Yes! I donated on Saturday morning after the Friday outrage in the oval office. Will continue to do so every month until this insanity ends with Ukraine being victorious!
Amen! Chicago had a well attended protest yesterday in support of Ukraine. If we are to change anything, we must go out en masse. Often. It is up to us, not our officials.
Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, poor behavioral controls, and deficient emotional responses. People with psychopathy may also display traits like boldness, disinhibition, and egocentric.
Thank you for the post. In addition to psychopathy, musk definitely displays untreated mania. His wild chainsaw display along with obvious poor impulse control and obsessive need for instant gratification are evident of untreated mania. Certainly there are other red flags, but letting this untreated wrecking ball run rampant throughout the government? Well, that leads to a whole other situation involving an unredeemable orange lunatic living in an alternate reality. Psychiatric experts could have a field day unraveling this mess.
Nathalie, I can see you are a subscriber because on your forum icon you have a little + sign on the lower right of your icon, so Props for subscribing.
Also you have a forum icon, I LOVE seeing forum icons instead of the default colored circle. I wish everyone would add an icon to their substack profile.
For those who have not yet added an icon to their profile, just Google: Profile Icons there are millions of them all free.
Lastly, you can edit comments. Look at your icon, then draw your eyes to the right, see your forum name, on the same line keep drawing your eyes to the right and way over on the right are three little dots ... Click on the ... and you will see a button to edit your comments.
Musk also said about the so called "ponzi scheme " That Americans are living too long. His meaning is we have to pay out too much to those who have worked for it and earned it their entire lives. Maybe he can help his cause by not living too long and shoot himself.
When I quickly scanned your comment and I saw you abbreviate Elon Musk to EM, My brain saw it as BM. And then I thought that is actually right, Elon Musk IS a BM.
And “empathy destroyed civilization”? I’m sorry, anyone who can say that is NOT THAT SMART. He may have mad tech/engineering/whatever SKILLS, but as a human being he is an imbecile
Elon is NOT an engineer. He has Physics and Economics degrees from Pennsylvania, but not engineering. Physics is one or two classes in engineering. Listening to him talk makes me wonder if those degrees were real or paid for. He talks like a moron.
That man Elon has no idea what physics is. When he takes PhD level courses in Condensed Matter or Quantum Field Theory, then he can talk with the physics community. I, a physicist, can say he’s no physicist.
I don't know how widely known this is but there are Ultra-right Christian churches that are currently preaching against empathy, talking about the sin of empathy, etc. Joe Rigney has an essay called "The Enticing Sin of Empathy" which expresses these abhorrent views. They are un-Christian, a dangerous perversion of the faith which allows its adherents to dehumanize people arrogantly. These same people also talk against "weaponized compassion." It's all an excuse for them to feel self-righteous while hating people and ignoring suffering. Disgusting.
Ultra-right Christians are fundamentalists and they are cruel, intolerant thugs. They twist the Christian faith to align with their need for power and control of the masses exactly like the Taliban. I’m Agnostic and think the only good outcome of organized religion is when parishioners come together to help others less fortunate. Absent that, I would NEVER want to be governed or controlled based on antiquated view of civilization.
Oh my- well the Bible did speak on the coming of false prophet and how many would be deceived. 💔 it’s sad- real believers know that justice is always served.
It's like someone read the Gospels and then asked himself, "how can I make something that's the complete opposite of this?" Answer: The Prosperity "gospel" and empathy as a sin.
I never listen to podcasts, prefer reading. So it took a while before I understood who Joe Rogan is. When I did, I immediately canceled my subscription on Spotify.
Musk is in his FIFTIES. There’s something defective about all of the men in Trump’s circle and his followers. They aren’t maturing properly. They aren’t “men”. They’re stupid, childish, cruel rejects. But I’m also just as disgusted with our military. There’s a literal coup happening and apparently EVERY single general, and EVERY branch of the military is just going to let that happen, constitution be damned? And I keep hearing how tough it is on the GOP senators and congresspeople. How scared they are. I imagine MLK knew what he was risking, and Medger Evers, and Ghandi, and any number of heroes from around the world. But you know what? They did what was right because they had integrity and courage. America is a country of cowards and I am deeply ashamed.
Elon Musk was NOT elected. DOGE is a department illegally created by Donald Trump without congressional approval. When any unelected individual is given unlimited access to the financial and organizational affairs of a nation without justification or oversight, that is undoubtedly a coup. Anyone who believes otherwise is either naive or stupid.
