it is never too late to exploit other human beings, you just need Capital and the blessing of the bourgeois State
In Gein’s case, you don’t even need the capital or blessing!
Look at the president, mid 90’s, barely able to make bowels with mouth noises, but he’s expertly dismantling the country. Not slowly like the Dumas Republican party. He’s been doing this in days! While we go to work our asses off every day, this old fuck goes to work in destroying our economy and our children’s futures!
All to show you, it’s never too late.
Step 1: … be born white
Step 2: … be born male
I was only able to achieve step 2. Too bad for me I guess.
I guarantee you don’t need either quality to reach Ed Gein levels of notoriety. All it takes is effort.
And a dedication to folk art.
Where do you live again? … you know … so we can ‘talk’.
Hey, Ed didn’t care if you lived or not. You want to achieve what he achieved, you better get a shovel and head to the nearest cemetery.
You should do inspirational talks on stage.
I am way too busy with my folk art.
But imagine what you could accomplish!
Ooh, is this demotivational adjacent? That’s old school material!

You forgot to say LFTL but thanks!
It’s crazy to me that Ray Kroc was already in the unedited version of this image… Dude Edison’d the fuck outta McDonald’s.
I’d consider it worse than Edison. Edison’s real contribution to technology was the creation of a company R&D lab geared towards new products. He would invest in the development of the product before it became big.
Kroc took over an already functioning business.
…dude Musk’d the fuck outta McDonald’s?
Ray Kroc started buying up the land the franchises were being built on and became McDonald’s landlord. Then he was able to eventually force McDonald brothers into a deal because he could have shut down the businesses by not renewing their leases on the land.
I was really disappointed by the film about him with Michael Keaton. Even though they couldn’t completely hide who he really was, it was a hagiography.
I think it did a great job selling that he was a total sleazeball
I guess I felt like it showed he was still doing a great thing despite how he was as a person.
That’s exactly how you start a fight with Colorado.
“Me eat dead people!”
Buzzfeed title: Who shortened the most human lives, the answer may shock you.
Ed Gein only killed two people officially! The least evil of the four!
Unironically true.
Lotta people showing a lack of serial killer knowledge
Gross. I thought this was gonna be about authors, artists, or inventors.
Are you saying Ed Gein wasn’t an artist? And he invented the woman suit!
Ok I had to look up Ed Gein and it all makes sense now. 😂 Good one!
The joke went so far over people’s heads it struck a passing 737.
What’s shit about this post?
I mean the whole „you’re only successful if people talk about you” thing is shit, but is that ot?
I think it’s pretty shitty how few human corpses Ray Kroc skinned on his own. Ed Gein did all the corpse-skinning himself. Rich man Kroc got the butler to skin human corpses when he wanted human skin.
Edit: Look, Kroc fans, I know you’re mad, but the fact is that Ed Gein was a working man who did a working man’s job flaying a corpse. Ray Kroc would never get his own hands dirty digging up a grave and you know it.
And while we’re at it, did you ever see Sam Walton’s “woman suit” sewn together out of the corpses of exhumed women? It’s shit. Just shit. Gein knew how to make himself a “woman suit.”
Kroc and Ford’s numbers put Gein to shame though…
Yes, but with far less creativity and artfulness.
Hail Gein
I’m glad you didn’t try to defend Ford. You know that nazi would have been happy to get his hands dirty skinning various people.
Oh he did. The original Model T had seats upholstered from the skins of Jewish orphans that Ford would personally strangle every morning.
Yeah. I hadn’t heard that, but it definitely scans with his whole vibe. That dude loved to be antisemitic. One of the best to ever play the game. Up there with the okhrana.
Wait what? Ford was a nazi?
Sort of the other way around. He published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (a famous antisemitic book) in serialized form in his newspaper and Hitler admired him for capitalist reasons as well. He kept a photo of Henry Ford on his desk.
So I know three car companies that were/are heavily involved with nazis now. Great.
Like crocodile but not spelled that way.
Seems like past your 50s it’s too late
