    To the degree that fascism has a distinctive economic system, one of its most notable qualities is a combination of private ownership of the means of producton with government/corporate partnership and a “revolving door” by which powerful individuals pass back and forth between business and political leadership positions.

    I just saw a poll that three quarters of democrats think Elon should be in jail. I agree. He needs to be in jail.

      Every registered voter can say Elon deserves to be in jail and guys like Merrick Garland will just kinda drag their heels, wave their hands, and insist there’s nothing to prosecute him on.

      Meanwhile, we still have people in Guantanamo Bay from 20 years ago who have never stood trial.

        Merrick Garland is no longer attorney general. What do you expect him to do?

    “We have to block Huawei from selling telecom equipment to other countries to limit authoritarian control!”

    “We have to force countries to use our oligarchy controlled ISP to maximize authoritarian control”

    Honestly this just feel like that Mr Bean cheating meme it’s just looks so obvious

    You have to use force to get people to want to do business with this Nazi.

    Sorry, but I have to say it. What the heck does this have to do with technology? This is just US politics again.

    It has become abundantly clear that the US is now run by organized crime. How else can one describe all this?
