The through line between the Musk shadow presidency and the Miller shadow presidency is that the entire term so far has been an effort to act as if the things that dumb people believe about US government are actually true and make policy accordingly

People before: “if I lived in 1939 I would be a radical freedom fighter! I would be beating up Nazis in the street! Brown shirts would see me coming and run!”
Those same people today: “i don’t like Musk either guys but vandalizing teslas is only hurting our cause.”

Somehow, I’ve never blocked a single person on here and all the messy posts still show up as “blocked.” I got on a blockchain somehow, but fucked if I know why or how.

You refuse to go over to your neighbor's barbecue simply because everyone there is wearing klan robes and flying swastikas? Barbecues can, and should be, a healthy way to build community.
