If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US.

The Nazis murdered millions of jews because they needed a common enemy - but also in order to make my ancestors complicit in their crimes. So that they don't challenge the regime.
(While the rest of us have a disgust for.. well, fascists.)
To understand fascim I recommend Karl Popper's "The open society and it's enemies".
Surely you jest!
Thank you for drawing attention to the destruction going on here in the U.S.
Neo-Apartheid: separating via economic structures, then violently & brutally segregate.
Musk, MAGA & Trump want a slave class system where only rich white men under 40 have a chance to succeed. #utpol #resist
Excellent column, thank you.
The reason he and his cronies think that they can get away with stupid shit like this is because no one will check them.
So somebody needs to give him a good check.. in the face... Multiple times...

What will it take? Courage!
They do the country a disservice!
Hitler 2.0 has long been out of the bag!
“On Feb 7, Trump signed an EO to cut off aid to the country...because of its land reform laws...He went on to say that white South Africans should resettle in the US where they will be accepted as “refugees” because they have been “persecuted” by the predominantly Black regime”

& to prevent revolution.
Even something like universal healthcare leaves the underlying system intact.
This means progressive reforms are very minor wins or even losses in the big picture.
Things like obamacare make us complacent too

I grew up in the Jim Crow South. I spent my entire adult life struggling to fight against and the residuals. I will not retreat.
There’s nothing new about it, it’s the same old shit, and making it seem new may help give it new appeal. Neo-appeal, if you will.
I mean, let’s stop doing at least this, yeah?
and I feel like they're succeeding if we stay mesmerised by the sheer repulsiveness of them. Just want all the kids to have some kind of life before it's over, not be enslaved to these ass holes.
Thinking local, first aid, food storage, skills sharing...?
Nice work, MAGA. This is your doing. He hates you too and he will destroy you and the entire country eventually. Perhaps even the entire planet.
The people doing it were colonists who gained independence for a non-indigenous government.
They executed the lebensraum playbook for an Afrikaner nationalist in-group.
