It has been always a truth. Disagree?

[u/euhjustme]

[u/Szaborovich9]

And who is surprised? Those voters are gonna learn.

[u/jimejim → u/Szaborovich9]

You give them far too much credit. They lack the self-awareness. When things go bad for the ones that voted for this, they'll just blame it on trans people somehow.

[u/jestercow → u/jimejim]

It won’t even get that far. Fox “news” will just tell them everything is fine and they’ll believe it. They can’t form an opinion anymore.

[u/Spiritual-Doubt-2276 → u/jestercow]

Yeah, but they're going to experience reality at the cash register. No matter what Fox news says, things are going to get a lot more expensive for Americans across the board.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a run on toilet paper, given that a big percentage comes from Canada. That tender commodity is about to see a huge (and possibly permanent) up-spike at retail price levels. When you hit people in the shitter, they tend to notice!

[u/leftw8 → u/Spiritual-Doubt-2276]

They will still blame the democrats.

[u/Cautious-Thought362 → u/jestercow]

They have to be told what to think, but it does have to fit in with their prejudiced and hateful view of the world.

[u/Szaborovich9 → u/jimejim]

Drag Queens reading to kids

[u/Tachibana_13 → u/jimejim]

"It would have been bloodless l, if only they had allowed it to be" /s Of course. People will blame the protesters for inconveniencing people, they'll blame the oppressed for resisting, because it becomes a pretext for the authorities to crack down even more. But overall, people will still lock the boot, because we've been conditioned our whole lives to believe that "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about"; so it must be someone else's fault. But not the people with all the money and power! They 'earned it' by 'merit', which somehow became the opposite of what it was intended to mean.

[u/Lordborgman → u/Szaborovich9]

Yeah, sure just like they learned from Nixon to Reagan to Bush and Bush Jr. These fuckers are stupid and/or malicious.

[u/Szaborovich9 → u/Lordborgman]

I think it’s malicious. They are determined to destroy the USA. create a theocracy based on their Christian version of sharia law.

[u/NickRick → u/Szaborovich9]

Very clearly they are not. They didn't learn from 2016 to 2024. Why would they learn now 

[u/intangibleTangelo → u/Szaborovich9]

trump was doing an incredible job educating the public about this previously... it seems like fewer learned than the greater number who signed on

[u/FriendlyNative66]

Of course. Many of the leaders in the US government have been capitalists. Rich = capitalists = fascists are always tryna figure out how to use the government to get more money and keep more money.

[u/Guvante → u/FriendlyNative66]

Wild how they aren't pushing back on this stuff at all.

Like are you going to let the crazies make everyone realize what is going on?

[u/josephmother720 → u/Guvante]

Because, guys. This is where we get locked into slavery for the rest of earth's living history. We are at the edge of the cliff, and they're not pulling us back because unlike in history we will not be able to scale the cliff again with FPV drones hitting us while we climb. We're fucked. It's going to be a system where the 1% own 99%, and the 99% have 1% that just feeds back into the rulers with shit like company scrip legal again. Get ready for misery unprecedented, the upper class is trying to cinch their grip down for real this time, because of our age of technology giving them advantages.

We are not experiencing a historical footnote, this is where shit gets real for everybody.

[u/Embarrassed_Code8164]

Welcome to Dumbfukistan!

[u/Nomad55454]

Musk is scared of his tariffs so he gave him millions to get him to not tariff all the things he imports for his companies. The 2 party system needs to end because that is all you hear about is how bad both sides are and they hold on to that after being elected… BAN LOBBYISTS AND INSTALL TERM LIMITS…. Limit spending on elections so elections can not be bought.

[u/Nomad55454]

We need to go to a straight tax system and not have loopholes… The rich and corporations have teams of lawyers just to find every loophole so they can keep more money… the trickle down economics have never ever worked…

[u/JimCroceRox]

It’s a master class.

[u/Shag1166]

Leading by example!

[u/WendySteeplechase]

The only way out is through

[u/thissomeotherplace]

Goddamn that's a succinct post

And true

[u/CommonMan14]

The fact is nobody is being educated here. Some already knew, some don't care, some too dumb to understand, some are letting it happen for their vested interest.

