Does everyone understand they are breaking of public services because 1) they want to privatize them to make money off of them, 2) they do not believe everyone should have access to these services. This is how white supremacist eugenicists who think empathy is a weakness function. - ThreadSky

Love your handle. I wouldn’t have recognized it if I hadn’t read that wonderful Taylor Branch trilogy on the civil rights movement recently. That needs to be a touchstone for all of us now.

Except for the $$$ folks.. everyone will get hit. They want us as indentured servants.. work 2 or 3 jobs.. taxes.

Elon Musk should get his unelected ass out of American politics period

iansimmons1960.bsky.social•14 hours ago

But also Accelerationism, the tech bros like that. The idea that civilisation as is needs to collapse totally so a new world order can arise. Musk is deliberately collapsing America. He may not like what he gets afterwards. In crisis people tend towards mutual self organisation not strong leaders.

Musk etc expect to emerge from their secure bunkers to be post apocalyptic titans. In fact it's more likely they'll be smoked out and hunted down like fat animals in the winter

He's not a strong leader either way, just some stock wealthy prick with no survival skills.

iansimmons1960.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Absolutely, but in his own delusional vision....

anyone thinking they should privatize the postal service has never sent a letter by Fedex or UPS.

They have also never looked at how well privatisation worked for the Royal Mail.

Worse service, higher prices. Same as every other service we've privatised.

Nationalize SpaceX!

It's also just the basic philosophy of the oligarch/elite capitalist class, which definitely skews white. Then, of course, the way to make a profit is to cut service and quality while raising the price to consumers. Classic capitalist MO. Public services should be public, not private for-profit.

Privatization only gives bad service and rich private companies. All this is not an efficiency issue, it’s about braking the government. Soon your government will not work for you.

After we privatize SpaceX and Tesla

Corpocracy. The fastest route to fascism. I will keep saying this. Scream it. Tell your reps. Tell your Senators. Our democracy is not for sale

If you don't understand this: Please read Cedric Robinson's Racial Capitalism body of work. Learn how capitalism is intertwined with white supremacy. You cannot talk about capitalism without talking about racism, white supremacy & anti-blackness.

💯 We shouldn't even be talking about democracy in this country without talking about capitalism. Capitalism arrived before "democracy," on the same ships as those in bondage, thus☝🏽.

tbf I am thinking of how we could nationalize several of his businesses after he's thrown in jail for his vast illegal behavior & tax fraud

They don't care about democracy, they care about making sure there is NO democracy. Amtrak is a money loser, that's just distraction. They want the post office so they can determine what shows up in your mailbox, ie. ballots

It's gonna be hyperloops and Xdelivery from now own, both ran by xAI

I saw someone referencing empathy as being associated with women, so this also tracks with their weird gynophobia and desperate need to call themselves masculine by not having normal human emotions. Plus, the grift.

These will be the same type of people to eventually charge for air, sunlight, not living in the cancer zones, etc.

It’s frustrating because people like us have been beating this drum since at least November (earlier if you count project 2025)

kristyrawson.bsky.social•15 hours ago

People have been beating this drum for DECADES. The only reason they have a real chance of privatizing USPS and Amtrak is that they've already succeeded in breaking the institutions - through defunding - to the point the the public won't rally to save them.

sitkaworldsfair.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Many parties with unclean hands, but a special thank you to Senator Susan Collins for her role in wrecking the postal service back in 2005.
