The MuskRat should get Big Ballz and the boys to program a video game, so he can have a new revenue stream to replace Tesla when it goes bankrupt, which sure looks like the future of that company.

This IS something. People can dismiss this as useless performative nonsense, but it is working. The stock bubble has popped, so the stock has lost over half its value, which has cost MuskRat a good portion of his fortune, and has also famaged the portfolios of many Sociopathic Oligarchs. The company image has cratered, and instead of feeling cool and superior in their Tesla, owners are uncomfortable, and drawing negative personal attention, just for driving it. They are also at risk for vandalism, or even destruction. New sales have plunged in America, and are almost non-existent anywhere else. Recovery looks VERY far away for Tesla, and bankruptcy actually looks more likely.

So The MuskRat is starting to panic about losing his most consistent income stream, and the administration seems to be noticing that citizens are organizing in groups large enough to start causing actual problems in the economy. Even other nations have joined. At this point, they think think they can win with threats, but that’s only making the opposition bolder.

Soon, the administration will declare an American citizen who vandalized a Tesla to be a Terrorist, and disappear them to the El Salvador torture prison. Then the Tesla protests will grow huge, and spread wider.

The administration is looking to incite violence at a major protest so they can declare Martial Law and suspend elections before the 2026 midterms. They can’t take a chance on the Dems flipping one or both chambers of Congress, and taking control of investigatory committees and legislation.

The Tesla protests will be the perfect opportunity for their nefarious plan. They won’t do it now, they’ll wait until next summer, just before the election, and let the protests grow. But I could be wrong. If you protest, stay alert, keep your head on a swivel, and have an escape route planned in case of serious trouble.

I was a 12 year member with nearly a million karma. I was permabannef right after the inauguration, for repeating an anti-HitlerPig opinion I’d repeating numerous times before he was elected.

I came to Lemmy and found out I wasnt alone, i was part of a bloodbath. I’ve seen posts from many people with 10+ year accounts who were banned. We’re the people who built that site, and made it what it was. Somehow we managed to be active for over a decade without a problem, but suddenly we all became violators in the same month, and need to be banned.

Now we find out Spaz wants to buy TikTok, AND The MuskRat threatened him. No doubt the threat was that if he had a prayer of being awarded the privilege of buying TikTok, he was going to have to obey, and violate Reddit’s foundational free speech mission. The classic Reddit is dead.

12 years, and almost a million karma, and I was permabanned soon after the election for repeating an anti-HitlerPig post that I had repeated many times BEFORE the electuon.

I was bummed at the smaller crowds on Lemmy at first, then I realized I didn’t have to scroll through dozens of puns, bots, trolls, idiots, etc. on EVERY post.

I habent seen anything like the bot action on Reddit.

I miss some great subreddits, especially a lot of cool guitar subs. I still look at them, but it does bother me that Im not able to give advice to new guitarists, or even tell luthiers how beautiful I think their guitars are.

Don’t feel bad, Reddit has been sliding for a long time. Lately, every thread started with dozens of bad puns, followed by Russian bots.

I used to visit certain subs just to out the Russian Karma Farmers. I got so good at finding them that finding them became almost a game. When I identified them, I would address them directly, I would identify them for everyone else in the thread, and make fun of their lame propaganda.

Then I would address their supervisor, and tell them that this guy was terrible at his job, that I clocked him within a few hours of his registration, and hed be better off at the beet processing factory. They would disappear almost immediately, with no pushback, confirmation they were frauds.

Lemmy has fewer people, but so far all we’re really missing is the worst of Reddit.

I was on Reddit for 12 years with nearly a million Karma, and I got permabanned soon after the Inauguration for repeating an anti-MAGA opinion I had posted numerous times before he was elected.

I came over to Lemmy, and discovered that I was only one victim of a bloodbath, demonstrating that Reddit had decided to forego their free speech mission, and grovel for their new masters. Pathetic punk ass corporation.

I never wore a Reddit shirt, but I’d happily wear a Lemmy shirt.

A lot of times its too much trouble to fiddle with the highlighting to catch the right spaces, and then drop it in the right spot. Its easier to just grab it, drop it, then edit the spaces.

I climbed the pyramid at Tulum in 1989. I hear its not allowed any more.

Excellent list.

Studies have consistwntly shown that the more education one gets, the more their political view skews left. It explains why colleges, staffed and managed by PhDs, tend to be left-wing. That’s why the Conservative Propaganda Machine has to constantly attack education.

Musk just makes shit up, we all know that. Slim has held the title of World’s Richest Man in past years, and Musk is probably just jealous and feeling threatened, so he’s lashing out.

He does childish things like that all the time. Back when he seemed like he was just an amazing tech innovator, before we knew who he really was, he offered to send a submarine to help rescue those Thai soccer kids who were stuck in a cave. It was impossible, there were pathways where it was nearly impossible for one person to navigate, there was no way for a submarine to do it.

So he was turned down, but he was really counting on being the guy to save the day, so he got pissed, and publicly called the guy who was leading the rescue a Pedophile, claiming that he was only trying to save the kids so he could molest them!

That was the moment that I lost nearly all respect for Musk.

True, but not good enough. Eventually there will come a billionaire who is even more psychopathic than all the others, probably some Nepo-baby who thinks he’s a super-villain-genius because he was smart enough to be born with money. That guy will truly wreck the world more than the current batch of billionaires will.

If we don’t end this power grab by the billionaires, and eliminate them from existence, now and in the future, it will ONLY get worse and worse, until it is the end of civilization.

You are forgetting that China and Russia are friends, and always have been. Sure, they have their dust-ups, but it’s never serious. Last summer they were having combined wargames along the Alaska/Canadian coast, and Russian and Chinese jets flew close enough to have our air command nervous. At the same time Russia was touting their alliance with North Korea.

I think the US will leave NATO, but NATO will not align with China. Instead, there will be a new alliance, and America will join Russia, China, North Korea, and a few others (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Hungary, Turkey, etc.) in a new Axis Of Evil.

That’s an excellent point. Trump is replacing all the competent people with loyalists, without remembering a basic fact: It is better to keep your potential enemy inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

All he has done is force all of his most competent leaders to join the opposition, as well as tens of thousands of inside operatives who are now unemployed, but know better than anyone how the system operates. There are are also a lot of people still on the inside, who hate what has happened to their workplace and their colleagues, and won’t be so compliant. They’ll be perfect moles for any espionage/sabotage.

Eventually they’ll get organized, and it will be the competent, motivated Patriots against the treasonous MAGA morons.
