I swear Elon is jealous of the attention Ye is getting and trying to force himself into the conversation. He can’t stand when the conversation isn’t about him. Been noticing he usually does/says something stupid or outrageous if some other story is breaking

Int, Twitter HQ, Elon: Whenever Elon's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Elon?"

A reminder that fascist did not manage to make the trains run on time. It was done once for show, and then the trains were unreliable whenever the local fascist leader was not showing off for the cameras. A huge part of their economic recovery was a mix of stealing from untermensch and unsustainable debt-fueled government spending on ludicrous military buildups. By the time WW2 started, the wild military spending reached a point where the Nazis would have broken their economy if they didn't conquer and pillage at least one of their neighbors.

Failing to take him aside for a week for some intense Nazi Media Training was a very stupid mistake. They even got a 2nd chance at it after Tucker cleaned up after him by editing out all his jew-hating nazi poo poo.

Failing that, if it was clear that Kanye wasn't going to stick to the dog whistles, they should have told Alex Jones "hey man, this CAN NOT be live, you MUST tape this and edit".

Cool post. I was wondering if you could indulge me since you seem like a person to know such things. Years ago as a kid I watched a movie where the side of a bad guys head was missing skin and it was just just exposed bone. This wasn't something that happened in the movie, he was living like that. Would that be possible?

Since we're now in the era of remakes I really hope someone takes another crack at a Dick Tracy series/movie

It is an ever-pervasive myth that fascists make capable statesmen and administrators and I'm really not sure why. I guess they do produce propaganda which manages to outlive them.

And, I mean, forget about all the many historical records of malfeasance and straight up incompetence, just look at Trump, or the GOP, or Elon Musk, or whatever local right-wing morons inexplicably rise to prominence wherever you live. What have they produced but propaganda and tax breaks for the rich?

Kanye is far more blatant than Alex Jones has ever been with this poo poo, so of course Musk will be a huge hypocrite and not do poo poo.

Musk's lack of doing anything though will piss off the last few advertisers Twitter has, and that ban in the EU is definitely coming now.

Kanye dropping an interview where he pushes a Hitler wasn't so bad stance literally days after Musk re-platforms him and doubles down on his "free speech absolutism" is honestly so loving funny

The richest man in the world telling people: "Don't do what I did, I was wrong. Everybody should be following Christian principles. No I'm not giving you any of my ill-gotten money, that's your problem." is so very South African of him.

The republicans are so loving fortunate that this is happening now and not 12 months from now. It's still an incredible clusterfuck and lol @ them for having to try to figure out how to deal with this poo poo.

It's also horrifying seeing open anti-semitism getting willfully platformed, yeah.

I kinda agree with Kanye. Hitler got the motorways built and also got universal healthcare and public housing to work properly. He wasn't all that bad.

But also, he was loving Hitler! Jesus Christ!
