The government is inefficient. I hope the U.S. moves toward less governmentâor at least less federal governmentâin favor of state governance. That way, social democrats could be happy in California with their undocumented immigrants, while Texas could be happy without illegal immigrants.

The preferences of the social democrats will probably end up winning out. They appear to be the dominant force in the U.S. We'll likely get the Trump whatnot for four years, and that's it. I'm in neither camp, so I kind of want to move. I don't have much hope for the U.S.âI love it, but...

MoribundMurdoch (@moribundmurdoch.bsky.social) reply parent
Almost nobody likes racism, but having stenciling that says "End Racism" in the end zone is so mawkish and lame. It doesnât resonate with the "dude's dude" psychographic; rather, it only appeals to bleeding-heart social democrats, Marxists, artsy types, and the like i.e. the NPR crowd.

Ideally, youâd want to minimize taxpayer expenses. To achieve this, youâd reduce the # of federal workers to the point where it lowers costs. If a federal program or job is popular, itâs likely that it could have been funded voluntarilyâunless, of course, social democrats are all talk & no action.

I guess if you wanted a government aid program like this, you'd need its cash flow to be conspicuously transparent, and its taxpayers would have had to explicitly vote for it. If it's effective or perceived as effective, then it's good soft power too. The USA is also heavily in debt so...

This appears to be an ad absurdum meme that constructs a hypothetical false binary, framing one side as representing everything good & the other as embodying everything sensible people agree is bad. Itâs political junk food, very much in the vein of The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters or John Oliver.
MoribundMurdoch (@moribundmurdoch.bsky.social) reply parent
The juxtaposition of that neo-fascist video with Elon's salute seems more convincing than comparing it to Hitlerâs salute, which looks quite different. Perhaps (one could argue that) Elon is familiar with both salutes but uses the neo-fascist one as a dog whistle, allowing for plausible deniability.

I have mostly libertarian leanings nowadays, and that's what I thoughtâminus the emotive whatnot. I also saw how actual Hitler did the salute versus Musk, and they appear quite different though.

The clip of Hitler doing the salute versus Elon Musk's attempt shows notable differences. The famous clip of the guy in red could probably mislead centrist people like me more effectively.

Technically, that's an ideological differenceâperhaps a more fundamental one, but still, it's fighting someone over an ideological difference. Again, in this hypothetical scenario, you'd be attacking someone simply because they say things you don't like on the internet.
