That's the good thing about conspiracy theories. Hard to falsify.
Quite a few of those conspiracy theories are starting to look preeetty attractive these days.
Last time I checked, I hadn't gotten any more schizophrenic than I haven't been all my life, but - you never know.
Always watch out for misinformation, folks. If in doubt - Russia invaded Ukraine. I mean, unless they didn't. (But they did.)
Whose line was it again, anyway?

Whatever they promised and people voted for by believing in those promises. People wanted a strong man, and they basically got it. I understand markets can be irrational blah blah, but still surprised how people with money aren’t shipping it away or storing it somewhere more safe looking at the current situation.
They also wanted people who wouldn't spend money on "stupid programs", which is basically anything there isn't an immediately obvious reason for. A lot of work that government programs do is data-gathering and preparation for other, more obviously helpful programs. But these clowns don't seem to understand that, at all. They also don't seem to understand that a lot of work isn't profit-oriented (which is the only thi…
Some have said that the folks running DOGE follow an Anarcho-capitalist philosophy. According to Wikipedia, that philosophy "seeks to abolish centralized states in favor of stateless societies with systems of private property enforced by private agencies." If so, I don't think they care if it's a "good" program or a "bad" program, they just want to reduce the size of government. Some might say, they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but their goal might be to throw out the baby, bathwater and the tub.

Afghanistan has that. Instead of landlords, they have warlords, just a different term for the same thing. Why is anybody interested in repeating that thing?
I've been told that billionaires think differently than the rest of us, but I still can't fathom why someone would want to be the king of a shit hole when they could be richer as a regular citizen of a liberal democracy. Why do they hate our success?

#117A bit tangent, and since I’m an outsider who doesn’t live in the states and have no skin in the game — my understanding is, they will do literally anything to make sure DOGE succeeds, because a failure is basically unacceptable. I can’t even imagine how you can backtrack this, and fix stuff up. They obviously prepared for it months in advance. Targeting ex-employees of successful product companies and putting them in…
I think they will declare mission accomplished. MAGAs will swallow it like it's ambrosia of the gods, people who voted didn't support him as a messiah will shrug and hope for tax breaks, the rest of us know it's a grift.

I would frame that as being motivated to satisfy their base, vs being motivated to succeed. Success usually has a positive connotation, and they don't seem to be doing a particularly good job if you take the "reduce the size of the government" goal at face value (they are making messes everywhere they go, with the government shrinking slower than normal attrition...).
Their bases in this context is also one or two men, not voters.
Their base is the MAGA gestalt. They like you imply do follow the will of one man however, so that's not far from the truth, but they also have a guaranteed 30% of the voting population no matter what the gestalt Prime does to them or the USA

Implying that DOGE bozo is law-compliant while breaking laws and destroying trust is...humor too soon?

#120None of the info listed is classified or secret. This article reeks of disinformation.
