I mean ... You got the nazi pictures, you got the conditiin of the bed, those are red flags for a relationship for sure.
A more immediate threat to your life,spending time in the bed, would be the wall plug next to the pillow. The way I spend night in a bed, this wouls be a fire hazard.
that guy is someone you definitely cover your drink around
I hate how real this looks. Can you imagine the levels of douchery this person can get up to?
Edit: several people are earning themselves Nazi sympathizer tags ITT.

This is the reddest flag I’ve ever seen in my life.
Honey, that's a neuremberg rally
Out of frame is bro jogan
All of them are sociopathic businessmen. 110% red flag.
The Guardians of the Incel.
It's definitely some red arm bands.
Musk is so spineless he can't even look you in the eyes.
Run now. Far far away. Do not pass go, do not collect 200$.
Why do people look up to fictional character Andrew Ryan from the hit game Bioshock? -is it the "man chooses , slave obeys" thing?
Pretty sure that's Walt Disney, not Andrew Ryan
That be the joke.
I thought that was Walt Disney
Double bed in the corner? Pillows with no covers? You matched with a child.
Oh yeah, and the Nazi pictures. That's bad too.
Now I'll be the first one to hate on organ thief Steve Jobs, but I don't think he was a nazi, more of a hippy psycho cult leader.
Yeah, Jobs wasn't a Nazi, he was mostly an asshole that stole the surplus value from his employees and also credit for the work his employees did
If Jobs was still alive he probably would have been sitting with the other billionaires at Trump's inauguration.
I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should've been more clear.
EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn't prematurely die of hubris.
I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).
Were I a young woman, I wouldn't consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.
We had a mattress on a homemade base for a while as parents in our 30s because our first child fell from the bed, which was pretty high as beds go.
So we built this frame on the floor so that our kid could get in and out of the bed with minimal effort, and if she fell, she would fall the height of the mattress.
Red flag? This is USSR .
Considering what Russia was like before and after the USSR, and considering that the Nazis threw everything at destroying the USSR and then the US put all it's weight on strangling the USSR.... Communism is actually kind of incredible in a lot of ways. It turned Russia from a shithole into a global super power and then it did the same for China
China and Russia have been superpowers way longer than communism has been an idea
Yeah, not ragging on communism. I'm actually a huge fan of Marx, including his tidbit about an armed proletariat. But the country was considered "red" at the time.
Also, good on you for defending the system! I only wish you disparaged the leader a little. Cause, conceptually, the USSR would've lasted a whole lot longer if it wasn't for that murderous prick.
I don't think you'd see as many red flags as this unless you walked into Morocco in the 1800s.
GET OUT
Bruh you might not wake up
-Walks into a room with two framed pictures of Nazis-
"Is this a red flag?"
White women will do anything except hold white men accountable. They're content with being numero dos as long as other minorities and women of color remain "at the bottom."
Hey that’s not true throws beer can a woman purchased for me on the ground, assuming a brown person will pick it up I’m perfectly capable of bottoming out all on my own thanks zombies out
Privilege by proxy
Musk has been a fraud since day 1, I can't believe it took him fully becoming a full oligarch for everyone to hop off his dick.
he's not invented anything at all. He bought Twatter and Tesla. He inherited millions from his slaver father.
He was much less vocal in the past, back when SpaceX and Tesla were getting big. He barely HAD any amount of public persona, so people just associated him with the cool tech that the companies were doing. That was also before he started taking direct control over technical decisions, so the tech they were outti g out was actually pretty cool.
Something around... like 8 years ago?... made him lose his good sense for keeping his mouth shut. Obvious bet would be the ketamine.
Can't speak for others but from here it seemed like he was pushing the electric car market forward when the bigs weren't risking it which was a good step forward.
Electric cars are not the savior we all want them to be anyways. The dudes just a conman. People are right for being shocked he scammed people over and over for years and kept getting more and more success for it. It shouldnt work that way, but apparently americas premier product is the conman given how much money they are worth to others.
Tesla existed before Musk btw. He just came in and put his name on it, and manipulated the stock by having it appraised as a tech stock and not a car one. Oh and just selling "carbon credits" to other car companies so they can keep making polluters. Tesla would be bigger and more advanced without his influence, especially the toxic work culture he enforced.
This isn't a red flag, its a fucking air siren.
It's not an air siren, it's the sound of the bombers themselves flying above you.
And they have this painted on the side ☢️
Let's play a game. What's the fourth picture on his wall that we can't see
Henry Ford.
