What is the argument you are trying to make?
It's a "gotcha" question that suggests the poster of it is spending a bit too much time obsessing about it in the circles they run in.

It is bad for the rest of the world but the rest of the world has an exit. Call your representatives and stop using US dollar for trade. Literally, that one action alone will save a lot of grief for people outside the US. This is not a joke. What will sting Elon, Trump and crooks the most is losing their wealth. The rest of the world does not need to suffer for these crooks.
That’s wishful thinking… One can’t simply stop using USD for trade on a whim. Decoupling will take at least a decade if not longer.
Europe manages to use the Euro just fine.

#274This is very similar to when the CDC stopped recording defensive gun use statistics! The pendulum is certainly swinging, on the other hand, I think we should retain data even if it doesn’t align with the current administration. I think it’s important that people should record data that they value, independent of governments, so they can maintain a source of truth throughout time. Articles from Axios, NYT and posts on…
It seems to me that all uses of guns are defensive.

> but half the country welcomed this wave of oppression with open arms. And the other half? They seem to welcome this as well, but with crossed arms. Where are the protests? Seems most people end up writing upset messages on Twitter/Bluesky, but also seems there are no grassroots movements to actually protest the borderline coup that is happening?
What do you propose? The only way to change is either voting, money, or violence. I'm generally lost as what to do.
You left out rhetoric.

Assassination and suicide both seem non-defensive, unless you use a very broad definition of defense.

#277Data is the ultimate Fact Check. This is a President that's adamantly opposed to fact checking [1] and has even coerced Facebook to drop fact checking. Of course they don't want data on government sites that disprove their "alternate facts". [1] https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4920827-60-minutes-tru...

lol if you watch zuck's take on it his problem is the fact checkers ended up being biased.
They sometimes are. If you're using a biased source to fact-check, you're just transitively applying that bias.

At this point, being a Musk supporter is nothing to be proud of.
I cancelled a Model 3 order and went with a different EV a few years ago. I was starting to soften my stance, and considering a Tesla for my next, but at this point, I have a hard time accepting the idea that buying one wouldn't send a message of implicit support.
Not just that, but I don't want my reputation tarnished.
