  • They were selling nazi propaganda,

    Have you seen the tshirt yet?

    Or are you just going off the thumbnail from the article?

    That’s about the only benefit of doubt here and why I bothered replying.

    Quick edit:

    Like, if you haven’t seen it yet, go look at it, and then come back and say “yeah, not that big of a deal actually”.

    I can tell you about some of the reasons that Olympics was a big deal and why people would buy for reasons other than being a Nazi.

    If you already seen it and acting like this…

    We’re good



  • Your heart’s in the right place…

    But you don’t understand what’s happening and you’re just blindly lashing out and instead of asking questions you’re accusing people you don’t understand of being “them”.

    Like, it’s important people stop doing what you’re doing and understand why. Because your attitude is the same attitude that gets pointed at groups by fascists.

    I punched my first Nazi in highschool, but that’s because he showed me an actual swastika tattoo on his chest, not because he said something I didn’t understand.



  • didnt say musk couldn’t be assassinated or otherwise disposed of. Im responding to the commenter that wanted him homeless and poor.

    Like virtually everything else in life, this is not a binary decision…

    They can literally just fly away.

    They can abandon all their possessions that are stateside and try to flee, and maybe some do. But we’re talking about the type of people medieval dragons were based on, they ain’t running to save themselves over what they’ve hoarded.

    Not to mention they effectively control the minds of the population that would take up arms against them.

    Loads of shit wrong with that statement, but most obviously that only conservatives have guns.

    Tldr:

    You said one thing is possible.

    I said not only is that thing possible, but more extreme things are.

    Logically I don’t understand how I can help you understand this, and that’s the only way I know to explain things, I’m sorry.


  • France used to have kings bro…

    Kings with so much money they not only funded but sent their own seasoned commanders across an ocean for a revolution against their rival just so they couldn’t have it.

    You think a week before the first head came off that the average French citizen believed one day the monarchy would be dissolved?

    Like, none of this is new, we just need to look at it on a timescale measured in centuries and not just since we were old enough to remember.

    The wealthy don’t have to control the government, and they don’t even have to be wealthy if the rest of us don’t want them to be. That’s how modern wealth works, it’s 1’s and 0’s. If the next US government says “that’s mine or your cut off from US banking”. They’re gonna fucking transfer that money, be ause it’s not even the banks to begin with.

    We have an absolute shit ton of options to work with


  • It would be like Israel where it ends up banning high level officials from even travelling thru a country’s airspace

    But, I think it would be believable for stuff to come out in trials and due to the international and high level corruption of this case, if some countries don’t prosecute their own, other countries governments have a responsibility to disclose the evidence and that the offending countries know but refuse to act

    Fuck it, what’s the risk in burning a bridge with trump when he’s so fickle?

    Either way it won’t last, but this has a shot to get rid of him, which every responsible power wants.



  • The answer is when enough people get tired of them hoarding everything…

    Gluttony was always greed, and the stories about dragons sleeping on gold were just allegories for people like Elmo.

    We need to stop acting like this is a new problem and we don’t know how to fix it.

    It’s human variation, some people are wired to do anything for as many resources as possible. Which is fine as long as we get them treatment instead of giving them the keys to the planet.

    All we gotta do is stopping letting the wealthy make all the decisions, because they’ll keep deciding that they should have more of the money.
