Other democratic countries are so ahead of us. They punish people for attempted coups and don't reelect them. They arrest far-right extremists who are planning a violent coup. Over here, law enforcement just shrugs their shoulders.
It's not law enforcement. It's the Republican powers that be that shrugged when he was impeached BOTH TIMES. They have enabled the ending of 248 years of American democracy, no matter how many flags they wave or listen to Lee Greenwood.
It seems equally likely that Musk is a Nazi or that he’s too ill informed to have any idea what the AfD is like (or the humility to google it before spouting off).
Hmm, interesting timing, considering what happened in Magdeburg tonight, by an extremist who is reported to be smitten with AfD.
Did the Musk tweet come before or after the arrest?
He's trying to distract us. #PresidentMusk failed so spectacularly with the shut down that he needs a bigger controversy to distract the sane people. He's using chaos techniques perfected by #VPTrump
Almost 100 years ago, Germany jailed another right wing upstart, and his cohorts for trying to overthrow the government. And as we know, that ended the threat.
Members of Canada's CPC Conservative Caucus met and dined with AfD representative Christine Anderson in March of 2023. Because, of course, they were just in the neighbourhood.
Double "EE" Evil Elon's mother's side of the family were fervent NAZIs before they got the sh&t kicked out of them and they fled to "White" South Africa.
As a European and a native German speaker and someone who understands history, I am struggling to put into words the fury I feel that someone like an Elon Musk would take it upon himself to state that only a Nazi party like the AfD can save Germany… not that Germany even needs to be saved…
European and native German speaker here in the US. We've been dealing with these demagogues for some time now. Our only hope is that the incoming administration of sociopaths and associated self-serving fascists self-destructs, ideally before taking office. Godspeed!
Because the administration in power now is not inclined to do so. Its silence is infuriating. I’m sure it has the wherewithal to do something to protect what is left of our constitutional republic.
That phrase “need to be saved” seems like a right wing / nazi propaganda tool we are s
Hearing here in Canada too by the Conservative Party federal rep. Sick of hearing these A-hole$
I think so many people also don’t understand the basics of economic cycles and inflation and how it all works. It’s not down to one politician to magically decide to lower prices. Nor are the immigrants at fault. But most of the electorate be it in US or Germany or UK or elsewhere is sadly ignorant…
Even better... the stock has to struggle. Almost half of Tesla stock is owned by institutional holders (mutual funds, etc.). There needs to be a divestment movement against the company.
TCarlson did an interview with a “historian” who claimed Nazi extermination of Jews was “humane”. Disgusting. He failed to mention the human experimentation… Elon Musk, shithead that he is, tweeted it was an interesting interview, worth a listen. Apartheid Elon’s family has a Nazi party history!
2/ West had to put loads of money into East’s infrastructure, close nuclear power plants (not meeting West’s standards), update buildings and so on. So West felt a monetary drain. Both sides have some resentment. Eastern far right parties began to emerge & have continued to grow.
1/ Thuringia (formerly in EGermany) has a long history w/ Nazi party, 1920s. After East/West reunification, there was some animosity btwn them. East felt looked down upon, not as wealthy, some more highly educated left for West. So many felt EGerman communism wasn’t as bad as made out to be.
The man, identified by prosecutors as Jian G, was accused of “an especially severe instance” of espionage, prosecutors said, following his arrest in the early hours of Tuesday morning. It comes after the arrests of three German citizens accused of industrial spying for China in return for payment.
ah, but the AfD is very careful to keep their opinion of Yiddish Jews to themselves; therefor the German police consider their movement "legal," right?
so crazy that this guy walks around wearing all black openly supporting nazi politicians, and our broken media can't even muster on single question about it to him or his sychophants like Trump, Rand Paul, RFK Jr, etc.
Same old Maggie, she never has had, or ever will have, a spinal cord. It's infuriating that she is labeled as a journalist when all she is is a PR secretary/stenographer for fascists
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."

Anybody sick of Elon Musk yet? This is what happens when people who no nothing about how government works elect a pariah as President, the rest of us get stuck with the floaters who circle the bowl.💙
Luigi comes from a wealthy elite family. He has more in common w/Elon than not. So no we don’t need more angry white privileged men who can’t handle their frustrating truth anything other than destroy or violence.
Yes, bc he simply disappeared. They filled a police report bc he disappeared out of the blue-that’s not sane behavior. Nothing says he stopped contact bc his family was wealthy & bc he’s now a man against the corrupt system he has to avoid them bc he’s sees them as part of it.
I find it odd that ALL the blame is being put on CEOs when repubes continuously vote against things like Medicaid expansion. No one talks about that! How good your insurance, healthcare and access is is very very highly dependent on the state you live in.
Still preaching Luigi hate. Your disillusioned take on the matter leaves me believing your paid for online interactions on some CEO bot farm. I "CALLOUSLY" disregard your "CALLOUSNESS" Little Lisa
I read an article a while ago on how the US historically has to fight fascism every ~80 years, right around the time that the people who remember how bad fascism was the last time ...
die off.
The Strauss-Howe generational theory backs this up, although I think the math is a bit off because people have children at an older age, and we seem to be labeling generations more frequently than the time it takes people to reproduce on average. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory
It works well as a framework, don’t get bogged down in the details.
I first read the book almost 20 years ago and thought 9/11 was the beginning of the Crisis period, but if that were the case, we’d almost be out of that era now, so I guess it was more of an Unraveling, which also makes sense.
The richest man in the world believes that the party that keeps getting embroiled in Nazi plots and scandals—completely accidentally, of course; I mean, I’m as shocked as you are!—is Germany’s only hope. Can’t believe this is where we are.

The turning point was when he got away with defaming a cave rescuer in Thailand. From then on he’s felt free to do and say whatever he wants with no fear of consequence.

Musk/Trump = "White Rule Dictator"
Why can’t we destroy them?

Sound familiar?

The AfD is hardcore Nazi.
Elon Mush simps for Nazis.
Elon may need to be removed.
From Earth.
Soon.
A la Eiger
right - we missed our chance.
should have arrested Trump and the Sedition Caucus on 7-Jan-2021 and began the prosecution immediately.
shame on Biden and Garland and Wray.
they gave us up for expediency.

History repeats and repeats and repeats...
Callousness of a living, breathing human being’s life is callousness of life-ppl just justify what they believe.

This is exactly the detailed examination I was looking for

I critiqued a book by a Harvard Prof who based his theory of cycles on the Protestant ethic.
Dig a bit deeper .. you will find the flaw.
Someone else replied with this, which further rounds out your very valid point:

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
US population in 2024: who needs schools, we have the Internet!
Far too many prefer -
circuses to reading
fear to compassion
greed to empathy
and they are all the poorer for it.
Sadly, so are the rest of us.