Elon Musk has been allocated powers by a democratically elected president, and that is perfectly allowed WITHIN the system. DOGE was created via an executive order, which is a viable way of creating an advisory board so long as it does not fully function as an executive department. The president, who is democratically elected, can delegate access to information how he wishes under the current legal framework - that is definitionally the opposite of a coup. So, in summary, you are either lexically or legally inept, both, or just acting in severe bad faith. Fear mongering and attempting to use serious accusations in a smear campaign does nothing but dilute the true horror and experience of a real coup.
FFS where did you take civics? Cuba? A President has one task, "to faithfully execute the laws of the United States." He does not get to bring in a self dealing ketamine addled illegal immigrant to break laws for him. Congress has the power of the purse, they LEGISLATE government departments in and out of existence. When they DEMOCRTICALLY VOTE for funds, it passes the Senate, and is signed by a President, it becomes law and can only be undone the same way. For F Sake, at least watch School House Rock, or did your 3 sister Mom's not let you watch School House Rock when they home schooled you?
When they talk about Project 2025, people freak out because it is blatantly undemocratic, the coup leader denies it and berates it, then when elected, the author is the head of Office of Management and Budget. A " Manchurian Candidate," an enemy from within.
They are so pathetic, Elon has trouble articulating anything remotely intelligent…
And the other meathead, his sidekick just agrees with everything no matter how stupid it sounds. At the root of the problem lies a bigger more dangerous concern , that these guys have become billionaires , that folks actually listen to them, that is really
disturbing and explains how we got here..
Keep up the good work and the sanity…, it cannot be easy reporting the insanity going on..And more importantly for reporting the facts and the truth !!!
Empathy for fellow human beings is a strength not a weakness. Rogan and musk lacking that shows that they have forgotten the fact that they to are human beings.
Oh man looks like President Musk and Joe Rogan's ego's are broken man they're so fragile alongside their weak audience which they're males who are morons who have insecurities.
Yet as a retired Psych RN I can tell you these men with their fragile undeveloped egos will be needing & expecting MORE compassion and empathy than the avg person in their time of need. Most likely never had it when they actually should have as children (and that does NOT excuse this bs in ANY WAY).
I support you all the way. I appreciate all the hard work you do. You should be proud of the work you do. If haters are trying to destroy you, then you're on the right track.. I pray for you MTN, your families and for your safety. God bless you!
Totally agree. Recently a magacult "dear friend 🧡 and regular massage patient of mine since 2020, told me she is DONE and I am NOT WELCOME AT HER CHURCH! Wow. Super Christian Maga Haters who love FelonDon.
Spot on as usual Ben! The inverse relationship of your rising and their downfall shall continue until they are nothing but dust. Plus it just makes me happy as hell that you make them so miserable! 🥰
Musk supposedly has Asperger's syndrome, so he probably is on some kind of drug. Nothing against autism, but if you look at the characteristics of Asperger's, I really don't think he has it. He's just a straight up dick.
Good Morning Ben,
As members of the Meidas Mighty, my wife and I gave a donation to RAZOM
FOR UKRAINE. To hell with the Republicans who are siding with Russia! We have the utmost respect for Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy.
I researched the Website to make sure it was legitimate.
Also I would like to give a shout out to Robert Reich for the website.
I used to think I would suffer from brain fog for the rest of my life..."𝐛𝐮𝐭" this changed everything.... https://t.co/XPe0yuFjZQ
I have been wanting to donate to Ukraine. Thank you for the information.
https://u24.gov.ua/ is another good place. This one is an official Ukranian government site.
Yes, we donated on this one. I hope they are overwhelmed with donations!
Yes, my Lithuanian family has verified that this is a good site to support.
We are donating monthly. Shame on the Republicans and their leadership for betraying Ukraine
I just donated there
Me to.
Yes! I donated on Saturday morning after the Friday outrage in the oval office. Will continue to do so every month until this insanity ends with Ukraine being victorious!
You beat me to it 😊
!me too!!
Amen! Chicago had a well attended protest yesterday in support of Ukraine. If we are to change anything, we must go out en masse. Often. It is up to us, not our officials.
They have also built their own fund-raising website: https://u24.gov.ua/
I have already made a donation there. It is easy peasy and legit.
Here's a link to RAZOM: https://www.razomforukraine.org//
I listed this and 3 other ways to donate to Ukraine in my most recent newsletter: ""Josh Shapiro Fought Trump—And Won." + More good News. + Some Humor." In case you want to check it out, here's a link: https://open.substack.com/pub/thomasdillhunt/p/josh-shapiro-fought-trumpand-won?r=1lwl10&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Thank you for this info...I just donated as well
Me too!
$$🇺🇸🇺🇸
The whole discussion on social security being a ponzi scheme was so pathetic from EM. He’s actually lost his god damn mind. Rogan is a sellout.
Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, poor behavioral controls, and deficient emotional responses. People with psychopathy may also display traits like boldness, disinhibition, and egocentric.
If it walks like a duck...
I read if it walks like a dick...lol
In this case that would have been right.😂😂😂

