He’s been obsessed with it since the 1980s.

You never know…

If you have watched The Fallout TV series, the billionaires might be on to something. Or rather, the writers know something that we don’t!

He knows this is BS. I wonder what he’s been up to say something he knows is farcical as smoke and mirror cover. The Republicans could be trying to pass an evil legislation, like allowing to fuck couches.

I am not surprised. Elon is an accelerationist who believes that the next social turmoil will definitely be coming. But since it is going to happen, he thinks it is better if it comes sooner rather than later.

Yup, America officially becomes fascist. The executive simply doesn’t respect the judicial branch anymore.

Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

The only good thing that came out of the Trump tariff is the volatility index going up!

I will be honest, I thought that Trump will continue with his fascist-adjacent/fascist-lite policies from his first term. Looks like in this term, he is out for vengeance and doubled down!

I always see xenophobia and racism as different level in the same category. Like, the former is “milder” and something as I, as an immigrant, could overlook. The latter is far more hateful and intolerant.

The far-right in Europe seems to have lost momentum a bit-- for now. The far-right parties in government in Sweden and Netherlands proved themselves incompetent and lost support. The support on German AfD stagnated. Meloni has shown to be more moderate than expected (well, not quite but that’s a long story). And Le Pen has been prosecuted, but I think this is not enough to actually kill the French far-right movement so long as the French government still practice neoliberal policies. But I think the major factor that made Europeans think twice now about gravitating towards fascism is after witnessing the shit show in America and Musk’s overt election interference in Europe. I should not be laughing, but what a laugh the three months of Trump administration has been!

Okay fascist.

To add on what @Higgs Boson@dubvee.org said, credit to where it’s due, the privatisation did help the struggling British economy lift itself out of edging bankruptcy caused by the oil crisis. We have to admit that, sometimes, you need to tighten your belt. But, Thatcher went too far with gutting welfare and unions. Even some respectable conservatives at the time agreed that she went too far.

It is not like we did not see this coming; a billionaire who controls the narrative.

I am not the only one who observed this, but Tate is clearly an insecure human being. He is not a bad looking guy and is quite successful, and yet spout these mysoginistic bs. That guy also needs therapy along with prison sentence.

Post it on 4chan so that people will dismiss the leaks as fake and gay.

It is starting to make sense alright. I remember someone telling me that Americans put too much focus on federal politics, even though what goes on in Washington does not necessarily affect them. And the news of American states “Trump-proofing” themselves is also starting to make more sense. This also explains why voter turnout for presidential elections is quite low compared to other democracies, because eligible voters feel they won’t be affected as much.

As a non-American, the more i learn about US states, the more I realise that the country is more like a reluctant confederation than an actual unified country.

It is easy to very feel disillusioned with the world, but it is important to remember that there are still good people all around willing to fight the good fight. And it is also important to remember that technology is not inherently bad, it is a neutral object, but people could use it for either good or bad purposes.

Well, aren’t we all stubborn when it comes to doing new things?

My guess is that it will be younger people who will go to Lemmy (like Reddit before had been).
