It’s never been more lucrative for losers.
In a post-pandemic world, millions dead, markets collapsed, brains radicalized—losers are having a gold rush.
A loser, to me, is someone who—instead of getting a job or a degree or getting up early and thugging it out for a paycheck, truly working hard to improve their financial situations—they jump at lazy get-rich-quick schemes that harm those around them.
Last week, Pablo Torre, along with Mother Jones, detailed the financial incentives for Riley Gaines dedicating her life to popping up on Fox News and random Republican Conventions—looking like Woodstock from Charlie Brown—to say “trans women bad” to the thunderous applause of people who paid her to come tell them “trans women bad”.
She’s a jester, playing the accordion on a unicycle to please the court.
Riley tied for 5th in the college championships with Lia Thomas, a trans woman.
A fifth-place finish destined regardless of Lia Thomas’s existence.
And now, at 25 years old, years removed from the event, Riley Gaines has built a 6-figure business around the tragedy she endured.
In the Pablo Torre Finds Out episode, they reveal how Riley Gaines’s story quickly evolved from “I was a little uncomfortable about racing against a trans woman but whatever” to “I was sexually assaulted by sharing a locker room with it.”
Her story groomed by fellow losers like Clay Travis and Tucker Carlson—higher-ups on the pyramid scheme—holding her hand, leading her to the pot of gold waiting for anyone with no morals or ethics, willing to proudly lie for cash from ghouls who have, at the very least, contemplated running their own Most Dangerous Game.
The MLM always needs new voices to bring in more, less-informed losers to steal time and money from.
A pipeline of losers with microphones and web cams, crying about the decline of men who don’t want to work anymore—while they themselves would wake up in the ICU, overheating from one landscaping shift on a humid Summer day.
Podcast losers who only date their teenage fans but want to pretend like they walk into bars and just decide which woman is going home with them.
Each time Riley sat down with a loser podcaster, they dialed up her story to make her a victim of sexual violence.
Pablo Torres Finds Out spoke to Riley Gaines’s former teammates—women who were in the locker room when Riley says she was assaulted—and they all say Lia Thomas wore a towel and didn’t change in front of the women.
However, Riley’s own coach, Lars Jorgensen, was accused of raping one of her teammates and was banned from coaching ever again. Radio silence on the real, material harm a man actually created in women’s sports.
There’s no money in standing with her teammates against their coach. She doesn’t get a New York Times bestseller by saying old, creepy men are creepy.
But there sure are a ton of old, creepy men willing to pay Riley Gaines to say trans women are the real threat.
Twitter is for losers
Back in the day, you at least had to make something.
Snakeoil salesman put liquids in bottles.
You had to be charming and charismatic.
Now you just need an iPhone and wifi.
Over the weekend, X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, announced the rollout of “About This Account” profile pages, which provide details on when an account was opened, how often its handle has been changed, and where the owner resides. “This is an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square,” Bier wrote on the site on Saturday. “We plan to provide many more ways for users to verify the authenticity of the content they see on X.” To protect users in countries without free speech protections, he added, the company was implementing “privacy toggles to only show your region” as opposed to the exact country.
As soon as this new information was unleashed, people began looking at the location data for accounts that primarily serve to stoke political tensions in the U.S. with far-right narratives that are often misleading or outright false. Many were instantly revealed to live abroad, suggesting that they have spent years posting this material less out of ideological motivations than for the money, accelerating the polarization of the American electorate in the process.
Losers.
A new feature allowing users to see others’ locations revealed that a mass of big right-wing accounts are foreigners pretending to be American to cash in on the country’s divisive politics and our addiction to phone notifications.
I’m not even mad at these Indians and Africans and Russians trying to make a buck. If the American economy is as bad as the White House is making it seem, refusing to release 3rd quarter financial reports, then those nations are surely also devoid of equity.
But these are still losers.
You are a weirdo if you profit from selling wars.
And at the lowest rung of the MLM.
They’re selling Avon door-to-door, in whiteface.
Oftentimes, the world can make you feel like a loser.
Whether it’s a price tag out of your budget or opening up Instagram to see an acquaintance have the biggest wedding ever, while you could barely afford to rent the dining hall.
No, Riley Gaines is the loser—a decent swimmer turned coward, afraid to chase any of her real, actual ambition. She chose the easier path of parroting whatever talking points are sent to her Gmail that morning.
She’d rather make life hell for trans people than work on her resume, to actually work and obtain something she’s earned.
I do believe this is a temporary gold rush.
These mutants can spend their fortunes funding morons but these losers will never live meaningful lives. Eventually, a new, shinier toy will come around and Riley Gaines will be tossed in the bin like all the blonde girls that aged out of Trump and Epstein’s rosters.
Twitter is a tent city full of vagrants exchanging mental health crises. Every day, fewer and fewer real humans waste their time on that trash app.
These losers are so close to having to actually prove they are good at something once the money dries up and they join the rest of us out here. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’ll beat these losers.
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think makes people losers today. Or even better, reach out and send some loser qualities and I’ll write a whole blog about it. Hit up ya boy on social media: Facebook. Twitter. Bluesky. Instagram.
Or shoot me an email (I refresh that thing no less than a million times a day) Deadseriousmailbag@gmail.com.
