It’s on his head this time around.

Oh, I agree, it’s just fun to say.

I regret I only have one up vote to give you.

We’re not talking about the rise of fascism. It took decades for that to ferment in Germany and Italy as well.

We’re talking about when they seize power. Then they make their move.

We’re talking about the powergrab of fascists once they’ve laid the groundwork.

That’s the part they need to move lightning fast to achieve a result, before resistance can organize against them. That’s the part in history we’re at right now.

It feels awful to have someone completely change what they want out of life from under you. Know that he’s probably been trending that way for a while, and it just took a while for him to bring it to words.

You’re going to get angry with him soon, but what you’re feeling right now is normal. You’re dealing with grief, and there’s stages. They’re going to take months-years to work through. That’s how this shit works.

There’s no substitute for time.

Take how long you were together and roughly 1/3rd of that is your recovery time before you’re going to have this as a distant, faded, annoying memory of a time before you were stronger and a more capable partner.

If you let yourself, you can use this as an opportunity to get stronger. I know it feels like the two of you were perfect for each other, and that you’ll never find someone as special as him again, in all the ways that matter to you; and you’re right, you won’t, because you’ll find someone that will be even more special and will really get you.

You just have to hang in there and give this some time to work through. Don’t go rushing into another relationship imo, I’ve done that and it feels great in the moment, but all it does is delay your healing from this relationship even more. It will make your next breakup even worse, and then you’re trapped in a cycle.

Take some time for yourself, give yourself a minimum of 6 months before you think about or start dating again. Nobody is emotionally ready for that out of the gate unless they’re sociopaths.

You’ll know when it’s time. It’ll feel right. I promise.

Until then, hang in there, and best of luck on the anger phase of this, that was a rough one for me and lasted longer than I care to admit before I learned to let it go.

Fascism only has one speed: Blitzkrieg.

Any other speed would be slow enough for people to have enough time to band together and organize a resistance to this horseshit.

That’s literally the only playbook. Break everything: Go fast. Hit people with so much horseshit they are still stuck trying to process the one from 2 weeks ago, because since then 5 other constitutional crisis’ have happened and now they’re deporting both of your neighbors.

It’s because of the brain damage.

America.

And my dad.

Sure it can, just look at Wikipedia. But it’s probably a good idea to have some alternate forms of revenue generation.

But he despises trump, so at the moment, enemy of my enemy…

He believes it, he just doesn’t practice it.

Like most men in power, they use it as a way to get close to people they can assert their power or dominance over.

I think he believes he’s actually a feminist. it’s a subtle difference, but an important one. He genuinely believes he’s a good guy and the things he does helps more women than it hurts.

That’s why he’s a piece of shit and so dangerous. He believes his own lies.

Gates and Jobs were ruthless business owners, but as least they’re not Nazi supporting fascist dickheads.

It’s not a very high bar, but it is a bar.

This is exactly how supply and demand works.

That inspector is about to get a bunch of death threats from the MAGA cult I suspect.

Yup, agreed.

Even in this case. It means that multiple systems have failed miserably. This is a byproduct of that.

Yes, he’s a complete piece of shit that no by will likely miss and deserves the death sentence he’s like going to get, but that means justice and the educational system are very, very broken right now.

obviously. But that’s not a good thing overall

Except he’d still be in america.

I wish I could criticize, but as an American…

They never stopped

I’ll clarify for everyone who’s gotten this far down then and make it as straightforward as possible:

Musk should be hated for the things he’s done and the people he’s hurt in the world, not for his illicit drug use.

People wanting to conflate and jump on his drug use as if that explains everything awful he’s been doing are feeding into the idea that drugs make everyone crazy Nazi assholes somehow. That’s just not true. Drug use is awful for the people it affects and hurts, but it doesn’t reduce the value of a life, or turn people into Nazi assholes unless they were like that way all along.

We should call out Musk’s terrible ideals, his upbringing, his roots, his exploitation of billions of people in the world, his lack of empathy, his fraud, his market manipulation, his fucked up family views, his shitty fathering, etc. etc.

His drug use is only exacerbating that. It’s not the cause. The cause is he’s a truly fucking awful person who should stand trial for his crimes against humanity.

His abuse of Ketamine, E, Adderall, etc. is unrelated. We should not conflate those.
