Truly stupid shit from fascist bootlickers 💩
"Elon's fans erect 50-foot statue outside his company town"
Some choice passages:
On Thursday, a group of men dressed like extras from Les Misérables erected a giant statue outside Elon Musk’s company town of Starbase, Texas: a 50-foot bronze rendition of the Titan Prometheus. Building a godlike figure in honor of the world’s richest man reportedly cost the sculptors, of the French outfit Atelier Missor, $1 million of their own funds.
and
But the statue—which now hoists its torch into the sky and teeters, plinthless, on the ground—is not on Starbase property. Nor is it made of titanium, as its sculptors initially planned. Instead, it sits by the side of a Texas road about ten miles away.
and
Rewarding their months of desperate posting—and real, actual statue construction—Atelier Missor recieved curt recognition from their idol on October 1st.
“Nice work,” Elon posted.
Isn't it fun to live in the Stupidest Timeline of Earth History?
I remember first learning about the Battle of Blair Mountain—long after finishing school, of course, because the incredible history of the U.S. labor movement in the early 20th century isn't taught in our public schools—and wondering how there wasn't at least one decent movie about this particular episode in U.S. history. It's years later, and as far as I know there still isn't one. Can't say I'm surprised 😒
Matewan is worth a watch, if you haven't seen it 👀
While not great and not about the Battle of Blair Mountain specifically, it's a decent film about the Battle of Matewan, a precursor to the Battle of Blair Mountain.
