@wdlindsy I recommend the Hashtag #TESCREAL for this deeply fascist ideology these people follow. That is why such words/actions are hardly surprising. (Surprising is only the number of collaborateurs on Birdcrap). The best summary about the acronym TESCREAL as an introduction: https://washingtonspectator.org/understanding-tescreal-silicon-valleys-rightward-turn/

@wdlindsy @Kierkegaanks I personally prefer some very public, extreme violence to be visited upon him, obviously within an entirely legal framework, to serve as a warning to the others. These techbros are become mighty uppity. Some overkill is warranted, though I guess that it need not be violent just something that would give every other little prick pause and maybe decide to favor charitable foundations lest they be next. My personal preference just happens to be crucifixion. You do you.

@wdlindsy forget point 5; the US has neutered NASA and is absolutely dependent on SpaceX. Unless we’re talking about nationalization, then I’m all in.

@wdlindsy 7. Remove all official government accounts from X.
8. Enforce all environmental laws for Musk's businesses. -

@wdlindsy Sorry to be a fact checker but while Project 2025 is pretty vile and would ruin peoples’ lives it does NOT say what this slide claims. The section on the Department of Labor - which does start on page 581 - has all kinds of nonsense, including references to Judeo-Christen tradition, but no where does it suggest women have children, stay at home, and mother. Let’s stick to the facts, which are bad enough, shall we?

@jwd630 Perhaps let's listen to Andra Watkins' well-informed commentary, shall we? And not attack her with the kind of mendacious "fact-checking" now practiced by corporate media? Let's assume that as a woman she might have something more invested in what Project 2025 mandates than we do as males, shall we? And shall we perhaps curb our urge to mansplain to people like Andra Watkins.
Shall we?

@nf3xn @Kierkegaanks Okay, if we qualify the use of the term "elimination" to "an entirely legal framework," I can say I'd agree. Crucifixion? Absolutely not.

@wdlindsy You're welcome. For me, it was also new, I learned it from @timnitGebru . Reading more about these ideologies is hard and creepy but it explains a lot about the platform owners' politics and the connections to Trump.

@NatureMC @timnitGebru I agree. Important to be kept informed.
