that star of david in the pic reminds me of the same star being used by nazis to identify jewish business in nazi germany.

they've gone full circle from being oppressed to being the oppressors and; like our own facists; they're completely unaware of it despite the evidence in front of their faces.

For many years, I considered buying a Tesla model S. But I hesitated because the privacy invasion conducted by modern automobiles on their drivers - not just Tesla - puts me off.

Now I will for sure never purchase any Tesla vehicle.
And I closed my Paypal account. [EDIT: Musk doesn't own any Paypal stock anymore, so nevermind that}
And I left Twitter.
And I will never get the Starlink service.
And I will never use OpenAI or xAI products if I can avoid it.

At this point, I think it's a moral duty to boycott any and all products or services that Musk invests in or makes money out of.

He's obviously doing all of this to get less regulation, which in turn means more money and more power, more being able to do what he wants. Big corporations and rich businessmen will benefit from that short-term, but long-term we all suffer, because we'll get a neo-nazi government and do even less against climate change.

Even if we manage to prevent or at least overcome the neo-nazi government once people realize that's not a good thing to have, nature will be standing right next in line to punish us really hard for being so goddamn stupid.
History will not remember us fondly. Future survivors will think of our generation(s) as insane and/or stupid, when they learn that people willingly voted for entities which destroy the planet even more, and make living conditions for citizens even worse, despite knowing better way ahead of time (earth heating up is known since the 1970s or so, and the results of nazi-governments are also known very well), and despite having the internet as an easy means of global communication and coordination.

It's a modern day religion .... the same system we've always had for thousands of years

A belief system where we all collectively believe that some people have more power than everyone else. A religion where we are made to believe that we walk among gods or god like men and women made possible by a divine being.

Instead of offering daily goat sacrifices ... we offer payment for subscription fees or buy something online.

I'm so slow, my first reaction was:

What kind of disgusting new behavior are the weirdos getting up to now? Shitting indoors. The very thought of it!

Hopefully we don't have to always be dependent on so many other people and services to have basic dignity and sanitation.

People who live off-grid, van/rv/etc., homestead, etc. lifestyles are pioneering a future where we don't need services that aren't likely that great for the environment - such as public sewage, our reliance on fossil fuels to power and heat our homes and electronics, or unsustainable agriculture that isn't in balance with the environment or even nutritionally-dense.

I am grateful to the people who enable our standard of living to survive with some semblance of dignity, and especially those focused on solutions, so we can get to the point of self-sufficiency, sustainability, and balance in our environment as a species and planet.

Interesting that they're pretending like relations are still normalized with Cuba. That shit was over a long time ago.

I've met a few Cubans on both sides of the political spectrum.

Unfortunately, leftists have their work cut out for them because of how incessantly stupid the right wing is in cuba.

Once enough people take pride in their stupidity, there's no going back.
