    Once again: gruesomely killing Elon Musk isn’t a viable, practical, nor moral solution to preventing his dismantling of our federal republic.

    To answer your “straw-man” question and play your game: wildcat or general strike, armed revolution, or insurgency. Striking is the solution with the least potential bloodshed.

    Good luck trying cut up Musk with a machete or trying to fight the US military domestically which uses Predator drones armed with Hellfire missiles, not to mention fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft and Apache gunships. Even if you succeed getting to him and chopping him up, guess what? You’re still a psychopath because only psychopaths willingly dismember people.

    No, it’s not good to chop people up, no matter how much you hate them. Elon should be stopped. That’s it. Stop acting “hard” on the internet. It makes you look stupid.

    Edit: All the wannabe sicarios in the comments will wilt like the bitch-made invertebrates they are when actually faced with the prospect of dismembering a person. If they don’t, they’re psychopaths who need psychiatric treatment.














  • Banning Mein Kampf and other politically taboo books will never stop people from becoming authoritarian monsters. This pearl clutching about reading material seems to be endless.

    Of course, it shouldn’t be required reading for an average person. It should for someone who claims to be an expert on subjects that are directly related to it.

    If a counter-terrorism intelligence analyst doesn’t read the manifestos of their targets, they can’t do their jobs effectively and should be fired. Doesn’t mean that they secretly harbor a yearning for a “global caliphate” or bombing more federal buildings.

    Normal folks shouldn’t have to read “taboo” material, or anything for that matter (I had to read it for History class), but if they don’t and claim to be experts or pass themselves as authorities on said material, then they’re wannabe know-it-alls whose opinion about it is next to worthless.

    Why? Because they didn’t do the homework related to primary source material and are uninformed about the nature of what they purport to fight against. If reading only Mein Kampf turns you into a national socialist, then you were already a weak-minded idiot. And yes, Nazi Germany was a nation of millions of weak-minded idiots.

    My book reading club does not seem interested in that though, which is sad.

    This, right here, is a sign of stupidity.

    If one downplays or denigrates the importance of understanding opponents’ arguments or positions, that is a person incapable of critical thought. They’re not capable of informed decisions, and their opinions on the subjects or opponents in question are worthless.
