    Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.

    I read this as a call to action for the people Musk/Trump are ordering around. If everyone just said “no, I won’t to do what you tell me” then we might avoid the collapse of the government/economy/country.

      I think the person who originally posted it may have had that intent. I don’t know anything about them. But I’m skeptical that Musk’s retweet was for the same intent. 😀

    “Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.

    They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.

    So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.

    Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?

    Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.

    Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

    Jesus Christ.

      The holocaust had civilian participants as well. The Nazis recruited normal people to form a police force in the occupied territories, and then told them to execute “these jews over there” and they did. There was heavy alcohol abuse among these people, but there was no resistance even though there was no indication there would be punishement if orders were disobeyed

        to form a police force in the occupied territories

        So, not civilians then.

      Only difference being a gun can’t say no. The complicity of the grunt who carries out the order gives them a portion of the responsibility. That’s certainly no absolution to Melon, though.

    I suppose the military and police are public sector workers, but doesn’t that imply that he should be focusing on dismantling the defense department and like FBI, DHS, etc?

    So the 4D chess move is to fire all the public sector workers so there’s no one to do his nazi deeds. Gotcha.

        Does that list include the same political posts that have infested damn near every other sub in existence? I go to shitpost subs for silliness, not more of the same crap we get everywhere.

          I think you’ll need to apply to be a mod of the sub so you can change the rules and sidebar then.

          Anything and everything goes.

            Fair enough. People are fatigued by the constant barrage of political posts, I just figured there were rules against this sort of thing. I’m new to Lemmy and still figuring out how to even view the rules in the voyager app.
