As we watch Elon Musk slide into rightwing radicalization in real time, I’m reminded of this 1941 piece by Dorothy Thompson.
“Who goes Nazi?”
In short: it is the people who love money and status and power that are at risk.
Those who resist the urge are the people who have a solid family life; a job they love for the work, not the money; a moral framework based on pluralism and equal access to opportunity.
Worth a read. #nazi #Twitter #liberal
Musk, Trump, West, are just farts that come before a great shit, for they are clearly clowns.
Something wicked this way comes.
@ktdoggett @protecttruth Hitler was widely written off as a clown too.

Why did the elites of Germany so consistently underestimate Hitler? Possibly because they weren't actually wrong in their assessment of his competency—they just failed to realise that this wasn't enough to stand in the way of his ambition.
It ain't the same today.
We aren't suffering the financial pain that Germans were after WWI.
It's plainly artificial angst that wealthy interests are trying to foist upon the unwitting.
There is nowhere near even a plurality of such people.
There is no comparison to Hitler that I am even acknowledging.
Whatever, dude.
I don't even know you.
