A channel called democracy now, yet supports stopping freedom of speech.

Just yesterday, I was talking with Armin Navabi from the “Atheist Republic” youtube channel, and when I said that Musk is a fascist and a white supremacist, he went nuts and denied it all frantically. As an antitheist that lives an ethical, well thought out life, I was shocked to have been treated in such a way. He defended Musk and denied the facts that he is a neo nazi, racist, a fascist and a white supremacist. So I immediately ended the conversation and unsubscribed from “Atheist Republic”. Apparently they’re hypocrites. Or maybe it was just that Armin Navabi guy.

Tesla is finished. Not just because Musk turned full fascist, but also the cars themselves have fallen behind the US and China. His deadly and fatal AI robocar and self-driving fails are another swamp and sure cause for endless litigation.
I think SpaceX might well go with Tesla, another troubled mess only held up by government subsidies. The Boring Company? How are flamethrower and chainsaw sales holding up?
Because the tech bros, crypto bros (the same bunch) and the Trumpite regime are 100% grifters, liers, thieves, drug addicts and sexual degenerates, their decisions are not good ones and they lack competence in dealing with the real world.
They tend to fritter away their inherited wealth or end up in jail for fraud. You have to call them stupid, too, if all their choices are wrong ones.
It's so obvious to a normal person that Musk and trump are raving lunatic drug addicts, holding positions of incredible power only because of daddy's money. Only our plutocratic system of fantastic inequality would allow such human scum to rise to the top. Even their families hate them, and for good reasons.
Does trump think Americans are going to put up with an acting president from apartheid South Africa, a good pal of Vlad Putin? Who always dresses in black like a Columbine shooter or the gestapo: and always wears Tonton Macoute Haitian torturer sunglasses. Above the law and untouchable. For now.
Obviously constantly out of his skull on ketamine and powerful weed, the richest man in the world (for now) cutting off essential aid to Americans in need.
Now, what's my incentive to not serve a molotov cocktail to an ugly-ass, pedestrian killing, unattended Cybertruck? I'd feel bad about the air pollution but otherwise righteous.
A president shilling cars on the lawn of the White House as a fundraiser for the richest man in the world. How did Americans get so fucking stupid to elect this waste of skin? Can't blame superb Russia propaganda for all of it.
Neither man has the least shred of worth and never did a kind or good thing in their lives. But here we are.

So your billionaires are good and Trumps billionaires are good. Biden never did anything wrong, apart from nearly starting world three,

@tmaxyb April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

These people are talking up extremism on the left. I just can't believe that we are back to this crap.

@stevehowell231 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

What a vile channel.

@OHexpat12 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

This interview is so full of signaling and cross-references that it becomes difficult to follow the conversation.

@jimbreese3736 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

As a socialist from the UK we also think that Starmer needs to go. His policies are far right wing and he sychophantically follows Trump policies.

@brianwilliams4883 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Your right musk wants to rule the world with his money and tech influencing the public and distorting the news.

@FilippoSperanza-o8y April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

He’s just a stupid little boy with too much money and a rigid Nazi formation. Everything he says basically has Nazi roots.

@FilippoSperanza-o8y April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Musk should be arrested and banned from Europe. As for Starlink, I think he can make a much more satisfyingng personal use of each satellite.

@alexisserra1699 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Nations seem to forget, that Trump is a legitimate convicted felon, that was voted into office by stupid dumb trumpeters, who he insulted, by stating, that he loves stupid people, and only wants their votes, and he was supported by Musk, who openly bought votes, and he is enabled by corrupt, greedy, tech CEO billionaires who own, Google, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, all drunk on controlling global tech communication's software, cyber network, etc., because humans on a global scale and countries, are dependent upon their software and tech communication. And Musk has been given unfretted power in government contracts, which is taxpayers money to amass, wealth and build SpaceX, Telsa, Starlink. and buy Twitter X. All of this is used to bully world leaders, spread propaganda to topple governments, and blackmail countries into submission. And people like Trump, who is a convicted felon, pathological liar, who cannot be trusted, threatens countries for self-enrichment, and a monster to woman, should not be allowed to enter countries

@Moa-u7f April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Question: By withholding the full scope of Project 2025, and de facto launching it as they have from Day One, could Trump, his Campaign, and/or the Republican Party itself backing him as their nominee not be charged with Voter Fraud (or other charges of similar calibre) and a second election be called? Particularly in light of all the existing convicted criminality in this party and the illegality and new crimes with with they have proceeded in their first 2 months. Is this full-fledged abortion of this Government takeover/Coup on the table and being studied yet?

@Sumaya-12432 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Is he speaking in past tense? It hasn't been Rhodesia since 1980. 🤔 🤨

@WNT2BLV April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

Musk is and has always been a GRIFTER!

@krisrodrigues1 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

So much political philosophy and we have each side playing virtuous. The truth is the corruption runs deep on both sides. Do you wonder why people are driven to the right and even the far right? Is money the bottom line? Racism is that the bottom line? If you hate the right and what is going on now you must look to the left and open your eyes to all the bad goings on there. And now both sides can get so wrapped up in endless political philosophy, they overlook the simple thing that is happening and which both sides will tremendously regret. I should not even say because of you are still blind to it at this point you will most likely remain willfully blind and ignorant even if somone spells it straight out to you. Regardless, why rant on endlessly about all this political philosophy about all you hate about the right without taking any responsibility for as leftists for having driven the world now towards it? Meanwhile, the real enemy has no political alliances but rather is purely evil. It does not care about your philosophies, your money, your race and gender.

Professor Gonzalez will all of this function in the wake of all of these cuts and furthermore will the government be able to provide services?

@glenfordburrell2133 April 4, 2025 - 5:01 pm

As a middle-aged black male of Caribbean descent. I am not afraid to admit that never have I felt so intimidated as I have done so within these last last couple of years. Prior to Trump's victory, I just felt scared, all the time – every single day! As every aspect of our lives was to be dictated from our intimate relationships with colleagues, friends, and family to our places of worship.
Nothing seemed to make any sense anymore!

Post Trump victory, people seem to be happier. Conversation between myself and colleagues is less measured. There is certainly a whiff of wellbeing in the air.
Ask yourself this question. Was you truly happier during the Biden presidential term than what you are under Trump?
