    Imagine that! Wannabe dictator asking whether or not they should invade a sovereign country! He’s truly a good person because he asked his people if they should invade instead of flat out invading!

      And we can trust the reliability of the data, given the sterling reputation of Twitter and Musk himself, of course.

      I’m also positive that the pole was representative of the US population as a whole and not just his idiot supporters.

    My bins weren’t collected last week, now we’ve got snow in them and all the cardboard’s all wet and soggy. If that is not evidence of a tyrannical dictatorship, then I don’t know what is.

    I’m a Dane living in the UK. This is beginner level Trump/musk idiocy. Denmark is currently wrestling with the US demanding a piece of their kingdom (and yes, Denmark is a democracy, so using the word kingdom may seem a bit anachronistic, but in this case we are talking about Greenland, which is an autonomous region of the Danish commonwealth, so the official term is “kingdom”)

    I genuinely can’t believe what is happening. What timeline are we living in?

    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.

    Maybe Putin Musk should launch a special military operation in Ukraine Britain to de-nazify de-tyrranize them. How kind and noble that would be.

    What the fuck is this, an anachronistic parody of 1939? “What if Hitler had Twitter”?

    For the sake of the world, I hope whatever brain-eating disease he’s contracted acts quickly.
