The same is true for the HN comment I replied to, which was basically going *shrug*, but also without any army to enforce that. So I pointed out that some people went beyond just shrugging, because it could not go on like this; and here i

If Musk wants "zero regulations as a baseline" for the US you can call that an educated prediction. And he seems to be just generally attacking all sorts of things he has no clue about, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com

Well, the German AfD, which Musk calls Germany's "only hope", may pay lip service about illegal immigration, but really means Deutschland für Deutsche . They're eating more chalk but you're not gonna tell Germans w

Well, even to genuinely protect children it often means removing things from impacting them. You don't give a newborn honey; we don't invent some kind of pill that allows us to give them honey on day 1, they can't deal with h

He wasn't criticizing illegal immigration, but immigration full stop. And his solution is supporting Nazis that want to do away with democracy. Also, the way he just makes shit up constantly, he doesn't get to talk about censorshi

No, it's because it's not true, we actually like the things because they make life better for regular people, and not just the rich who exploit them. Universal healthcare, social welfare, consumer protection, environmental regulat

If it would make the greed and exploitation that form people like Musk go away without a trace and forever, I'd happily to be paralyzed for the rest of my life. Nobody would even have to know and thank me for it, as long as I knew...

And if Germany was "renamed" by another country, it would signify a shift of something. Just like the difference you mentioned are based on massively important historical events.
