And where the distinction between business and government gets very vague. Musk standing next to Trump on the podium is a clear sign how far conflict ot interest has been launched out the window.

Ah, the “better to reign in hell” type

Musk should be greeted by giving him the middle finger. Then say it was just a gesture in the moment and not to overanalyze it.

I’m sure he can find ways to make healthcare even worse, sell out the remainder of your privacy to big tech and look for ways to give everybody’s job to AI.

Yeah, after yesterday being on X is like saying you´re publishing in the Swastika Sentinel.

That’s social cycle theory. Over the generations, people respond to circumstances and do things a bit differently, setting the next generations up for different circumstances and where the lessons from the past are forgotten. It follows a typical pattern that humanity is doomed to repeat.

They’re following a very simple doctrine. You give the people an enemy, real or even created out of whole cloth, and then you fight them. People rally around the leaders and they get money, votes, power and adoration thrown at them. The requirement is a complete lack of morality and a maxed out hunger for power.

That conclusion is no surprise. It’s exactly what the Chinese said they were going to do and they’ve been loyally following the plan. They’ve been using the inherent weakness of market systems against itself. Of course other car makers and governments are terrified as they have to do the unthinkable and abandon shareholders and short term profits and strip more freedom from the free market.

Turns out that technically they don’t have wealth, just a lot of loans with paper assets as collateral.

To name a few:

• the classic riot, violence and/or revolution
• the coup
• organizing through unions and have general strikes until things change
• sustained peaceful protest
• voting
• switching to a different (underground) economic system
• massive emigration

All come with some serious downsides of course.

First you need to stop money from systematically flowing to the top or that dividing is only going to be a temporary measure.

And it’s not even guaranteed to work. All corporations seem to be doing (quiet) layoffs so most employees just suck it up and commute, brimming with fresh resentment.

And much of the crime fighting is blue collar crime. On general the superheroes don’t touch white collar criminals.
