    Keep acting like you don’t have a choice to go to the Nazi bar. Surely history will remember you as the resistance.

      One of the cardinal sins of the post WW2 era was the rapid pivot to anti-Communism. The Nazi Bar was the place all the CIA/MI5 spooks went to recruit German/Italian ex-military and their allies/sympathizers. Much like how the Conservative Citizens Council Bar was the place the FBI went to recruit Klansmen and other anti-Civil Rights knee-breakers.

      Surely history will remember you as the resistance.

      History is written by the winners. And the long arc of history does not bend in the direction its been promised. Fascism is on the upswing and all the Conservative school boards are rushing to scrub the history books of anything that might lead the next generation to be skeptical of white naitonalism or sympathetic to a proletarian democracy.

        The long arc of history says any empire, and the USA is a modern version of one, will collapse as any other empire in history has. In general this is been accompanied by greedy men trying to get all power and wealth for themselves by any means necessary. Seems it’s all right on track. Musk and Trump will be remembered as big players in the downfall.

          That doesn’t end the process of imperialism. Just the particular individuals/organizations involved in the act of imperialism. What’s more, the process is glacial. The English, Spanish, and French Empires dragged on for centuries. The American Empire (which is, in many respects, the continuation of the English Empire) appears no less intransigent. The Ottomans lasted 600 years. The Romans lasted 1400. Chinese and Indian Imperialism stretched back nearly 3000 years, only really being interrupted by the English and Portuguese imperialists.

          Seems it’s all right on track.

          We’re on track for some kind of systemic economic collapse. But that’s not the end of the empire. The US as a military force and an industrial trading hub isn’t going anywhere. Standards of living might crash, like they did during the Great Depression or the various 18th century Panics, but the networks of power and the avenues of trade remain.

    Okay, as much as I hate to say it, Musk is absolutely retarded. Hate saying it as an autistic person who is technically retarded because he gives retards a bad name.

        1 have two boys on the spectrum. The most important thing I drill home with them is autism does not entitle you to be an asshole. It’s a message no one told Elon growing up.

        I’d love to sit down with his ex-wives and unparcel what an absolute shitheel he is.

    Well why complain about it on Twitter?

    I resent that so many people feel they need to ‘balance out’ Twitter. Twitter does not need or care about you, and the only way to spite it is to stop participating in it. It is Musk’s platform.

    I even feel icky when screenshots get so many upvotes. I know it doesn’t really matter, but Lemmy/Reddit do not need to feed the trolls.

      I wish more people would understand this. Even negative comments tells him he still has an audience. By posting even derogatory statements directed at him proves you are one of his audience members.

    Its all so divorced from current events. We’ve past “Malibu is burning down because… <insert insane right-wing conspiracy theory>” and moved straight into “I hate Gavin! I hate Gavin! I hate Gavin!”

    And, don’t get me wrong, Gavin Newsome is a careerist corporate hack piece of shit who has been falling upwards his whole life. But that’s not why Malibu is on fire. Its certainly not why Musk is inventing new slurs aimed at him.
