        At this point I’m thinking the only thing that’s going to restore our image on the world stage is if we go full Londo when the Vorlons were moving in on Centauri Prime.

          The destruction of the island of Selini was one of the greatest things Londo ever did as Emperor. I get the feeling, it’s also one of the only times he felt remorse at anything he had done, since he had to ask many Centauri to knowingly die to keep the illusion up. I’d like to believe that he gave Vir what Vir told Mr. Morden that he wanted from Mr. Morden as a form of penance.

          What Vir wants from Mr. Morden.

        Federal death penalty is still a thing and treason is a high felony.

        Tesla tubby should be getting the rope for his crimes. With his assets nationalized as the apology for his disgusting behavior.

    I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don’t deal with them, they’ll deal with you…

    There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

    ZERO TOLERANCE, motherfuckers!

        I feel like absent Hitler, they would not have self organized to put people in ovens. Whereas the workers would still have gone out and produced wealth (for another capitalist).

          Ugh… Hitler was just the tip of a sick society. Does this mean every German at the time was guilty? No. Were they all innocent except him? No.
          Does this still need to be debated outside of middle school? NO!

    These CEOs always claim they can’t do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I’d demand felon’s head for doing all this damn to my investment.

      It’s a meme stock, not an ‘investment’.

      And now Musk has parlayed it, and his various pyramid scheme-like companies into replacing as much of the US government as he can get away with with his junk.

      The US will suffer.

    For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

        No.

        This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

        Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

        I’ve known a number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They’re often quite kind-hearted, loving people. Musk is not. You don’t need to insult them twice by comparing Musk to them, and using hateful terminology while you do it.

        Maybe call Musk an asshole, a nazi, a shitass fucking fleck of rotten cumstain stuck to Trump’s taint instead.

            He’s definitely a Nazi cunt by Aussie definition. But lacking the warmth and depth, he fails to meet American criteria.

      Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn’t the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can’t provide for their families…

        food that won’t make them sick.

        and the rich are most sickening indeed.

        so it’s important to balance one’s diet after dining on roast billionaire.

          i’m european, i used to be a fan of thunderf00t too. but he became really really bad, he was an alt-right troll for awhile, and only really split from the rest of the pack because they didn’t agree with him about brexit.

          he is a pathetic, ignorant, quote-mining bigot who should be completely forgotten. being right about elon musk is a stopped clock being right twice a day situation. there are plenty of other channels which did a far better job of pointing out elon’s grifts without also posting 3,000 videos about how anita sarkeezian is the anti-christ
