It’s because Elon keeps getting caught out liking and boosting blatant white supremacist stuff. Who knows why. He really doesn’t seem to mind everyone knowing the fact that he’s a neo-Nazi.
Of course. If I was American I wouldn’t spend a second campaigning for Biden or telling people “you need to vote!!” online, because I’d rather spend that time unionising my workplace, doing mutual aid, building up communities. Things that build real structural change no matter who’s in power. But on the day I’d still go vote for the lesser evil candidate. It takes a small amount of time. Then I’d go straight back to real work. I think most leftists do the same.
There are plenty of bosses like him out there. Completely high on their own shit. He reads about technology in a sci-fi book, and thinks he can Steve Jobs into bullying workers into making it a reality. Completely deludes himself into thinking it’s real and sells it to investors with full confidence. He has no idea of the actual technical challenges and fully convinces himself his genius brain could figure it out if he wasn’t so “busy” all the time. Everything is perpetually just 6 months away.
The people who are on the streets organising and protesting for Palestine are the same people who are doing all kinds of organising: unionising workplaces, mutual aid, street medics, etc. to build up communities and create actual positive change in society.
Do-nothing liberals will do absolutely nothing but complain every day of the year. Democracy isn’t a matter of voting once every 4 years.
Besides, most of these people, despite being highly critical of Biden and will show up to vote on the day. They’re just not going to spend the rest of their time campaigning for a lost cause.
Why not put some of the blame on liberals who aren’t doing enough? Or maybe the reactionaries and fascists who do not give a fuck about what the vote says and will do everything in their power to obstruct, ignore, overturn and use violence to get the outcome they want. You’re delusional if you think fascists will just go away if Biden gets the vote.
Elon Musk is a psychopathic white supremacist narcissist who gets high on ketamine and thinks he can bully workers into making whatever sci fi tech he’s read about into reality then lie to everyone about it’s capabilities.
You’re right. I think he skims the Wikipedia article about the thing at most. Like when he makes references to stuff like Evangelion, Blade Runner, etc. and completely fucks it up.
Right now under the capitalist systems there are countless jobs that are detrimental to the world we live in, or don’t actually produce anything of tangible value.
We would be a lot better off if a lot of people just didn’t do their “jobs”.
We don’t need a hundred types of sugar water, Or McDonald’s plastic toys. Landlords, bankers, stock brokers, financial planners, most lawyers are all useless.
Overpopulation is also a Malthusian myth. It isn’t that we have too many people. Under capitalism resources are not distributed well. It doesn’t make sense that most of us are working in a system that expects infinite growth with the finite resources our world is limited to. All in order to make a handful of people increasingly wealthy while the rest of us increasingly can’t afford to live a basic, simple life.
We can and must work toward building a new system (spoiler: it’s called Anarchism) while dismantling the old, inefficient, destructive system we are currently forced to try to survive in.
Americans forced the world into the capitalist system, and now they don’t like it when China does capitalism. Why are they so afraid of the free market?
Netanyahu funded Hamas, and wanted something like October 7 to happen in order to openly ramp up the genocide. He never gave a fuck about the hostages, nor about all of their own people they gunned down with Apache helicopters on October 7. The only thing that matters to him is genocide of Palestinians.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the Office of Melania Trump wrote in a statement to ABC News.
The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...
“The enemy is both weak (children without the same mental capacity as a cop) and strong (professional agitators with a mastermind behind everything.)”
Cops literally can’t imagine human beings organising organically as part of a community to achieve a common goal. There needs to be a hierarchy, someone “behind it”, or a “mastermind”. It couldn’t possibly be that these are just humans doing their best to try to stop a genocide by the machines of capitalism, colonialism, and the state.
“Look they got water! Definitely a mastermind here!”
When fascists do fascists things like rigging the election, stopping people from voting, making smear campaigns, robocalls, gun violence, storming the capitol again, etc. there will still be a bunch of do-nothing liberals here who will blame “the left” for not voting hard enough, then proceed to do nothing but sit on their asses waiting for the next election.
But let’s keep on with a system that seeks to turn all life and matter into commodities to make an imaginary line go up; which expects infinite growth within a system with finite resources. At least we temporarily gave a handful of people extremely avaricious lives.
