Daniel Feldman"He's not a fascist, he's just a contrarian" they say, as he threatens to jail his own employees and also random scientists
what the duck@dfeldman A man of Musk's stature in society can never be a fascist. The media gatekeepers of the polite world will continue to move the goalposts as far as they have to in order to enforce this simple dictate. It is axiomatic: The ultra-wealthy can never be evil, and probably not even garden variety bad. The media types live in a sharply oligarchic social bubble and will twist themselves into completely impossible shapes to avoid seeing their lives or their roles for what they are.
Robert Thau@Chimneyswift @dfeldman There's a lot of American history that's well-recorded, but that we all just never talk about -- and certainly don't tell the kids -- mostly to whitewash the power structure. Like the "business plot" in which a bunch of tycoons hired the *wrong* general to stage a coup against FDR, replacing him with a pliant figurehead, which is what the German tycoons *thought* they had with Hitler.
The wrong general took notes and gave them to Congress.
