For those of us who have spent our lives trying to dismantle this endlessly destructive paradigm of patriarchy, it has become increasingly clear in recent months that something more terrifying is afoot.

The wheels are off the cart. We are in the midst of a chaotic, demented acceleration of the most violent and cruel aspects of this system which has evolved into what I am calling Psychopatriarchy.

Psychopatriarchy is a reaction, a backlash against the progress we have made on all fronts: women’s rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, workers rights, trans rights etc.

It has birthed an authoritarian fascist reality, poisoning our social and psychological environment with terrorizing violence, cruelty and precarity. It has consolidated the billionaire class who are driven by the mindset summed up in the slogan “move fast and break things.” Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.

    Genuinely. Musk used to brag about how he basically had enough money to cure world hunger.

    Imagine how revered and well remembered he could have been if he …tried?

    Nope. Decided nazis are rad and endlessly seeks their approval.

    He might actually be the biggest loser in human history.

      That title is already taken by Murica’s Orange Shitler, D.J. Trump. But, yeah, they’re all breaking every record for cuntiness in general.

        Respectfully disagree. Trump is as bad as the next asshole, and probably has worse crimes to his name. But he is less pathetic.

        Hate him all we want, he isn’t sucking up to Nazis. He is one. He has status within a group.

        Musk begs for status from the worst group.

        Musk of far, far bigger a loser. Trump is the president. For all intents and purposes, he won.

        Trump had sex on epstein Island (probably).

        Trump got a literal concubine.

        Musk? Musk begged to go to epstein Island.

        Neither deserve respect but one is more pathetic than the other. It’s not trump.

      He may have realized that attempting to solve real problems with fake money would not only fail, but expose the entire system as a sham. Or, just doesn’t care, hard to say.

          Lol. Sarcasm is an art, I’ll try harder next time.

          (Not that I care about fake Internet tags, but I despise Elon)

            The trick is to err on the side of caution. There are some really shitty and/or stupid people out there. It’s sometimes hard to sound juuuust enough like them to be funny but not mistaken for one.