It must be contagious 🤒 because all the Republicans have it too 🤕.
*egocentrism
He is not an American. Ride him on a rail out of here back to South Africa, and stash Peter Thiel in the caboose, too.
The only immigrants MAGA likes; white Nazis from South Africa.
And take Thiel's boy toy, JD Vance with him.
JD couch huncher is going to get thrown under the bus sooner or later.
Musk also said about the so called "ponzi scheme " That Americans are living too long. His meaning is we have to pay out too much to those who have worked for it and earned it their entire lives. Maybe he can help his cause by not living too long and shoot himself.
Seems to me that the stock market could be perceived as a Ponzi scheme.🤷🏾
Most definitely bitcoin.
Agreed! He craves attention, that's one way to get it! He's so alpha then show us talk to Congress! Elon you.pathetic ball less joke!!
He said he’s gonna go on the daily show with Jon Stewart. If he doesn’t back out of his word here, that’s gonna be a bloodbath for musk
When I quickly scanned your comment and I saw you abbreviate Elon Musk to EM, My brain saw it as BM. And then I thought that is actually right, Elon Musk IS a BM.
He not like us!!!
😂😂😂😂
Weaponized empathy? They should’ve put that on Jesus’ cross.
And “empathy destroyed civilization”? I’m sorry, anyone who can say that is NOT THAT SMART. He may have mad tech/engineering/whatever SKILLS, but as a human being he is an imbecile
Elon is NOT an engineer. He has Physics and Economics degrees from Pennsylvania, but not engineering. Physics is one or two classes in engineering. Listening to him talk makes me wonder if those degrees were real or paid for. He talks like a moron.
He steals ideas and the work from employees under him. He has always been a jerk. He propped himself up and the world bought it.
Also, they are not advanced degrees. B.A and B.S.
Mostly, BS
Elon is not smart. He hires smart people. IE 5 kid hackers.
Ya, IDK what his actual education is, and also wonder what is real.
That man Elon has no idea what physics is. When he takes PhD level courses in Condensed Matter or Quantum Field Theory, then he can talk with the physics community. I, a physicist, can say he’s no physicist.
He does not have those skills. Just money.
It’s a catch phrase for his idiot followers who think saying it makes them sound smart.
Most of whom do not even know the meaning of either word yet have the balls to call themselves “Christians” as well.
Guess what ? You know that whole physics thing - look what came out in the court case back in 2009.
No physics degree!