Andrew Tate.
Dude's not even fun to look at.
Ronald Reagan
Thomas Edison.
Oh that's good
Von Braun or Joe Rogan
Mussolini
This one lol.
Elizabeth Holmes
A certificate from the Andrew Tate fan club.
Andrew Ryan
Is the first one Disney? If so, 2 of 3 are confirmed Nazis, so yeah, huge red flag. Steve Jobs was just a dick, right?
Musk started out as just a dick then turned full fascist. I bet Jobs wouldn't be too far behind if he was alive.
The guy died from a treatable cancer because he listened to a health guru instead of doctors. I bet he would be an antivax idiot gulping down horse dewormer to prevent COVID-19 if was alive today.
It's even worse than that.
He stole a liver transplant from someone at the top of the list, and then died a few months later. He wasn't even a candidate, he was terminal at that point, but he did it anyway to try and give himself a few more months to live, while likely killing someone else who needed that liver much more.
Behind the Bastards had a great series on him, as always.
I liked that when he died, he died knowing he could have avoided it if he wasn't a miserable, narcissistic idiot :)
The behind the bastards about Jobs was fucking wild. The guy made children cry (not his own) for eating incorrectly and he would hold meetings in the bathroom so he could soak his feet in the toilets. It is a great series of episodes.
The same dude who refused cancer treatment because he was convinced his “healthy” lifestyle and alt med bullshit would cure the cancer itself
and he would hold meetings in the bathroom so he could soak his feet in the toilets.
Pardon?
I'll look for that one, he's great. Sometimes, it's just too hard to listen to, but Jobs would probably be okay.
How do you eat incorrectly, stick it up your nose?
Disney technically isn't a confirmed Nazi, AFAIK. He actually worked with jewish employees at his company who vouched for him.
He was a nazi by association, to the antisemite Motion Picture Alliance of the time and his welcoming of Nazi film film director Leni Riefenstahl. He also had a specific beef with a specific Jewish businessman who labelled him an antisemite, and his company produced at least one antisemitic portrayal of the three little pigs, but it also produced propoganda for the US Military fighting the nazis. In their cartoon "the ducktators" they mount the stuffed heads of Hitler, Mussolini, and a japanese military leader I don't recognize on the wall above the fireplace.
He was racist af, tho, but no less than average in 1930s and 1940s.
In my book, Nazi adjacent = Nazi. He wasn't trying to get along with Nazis to save orphans or something.
It was the God-Emperor himself. Casual reminder that Imperial Japan was a divine monarchy, and fascism and monarchism are not mutually exclusive.
The glasses are the giveaway. Plus him being the head of state...
Sounds like he just didn't have any morals, just cared about the money.
Which I don't think is any better than being a Nazi, but could be worse
We must be diligent with our language, even if the enemy is willing to twist it. Thanks.
At least jobs had the presence of mind to let himself die of a curable condition because he thought he knew better.
Even that tongue in cheek comment is unfortunately true as another person put it: he stole the next in line spot for a transplant when he was already way too far gone for it to do anything only to die months later.
Yea, just an unbelievable asshole.
Was Disney a Nazi? I know he wasn't a good person, but I hadn't heard that. Is there any further reading you could link me? A cursory search didn't find much other than the fact that he seems totally cool working with anti-semites, which isn't really the same thing. If he was, I'd like to know, and if not, we should be more precise with our language so when we call out people like Elon it means something.
we should be more precise with our language
I swear this exact phrase is an FBI plot to get people to doubt everything they see and hear.
"That school shooter was a nazi" "Well, we ought to be careful when saying things like that."
"Elon Musk is a nazi." "And what has he done exactly? You know, it's important to be precise. The story of the boy who cried wolf is that ..."
"Hitler was a nazi." "Well, he was in charge of the nazis. Specificity is really important when handling delicate matters like these, you know."
Not to pick on you specifically, but I am so fucking tired of hearing it.
Run.
Yes it is a red flag. With a round white space in the center and a weird swastika cross.
stop banging these fucking people ffs
Many young men who can't find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.
Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Edit: this is calling out how women are criticized for both dating and not dating conservative men. Leave to to Lemmy's male echo chamber to explain how this is not the case.
"Leave to to Lemmy's male echo chamber to explain how this is not the case."
This is such a great way to change people's minds, just insulting them and calling them a monolith. You should probably leave if this is your predisposition to Lemmy, it sounds like you will always find reason to be a contrarian because you have innate negative opinions on the users here.
