Musk wasn't on the ballot.

Oh yeah, the Deep State totally exists, any day now the Deep State is going to stop Elon Musk and Trump, the only reason the Deep State hasn't stopped them yet is because the Deep State (which is definitely a real thing and would not include Trump and Musk, they given a seat at the council of Epstein but were refused the rank of Pedofile) is playing 5D chess and waiting for the right time to stop them. Any day now, Musk will be eating a ham sandwich or firing employees with DEI colored skin and WAM! The Deep State will return power away from poor working class freedom fighters like Musk/Trump and return it to the billionaire oligarchs AOC Luigi and Obama.

Or through buying your candidate's rug pull coins.

> I can't think of any decent reason why the money had to pass through the hands of the employer first.

Feudalism.

Also would be a fallacy to believe that his business's alleged successes are because of him and not despite of him.

His definition of "people" implicitly excludes the slave classes/races.

> One sees less of that, since apparently, when a government with strong leftist signaling does the same or worse, it's all for a decent if slightly misguided cause perhaps.

I'm wondering what they're talking about, since it seems like all mainstream media in the US already do what they claim?

For example, everything bad that happens in China/North Korea gets reported in the US, usually with no regard of if it's true or a baseless conspiracy theory, even good things such as constructing a billion miles of high speed rail per hour or turning deserts green is reported with headlines suggesting that you should think it's a bad thing.

So maybe they meant something that filters out sensationalism and misinformation and sticks to just the facts? Good luck fact checking the narrative NATO wants you to know without learning the languages of every "leftist" government of interest to you, and also not falling into somewhat obscure media outlets that are more often reactively contrarian to NATO propaganda rather than downstream of strong primary sources.

You could say what the fascists want is a post-industrial era caricature of Spartan society.

> The news media are still independent, for all that matters.

The media has bent the knee to Trump, a meteorologist was fired for critiquing Trump on her private Instagram, and an LATimes article's editors removed the article author's criticisms of Trump. You have to goto YouTube to find people openly critizing Trump.

> In the 1920s Russia was experiencing its first famine that could reasonably be attributed to communism

There were no famines in the USSR from 1947–1991, but there was a variety of considerations such as monarchy, civil war, 2 world wars, and anti-communist sanctions from the 1890-1947 period, so if anything, it appears that the evidence would imply communism ended the famines, not caused them.

Would love to see Musk tried for treason.

The capitalist class is probably the laziest class in the US, one of the loudest capitalist critics of so lazism even has a self-made 20 season documentary on how she does nothing all day.

From is pretty good.

I think some kind of automatic royalty would be a nice middle ground.

Probably competes too closely with whatever pay2win/lootbox microtransaction heavy shitware 40k games I keep seeing YouTube ads for.

This is virtue signaling and concern trolling until you post evidence that DeepSeek is doing worse than what ChatGPT does on Israel vs Palestine.

Some states recently enacted laws requiring teachers to snitch on students who request unauthorized pronouns to the nanny state.

> heroes

More like the Kardashians of the startup/tech/VC World. Fake gaming creds, claiming to work 80hrs/week while having 60hrs of tweets.

> wtf are you thinking

1. Wanted to buy a house (everywhere closer is either a ghetto or 100k+ more and usually both).

2. Not going to spend 6 additional months job hunting to micro-optimize commute.

There were no famines in the USSR from 1947 to 1991.

Probably has more to do with sanctions and the US spending shitloads of money to rebuild and trade with only the South.

China isn't going to send me to death camps for posting an authorized opinion. Most Americans don't care if China has any of our data and would prefer to be protected from US corporations than random far away countries with no physical reach.

I don't like Elon.

I'm not going to look up the original context of Elon's alleged lies, but from what's written here they just sound like long term project goals rather than formal lies (implying things like malicious intent or fraud).

If anything, maybe the only reason he didn't meet those goals is due to his social media addiction.

It's so obvious, from the title I thought the article would be about trusting B2B customers.

If Musk plans to uphold Communism in China and Democracy in the US, does that not mean "peace in our time"? WW3 pushed back 4 years? The alternative I've been hearing is that warhawks are being stuffed into the federal government this season.

> most of the movies/shows China creates sucks. They're Marvel-esque CGI fests with awful storylines.

since we're here, what are some of the least bad modern Sci-fi/Horror movies/TV shows from China?

The Switch is already the first 64bit Nintendo console since the N64, so calling the second one Switch 64 would be a wonderful farce.

They could have gone by release year (Xbox 01, Xbox 05, Xbox 10, etc.)

Or worse, "New Switch".

I think they could, and fundamentally won't because they can be accessed via VPN, but ultimately aren't necessary because those companies are not exactly interesting for any purpose but talking to Americans or studying Americans.
