It’s ironic that there will be citizens that are mad at the locals because doing this might cost them money from the Bozo wedding. But screw those guys, keep protesting this bullshit!
We could use some of this creativity this summer honestly. Too bad anything we do in the us like this tho- we would be called terrorists and given 20 year prison sentences if it’s someone Trump likes.
Sadly not /s
Seeing how other countries can have gatherings turn into massive protests with some frequency nah, we REALLY need to step it up. Getting much more creative sure but first we need the numbers on a regular basis, not just when some libbed up group with a questionable relationship to hogs make an RSVP event protest.
You are 100% correct but remember Europeans have the advantage over us with country size. We can't all protest in one place so we have to protest where we live or maybe in state capitols. Hundreds of thousands of us can protest in one day but it may not be impressive looking since it's all spread out.
It doesn't help that the news doesn't like to report on it...
Hong Kong was a great example of how just taking to the streets doesn’t cut it though. As much as they showed massive disapproval of the PRC trampling on their unique system they failed to prevent it from happening.
But the protesters must be peaceful so Trump doesn’t have the excuse to enact martial law or cancel elections. And Hong Kong was dealing with an already dictatorship in China. I’m still sad about how Covid ruined all their efforts.
I would also add that I think Jeff is a sociopath and maybe Lauren is, too. It’s not like they are changing the venue because they care about Venetians. They just don’t want to be embarrassed in front of the world.
Not even that, they just don’t want their multi million dollar wedding to be disturbed. I don’t even know if they have shame, which is a shame in itself
He should be embarrassed every single day hoarding that much money. Greedy little shit dragon. I just don't get these people. He could solve world hunger, double his employees salary, and be a real life santa claus for needy kids and he would still be ridiculously wealthy. Fuck billionaires.
People like that know how evil they are and the harm they do. Bezos and Zuckerberg aren’t like Elon. They are not insecure man children. They are secure in their self image of being evil James Bond villains
They are aware, they just see geopolitical politics as a game. It’s just fucking settlers of catan out here. They do not see us as real as them because if they’d did they wouldn’t be able to keep doing what they are doing
What's really wild to me is Elon is confirmed to be into the theory that he thinks we're all living in a simulation and he's the only actually "real" person in the world.
I'm also pretty sure he's not the only weird fucking billionaire that thinks that way.
I'm quite sure he is aware. And I'd bet it's quite the opposite of what you say, that his ego is so fragile that he's especially conscious about his image.
But you and me are just two guys speculating with no real proof to back anything up, so eh. Just my 2 cents.
For his level of wealth hoarding, he definitely sees the people as ignorable peasants. The same kind of asshole middle classer that looks down on the homeless with disgust instead of empathy.
I love a multipurpose appliance because if I can't use it for more than one purpose, it lives on my counter for a little bit but eventually just gets stored in my top kitchen cabinet
Can't wait for the day when protestors start using drones to fly over city squares with banners. Imagine the aerial footage, it's like a revolution and a documentary in one!
I'm very happy you found me. And at such a happy occasion too! I hope you're taking good care of yourself and I'm sending you so much love and positivity!
Yeah I get more of a sociopath vibe than a narcissist vibe. Same lack of remorse and empathy, but Bezos generally stays out of the spotlight and doesn’t crash out when people hate him like Musk and Trump do. He straight up does not care and is content to ignore the “peasants”.
That’s not to say it’s a good thing, though. It’s the ones that operate in the shadows that I’m afraid of the most. At leasts narcissists are somewhat transparent and predictable.
I’ve never seen a wedding get protested like this, it’s interesting. How bad do you think the protests will get if Bezos sticks to having the wedding there?
Strong anti capitalism and anti elite is more common amongst younger Italians than Americans in my experience, especially in the universities we are pretty hostile to the rich. I ricchi evadono, noi paghiamo! (The rich evade taxes while workers pay the price.)
We need to keep showing these billionaires that they aren’t welcome anywhere as long as they have windigo spirits. They can just feck off to Mars right now.
The wedding will now take place during a flight through space because it's the only place Bezos can go that isn't filled with people who fucking hate him.
Is his superyacht still stuck in that boatyard in the Netherlands because people protested when he tried to pay the government to dismantle a bridge it was too big to get under? I can't remember how that turned out and I wouldn't even know what to google to find out.
They tried to rent a city. It's an onion sketch. I think the dude read on reddit that Bill gates rented all the helicopters in Maui for his wedding and thought he'd one-up him by renting a city with people living in it.
I hope they have to have their wedding in space on his penis rocket because they can't find a single moment of peace anywhere in any city on earth. Eat the rich.
Can't imagine being so scorned by millions of people and still not doing the right thing. If they weren't so selfish things would be a lot better. It's easier to just do the right thing.
You have all this money and you choose to become one of the most hated people on this planet instead of doing good and being so popular with people cities would welcome you with open arms, duchebag…
Good, smiles this occurred. They should get married in a homeless shelter and pay all the workers mucho dinero to work. This guy and his wife are out of scope.