I don't get your logic. You're saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.
Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?
The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.
I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I'd have fallen prey to far right conspiricies
like, it doesn't work that way. there should be a social contract saying "people take care of each other, that's how society works".
i get that you're saying women shouldn't despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn't mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it's good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don't take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.
Judging from those three, he's definitely against worker's rights.

Guys, I'm gonna set my room up with large pictures of Mr. House from New Vegas, Bob Page from Deus Ex, and uh... I dunno, Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner.
How about President Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Reveangence?
... He's on the ceiling above the bed, rofl.
Oh, add Zorg from The 5th Element!
Such an iconic haircut, rofl.
Oh girl, just run.
A red flag with a white circle and a symbol in it
It bothers me that he aligned the frames by their bottom edge, rather than the top.
they're all the same dimensions, it's just perspective making them look that way.
They look of equal height to me..
The blanket is definitely a red flag.
Only 2 pillows.
Wall plug seems high up relative to bed- mattress on floor?
Large white dudes watching me bang.
Yeah there's a few things off in this picture
What's wrong with the pillows? I only have one (+ my SO has 1, but those two are not stacked)
And a twin bed to top it all off
Nicolas Tesla and Steve jobs A little pretentious but sure lol Elon musk is where you lost me
*Walt Disney.
Aaaaahhhh, thank you, I was like, "wtf is Peter Sellers doing there?!"
Thats what big disney wants you to think. Typical sheeple
Nicola Tesla? He's nowhere in this image.
Also, he's great. He doesn't fit in with the others on the wall.
It's a damn tragedy to have him associated in any way to the owner of the electric car company that uses his name.
Tesla (the man) was better than to have that happen to him.
Welcome, to the Nosleep Podcast.
No Ford or Hitler? Guy needs to expand his hate horizons
There's wall not shown on the picture, it can be anything there not seen.
Run!
One of them is Walt Disney. I fail to see how Walt is on par with Elon.
Politics. Go look at his Wikipedia page, particularly the section on his character.
I am aware of his union busting authoritarian ass, but he is not only the same level as Elon. Not by a long shot.
Let's ask his frozen head 🥶
Oh damn I thought it was Howard Hughes
That's not a red flag, that's a "drop your stuff and run out of there this instant"
So what he's a fan of?
https://www.acronymfinder.com/DMJ.html
Who's the guy on the left? I'm sure he's awful just via context clues, just not sure why.
Do you recommend those plastic frames?
Let's just say they're perfect for the pictures in them.
Getting real frames for anything can get pricey. The cheap ones do really suck though
The bed being shoved in the corner is a big red flag. Put that in the middle of the room so you can walk around both sides. If it is needlessly difficult to put the sheets on you can bet they don't get changed very often.
If my partner isn't willing to climb over me while sleeping like some sort of gremlin she just isn't cut out for the relationship.
I like sleeping with a wall. My current room layout makes it better to leave the walls open (closets along one wall, sliding doors to outside on the other), but I prefer to sleep in the corner
I feel like this is a 1000 IQ move if you're a fuckboi.
Put these pictures up. Girl comes over. She's already planning on hooking up, so she'll be inclined to not immediately bail. If she looks uncomfortable, claim that you put those posters up before Elon went insane, and just haven't gotten around to taking them down. The picture of Elon is older and the Jobs poster is 2015-coded, so that will be enough of an excuse for the vast majority of people who already have other things on their mind.
After the deed is done, be respectful. However at the same time drop some phrases that are conservative-coded, but still with plausible deniability. Something about fraud in Ukraine, referring to being non-binary as a "lifestyle choice" that you "personally respect", mention the upcoming stablecoin legislation, etc.
Girl leaves, weirded out but not immediately fearful. A day later, text her. Say that you had a great time, but you sensed there was a bit of a disconnect. Tell her that you could go either way, but the ball was in her court. If she brings up politics, say something like "I'm an independent, I respect everyone's beliefs, and while I respect your perspective I don't plan on changing myself for you".
Maybe she declines, maybe she ghosts you. It doesn't matter, the point is that you don't have to deal with her, and that feeling is mutual.
Same result as a hookup and ghosting, but enough plausible deniability that your name won't go up on social media
I guess if the fuckboi is like a psychopath but even then it feels you're better of seeking one night stands
You sound like if you've never even spoken to a real human, living woman.
In a happy LTR. Most women don't actually like white knights, and can take a joke ;).
