    I don’t know that we should be advocating for violence here. If we do that, we may find our opponents responding by doing the same, resulting in a positive feedback loop of escalation. I mean it’s not like they [checks notes] carefully planned and organized a rally based on an extremely inflammatory lie, riled up the attendees, told them to fight, sent them to the Capitol Building resulting in an angry mob that stormed the Capitol while actively calling for the deaths of the VP and several members of Congress, killing some people and vandalizing the offices of Congress…oh, no. Well, at least they weren’t pardoned for their flagrant, violent insurrection…oh, no. You know what? Just disregard my earlier comments. Carry on.

      We don’t need violence to deal with Musk, I agree.

      We can do far worse. We can strip him of his US government contracts, seize all of his US assets, and ban him from ever setting foot on US soil again.

      He’s always been rich since birth, but what he really craves is attention and adulation. He literally believes he’s Homo Superior, and deserves worship.

      He’ll still be rich, but the blow to his fragile pubescent ego would be devastating.

          Sorry, not giving you a pass. Writing a block of text and then going “Oh nevermind” doesn’t mean you don’t get held responsible for everything you wrote.

          Piss off with that.

            It’s an obvious farce from the beginning with a direct reference to the violence of the J6 insurrection. It would have been a lot harder to make it any more transparent without just ham-fistedly commenting, “J6 bad. Violence justified.” I’m definitely not asking for a pass. I stand by what I wrote. It seems we have different interpretations of its meaning.
