One day, this kid will grow up and realize that what he thought were meaningful moments he spent with his dad were really just PR stunts and nothing more
And then he will begin to hate Elon just like his other siblings do

My first ever "are we the baddies moment" came in middle school when we were learning about how the Hitler Youth and how the Nazis had school kids pledge their loyalty to the Third Reich before class started every day.

To be very clear, if you are in the military and you are ordered to go to Gaza and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, you have the choice to say no. And it is your responsibility to do so

Look, I'm not saying that Current Affairs is controlled opposition
But if I was attempting to do controlled opposition, it would be hard to come up with something better than "don't call the fascists stupid because eugenicists also call people stupid and that's bad"

The "America First" crowd wants to give Canadians the right to vote federal elections before they even consider granting that right to actual American citizens in Puerto Rico

Despite constantly appearing to be hypocritical, MAGA is actually one of the most logically consistent ideologies out there
There is only one question which matters to them: does my position benefit my in-group?
Once you understand this, everything they do starts to make a lot more sense

What if I told you there was a secret third option where we let the people currently doing all that work for us continue to do it legally so that capitalists can't weaponize the threat of deportation to underpay them?

Replace MAGA with Religion and Trump with God and you will quickly realize why religious people tend to be so susceptible to fascist propaganda

Nothing to see here, just a sitting Republican Senator explicitly calling for the deportation of an American citizen for religious speech

Here is the guy who just publicly did a Nazi solute saying we should coerce wikipedia into making it seem like left wing violence and right wing violence are equally prevelent, regardless of the fact that right wing violence occurs in much greater volume

Something normal people do on the off chance that they accidentally do a Nazi solute is that they get extremely embarrassed, apologize, and condemn the Nazis
The thing that Nazis do is deny, because they think admitting fault is a sign of weakness, and Nazis only value strength

Trump has made nearly $60 billion dollars since he launched his crypto coin on Friday. It now makes up 89% of his net worth
