Does it even matter what the context of the open mic is much beyond a certain point or even the type of open mic? Are people going to complain about hearing a spicy email between singer-songwriter guitarists or between edgey standup sets?? No, it is guranteed quality content no matter what you are really just the messenger except you still get the experience of performing in front of people. Win-win for would-be artists and performers! Just keep it the right length, read the room and all.
If they could see the harm they do to anyone, they wouldn’t be the beligerantly rich pieces of shit they are. The sooner the world realizes the “winners” of capitalism are the worst trash of humanity, the sooner we can start to clean up this shit show.
I feel like never before in history has it been more evident that the super elite are not having fulfilling lives themselves.
For instance: recently, Elon was slandered by some writer saying he can’t appreciate art + movies properly, and since then he’s made a big show of commenting on all the “movies” pages on X-twitter.
So performative. Like Donald Trump’s behaviour rubbed off on him.
As for the others - Bezos and Zuckerberg and more - well, they just seem to be having an awkward time whenever in the public eye. They struggle to find uses for their time and money and end up sending pop stars to the moon and such.
It’s like you said - can you imagine how unfulfilled and disconnected from real life people like Jeffrey Epstein were, to decide their effort was best spent organising an industry of kidnapping, blackmail + sexual slavery? Either the man was a demon, or he was so profoundly impotent - emotionally and conventionally - that he only got his kicks from abusing minors.
It’s definitely a warning sign to anyone still playing the capitalist game.
What makes a demon? If it’s their actions, I’d say they are quite literally demons, regardless of how they feel.
