1. The assumption that people cannot care about two things at once: a false dichotomy.
2. The assumption that a dictator invading a sovereign nation in order to extinguish their democracy, seize their wealth, and abduct their children as breeding stock for further wars of aggression is the same as migrants looking for work and asylum-seekers fleeing war: a false equivalence.
The man is an idiot. He shouldn't own a social media account, never mind own a social media network.
Logic like the question: Is it quicker to New York or by bus?
Shut down the businesses (aka rich people) who exploit the migrants for slave wages and far fewer people would be motivated to cross the border.
But we don't talk about rich people. We talk about poor people.
Border burble is a distraction.
Or why it is clear that Musk is a Russian asset…
Dunno. Might Leon Musk possibly find that that Ukraine has actually been invaded by Putin's orcs carrying loaded guns across the Ukraine border, whereas the only thing loaded in connection with the US border is the language used by dog-whistling Republican polemicists.
@randahl @DemocracyMattersALot people who risk life and limp for a better life, escaping American guns in the hands of cartels supplying drugs to American users, who can’t do so legally, because of the American war of Drugs… versus people whose country was literally invaded and being bombed on a daily basis.
Ah yes, fuck you Elon! Both groups have a right to life and America has a moral obligation in both cases.
First step to leave Europe alone.
