I used to know a girl in elementary school and she was some kind of fundamentalist Christian (half the school was). She had a habit of saying she "loved everyone" because she believed Christ's main command is to love everyone without question. And other kids would take advantage of that by saying, "Even Hitler?" She'd always nod and say "Yes, even Hitler. I love him." Or they'd say Jeffrey Dahmer, or whoever else. I remember it was OJ Simpson for a while because he was often in the news. Then she'd be roundly mocked for saying she loves Hitler or whoever. She was overall just a dumb kid who didn't understand what she was saying, but enjoyed the attention from the other children and seemed to like making everyone laugh. She eventually grew out of the habit.

This feels like the same thing except it's a grown woman who does a breathy falsetto voice into a delay vst and also she had kids with Elon Musk, notorious open racist

I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture.

What do u say abt the African slave trade of Slavs? It's racist to pretend whites have always been in power.

‘people call me nazi because I support white pride, imperialism, and great replacement theory on a bigoted platform run by a white supremacist who I’ve made multiple white babies with to continue our superiour white genes’

[-] Tommasi@hexbear.net 58 points 7 months ago

So many questions about this tweet. What is white culture? Why would you think about these random historical persons every day? How do you "invent" an empire? Why is that something you think fondly of someone for?

I have never met anyone who actually listens to her music. literally another made up celebrity.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago

The old sub was how I found out about her and I was surprised so many people in there were fans.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago

The chapo tabletop parody was my first intro to her and and legit thought she was a made up chapo bit for like a week or two.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

I did, and many friends did, circa like 2015, she was pretty popular with techno-hipster warehouse living noise band starting types back then, which I was culturally adjacent too as a guy into arty hardcore.

I don't really like her music but Visions and Art Angels were legitimately pretty big in certain scenes when they came out. Also /mu/ used to love her

From an early age, Irulan's father Shaddam IV expected her to become Empress after his death, or at the very least to wed a political ally and retain House Corrino's hegemony over the Imperium. The Bene Gesserit also saw potential in the girl, and gave her sufficient training so that they could exploit her at some point in the future, were she to find herself in a position of power.

However, despite the expectations of others, Irulan remained only an average Bene Gesserit adept, and retained a strong sense of personal identity and ambition: qualities that caused tension between herself and her equally strong-minded father. Lady Jessica mused that Irulan was too proud to progress very far with her Bene Gesserit training.

What I love about that photo shoot is she’s clearly just walking down the sidewalk in a subdivision in Saratoga or something. The setting is so bizarre for what is already a weird setup.

I just assume she is clueless and doesn't understand anything, based on past behaviors, like the whole reading Marx at a bus stop thing.

Then again there was an episode of QAnon Anonymous that mentioned her and Musk and it's possible he radicalized her

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 45 points 7 months ago

She's like Joe Rogan. She's radicalized by the last person she had a conversation with.

I feel that assuming she's just ignorant is generous given the resources she has access to. I'm not directing this at you, but I wonder how much ignorance matters when the individual in question can cause or has caused material harm.

I didn’t even know what this thing was until people started talking about Elmo max grams this that

Why did people think she was anything but a weirdo nazi freak I don’t understand

[-] axont@hexbear.net 53 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

she used to have "anti-imperialist" in her twitter bio and used to be vocally pro-trans back in like 2012 when she was semi popular among techno warehouse types, and that was still kinda rare to hear back then. So people latched onto her

her getting with Musk was very, very surreal at the time. Imagine if Jeff Bezos started dating the girl from 100gecs. That's what it felt like.

[-] heyoheyoheyyyy@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

thanks for the background info. I’m old enough to have transitioned before 2012 so I don’t dispute our lack of advocates. I just genuinely had never heard of her prior to Elmo drama

[-] axont@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

that's understandable, she wasn't well known outside of electronic music circles, and she was probably most well known because of her voice anyway. She does a very ethereal lispy high pitched child-like voice when she sings and it's recognizable as her. She notoriously doesn't do live concerts very often, so she ended up more of a twitter/instagram celebrity for a while

All cultures participated in horrible things and the industrialization of slavery is arguably the worst of all, and arguably the cause of decline of all empires before this one. That doesn't mean there are great humans among us in the past and now. What do u say abt the African slave trade of Slavs? It's racist to pretend whites have always been in power. All humans have contributed to our worst and best
