    Maybe it’s time we designated Musk as a terrorist?

      Then you should pay more attention to history…

      And I don’t mean that as an insult, all this shit is reruns of shit we’ve already been thru. WW2 had a large push by wealthy American businessmen to not just abstain from the war, but they advocated for joining the Axis back then.

      Capitalism and fascism go hand in hand, the ultra wealthy will always want fascism because fascist leaders love bomb them to get their wealth and power behind the movement.

      We all need to understand this shit so we can understand what worked last time and why it didn’t work permanently

        Fascism cannot exist without capitalism. Capital is what supports and strengthens fascism - the idea that business is more important than the people. This sounds like how the world has always been but it wasn’t until the 60s, at least in the US, when the business leaders wanted to stop unions, make more money, stop the possibilities of environmentalists from hurting profits, etc. The pushback from the people in the 60s spawned the Civil Rights and threatened to derail the business first approach America had gotten used to from after the Depression. The war years gave too much money and power to too few people and things like the Business Plot simmered under the surface of our grandparents’ generation. Two generations of propaganda that made social and community based governing sound villainous has brought us to a full on fascist revolution slow burning through wealthy democracies.

          There’s a lot of details in there that are wrong, but I’ll touch on the part that’s UK relevant since this is a UK sub:

          The pushback from the people in the 60s spawned the Civil Rights and threatened to derail the business first approach America had gotten used to from after the Depression. The war years gave too much money and power to too few peopl

          The big driver of the civil rights movement in America was the treatment of Black soldiers in WW2, the English and especially the French didn’t give a fuck what color an American soldier was, they just cared they were killing Nazis.

          For a Black man from the American South in the 1940s, the tiniest but of basic human decency was unknown from a white person. But they quickly got used to the idea that all men were born equal, regardless of the color of their skin.

          So when they came back, they refused to go back to being treated worse for the color of their skin.

    Non American , and non brit here. Why is this waste of energy so interested in the UK and Europe now ? I know there will be plenty of cynical takes which I will probably endorse however I’m interested in what his actual motivation might be. Does he just want parties in power in the given country that he has influence over for the sake of legislative advantage for his businesses? Or is it trollconomics for sake of driving signups to his failing social network I forget the name of?

        Yep also China has a hold on musk economically. And supports Russia.

        Russia has managed to gain a hold on the US again. (Reminding folks about his illegal holding of Ukraine funds last time)

        The UK is by far the next most vocal supporter.

      it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.

      “well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”

      “oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”

      “by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”

          The labour gov is pretty much planning to nationalise rail again.

          All contracts as they expire will be replaced with co ops or a new nationalised company. By 2027 apparently.

          So yep public owned rail again.

              True.

              But as much as I hated privatisation.

              If owning the trains was required. Then sort term contracts would be impossible.

              Making what labour is doing now, as expensive as the more right wing keep falsely claiming.

              So we sorta have some gratitude that the tories never required the same companies to own the rolling stock as run it. But instead sold it to banks requiring them to rent it.

      He wants to be king of the world, it’s as simple as that. He already has the most money (not that that’ll stop him from wanting more), now he just needs to have the most power, and actively supporting the rise of fascism around the world (which he has been doing for long before he let his mask start to slip and now completely come off) is his way of getting it.

      The fact that you think he bought twitter, or is running it the way he is as some sort of troll, rather than a very real, and very effective, way of manipulating the public as well as politics as a whole, shows how well it works.
