      1 month old account. Over 430 posts. Seemingly all of them simping hard for Elon Musk.

      What’s most terrifying is that they’re probably not even a paid shill. Chances are they’re either a troll or equally likely - cognitively captured, like millions of others, spewing repeatedly debunked falsehoods at every corner in a perpetual show of one-upmanship. And ultimately - trapped in a vicious circle of lies.

      This is the world they are building. This is the lobotomized reality that awaits all of us if we don’t figure out a way to build a sustainable, high-quality information environment.

          Our opinion is that we hate nazis and that you like them. Do you like nazis is the question you should be asking yourself.

          You are the person that says, “Hitler wasn’t that bad. He did a lot of good, like building the autobahn.”

          This is you.

              Where were you when the US terrorized the global south? When Coca-Cola sent death squads to kill union leaders? How about united fruit? Chile and Sept 11 1972? The school of the America’s. Iran 1959, Iraq 2002, Afghanistan same.

              Your outrage is definitely warranted because genocide is horrible, but your country has been doing genocide/destroying democratically elected governments for almost 100 years.

              And now you guys have voted in fascists and now the world has no peace because of it. You are directly responsible if you didn’t vote or voted for Donald.

              Global fascism or genocide in Gaza? Very hard choice.

                I was not born during many of the events you have described. I was protesting in the streets to opposed the war in Iraq though. The USA has a long documented history of invading foreign countries and or bringing democracy triggering regime change abroad.

                Whoever thinks the USA are the good guys is just drinking the kool aid.
