For years the right has fed on conspiracy theories about the “globalist billionaire” Soros buying our democracy. Yet when Musk actually does it, it’s crickets.

What are you guys waiting for to stop the destruction of your democracy? Civil war? Military coup?
Serious question.

@georgetakei The only real difference is who the money is going to. When politicians get bribed it is treated as normal, when billionaires bribe the general public directly it is somehow new. A million dollars would be life-changing for me.

@georgetakei How long do democratically elected governments of the free world still want to embarrass themselves by staying on Musk's 21st century Xquivalent of the late "Völkischer Beobachter"?

@georgetakei it's not about democracy, it's about intention and Soros was accused to subvert the western society.

@georgetakei
Yes, because the Soros nonsense is an anti-semitic dog whistle.
Merely consistent behaviour for Nazis.

@georgetakei and ive yet to hear any conspiracy theory abt elons brain chip company either
like musk is the perfect fuel for conspiracy theories but theres nothing like that abt him
Content Warning
@georgetakei To some extent, I suspect it's the normalizing effect of his brazenness. Soros isn't visibly doing anything, therefore whatever he is doing must be nefarious; Musk can't be doing anything wrong, because he's clearly not afraid of being caught.
That plus Musk isn't Jewish.
Content Warning
@georgetakei Well, Musk is not Jewish. There's a lot of antisemitism fueling antiglobalist rhetoric.

@georgetakei It was never about facts. Those were simply tools to throw away.
It was always and only about power. Nothing but power.
The words, ideologies, etc. They mean nothing.

If Scott had any balls he'd donate it to trans-support groups in Elon's weird name.

We can only hope the wise Wisconsin people will see through this blatant bribery and vote for Judge Susan Crawford.

@georgetakei Pennsylvania don't be duped by the fascist lunatic trying to buy your vote, again.

@georgetakei
Yes, I’ve noticed that any number of times far right billionaires have been funneling money for ages into the political process and for some reason the far right doesn’t care
They know who their sugar daddy’s are

Musk should be in prison. If they don't have laws, we don't have laws, though, so why should any of us do anything they say.

@georgetakei America now more than ever needs its own lenin and its own Stalin. It's own people's power movement. It's own professional revolutionaries. Trump is the symptom of the cancer of capitalism. The inevitable outcome of 45 years of reaganism. Neo liberalism. The anti communist fascism of the cold war. Starting with Truman.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
