an economy of whatever it currently does? I think you literally said it yourself, the handful of states are 30% the economy of the US total, the rest is still a thing, it’s not going to disappear lmao. Idk how hard this is to understand.
The US primarily exports high value goods and services, tech for example, not food.
idk how bad the south is, i’ve never been around that area of the US, just don’t know anybody down there, or really have a reason to go there anyway. But i don’t think it’s irreversible, i’m sure there are problematic areas, as there are in any area, but idk what the whole of it looks like.
yeah lmao
well carter was hated, i think what you’re looking for is “you can’t be a well liked president, and a good person at the same time”
I think FDR might be the only exception.
he created an opaque drone warfare program that Congress has no oversight over,
you’re telling me the congress, and the rest of the federal government has NO check OR balance against any of this? Seems unlikely.
Smells to me like the US federal government just doesn’t want to do it’s fucking job. On account of the fact that we hired the stupidest people in the room for it.
the same thing for texas to become it’s own country, that said, it’s not happening.
Those 5 states would do just fine without the United States but the United states would be an unimportant backwater without them.
well no, the US would still be 60-70% of the total US economy without them lmao.
in the midwest, it’s political brainrot, not racism or things like that.
trump is literally an immigrant, so.
they’re incompetent, not 4d chess gods.
They’re stupid, not subverting the public to garner power as needed has literally not happened once.
yeah, there are better ways of doing it lmao.
and you don’t need to false flag for that, literally all you have to do is the shit trump did during the kamala debate where you talk about how they “eat the dogs” or whatever.
Does the exact same thing.
why would they false flag it just to arrest some rando on the street? They’re not going to false flag and charge biden with this shit lmao.
It was probably genuine and real, and some random mfer actually just did this. Occams razor.
Since when have the fascists needed any reasons beyond that they could to do something heinous?
also this, they wouldn’t need to, they would just lie about it.
yknow, i’m thinking that’s not the case. Maybe a schizo right winger. But probably not a false flag. You wouldn’t need to false flag this.
Elon has been publicly shitty for years. The widespread arson didn’t start until he was in the government. You’re disproving your own position. It’s clear that his role in the government was a trigger.
it’s also been a fairly slow burn up until he started donating money to trump, and then inevitably, became a part of the government.
People have high thresholds for when things are deemed “problematic” and right now, it seems like elon musk is definitionally, an oligarch.
and again, i said it previously, just because something is motivated by political reasons, doesn’t mean it’s being done for political reasons. The whole point of terrorism, is doing terror, explicitly for the purposes of political power. Obviously burning property to the ground isn’t going to be very conducive of this.
And sweet jesus dude… tesla is not a private company. It’s public. How are you not aware of that. Elon just happens to own 90 billion dollars worth of it. His stake is essentially private property. Maybe that’s what you were hinting at, but the distinction is important for other reasons.
oh sorry, you’re right, it is a public company. My mistake. Surely that makes it more of a government entity right? Surely public companies are strictly protected against terrorism than private companies are. Surely, that must be the case.
Terrorism is simply violence to achieve political aims. It doesn’t matter whether the entities are public or private. If someone bombed a house full of a politicians family members to make a political point, that would obviously be terrorism, regardless of the fact that only private property and non government employees were harmed, because the goal of the act was clearly political.
yeah, this is a clear cut case of terrorism. But if you’re going to start defining something like politically motivated arson as terrorism, you’re only a few steps away from defining something like a mass public protest as “verbal terrorism” which, must be just as effective as real physical terrorism.
and tesla is a private company that he owns? Elon in the government, and elon that runs tesla are two unrelated things.
Sure people are motivated against elon due to his political advancements, specifically those made INTO government.
But tesla is STILL a private company, that isn’t even under the ownership of musk, it’s a board of directors. At best this is property destruction and arson.
Otherwise you’re arguing very quickly that ANY private entity is immediately therefore a protected subspecies of the US federal government, and any action taken against it, is by definition, terrorism.
wdym? The only reason people would do that is because they’re unhappy with tesla, and how it’s operating as a company. Given that musk is a figurehead in company, he’s the only reason it’s political.
Musk is just a shitty person, people don’t like that, and are retaliating as they see fit.
what’s the political goal? Making tesla less popular? That doesn’t sound very political to me.
a lot of people kill people for political reasons, doesn’t make that terrorism. There’s a specific branch of intentionally inciting terror with the use of violence FOR political means, that’s actually defined as terrorism.
Burning teslas at dealerships probably doesn’t count. Extorting people and threatening to kill them, might count.
i doubt it’ll disappear honestly, youtube is ironically one of the better platforms regarding moderation. They tend to leave a lot of controversial stuff up, even if it’s pretty bad. It’s only the really bad shit they take down.
