Musk risks nothing because TACO.

Doesn't it feel like he is orchestrating the whole thing to give the IDF excuses to shoot people?

It would be so funny if those two would burn each other, but Musk doesn't risk much as taco.

Israel practically organized Hamas to have an opponent easily disliked by western nations. They funded and molded it to the exclusion of more secular and leftist organisations like PLO. Hamas is not a problem for Israel, it's a tool to allow them unlimited brutality on the Palestinian population. I know people on lemmy don't want to hear this but when you look at what happened since the days when people like Rabin and Arafat were making headway in peaceful solutions that might have ultimately led to freedom, safety and dignity for everyone in the region.

The agreements they made werent perfect, they were stepping stones in the way to a better situation, and they were what could be eeked out in the existing situation. Of course Zionist extremists could not live with that. Never forget who killed Rabin.

We, do not. I'm not American. The US to me is an absurd place where wealth gets way too much power and respect.

Yes, problem is that there often is gradual change that is not seen enough. I don't live in the US, the healthcare system there that bleeds the state and the population spectacularly is incomprehensible to me. I don't understand how there is not a new Nintendo character doing his thing every week, given the cruelty combined with the amount of desperate people who have guns.

I live in a country in the EU that has institutions that rather constantly get updated and change to try and keep up with the needs of society (and the need for politicians to show how useful they are).

The constant change is somewhat exhausting to be honest as the agency where you apply for something today might not exist next year, the requirements for applying for the same thing might be different next month....

Yet even here right wing gains every election because they present a world view with simple solutions to complex problems.

Almost ready for that great leap forward!

Well you could say they start with an authoritarian regime that doesn't do well with things like human rights to begin with if they don't go to fascism it's because they have a system that has, for a large part, most of the same downsides.

They both do, it's what narcism does.

If there was one funny thing Trump could do was weaponize the doj against Musk and get his companies seized in civil forfeiture. It certainly would be a win for the US, so he is not going to.

Given all of that (waves generally in the direction of the Trump regime and all its cronies) you guys are allowed to be a whole lot meaner.

Pah, Greek democracy was interesting, but very limited given how narrow their Deimos was with women, foreign residents and slaves not counting.

So if "the status quo" inevitably leads to fascism, the only way to avoid fascism would be a society that is in constant change? Well, for one thing, every society is in constant change unless you install some kind of religious dogmatic dictatorship, and even those break after some time under the stress of sociological pressures.

Fascism, or things very much like it, happen whenever you let fear mongering powerhungry fools who deny reality in favor of some kind of nostalgia infused "greater" image of your society get away with their bullshit.

Human leadership leads to fascism at some point, because humans love their fears and their tribal behavior.
