      Villains rarely see themselves as villains. The worst of them strongly believe that they are the good guys.

    Nothing this moron stands for is a rebellion against anything (except for maybe against human decency and empathy).

    I knew the resistance would win in the end for all of those. Real life feels more like Game of Thrones and we aren’t even the main characters.

    Hunger Games: the resistance I guess

    Star Wars: mostly the empire

    Matrix: the answer is love, not a side, did you even watch it

    Divergent: never heard of it

    V: Guy Fucks wasn’t the good guy

    I’m only 1/5 on my resistance score

    The best scene in Star Wars was when Darth Vader was curled up at the Emperor’s feet crying and whining that he was the cool rebel really.

    I hope he never has an unstressed day for the rest of his life. And I hope it’s a short life. Fascist fuck.

    absolutely batshit crazy levels of delusion.

    does the richest man in the world think… the “resistance” is… tech billionaires?

    does he believe the group recklessly wielding sweeping executive powers, directing raids of homes and schools, imprisoning, threatening, black bag kidnapping dissenters off the street, and deploying the military to the borders… that they are the resistance?!

    i know playing the victim is a standard gaslighting fascist rhetorical maneuver… but if he really thinks of himself as a “rebel” outsider. god help us. this man’s continued metabolic equilibrium puts us all in grave danger.

      No one believes themselves to be villains. Hollywood has ruined everybody with their black and white delineations between “good” and “evil”. And of course, we as a whole have eaten up the lie; Musk claiming to be the resistance - in my eyes - proves this.

      To be fair, one of the points of the Hunger Games was that the rebels were just as bad as the Capitol. Maybe that’s the resistance he identifies with.