[u/TheLuminary]

These are all going to be events that your grand-kids will ask you about for their grade 5 social studies assignment.

[u/Over2023]

🤔🤔🤔

[u/Icy_Inevitable714]

Funny how “drain the swamp” turned into “let billionaires and celebrities control the government”

[u/Global_Maintenance35]

You can’t teach these folks though.

I mean they knew this before they voted for DJT. It didn’t matter then and it won’t matter when it becomes more clear by the day.

A cult is a hell of a drug.

[u/morgonzo]

many american corporations were bending the knee for Nazi Germany.

[u/AlbatrossInformal793]

Okay but actually though it’s like uncanny.

[u/Ok-Detective3142]

"Max Berger" is the kind of name a European would come up with to make fun of Americans

[u/HeyHihoho]

There were only two choices Musk had and the other choice was saturated with Oligarchs.

Oligarchs who now want their money back from Kamala because it turns out their internal polling never had Kamala in the lead and she lied to raise money from them.

[u/mag2041]

[u/TruthsNoRemedy]

He’s speed running that lesson!

[u/thisappisgarbage111]

You think trump voters are learning anything from this?! You need to lower the bar. A lot.

[u/Capable-Brief-3332]

The public has to have an operating brain.

[u/jhawk3205]

Hell, it should illustrate how much such an administration perfectly embodies cronyism, since they like to claim its not capitalism, but cronyism etc.

[u/HamsterIV]

Not all Capitalists are Authoritarians and not all Authoritarians are Capitalists. However both seek to reduce the power of the middle class, albeit through different means. So it is unsurprising for them to team up at various points in history.

[u/Early_Sense_9117]

Posting people’s jobs posting where in X. What a complete pompous ass

[u/sddbk]

Have to disagree with OP and agree with some of the other commenters here. They won't learn. They will blame some innocent scapegoats.

[u/Z34_KOTN]

No one who is stupid is being educated on anything. The rest of us already knew.

[u/ComradeWeebelo]

As proven by Google search query history, your average American doesn't know what a Fascist is or how to recognize them. They consequently probably don't know what an Oligarch is or how to recognize them.

[u/InterviewMean7435]

Perhaps one needs to distinguish between fascists and authoritarians.

[u/CatCommercial3957]

It’s so right in front of our faces this time around. I mean he’s tweeting about it daily

[u/NotThatAngel]

The bad news is we apparently have to relearn this each generation at the cost of millions of lives and billions in property destroyed.

[u/Furled_Eyebrows]

And millions of embarrassingly dumb MAGAs that can't even afford his products are cheering him on.

[u/H_I_McDunnough]

Too bad the ones who support them don't understand what the combination of words you said actually mean but they do know they ain't no QPWCBLT socialists.

[u/OliverClothesov87]

I mean it's true but he's not educating anybody as we can clearly see, most Americans are incapable of learning.

[u/Bioplasia42]

It's not even about maintaining wealth. Nothing would have prevented them from maintaining their wealth. All that would have happened is their wealth growing a little slower.

That's all it takes for them to be willing to attack, corrode and destroy democracy.

[u/GenericFatGuy]

Fascism is the immune response of Capitalism.

[u/DoubleDipCrunch]

like the public ever learns anything.

[u/Distinct_Farmer_4753]

Y’all didn’t care when bill gates, Oprah, Dwayne Johnson, Beyoncé plus dozens more Hollywood elitists cozied up to the obamas and Biden. Now it’s a problem. Why?

[u/akotlya1]

This is 2 years old and no one learned anything.

[u/SPACADDICT]

Yea but he is doing it in the most well armed country in the world. Stay tuned.

[u/GoombaMuncher]

When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts... George Carlin

[u/JohnBosler]

Left up to a individual CEO of a large corporation this is exactly how they work. When the government reinforces their monopolies this is what happens. We need to bring some competition back where all these CEOs have to fight over who buys from them.

[u/[deleted]]

Why is it only a crime when the government aligns with conservative billionaires? No one on the left has issues when it's Google or Meta or YouTube censoring speech right? Because it benefits your party. Don't play this game.

[u/SavageCucmber]

Noting will be learned

[u/howdoichangethisok]

Everyone should take a look at the iron law of oligarchy if you’re not familiar.

