Nationalizing musk’s assets really would be a broken clock moment for them imo

Well… at least for when the government stops being fascist, that is

So much for “capitalism better because material wealth communism one toothbrush” etc etc…

Funny how things turned out

The solution is to work towards forming and building up antifascist guerilla resistance blocks, so that when shit really starts getting too real for people, resistance groups are there ready to go

Yes, it of course would have been better to do it all earlier, but as you said…

It’s super frustrating, for sure. You can plainly see what’s gonna happen, and yet most people are too clueless to support it

And this is not a joke either. It’s literally every box for the antichrist

It’s actually really uncanny just how much he fits the bill, and doubly so regarding how many christians follow and support him

And I ask again, has that call to voting and high-roading strategy worked so far? All I see is a fascist US that will now inevitably end in bloodshed. People already disengaged without the opposition “stooping down to extremist levels”. I’d even argue that that sort of weak opposition is exactly why people disengaged in the first place

Not to mention, the US is beyond that stage now. Fascism has arrived there, and it has entrenched itself. It will not leave peacefully, just like it didn’t historically. No matter what, it’s time for new strategies

They do it themselves and already accuse everyone else of sharing fake stuff. Has the moral high ground really worked so far?

All I see is that lies and appeal to emotion is what has given them real power. So when it comes to ridiculing the trump administration, I say fuck it, the alternative hasn’t worked so far. It’s only gotten worse

Fascism never lasts. It’s a self-destructive ideology that will start eating itself more and more over time. They will never win

The big issue of course, is about all the damage that’s going to be done in the meantime. That’s what I hope won’t be too extreme

But if history is still a thing in the future, you can be certain that this moment in time will be judged very harshly

What do you mean ruined?

I will never be able to look at chickens the same

But like, it doesn’t really matter, all that matters is that they will try and try to enforce it

What happened in the countries where they tried to stamp out insurgency? They ended up in rubble for the most part. That’s the scary part

The US is the biggest military in the world

Which country could do it better if not the US?

That is the unfortunate reality of it. I wish I could say that I hope it will be different this time but…

About the one hope I have is that during the next iteration we overhaul society’s systems to so solidly work for the average person that it helps counteract this cycle, but it’s hard to stay optimistic for sure

I hope as fuck that everyone who said that eventually realize they were warned, and take some humility into the future

Maybe, maybe, break Cassandra’s curse. At least for a little bit

For sure, but the rhetoric for annexing other nations has been ramping up, from Canada to Greenland

So I don’t know about it not happening. I see a very real possibility of WW3. Or an American Civil War at least. While also horrific, for the sake of the world I hope it ends up being “just” a civil war

Who cares at this point, they’re doing evil, treat it as such

Well, then they have to face the consequences of not paying attention to the things happening in the place they intend to go to

Like, yeah, ideally you wouldn’t need to worry about this, but this is always a risk when traveling, and politics has that trait of being interested in you whether or not you are interested in it back

Yeah lmao, that’s the worst possible argument he could give I think

“Have you forgotten your economics class?” And then compared public research to a private newspaper

Like, lmao

I think the allies did a pretty good thing by fighting fascism and the nazis

And then… What is that money going to get used for, exactly?

That’s the fucked up part in all of this. A government is much closer to something like a non-profit than it is to a business. Because, like, when you’re a government and have a monetary surplus, what do you do with it? Of course you just wanna spend it!

I know the actual answer is “to give to the billionaires because apparently having enough money for 2000 uber-wealthy lifetimes is not enough” but you know
