    The political spectrum is fake bullshit made to divide the working class. The only ideology of the oligarchs is the acquisition of wealth, and they will assume any political persona in the pusuit of it.

      Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.

      • George Orwell, 1984

      The practical ethos of every authoritarian in history (including the self-styled “champions of the proletariat”) is:

      It’s not just that I have a lot; it’s that I must always have more than everyone else, and they must be compelled to desire this. Forever.

    Like many, he was a right-winger until he became the victim of the right wing. Suddenly he became the most extreme example of the “woke” activists he used to attack.

    Your commitment to long-term civilizational success, Elon, is not universally shared

    It’s not even the majority position

    What you call the “woke mind virus” cares about one thing only: equality

    The levelers want to destroy everything because in the rubble we will all be equal

    It’s not about fucking left and right – It’s a class war. Did you ever hear about the French, or maybe even American, Revolution? Dethrone the King, aka the ruling class.

    Haven’t heard that he’s a right-winger, but he is a prep school valedictorian, Ivy League graduate, grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, who did his tech job remotely from Waikiki. Solid working-class stock.

    Right winger means “person who shoots CEOs”? Well tattoo a swastika on my forehead and call me traditional because I love right wing ideology now.

    I’m not necessarily convinced either, it does seem really convenient how they found him.

    Apparently, the left is only willing to set fire to themselves for “protest,” while it’s the right-wingers that are actually willing to off capitalist parasites.

    The old anarchists must be turning in their graves.