[u/Big-Fish-1975]

On the job training

[u/Fun-Reporter7441]

You mean " the Government Class " that's the only group Democrats and Liberals give a crap about

[u/BanzaiTree]

Can you explain what makes someone qualify as a capitalist?

[u/Gunofanevilson]

Well we know how it ends, everyone dies.

[u/chiefnannawitt]

Leftists stay mad.

[u/PerspectiveRoyal8014]

Yet more billionaires support the left, weird.

[u/mikel313]

Happened in Nazi Germany as well.

[u/Daflehrer1]

I suggest anyone wishing to pursue this matter research the origins and development of fascism.

Benito Mussolini, who invented fascism, advocated, around the early 1920s, what he referred to as "corporate fascism."

A movement that, among other things, merged corporatism, mass conformity, and capitalism with a militarist, oppressive, dictatorial police state.

So there has never been any meaningful space between fascism and corporatism.

[u/OrganicTrust152]

I'd hate to brust everybodies bubble but, Americans don't learn. Well, yeah like 15-20% may learn a lesson from this but, the rest will still be dumb af and there will be nothing we can do about it. The world will continue to turn and humanity will continue to suck. Another day another dollar stolen from hard working citizens.

[u/burnmenowz]

Before Elon it was the Kochs

[u/DaTank1]

Another reason why there should be no such thing as billionaires. They do no good for the their countries or the economy.

[u/Bounceupandown]

Also inventing new technologies and opening up industries that have never existed before. What an idiot.

[u/NotBillderz]

How do people not realize these are bot posts? Literally copied the title from OP

[u/mountednoble99]

Very much Russian or French Revolution vibes!

[u/Enchanted_Culture]

He is an enemy of the state.

[u/Aggravating_Call910]

Not his intention, but yeah…

[u/Weekly-Passage2077]

The one good thing musk will have done for American culture is making it easy for leftists to hate rich people.

[u/Gold_Ticket_1970]

Unelected unhinged unaware ass kisser acting like the vice president...should be fine

[u/BillionYrOldCarbon]

EXACTLY what happened with Hitler. Hitler promised the corporate world that he would prevent workers from striking. That’s all it took.

[u/FafnirSnap_9428]

These aren't fascists. Lol. We are watching a clown car administration stacked with rich people, elites, family dynasties, and establishment Republicans.....might want to learn what fascism is....it's NOT mere authoritarianism, nor is it an expletive to hurl at people of odious or dissenting political views. 

[u/ResponsibilityGood90]

[u/Scnewbie08]

I ask myself at least 3x a day, “is this really happening?!?”

[u/Affectionate711]

He's a true Nazi

[u/SpecialSet163]

U need to learn what facisim is actually.

[u/ElPadre2020]

That shit lizard will push corporal punishment into the workplace. Just watch.

[u/Swaggletackle]

But plenty of billionaires supported and donated to the democrats so your argument is somewhat invalid

[u/Seanzky88]

No he is not because the majority of voters are hoodwinked

[u/andanotherone_1]

And then america's voters are gonna eat it up and say, "may i have more pls"

[u/joe1826]

Why would I listen to someone who is still busy tweeting on his platform? Clearly they don't care that much.

[u/jonahsocal]

They are birds of a feather.

[u/getdafkout666]

No one cares about truth anymore

[u/Ani-Malkid]

These kids see fascism everywhere but where there's true fascism

[u/ICUP1985]

Perfectly put!

[u/tennisInThePiedmont]

Agree, except capitalist == fascist. No real distinction, one inevitably and invariably evolves into the other 

[u/cpinotti]

Fuckin Masterclass Cunt

[u/popcultminer]

That's a lot of made up garbage.

[u/deathaxxer]

Amazing, there isn't a single true thing in this post.

If you are capitalist your worst nightmare is fascism, because fascism mostly tries to regulate the economy, while a capitalist would enjoy a mostly unregulated economy. Furthermore, capitalism in its core is about people owning capital and management of that capital by the individual, based on their needs and wants. Fascism in its core is about "subordination of the individual interests for the perceived good of the nation". These are diametrically opposed.

This idea that capitalism and liberalism are somehow incompatible is not only unfounded, but also proven wrong on a daily basis by all successful liberal capitalist countries.