Well said! If somebody calls himself Christian, empathy should be the first attribute, otherwise it is a cult. Very sad.
My thoughts as well. (Inquisition anyone?)
They are FAKE CHRISTIANS who follows a false prophet, who can't give them salvation or eternal life.
Oh my- well the Bible did speak on the coming of false prophet and how many would be deceived. 💔 it’s sad- real believers know that justice is always served.
Sadly, we have the Anti Christ in our midst and we are watching it all play out….
It's like someone read the Gospels and then asked himself, "how can I make something that's the complete opposite of this?" Answer: The Prosperity "gospel" and empathy as a sin.
It sounds Ayn Randyian from what I remember of reading her books yrs ago
Oh my god, that is disgusting.
Good one!
😒
Musk and Rogan should always be against us, we stand for something different than frat boy fascism
I never listen to podcasts, prefer reading. So it took a while before I understood who Joe Rogan is. When I did, I immediately canceled my subscription on Spotify.
I don't like nazis.
Musk is in his FIFTIES. There’s something defective about all of the men in Trump’s circle and his followers. They aren’t maturing properly. They aren’t “men”.

I agree concerning our military. The "sane" brass have to be freaking out. 🤞
sorry, how can a lawful regime change - democratically elected in a democratic republic - be a "literal coup"?
Elon Musk was NOT elected. DOGE is a department illegally created by Donald Trump without congressional approval. When any unelected individual is given unlimited access to the financial and organizational affairs of a nation without justification or oversight, that is undoubtedly a coup. Anyone who believes otherwise is either naive or stupid.

So, in summary, you are either lexically or legally inept, both, or just acting in severe bad faith. Fear mongering and attempting to use serious accusations in a smear campaign does nothing but dilute the true horror and experience of a real coup.
Good grief!
Appears above is seriously in over his head in this cult!
FFS where did you take civics? Cuba? A President has one task, "to faithfully execute the laws of the United States." He does not get to bring in a self dealing ketamine addled illegal immigrant to break laws for him. Congress has the power of the purse, they LEGISLATE government departments in and out of existence. When they DEMOCRTICALLY VOTE for funds, it passes the Senate, and is signed by a President, it becomes law and can only be undone the same way.

Dick Traitor Trump does what he does best…
Screwing people over 🤷🏻♀️
Keep up the great work and bringing reality to the forefront.
They are so pathetic, Elon has trouble articulating anything remotely intelligent…
And the other meathead, his sidekick just agrees with everything no matter how stupid it sounds. At the root of the problem lies a bigger more dangerous concern , that these guys have become billionaires , that folks actually listen to them, that is really
disturbing and explains how we got here..
Keep up the good work and the sanity…, it cannot be easy reporting the insanity going on..And more importantly for reporting the facts and the truth !!!
Empathy for fellow human beings is a strength not a weakness. Rogan and musk lacking that shows that they have forgotten the fact that they to are human beings.
Even EM’s brother mentioned that he lacked that empathy gene in an interview. He has little social awareness. That’s dangerous.

Are they though?
They represent the worst of humanity
Oh man looks like President Musk and Joe Rogan's ego's are broken man they're so fragile alongside their weak audience which they're males who are morons who have insecurities.
It's a biological problem
Yet as a retired Psych RN I can tell you these men with their fragile undeveloped egos will be needing & expecting MORE compassion and empathy than the avg person in their time of need. Most likely never had it when they actually should have as children (and that does NOT excuse this bs in ANY WAY).
Snowflakes.
I don’t even use Spotify but I followed you on both. Go Meidas Go!
I support you all the way. I appreciate all the hard work you do. You should be proud of the work you do. If haters are trying to destroy you, then you're on the right track.. I pray for you MTN, your families and for your safety. God bless you!

Sounds like somewhere I wouldn’t wanna be associated with anyway
Can't let billionaires think that they can buy our votes or our views or what we listen to
They’ve already bought the Republican lawmakers.

Spot on as usual Ben! The inverse relationship of your rising and their downfall shall continue until they are nothing but dust. Plus it just makes me happy as hell that you make them so miserable! 🥰
They started out miserable! At least one is tangled in Ketamine!
I’ve been saying… EM has a ketamine issue.. strung out

Well this just makes me want to make all five of my kids follow your podcast. I can’t stand those absolute losers.
