Hey David — if you're so smart, do you have any idea how we got here?
“We don’t have anyone on the list from America.” [citation needed]
We don't have anyone from America on that list because we only started counting after they massacred the native nations. It's also harder to point to an individual who specifically was responsible as no one has absolute power there.
reposting propaganda from Brooks is morally wrong and foolish
they post fake views like this so that you'll let them into your sphere of influence/ reading material SO THEY CAN LIE TO YOU MORE
you enable them by promoting this Kayfabe, these fictional narratives
HA! If anyone doesn’t know who David Brooks is, a quick search will tell you.
And just in case, don’t follow the guy.
With genuine curiosity, why did you choose to repost rhetoric by David Brooks today?
Well, it was posted earlier by someone else but with a fox news link. So I wanted a different link, and thought others may appreciate it.
I’m enjoying his thrashing the republiQans fwiw, but I have no illusions about David Brooks. Certainly I have less illusions about David Brooks than David Brooks has.
When you see Fox spreading something, maybe you should interrogate that a little bit. Do you trust their motives? Do you think stuff they want to share should be given a larger platform?
Then if that doesn't work, DM me the next time you want to post David Brooks and I will verbally abuse you to the point where you don't want to internet no more 😀 👍
Are you one of those purity test lefties who can't bring themselves to vote for Harris because the primaries were a sham?
David Brooks sucks major league ass but if he's shitting on Elon, bigly, and if it's getting spread across the Foxiverse then all the better, I say.

No you fuckwit I'm tired of seeing billionaire kayfabe spam from known hatemongers spammed by fuckwits
you're also ugly
everyone thinks you smell but nobody likes you enough to tell you
I see. Well, eat a block then.
Welcome to the resistance you partisan fucking hack.
No shit right.
If it weren't for the decades of sane washing liberal and conservative talking heads have offered the mind of bullshit narratives they push, none of this would have ever been able to be come established.
To what extent can the results be attributed to Musk vs Trump?
Sure, Musk’s DOGE was particularly incompetent, but was there any way of implementing Trump’s intended policies that wouldn’t have been similarly disastrous?
Trump vs Musk damages is a distinction without a difference. It's like asking if either Hitler vs Himmler were more responsible for the Holocaust. At the end of the day they were the ones in power, they made the decisions, either had the power to stop, and they didn't.
There’s a difference if Trump and his supporters use Musk as a scapegoat to distance themselves from the fallout.
Did anyone think that wasn't the plan? Survival Of The Fittest is basically bullshit, but it's also the main driver of Conservative philosophy.
Survival of the fittest doesn't meant the individual. I cannot build a barn by myself nearly as well as I can in a group. I cannot farm as easily alone as with a commune. The fittest are communal.
Well, it's selfishness, but they frame it that way.
