Came here to fix the headline, glad someone beat me to it! Stop coddling and start calling people out for who they are. If it walks like a Nazi and quacks like a Nazi, it’s a Nazi
But not in the ways that matter to them. Fascism was characterized by nationalizing private enterprises to transfer wealth and power from the government to the chosen elite. They want to privatize government enterprises to transfer wealth and power from the government to the chosen elite. Totally different, you see?
Nazi Germany privatized a lot of government services and industries from the Weimar Republic.
Indeed, because the fucking Nazi bastards needed the industrialists to rebuild the German economy and more importantly, the war machine.
But I thought geese honk
It took me a while but I got there in the end.

And you don't know which of the two in the pic they're referring to without reading the article.
His grandparents were Nazis. His parents intentionally moved to Apartheid South Africa where they ran illegal emerald mines. He's said he needs H1B visas because he wants to drastically overwork his "employees" and if they're not on H1B visas they'll leave. Is anyone at all surprised by this?
The only reason wealth makes someone powerful is what other people are willing to do for some of that wealth.
If everyone that wasn't a Nazi decided they won't do business with a Nazi, his wealth wouldn't mean anything.
For some reason lots of idiots keep using Twitter tho
I dont even know anyone who uses it
I don't know anyone intelligent that does, but the dumbass kid at work obsessed with Fortnite does for some moronic reason.
The Most Powerful Man in America is a Nazi Sympathizer
So is their newly elected president. What's new?
We're talking about the same person here, President Musk
Which one are we talking about?
Yes
9 ppl sit at a table. comes a nazi and sits down with them. nobody stands up. bam:10 nazis sit at the table.
the american voter has already taken half of those seats.
Again.
Wouldn't be the first time. But it ought to be the last.
Unfortunately people weren't convinced to get the fuck out and vote so. Y'know.
In b4 missing baby.
I'm gonna be so fucking upset if I actually called this one...
What does "missing baby" mean?
A horrible reference to a terrible tragedy surrounded in conspiracies featuring another rich and powerful Nazi.

Neoliberals complaining about people not wanting to vote for neoliberals just always reminds me of "nice guys" upset women picked the bear.
You don't understand why they made that decision, and rather than try to understand why so that you could better yourself, you're gonna keep stomping your feet for years saying only an idiot would pick a bear.
Which is normally true.
Except the only option is you
So while being marched to the gulag you're the guy that turns to the guy next to you and proudly proclaims "don't blame me, I voted for the bear". How bold

Its weird these days. Parties that some call as nazi, are praising, and supporting putin, who is an ex-KGB agent, praising stalin, and trying to re-build the soviet union. Most of the "right wingers" now support putin, AFD too (and putin supports them too, to destabilise democracies).
It's really only surprising if you somehow still believe that Putin is not a fascist dictator. You know, like Stalin.
Putin is not communist even a little bit.
Correct. He's fascist.

And you know what we do with nazis.
Elect them to the highest office.
No no no wrong direction, America!!
if only Dem neolib leadership had taken "the most important election of our lifetimes" a tad more seriously..
Yeah, it's their fault America voted for Hitler... Again.
Kind of is, yeah. As folks never tire of pointing out, the American electoral system only permits two major parties. As a basic principle, they're occupying one of those slots, so it is their job to stop the other party. If they lack the juice to do it, then they should step aside and let somebody else have a crack at it. It's part of the bargain that if they want to hold onto the power, they've gotta take some blame.
Spoiler alert: He's not the "most powerful man in America".
Here's an interesting discussion on Vox of what he might run up against in the new administration, specifically squaring off against Baby Goebbels.
His political power is premised in large part on the supposition that his following on X is authentic. Given his interests in AI, self-professed belief that Twitter, as it used to be called, is overrun by bots, and ownership and control of X, is there any reason to believe that this is true? How do we know that his human following hasn't declined precipitously since his hard-right turn and been steadily replaced by bot accounts?
I know, you'll say "but--richest man--can buy politicians" and I say yes, but only on credit which could get yanked away at any time, should his following be revealed as inauthentic. His net worth is premised mostly on stock shares in a company with serious problems (which he is doing nothing to solve) facing stiff competition in a troubled niche industry (the electric car market). He had to borrow huge amounts of money in order to buy Twitter because he does not have the cash and if he were to sell that much money in Tesla shares it would cause an investor panic and precipitous decline in his net worth.
And so now we can see why he likely had to buy Twitter; he probably had no choice: the company was likely about to expose or tamp down on his fraudulent and bot-driven following, which would create loss of investor confidence in his brands, which is the only thing propping them up given their weak fundamentals. The Emperor has no clothes, folks.
Crazy how this keeps happening
Hey, don't forget his pet, he's a Nazi too!
