You may have seen this image of Elon Musk's Nazi salute projected onto Tesla's Gigafactory in Berlin.
But you may not know that last year, anarchists occupied the adjacent forest to block the expansion of the Gigafactory and used direct action to shut down power to it.

So, Elon calls himself a fascist for "protecting children." Yet, he's been photographed with Epstein's mistress, Diddy-- and he funded Trump. Is this just him trying to be "cute" about wanting to be called a fascist?

The most aggravating thing to me about Democrats at this moment is that they spent the whole campaign talking about Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy but then after the election decided that apparently everything is fine. It really did validate the GOP saying it was just for votes.

Pepe the Frog is a cartoon used by fascists to signal support for the alt right. Kekistan is a fascist meme that grew out of 4 chan culture & nazis frequently disguise their dog-whistling behind an interest in Roman history.

Was walking to work one day in 2013. Guy riding his bike through an intersection hits a pothole, flies over the handlebars, & faceplants on the pavement. Another woman and I rush over to him, she says "I'll call an ambulance." He gets up, bloodied, says no, he doesn't have insurance & speeds off.
I was in a store yesterday and a woman collapsed and hit her head on a shelf, cutting her head open. We stopped the bleeding while the clerk called 911. When the ambulance showed up, the woman didn’t want to go to the hospital at first bc she was worried about the cost. Picture unrelated.

The media is working to try and stifle class consciousness and inroads being made that are starting to erode the fascist culture war narratives being used to try and keep people distracted from the true threat fascism and its corporate corruption
The enemy is the wealth class not your neighbors.

The article has back to back paragraphs that illustrate how *differently* the public vs. mainstream media perceives him, yet proceeds to suggest positive public perception shaped by MSM, a crafty sleight of hand to depoliticize the act in order to disrupt possible class solidarity across races.

United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."
