Nazi child of apartheid encourages elevated racial tensions, more at 11.
Really, really nasty move.
Do you want riots? Because that's how you get riots.
Yes, actually. Riots give them an easy path to invoke the insurrection act.
It's so weird how people in power play the most dangerous games in countries where the population is not disarmed
for all the guns americans have, theyre clearly too cowardly to use them for anything outside of school shootings
Greed make you do dumb shit.
They just want to cause riots. Trump and Elon are agitators.
This. I'm convinced at this point they're attempting to instigate riots so they can declare material law and seize full control over the US government.
I agree. This is just intended to cause civil unrest to distract from everything else they’re doing to tear America apart.
But also, Musk is a Nazi.
This is the sleight of hand they want you paying attention to. Instead, keep an eye on the other hand;
Because that is the one doing the damage.
The real trick is the fact that both of these do damage, and you can't afford to ignore either.
Signaling to the police that the executive branch has your back and will support you when you kill poor black men is going to get people straight up murdered.
true, but also, there's a point that laws don't really exist anymore. it's just gang shit. the cops are the gang that want to kill you rather than make a profit off you. there is no legitimacy, there is no reason to respect or obey them, and in fact they will kill you if you do.
It kinda feels like both hands are doing a lot of damage....
Elon trying to use this to distract from all the federal firings he's done
I think the ultimate goal is martial law, and I think he is unconcerned about what triggers his ability to declare it.
Gotta throw red meat to the racist AF base to distract from how fElon and his Incel Clown Posse is stealing from the American people...
Literally Orcs.
"But of those hapless who were snared by Melkor little is known of a certainty. [...] Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa: that all those of the Quendi that came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty and wickedness were corrupted and enslaved. Thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orkor in envy and mockery of the Eldar, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orkor had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Ilúvatar; and naught that had life of its own, nor the semblance thereof, could ever Melkor make since his rebellion in the Ainulindalë before the Beginning: so say the wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orkor loathed the Master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery. This maybe was the vilest deed of Melkor and the most hateful to Eru"
If Trump pardons him he still has 20+years of state sentence to finish, this is a distraction….
They are about to do the biggest grift ever with the tax cuts for the rich.
All of this is a distraction
They reeaally doing anything they can to get that martial law step started from their project 2025 handbook
Elon's brain got damaged by ketamine usage. At his level of power and wealth, he basically runs the planet and the drugs embolden him to shamelessly call for whatever shits he believes
He's basically Baron Harkonnen with a broken dick.
A possible motive is to push the power of the executive. If Trump can somehow seize this power, there's nothing that can stop him.
That or just trying to embolden the police, but I'm guessing it's even worse than that.
I'd say it's to embolden police and violent racists, in hope of helping encouraging their race war to destabilize the country so that they can divy it up.
The interesting lack of forethought from the oligarchic billionaires is that their billions mean nothing without the US dollar and NYSE. The majority of their hoards of wealth are not backed by anything tangible that could be of use in the event that the US dollar ceases to be relevant. I suppose that this kind of thought isn't likely to occur to sociopaths that were born with platinum spoons in their mouths.
Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.
The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.
And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.
And of course, they don't want us to see that. So they're doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.
A gun. A gun can stop him. They work well. American has more guns than people, and a second amendment designed to stop this nonsense when needed.
It’s needed.
Not gonna happen, he can cry about the federal charges but MN has him owing 22 years.
That's encouraging. Thanks!
So which company building we burning down first? I vote for Wal-Mart.
Nazi Musk does nazi things.
Honestly, a part of me wants this to happen because I believe it would cause some serious protests.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but i believe that is the point.
I think it's a reasonable assessment of the current situation. He wants/they want to put us in a situation where our military must or can be used to restore order. They want to normalize military use against US citizens.
I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the comments that I'd see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren't there. I hadn't even thought about those comments until I got to the end.
Getting classier by the day. Fucking embarrassing
Hell yes! Get Chauvin out of Club Fed and right into GenPop of the nearest state prison. That'll work out GREAT for everyone. Except Chauvin.
If he gets pardoned I hope that will push the Americans harder to overthrow these sycophants. On the other hand it could be to try to trigger something so Cheeto Mussolini can crack down on the protests with violence.
There will be mass protests, looters will take advantage of these times. Martial law will be declared in those places and never given back. Nothing would make them happier
But that guy was convicted of murder wasnt he? Is Felon now doubting a jugdes decision? I really think he is losing his shit. Did for sometime but now its getting obvious.
Yeah that tracks with this timeline.
Was he convicted federally, or is Musk just generating distractions for the news media?
"How can we cause larger riots than what happened after a George Floyd was murdered?"
Oh boy. I mean sure, pardon the federal charges.
He's still got time he owes Minnesota about 20 years yet. I don't know what the laws about where he serves are, but I don't imagine he'll be placed somewhere better.
