There’s this UA drone video of a FPV drone swooping in to hit a squad of Russian soldiers hiking a treeline, and at the very last second you can suddenly see a puppy running between their feet.
Every time I see that child, I think of that clip of the puppy :(
He’s giving a full demonstration of just how untouchable he feels.
This is such a huge part of the psychology behind authoritarianism. It’s about harsh rules and repression, and the perverse enjoyment of the privileged few, that can be above the rules. It’s like a schoolyard bully, really, beating you up but also snitching on you to the teachers, and then enjoying the teachers not believing you. The hypocrisy is not a fault within authoritarianism, it’s an essential component, of how it functions ideologically.
Taking away their feeling of being untouchable, is a massive part of how to combat it. That requires, at this point, revolutionary change, because damn, the foundations of property are all in their favour.
Wow. He’s really leaning into this crap full force, publicly. He’s giving a full demonstration of just how untouchable he feels.
Worse, he has that little boy with him all the time now, watching him do these things.
What little boy? You aren’t referring to that ambulatory kevlar vest with the overactive nasal mine, are you?

I’m not even going to try to figure out the name of any of Elon’s children. The man should not be allowed to name anything.
If you read his Xmas card out loud, you summon Cthulhu.
His portable emergency blood transfusion source.
“Mmmmm! Protect me, Baby Meatshield!”

If you pull a Trump card to save your businesses, gotta keep it wet for the long haul.
