    The last line of, “We need to get revenge on the nerds” is her embodying the exact same cringe she talks about.

    Many valid points within to be sure, but elon and zuckerberg aren’t “nerds” they are preppy nepo baby wannabe “cool guy” fucks. She’s tone deaf to not even see that the backlash from actual gamers against elon that she mentions is the point - those are the actual nerds. The ones who scoff at the obviously amateurish way elon tries to use maps in his live stream. That’s a nerd, a nerd is actually competent/proficient at something. elon and mark’s parents did horrible things with their own lives to gather the wealth that then allowed elon and mark to have “jobs” as professional “decision makers” for circles of sycophants - people that just that bring them yes or no questions through fancy PowerPoint presentations built to entertain them during fancy lunches - they don’t actually do anything well.

    Nerds are fine. They have their focus in life and they live that without regret or apology. These fucks aren’t nerds. They are uncomfortable in their skin, they lack real value or meaningful relationships and they ooze that defeat and desperation.

    Again, worthwhile premise, but this writer fucking sucks. She lousy sounds like the superficial idiot in the 80’s movie who hates anything outside of her personal taste. She’s opportunistically just using this moment to express that existing prejudice. But again, with full clarity, the headline is correct, she just falls on her face at the dismount.
