Make Titanic Great Again
I see something beautiful coming together here.
Clive Palmer is an unsubtle book parody of a capitalist from an edgy 80’s Hollywood movie about punks trying to save the local skating-rink.
Only he’s real.
Haha precision strike.
Now do Bob Katter
“And the Titanic is an international symbol. It’s a symbol of love and peace, really. I mean, the movie, everyone knows the Jack and Rose story. All of us have a Jack and Rose story of our own.”
Did this guy even watch Titanic?
“You can all make your jokes, but it’s perfectly safe now that climate change has melted all the icebergs”
Isn’t naming a ship after one that sunk… something frowned upon historically and bad luck?
In a March 13 press conference at the Sydney Opera House to announce his recommitment to reconstructing the doomed ocean liner, Palmer said it would be a beacon of hope amid war in Ukraine and Gaza, bring people together after the era of Covid lockdowns, and embody traditional values as opposed to “woke” politics.
Like that submarine, it will absolutely unite the world in celebration if the Titanic II sinks with its crude Icarus parody at the helm.
the west’s symbol of hope for the future is … a recreation of an old outdated ship that is famous for sinking on its maiden voyage.
???
why are people who are into the titanic so fuckin weird
Not surprising from people who romanticize a perfectly preventable disaster as some sort of unforeseen tragedy
“Only I know the secret to perfectly cutting corners in business.”
I have been into the Titanic my whole life. I was going to have a point here, but I just realized most of you would meet me and be like “wtf?”
What about the Titanic is it that intrigues you so?

He should take the ship on an authentic route through iceberg infester waters.

Please Clive, do a research mission to the wreck of the Titanic. Poseidon needs another billionaire sacrifice.
The wreck of the Titanic craves blood!
But will vaccinated people be allowed on the ship?
Yeah, we’ve got to extend our hand in love and friendship for people being vaccinated despite the side effects. We have to look after them. And they’re all good people. We’re all the same really, like white, green, yellow, whatever it is — to embrace each other.
These anti-vax people are really living in their own little worlds, aren’t they? They genuinely believe anyone who got the vax is walking around like a plague rat. And white folks - even those who aren’t billionaires, have the privilege of being able to create their own little insane realities.
This gets to something you said in your recent press conference, which is that the Titanic reflects traditional values instead of “woke” values. So can you explain what that means?
There’s been a concept in society that you can cancel people. I think you know what I mean by “canceled” people, and we think that’s a terrible concept. The United States was founded on the rights of men to be different. The diversity that we’ve had in our economy, in our intellectual development has really meant that’s developed our society to a higher level. I’m talking about Western society in general. So the French Revolution, the American Revolution, all those things were brought about by individuals [claiming] their rights to express an opinion or view. I mean, you should have the right to be wrong.
In case you’re not familiar with coded whitey speak, this all sounds like gibberish because he can’t say the real reason, which is that he just wants to try and go back to a time where non-white people were just barely visible in the background of white peoples lives, and they were never put in a place power or prominence.
No one was ever cancelled during the French revolution!
