Look. You need a lot of people to actually fight this thing, millions actually, and it's preferable this fight happens while there's still a pretense of democracy left.

Yes, it's helpful to frame the fight around Musk to get the point across, and you can be as mean and threatening towards him as you want — but don't forget you're up against a whole system here, not just Musk! If someone actually did something to him, you'd get martial law the next day and everyone vaguely leftist would get shot in the head. You don't want that!

Get people on your side, organize, and attack the system, and do it as legally as possible. Make them (by which I mean the party, starting with local officials) afraid of how many of you there are. Use Musk as the symbol of evil around which to get people angry, don't advocate for someone to make him a martyr...

That I completely agree with!

You can't tell me the only form of resistance left right now is murder...

You say "destroy" but you mean murder. That's not okay. I know the Paradox of Tolerance, and it doesn't say to jump to straight-up murder. That should never be the first thought, it should be the worst case scenario.

I don't know, I'm principally against the death penalty. Don't get me wrong, I won't lose sleep if a nazi is granted an early exit, and it's of course fine to kill nazis in video games since it's not real. Also, I do like the revolutionary energy of those stickers, I understand where they're coming from (the goal is to make nazis afraid and I'm all in on that!). Still, they advocate for stuff outside of my morality. I'm fine removing power from nazis, by force if necessary (usually is because they're assholes who don't give a crap about the social contract) but I don't see killing anyone (or anything) as something to be desired, I can only agree with it when it's a self-defense/survival type scenario. I guess one exception would be if it's someone like Putin: well guarded, very difficult to apprehend, and kills people by the day for every day he's not stopped, so it kind of makes it a self-defense/survival thing even if it would have to be planned in advance.

I think it was this one which also got banned from Reddit:

No no, we still value free speech, just that yours isn't really speech, it's the woke mind virus. And that needs to be eradicated. So, you see, we're still free speech absolutists!

This is how they trick people.

Yeah, especially after he attacked the ADL for so long. Huge disappointment.

Yesterday for me too.

Also, seeing the post just now, I knew I recognized the picture but I couldn't remember why :)

Funny seeing Musk on this list after his "I'm just a consultant" bit.

Given the crap you can read on the White House website nowadays, I'm questioning more whether America is a real country, because it feels more like three fascist oligarchs in a trenchcoat.

like if the Onion was written by a bunch of bootlickers.

This is exactly what it is. Seth Dillon was also the guy who recruited the Libs of TikTok lady, if memory serves.
