I mean, the ADL just publicly called out that dipshit Musk for posting a bunch of Nazi jokes on twitter. Apparently that was a bridge too far.

All that aside, who in their right mind wants this spastic fuck anywhere near levers of power?

Also, a lot of Israelis fucking hate Netanyahu a see his policies as a direct threat to Israel.

I agree with the general sentiment.

If you haven’t, you should read Marx. You might enjoy it.

I know this one has already been beaten to death in the last few pages considering how stupid it is, but I haven't seen anyone actually post the audio that goes with it. AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and a bunch of other politicians have pushed this, but it's the same sad propaganda they've always pushed. You'd think their constituents would be getting better at sniffing this stuff out, but no. Check it out with the audio and if you fell for it, well...you're still gullible.

I couldn't find another video with the audio, so I pulled it from Libs of Tiktok because everyone is sharing the clip without the words that preceded and followed the gesture (For obvious propaganda reasons).



It's still a bit awkward, which isn't surprising since it's Musk, but context is important especially when you're a dickbag purposefully trying to frame it as a Nazi salute...cause it's always about Nazis.

Whether you think it was a seig heil or not the fundamental issue is this weirdos inability to self regulate and that he thinks doing shit like this and posting Nazi jokes on one of the largest social media platforms in the world that he owns and coincidentally has lots of Nazis and facists on it is appropriate and or funny.

All this is exhibit A as to why nobody should be allowed to accumulate such insane levels of wealth and power.

Why anyone would defend this asshole is beyond me.

A bunch of liberals started with the Nazi crap, that's on them, he didn't ask for it. The guy is on the Spectrum too, he's going to act differently than you or me in social situations. It doesn't make him an asshole. It's funny how lots of people liked Musk until he dipped his toe into politics, then a lot of people decided he was evil or something. People are easily manipulated though, as we've seen with this Nazi nonsense.

That’s why any person with that much power, let alone someone with such little self control is so dangerous.

You posted a headline. Congrats. 16 of 26… do you even math, bro?

60% of the time Trump is Project 25 all the time…

16 executive orders on day 1 directly from something he knew nothing about and had no involvement with?

Who cares what proportion of the whole it is? Lol

“Who cares” has probably been the theme on this thread the last few days. A bunch of sore losers grasping at any headline they can get. Carry on, it’s entertaining.

60% chance his executive order will be something straight from the playbook he claimed to know nothing about? Lol

You guys are so fucking gullible.

Uh huh, and what has Musk done that's so dangerous? This screams fear mongering. Is he Tony fucking Stark creating weapons of mass destruction? He bought a social media platform that was heavily influenced by liberals and he gave conservatives an equal voice when previously they were getting banned and squelched. For years conservatives lamented this and they were told "Get your own platform." Now liberals are pissed that Musk did just that and bought Twitter, except liberals are allowed to remain. The whole thing is hilarious. I'm probably getting off topic though, maybe this has nothing to do with social media. Please explain why he's so dangerous.

The king of gullible calling the pot black. Pretty sure it was pointed out a number of times that some of Trump's platform items did match Project 2025, but it didn't include a lot of the extreme stuff. If you look at the little items they checked in the article, only 35% of the Project 2025 items were similar to the EOs and the rest weren't touched. 35% != 100%. Pretty much all of those items Trump previously talked about during his campaign too: more drilling, deportation, deregulate business, ending climate protections, no more DEI, etc.

The most controversial item is probably ending Biden's reduced prescription prices, but I expect this is a payback move since Trump reduced prescriptions first as an EO at the end of his presidency, Biden then revoked it and created his own so he could take credit, so Trump will probably bring his own back in some capacity.

In any case, until that list reaches a 60% completion rate you're clutching your pearls over nothing. Trump isn't banning contraceptives. I doubt he's raising taxes on the working class. He's not banning books about slavery. He's not packing the Supreme Court, there's no reason to while conservatives have a majority. He's not eliminating worker protections. Those aren't things he ran on, the EOs were all stuff that were already part of his platform and weren't a surprise.

I actually agree with 90% of Project 2025 so I have no issue.

The issue with Project 2025 on the campaign was that there was a full court press from the left lying about the contents of what was in it and banking on the fact that people wouldn’t actually read it (and they were right)

Trump, knowing this, couldn’t really say “no that’s a lie, it’s actually not in there just read it” and so the only thing he could really try to do is distance himself from it.

Lol you fools are still crying about that Heritage document. Nobody gives a shit about that thing but the far left crybabies. Your side was a complete abortion for four years and was denied re entry. Now you get to sit back and watch the correction occur.

Like I said, let it simmer, baby. In reality we probably won't see much change until production and drilling ramps up. It hasn't even been a week though, gotta write those checks to the petroleum princes still. We'll get there.

Try the Anti-Communist Manifesto by Jesse Kelly. Can't fight Marxists/communists with reason and altruism. If you are going to wrestle a pig you have to get dirty.

In anticipation of Trump’s visit and all the ridiculous shit he will inevitably say regarding wildfire’s here’s a piece originally written in I believe 1995 and later included in the book Ecology of Fear, which will hopefully provide some much needed context.

longreads.com

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn - Longreads

Many of California's native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt?
longreads.com longreads.com

“The 1930 Decker Canyon fire was a worst-case scenario involving 50-year-old chaparral and a fierce Santa Ana. Faced with a five-mile front of towering flames, 1,100 firefighters could do little except save their own lives. As the firestorm unexpectedly wheeled toward the Pacific Palisades, there was official panic. County Supervisor Wright, his nerves shaken by a visit to the collapsing fire lines, posted a hundred patrolmen at the Los Angeles city limits to alert residents for evacuation. Should the “fire raging in the Malibu District get closer,” he gasped, “our whole city might go.” Ultimately, this apocalypse (which may have given Nathanael West the idea for the burning of Los Angeles in his novel Day of the Locust) was avoided—no thanks to human initiative—when the fickle Santa Ana abruptly subsided.”
