That site is also calling out Musk for being a Nazi-saluting fascist, which is a good thing.

It's not anti-Musk to believe what he says about himself. You should re-examine why you feel the need to push your own slant.


This is braindead capitalist propaganda. Stop filling your head with garbage. At the very least, keep it to yourself so other people don't have to smell it. Gross.


Economics is braindead capitalist propaganda. Got it.


"Economics" in the sense of "blathering on about nonsense opinions", yes.

"Economics" in the sense of "any sort of understanding of how the world works", not so much.

Drain the rot from your brain. Ew.


Nothing I'm saying is particularly hard to understand or controversial - and that's with most economists being left-wing! If a field dominated by the left can't even find strong support for unions, then perhaps its actually you who lacks "any sort of understanding of how the world works".


You have quite the imagination. Your fantasy of Musk's competence is unmoored from reality



There's a website that mockingly tracks the p2025 progress. I can't say whether it's accurate or fully honest.

I assume it's exaggerating but is pointing at some red flags and parallels:

https://www.project2025.observer/


It's from the admin of r/keep_track. It is far from complete (missing lots) and the summaries they write aren't always accurate.

The Federal Reserve section is one that's clearly incomplete, for instance, including just two goals when the document has several (e.g. curbing last-resort lending is missing).

That said, the site's a good portal if you're aware of those limitations. I really like that each item has a link to the PDF.


Yeah, the plans have been laid out in the public for a while.

We're seeing it happen in real time.


There are also various public talks and other published pieces by members of the admin, laying out exactly what they're planning to do (and now are doing) and why.

I dunno when they figured out they can just conduct conspiracies in public and nobody will call them on it, so there's little reason to bother with secrecy, but that's how they work now, and it's been weird to watch. I first noticed it with Bush II when prominent members of his administration published multiple pieces (before he was elected) calling for war with Iraq, and stating that the US should take essentially any half-decent excuse to go to war with Iraq even if that excuse itself is bad, then... did exactly that! And got away with it! Inexplicably, the media would interview them on the topic of going to war with Iraq and didn't make all the questions about that. It was barely a footnote to media coverage of the run-up to the war, which was so damn weird when anyone could just go read the text of these pieces themselves, with familiar names on them, telling us exactly how they were planning to fuck us. Didn't matter, they could just straight-up publish "here's how we're going to screw the public" and then screw the public exactly that way, and laugh all the way to the goddamn bank (literally, in many cases—they made so friggin' much money off the post-9/11 security apparatus and the wars)


It is really frustrating how news organizations don’t remember previous news cycles and connect the threads. That’s why the trump strategy of flooding the system with outrage constantly is so effective. People can’t maintain the narrative over time and so things get buried.


The public WANTS to be lied to.

They were basically asking for it.

People in positions of power gave the public exactly what they want.


So we should just a narcissistic baby affect public policy whenever his feefees are hurt?


Stop being naive. This is an unelected billionaire successfully couping the government and replacing competent people with incompetent lackeys. Musk is fucking you over and you're cheering him on because you've suckled at the teat of propaganda for far too long. Get your head out of your ass and actually think


Denial on what is actually happening is rampant at the moment. When in weeks, months, and years the consequences of these actions maybe, maybe, it will be acknowledged, though the pattern has been so far scapegoating the 'other'.


You lack fundamental knowledge of how the world functions


Waves hands even more vigorously


Corruption at this level is treason


Sometimes it do be that simple.

I recommend you hide your handle from your children, because when they ask what side of holocaust 2 you were on, they might not like what they find.


Not too surprising, that's true for many single axes for adult humans as well, for example there's lots of tall women and short men. Multi-dimensional analyses are very different though
