remember back before elon was a outed as a sack of shit and he sent starlinks to ukraine?
turns out russia's got more expertise in the turning people russian dept
Eh, he was already kind of a sack of shit even then...was a big SpaceX fan and I watched his decline over the past 10 years in real time.
At this point I think rather than a decline it was a slow reveal as he got more confidence to do and say whatever he wants.
At this point ... the problem is not the billionaire or the idiots that rise to power ... the problem is everyone everywhere looking at all this and just accepting it all as normal.
I'm not saying we should have a revolution ... everyone should just be more vocal and critical about how they don't accept any of this.
Journalists whether they are under a corporation or not should also stand up more often to either say they don't support this or just refuse to report on all this idiocy without a critical voice.
I'm saying we should have a revolution.

... and China and Russia solved all these problems and more with their not-communist flavors of communism, right?
The problem is not seeing a problem with any of that before the bit about talking to spooky foreigners.
The rich and powerful having this much control over our government, communications, and our economic lives in general is THE problem. Full stop. What they decide to do with that power is beside the point. There’s no such thing as a good king.
