Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink
Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI fully agree. Any industry that can’t survive on its own and needs public funds shouldn’t exist and if it’s an essential service it should be nationalized.

So you want Donald Trump in charge of the telecom industry and any other industries that have received some sort of public subsidy?

Yeah, maybe we can nationalize them with the clause that it kicks in when his heart stops beating

This is the same mistake everyone makes. They think Donald Trump is just a person. That he actually matters and we just have to get rid of him and everything will be okay.
It doesn’t work that way.
But as fascism didn’t die with Hitler, it’s not going to die with Trump either. All of the problems — all of the rifts in our society — will still be there when he’s gone.

Very true. It’s easy to focus on a figurehead and much harder to target a broad feeling of disillusionment affecting tens of millions.
