The horrifying moment for me growing up was realizing that if you can put together enough layers of indirection then you can get away with murder.
Shooting someone is a crime but denying them funding for life saving food or medical care? That’s just bureaucracy.

- Tesla Q1 profits down •71%• YoY - Earnings per share of $0.27 lower than analyst expectations of $0.41 - Without carbon credits, company would have posted an operating loss Bad as all that sounds for Tesla, keep in mind that this company regularly publishes falsified data. It hacked its odometers to push customers out of warranty. It wildly exagerrated Cybertruck orders. It almost certainly published fraudulent sales figures in Canada to get in on an expiring gov benefit. I’m assuming this dismal quarterly earning report isn’t reality, but is the rosiest lie they could manage to sell to investors. The reality is probably even worse. https://gizmodo.com/elon-sounds-extremely-depressed-after-tesla-profits-plunge-71-2000593013 #TeslaTakedown
Funny how this story didn't make the news in the UK.
When you're targeting the Quakers you have no moral high ground and are just State thugs shutting down dissent.

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
-Elon Musk, Feb 28, 2025
“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
-Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials

Americans are still in the dark about the scope and scale of what Elon Musk is doing with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, which is working to drastically shrink the size of government by aiming to cut $1 trillion or more in government spending.
I've told them in fairly plain terms what I think, and you can too if you go here:
