Fuck he escaped outside of his echo chamber!

Unable to talk about your simulacra mental conditioning, can you? Only able to react within the 5,000 Cambridge Analytica meme patterns that lead your mind to mock and mockery, Nazi symbols of Elon Musk memes.

“The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited

The current swasticar overtaken by the former swasticar

I see you are only attracted to mimicking Elon Musk symbolism in one-line X media platform fashion when you approach symbolic systems. Everything is entertainment mockery to you: VW hippy busses are pro-Nazi symbols, LOL LOL LOL. The echo-chamber is inside your brain, only able to repeat what horrible leaders have conditioned your mind to parrot. In this case, Adolph Hitler values and Elon Musk values into Twitter-length X simulacra response on Lemmy media platform in April 2025.

“That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together” - Hannah Arendt

You can take the Twitter users off of Twitter, but you can’t take the Twitter out of their brain. 8 whole words of parroting symbols.

“For when I speak of the banality of evil, I do so only on the strictly factual level, pointing to a phenomenon which stared one in the face at the trial. Eichmann was not Iago and not Macbeth, and nothing would have been farther from his mind than to determine with Richard III ‘to prove a villain.’ Except for an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement, he had no motives at all… He merely, to put the matter colloquially, never realized what he was doing… It was sheer thoughtlessness—something by no means identical with stupidity—that predisposed him to become one of the greatest criminals of that period. And if this is ‘banal’ and even funny, if with the best will in the world one cannot extract any diabolical or demonic profundity from Eichmann, this is still far from calling it commonplace… That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together which, perhaps, are inherent in man—that was, in fact, the lesson one could learn in Jerusalem.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
