Not OP, but I apply it equally. Fuck Islam. Anyone following the religion is a backwards pedo-worshipper.

Happy?

He knows how to do "My heart goes out to you". The Nazi salute was intentional:

Throwing around Nazi salutes is normal? Are you writing this from an evil mirror universe?

You should pay more attention: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40847963

Congress won't do any of those other actions either, because as mentioned, they're chock-full of sycophants.

They're both blub languages, designed to be simple and boring but with lots of grafted-on cruft from the designers not realizing that complexity is a waterbed.

Have you not been paying attention? The president is above the law according to the current Supreme Court, and Congress is stuffed full of sycophants that will never impeach him.

That take is so naive it hurts. Musk will siphon more money to himself than anybody before, because he's destroying any checks on his ability to loot the government.

Musk is looting the government for personal gain as part of a coup. What is happening right now is bad, full stop.

You can advocate for more transparency and tamping down on corruption, but this is not how you do that.

You realize that you're pushing a narrative just as much? Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la" isn't the "neutral position".

This is a Wikipedia article about you:

Sadly, there were enough people like you to enable a fascist coup.

This is not how to accomplish that. Musk is looting the government for personal gain and installing lackeys that are loyal to him.

Musk doesn't give a shit about any of that waste. People aren't pro government waste, they're anti political grandstanding about meaningless crumbs as a distraction while a literal nazi-saluting fascist eats the rest of the pie.

That's a factual statement.

The TSA needs to be abolished, but that has no bearing on 18F or other government agencies.

It's astounding that this is crystal clear, and yet you still have people like the sibling commenter trying to find ways of defending Musk. It reminds me of the quote comparing Libertarians to cats:

> Libertarians are like house cats in that they are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don't appreciate or understand

People like that shouldn't be allowed to vote. I don't actually believe that, but it's hard to watch Idiocracy happen in real time and watch low-information people cheer it on.

> Elon is competent

You fundamentally misunderstand reality. The other wrongs of your comment flow from that.

You can talk about achieving smaller government while also rejecting the corrupt billionaire looting the federal government for personal gain while throwing around literal Nazi salutes

We need separation of corporation and state enshrined in the Constitution, if it's not too late.

Did the platform include tidbits like "DOGE will trust sensitive personal information of millions of Americans to lackwits that got already fired for leaking personal information"?

> If the President can't execute his mandate [..]

"Executing his mandate" doesn't mean "doing a whole bunch of dumb shit while ignoring the rule of law and becoming a puppet to an unelected piece of human garbage".

You don't really understand politics.

Democrats, i.e. politicians associated with the DNC, are generally fine with this because they've been bought out by corporate interests, which expect to profit under fascism.

Your average person is very concerned, for very good reason.

He's doing it for power, which enables wealth acquisition. Shutting down regulatory agencies that would prevent him from exploiting people for even more gain is the same as a paycheck.

Don't let someone "fix" things that is clearly looting the government for his own gain as part of a coup. There are endless ways to address your concerns without supporting someone throwing around literal nazi salutes.

That's a weird take. Given your other comments in this thread, you have ideological blinders on.

People are worried because Musk is doing whatever the hell he wants, dismantling power structures that could oppose him, and installing lackeys that are loyal to him. He won't face consequences for doing anything illegal because he has a puppet in the White House that the Supreme Court says has absolutely authority to pardon him for anything.

This is a naked power grab, and must be treated as such.

Sometimes I want to meet the person on the other side of the screen making comments like this, just to be amazed at how much stupidity can be contained in a single person.

They're doing sly things with snaps, like automatically installing the snap when you try to apt install something. I wouldn't put it past them to try to reinstall snapd without notification. It's easier to just move to a system you can trust.

I don't think you've changed your position. Reading the thread, your mention of 30% is super misleading and you should've lead with how little progress has been made instead of chastising people correctly upset with the lack of progress.

As much as you're chiding people for being a part of a "misguided popular uprising", you're not really making a good case for anti-amyloid therapies. It started at "wow, 30%!" in this comment chain, and now it's at "barely having an effect over a placebo" being tremendous progress?

The sheer volume of uncopyrightable work will soon kill the system. Let us dance on its corpse

We can change "war" to mean "peace", "freedom" to mean "slavery", "ignorance" to mean "strength", and "man" to mean "woman". We shouldn't, though. Some meanings are worth preserving, because they have deep legal implications.

The missing piece of the puzzle is that the DNC does not represent the people, it represents corporations who are just fine with Trump. Your average person is very concerned and is likely to think that Trump does represent a very real danger to democracy. The corporate apparatus that is the DNC made some noise about it to see if they could rile people up into voting for them and that failed.