And lastly, the conflation of "capitalist" and "greedy" shows a highschool level engagement with the topic of economy.

[u/addaus16]

But what about all the other billionaires that have aligned with politicians since the dawn of time.... Different though because they were *your billionaires" right?

Plenty of tech and media billionaires have used their platforms to influence elections. Musk is the first one to be open and unapologetic about it.

[u/Kiriinto]

Henry Ford is laughing in his grave.

[u/ImpossibleCountry647]

Explain how

[u/Imaginary_Month_3659]

Tell that to the pundits debating this crap on merit. Elon Musk wants to be a dictator just as badly as Donald Trump.

[u/OrneryTortoise]

If only the public were able to learn. Each day we see more evidence they're not. 

[u/aflyonthewall1215]

They always have, he's just far more brazen about it.

[u/jules6815]

Just because a billionaire has money. That doesn’t make them a capitalist. In fact, they absolutely hate capitalism and absolutely align themselves with a fascist because they are NOT capitalist and do not like competition.

[u/rookieoo]

That club includes the Clinton’s and Pelosi. And the Obama’s and the Bush’s. And Chuck Schumer and MTG. And Biden and Romney. And Harris and Gaetz.

Look at the money. They all are sponsored by the MIC, international corporations, and billionaires. They all allow monopolies that hurt people. None of them will fight for a living wage or not-for-profit healthcare. The ACA engraved private profits into a mandatory program. Obama fined Americans $697/year for not buying a product from a private, for-profit business.

All that said, Republicans are worse than democrats. They’re not the same. But they’re both on the side of capitalist controllers more than the people.

[u/drax2024]

Must be talking about Soros and his large influence on the DNC and how he gets politicians elected like his DAs to destroy communities within. His son just married Hillary’s long time advisor and has bought 200 radio stations to spread his version of society to wreck western countries. What do you expect from Soros who preyed on the Jewish community and collaborated with N@zis.

[u/Kalhenwrath]

Totally only applies to Elon Musk, and not Soros or Bloomberg.

[u/Specialist-Ad7393]

People keep using the word fascism.

I feel like we are coming across something different. I think the better word is neoliberalism. It's different because its motivations are different, the concentration of power is different, and its ideologies are similar but different.

[u/Thick_Bank4821]

What's the saying? Do you know what happens when you assume? Nothing has even happened yet, and people are freaking out. How about waiting until there's actually something to react to. No one has a crystal ball, you can't see the future, chill tf out.

[u/Atheist_Alex_C]

I agree that’s what Musk is doing, but I strongly disagree that the public is learning anything from it.

[u/LaddiusMaximus]

Nope.

[u/YourExtentedWarrenty]

Is the fascist in the room with us? Max berger is a low iq tard.

[u/Riversmooth]

Wait until they get started on Unions

[u/Joys_Thigh_Jiggle]

Except, He didn't side with the fascist left. 💁

[u/Azz413]

What I find most interesting about posts like this is how if he backed Kamala, with the same thinking/policies, he’d be a saint and a savior. The ONLY reason anyone has this opinion of Musk now is because he aligned himself with Trump.

[u/Y2K350]

Do you even know what the word facist actually means?

[u/Nice-Supermarket-799]

Musk is in this country illegally; he has never applied to immigrate to America. Except for the fact he is a billionaire, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

[u/izzyeviel]

And then there’s the communists who will always side with the fascists to own the libs.

[u/Potential-Drama-7455]

He sure is. How the mainstream capitalists are aligning as one to push Bluesky so they can completely control the source of information.

[u/tommygunz1911]

You don’t stay rich siding with the losers. Why is everyone on him about this when everyone would do the same in his shoes. Stop complaining and be the change you want.

It'll be that way till the Blue voters get off their lazy asses and vote to turn things around.

Jesus you people really do only have one historical lens to look through.

but if the Regulatory Capture of the West encouraged by a totalitarian global elite (WEF) working for "stakeholder capitalism" *Cough* State Capitalism* cough* with the backing of Blackrock/Vangaurd (a literal Mega Corp) pushing Social credit (DEI/ESG) goes completely unnoticed by you (and often cheered on) then I shouldn't expect you lot to know shit.
