Every time I read your articles I find myself wondering how the launch/establishment of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. affected the topic you've researched.
Does the presence of today's social media environment make the whole Trump/Musk/Thiel disaster more dangerous or less dangerous? My mathematical mind wants to measure the amount of danger from the times of Hitler (no social media) and compare that to the amount of danger today, in times of Trump/Musk/Thiel (social media everywhere).
Maybe the answer is that it's both more dangerous and less dangerous today, and it's as simple as that. Or, maybe there's a more complex answer.
Does anyone else think about this, too? I think about it way too much.
Is there any reason why Musk can’t just speak, rather than truncate, or whore out another, on behalf of himself? Trump can even do that…sometimes.
The SAVE ACT needs wholly looked at as a hard no. Trump’s enthusiasm about making the police immune will put Miller as our Himmler and we will begin our own Holocaust.
Does anyone care if you’re Bozo or a communist if your goal is your goal no matter how you get there? However, Musk has agreed with Milton Friedman yet truncated the point he doesn’t like in his statement about playing fair and transparently when only responsible to one’s shareholders.
He leaves out the responsibility and don’t do fraudulent BS portion.
Every union worker, for example, technically operates on Marxist ideology. As Marxism is not an actual governing system.
Bottom line is the more people who continue to speak about history, the facts, the truths will eventually win with the overall understanding that Musk is as inauthentic and hypocritical as Trump is transactional and malleable by their outcomes alone. They have to be checked on every word, post, point, everything, at all times.
It seems the natural progression here is going to be the result of "The Clash of the Egos" that's going to happen between Trump and Musk. I think it's safe to say that even though Musk's ego and sense of self-importance is MUCH greater than Trump's, Trump will win this fight because he'll be president. Last I heard, MAGA is turning on Elmo as we speak because he dared to disagree about something that Trump said about visas AND called his supporters "unrepentant racists," and "contemptible fools," which, of course, most of them are, but Elmo gets no points for noticing.
Is DOGE going to fall apart before Jan 20th? Are we now in a world where Trump is going to save us from Elon Musk? Is the funhouse mirror also the upside-down and inside-out? I am REALLY too old for this sh*t!
Jim, thank you for explaining "Overton Window!" I appreciate that. I agree with your observation that Hitler, Trump, and Musk were/are driven by a pathological quest for power over others. Their grandiose delusions are mapped onto and masked as geopolitical ideology. Socialism, National Socialism, and Communism, as named and implemented by these men all become power-over, hierarchical structures that might start out sounding as if they are "for the people," but they end in servitude, slavery, and subordination of the people because that's what the hidden motive was all along.
Yes. We must fight to keep history uncluttered by the right-wing re-interpreters. It will be a tough fight because interpreting history requires access to so many facts that when even one gets distorted, the effect can be widespread.
As for Communism. No one knows what the term refers to. It's a label applied to those with whom someone disagrees to weaken their arguments. Even Russia which was home to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is no longer following Leninism/Marxism but is still referred to as a hotbed of Communism.
