@HobbitShe@andruchk@trouble_man90 Claiming authority on Nazis because your relatives were killed by them? I agree.
The commonality between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union is that they were both repressive TOTALITARIAN regimes. I live in Coastal Maine. Iโve heard Platner and know people like him. Not a Nazi.
@TomG61356162@FUDHelpdesk@BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX@RoKhanna Dude, walk away from the screen for a couple of hours. Go have a drink with a friend, watch a movie, get a haircut. I guarantee nothing earth shattering is gonna appear on X in the four or five hours youโre not staring at it.
@TomG61356162@FUDHelpdesk@BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX@RoKhanna DOGE. Musk spent $250M electing Trump, then ran a shadow agency with no congressional auth, accessed Treasury & SS records, cut programs Congress funded. Trump winning โ democracy โ that includes separation of powers. Buying your way into government is oligarchy.
@HobbitShe@andruchk@trouble_man90 Well, mine were killed off by the Russians, and whoever was left was exterminated by the Nazis. Now, if youโre quite satisfied playing โthe biggest loserโ, the point stands that Platner is no fascist and Iโll be voting for him a second time in November.
@renegoupillaud@FUDHelpdesk@BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX I suggest you look into how the ultrarich actually grow their wealth. Elon has paid approximately 1% of his 1.2 trillion in wealth in taxes. There is no poor person in this country who gets away with paying 1% in taxes.
No. Not just โselling stuff to the government.โ
Some of it is contracts. Some of it is tax incentives. Some of it is abatements, grants, public infrastructure, regulatory support, and guaranteed government demand.
Different labels. Same public role.
SpaceX built impressive things. Nobody serious denies that.
But this is why taxing extreme wealth matters. At a certain point wealth stops being just a reward and starts becoming power over policy, infrastructure, markets, and government itself.
Tax policy isn't a punishment on success.
Itโs a check on power.
The public helps build the launchpad, then one man gets stand on it and people are treating him like the country owes him a throne.
Let's all come down from the clouds and back to Earth.
@BillAckman@BernieSanders@elonmusk@SpaceX And all the while, paying around 1% of his wealth in taxes back to the society that made him a trillionaire. Yes indeed, itโs time for billionaires like Bill Ackman to rejoice.
@JonahDispatch Pearson, Sacklers, Schwarzman, Kravitz, Adelsons, โฆ, didnโt cure cancer.
No Nobel winner (Salk, Banting & Best, Karikรณ & Weissman, Borlaug,โฆ) is a billionaire.
Billionaires extract enormous private wealth from systems other people depend on: medicine, housing, financeโฆ
@HobbitShe@andruchk@trouble_man90 If weโre doing personal histories, then most of my family was killed by the Nazis.
Heโs had thousands of unfiltered Reddit posts and in none of them does he say anything close to approving of Nazis. Itโs actually the contrary.
@NikkiHaley And if someone blows up your home (which I am definitely against) would you accept their explanation that they were just going after the carpenter ants there who were destroying it, but not anyone actually living there?
@BeRegener8ed@GovMikeHuckabee Donโt believe Huckabee. He has no idea what never again means. Never again means for everybody. His only concern is some end times dystopian biblical, ahistoric paranoid preacherโs ramblings.
@jfolksie@GovMikeHuckabee@PamelaGonsalv13 That is why you donโt understand what never again means. Itโs not about Jews. Certainly not so that we can play a part in your demented dystopian end times fantasy.
@GovMikeHuckabee You donโt have a damn clue what never again means. And showing an AI generated photo just shows youโre a political hack with an evangelical desire to see Jews destroyed as a part in your religious dystopian fabrication.
@ChristieH60@andruchk@trouble_man90 Absolutely. Because he spent years on the Internet, expressing his opinion on everything. Never once has he said a favorable word about Naziism. Nor has he denigrated Jews, quite the opposite. Look at the entire record not just what you want to see.
