a mirror universe. The near total lack of clapping is eerie.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Steve Jobs at least had some amount of charisma. He also was good at guiding attention and keeping everything pretty minimal and relevant.

The closest thing I've seen to a Jobs style presentation lately is that Chinese robot press conference where they cut the skin off to show it wasn't a person.

Honestly most of the Chinese tech companies are doing the minimalist Jobs style presentations way better than anyone else.a American CEOs have reached full French Aristocracy levels of detached.

And yes, I hate that this shit has got be kinda praising Jobs, the fraudulent huckster he was. Absolutely mind boggling how bad they are at this now.

Hey cmon jack ma had the annual party where he did a Michael Jackson performance

Jack Ma is literally just Chinese Bezos. He's copying everything. A Michael Jackson cover show is still better than whatever this is too...

The quick pan to the people engrossed in their own discussion was chefs-kiss

this looks like when a wrestler nobody liked to begin with makes a "surprise return" at wrestlemania and nobody cheers for them

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago

This looks like a joke that would be in GTA5.

yeonmi-park in ~~evil north korea~~ amerikkka, the ~~glorious leader~~ bald tech ceo organizes events where he gets to come out of the tunnel acting like a super villian yet managing to look painfully nerdy while doing so

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

This would be a bit much in a Verhoeven movie.

Should have had someone else walking for him, what a pleb. visible-disgust

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Yeah if it was MY evil entrance I would have a squad of goons carrying me while shouting HOO HOO HOO

And then they'd throw me in into the crowd and I'd be like "surprise motherfuckers!" (Dort is naturally explosive)

floppy-owl explosion porky-scared

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I dunno, if the crowd is worth that, why not skip the part where the goons are carrying you. critical-support

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Because everything is better with goons, duh. Don't deprive Mugsy and Stabby Joe of their fun.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Well, duh, that part was obvious. You definitely shouldn’t skip the goons part. These damn edits are going to ruin me, though.

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Oh thank god I can tell my goons to stop crying

Jeff Bezos the megachurch pastor

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And my chud family member thinks Bezos is a leftist lmfao

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I remember Kim Stanley Robinson on Chapo going out of his way to defend Bezos buying WaPo because it was better a liberal like him than some Koch style conservative.

How dare you all disrespect the king and his Knights of the Florescent Lightbulbs.

Imagine if he got domed just after he did that pathetic wave

[–] NecroticEuphoria@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

The billionaire class is growing more bold.

We might've thought it was extreme back then, but I remember them always talking about how humble they are and being quieter, holding back more.

As the US descents further into open fascism (from the thinly veiled fascism they had before), you can see the rich bastards making sure you know your place beneath them. Now they put on a show like this.
