Sounds also like it’s trying to suck Musk off. “Look at how much money he has! That’s so important! It’s a lot more than Trump has!”

The problem, i think, is that if they said that outright their workers might wise up and unionize or something.

Not only them. Everyone will suffer, including Trump (etc). The real fear is that one side “wins” and gets to do whatever they want.

Also the likelihood of it being winnable goes down a lot the moment Trump takes office. I don’t like it but i understand the decision. Still, we have to fight.

That’s probably fair…

This has gotta be Elon Musk, right? Nobody else is using that stupid phrase, right? RIGHT?

They aren’t oblivious, they’re just relying on the operation of our society and their personal and organizational power to protect them. They don’t give a fuck, and they don’t want to give a fuck.

He saw the problem but had no idea what to do for solutions and the ones society was feeding him (he didn’t come up with that on his own) are bullshit. But society won’t tell you about Baudrillard.

This is something people need to get better at seeing. If we want to reach these people we need to understand what’s happening when they say things like this. We also, ourselves, need to understand this stuff so we can speak intelligently about it. You know the media and powers that be never will.

You’re right, this is very destructive.

The US is too good at destroying people’s reputation, yeah. This guy is gonna get vilified hard (whether he did it or not).

But if also a cornerstone. (For better and worse–it got and still gets used to excuse people who commit hate crimes, for example.)

It is actually legal. It’s built directly from the laws and kind of a necessary component if you want jury trials to actually work and not just be a kangaroo court. People just don’t like it.

Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)

Technically they didn’t fully rescind it. They rescinded it in some places but not others, and for some patients but not others. It’s just PR, they have no intention of actually changing things.

Elections were the deal. We’d vote for representatives and abide by their decisions rather than, y’know, killing people in the streets to change society.

When elections can’t change society, though. When the deal is broken, it’s back to the old ways.

Well this is going to go extremely poorly.

I would hope he was lying. I can’t imagine he’s so stupid he can’t see.

That’s… not really true? Or at least i haven’t run into that problem.

As in Wayland yes. X does have color correction stuff, which is the most important part.

It’s kind of embarrassing they still don’t have this tbh.
