Of course they did. Running guns into Mexico in order to arm the cartels and keep the country unstable is US oligarch policy, snd this SC's sole purpose is to serve the interests of the oligarchs.

There are two broad types of governments: those that benefit the many, and those that oppress the many in order to benefit a few.

Those that benefit the many have no colorable need for mass surveillance.

Teto the hero of the people.

And "Eat the rich, eat the rich! Itadakimasu bitch!" is sheer brilliance.

Actually, I'd say they neatly summed it up before they even got to the meat of the article.

Elon was butthurt," one source said.

Guaranteed that that really is pretty much the entirety of it.

Yes - the Democrats are not leftists.

But neither is any site that would unironically refer to "Caitlyn Johnston, Sulieman Ahmed, Rob Schneider, Megan Kelly, Matt Gates, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, and even some Zionists" as a political "spectrum,"

I had forgotten all about Greenwald.

If I'd stopped and thought about it, I likely would've presumed he was basically living in a cave and talking to himself, sort of like Gollum.

many figures across the political spectrum, including Caitlyn Johnston, Sulieman Ahmed, Rob Schneider, Megan Kelly, Matt Gates, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, and even some Zionists, publicly defended Greenwald.

That's not a spectrum.

It'd barely even count as an arc.

Due Dissidence is a multimedia one-stop shop for left politics

Left?! Left of who? Mussolini?

Personally, I'm more concerned by the coordination between the FTC and Twitter/X. I think that's rather obviously a FAR greater threat to the nation and its people than any nominal coordination between advertisers could ever be.

Particularly when said coordination, if it happened at all, couldn't possibly have amounted to much more than representatives of said companies all noting that yes in fact they did see that Twitter is displaying ads alongside blatant Nazi content and yes they are going to yank their ads, because fuck that shit.

Everything beyond that is just Twitter/X's drug-addled CEO desperately trying to dodge the blame for his own dumbass content policy decisions.

And the FTC potentially representing his interests instead of the interests of the American people.

80 years of jingoistic propaganda to excuse ever greater oppression, violence and murder has created a nation of psychopaths.

Okay - let's imagine that by this time tomorrow, you successfully eliminate every single billionaire and corporation that's a contributor to climate change.

What happens next? Do you actually think the climate is just going to spring back to what it was? If so, you're in for a rude awakening.

Climate change is a done deal already. It has far too much inertia - even a dramatic change is only going to make a notable difference somewhere far down the line.

So entirely regardless of whether and to how much of an extent we might be able to enact societal or political change, we're going to have to cope with some fairly significant climate change. And that, I believe, is where people should be putting most of their focus.

That's not to say that I disagree with you fundamentally. In fact there are very few solutions to the problem of the outsized influence of a relative few wealthy scumbags of which I wouldn't approve, or even willingly take part. But at this point, that's more just (well deserved) vengeance - it's not going to make a dramatic difference in the climate change that is already in process. It's already too late for that.

Reminder that Trump isn't carrying out an autocratic coup d'etat in the US by himself.

He has the active support and assistance of the Republican party and their politicians at every step of the way.

Trump is Pol Pot. The Republican party is the Khmer Rouge.

Oh boohoo - somebody maybe said mean things to him while he was using his daughter as a human shield (or maybe they didn't and he's lying).

And meanwhile, parents in Ukraine are digging their children's corpses out from under rubble.

It doesn't get much more Musk than, "I polled the racists and they said racism is okay, so racism is okay "
