@TimothyDSnyder Isn't the primary function of govt to protect the citizens. In a highly individualistic society (esp by conservatives), the main functions of govt are rendered impotent. The US is not fit for the challenges of the modern world. We face global challenges, Coperation is necessary.

@AkademiskC Trump is an out and out fascist. Trump/Musk now making it a criminal offence for employers to have diversity measures in hiring. He has decapitated the FBI (will be a combination of Gestapo & Stasi) & CIO who will be now dedicated to being anti China.

@LeonSimons8 As we warm up, these unknown positive feedbacks are going to appear. The models need a major revision.

It is always the same with fascists, they want the government to finance them, free of charge, to the tune of $15 billion, while Musk now super wealthy starves children. A special level of narcissist and psychopath.

@LeonSimons8 From a theoretical point of view I was wondering was there a particular depth limit that would be reached. It is fascinating science. Just awful for humanity and the biosphere.

@HedyLamarr0629 @JKSteinberger ya, but the ground was fertile. That stuff would not work in Ireland, last 4 decades. But the US is still highly religious, and they have moved into the GOP. A strategy by Pat Buchanan. Reagan courted the religious right.

@HedyLamarr0629 @JKSteinberger ya, The US is a special case. Its mostly a cultural effect, and a product of being highly religious, especially evangelical Christian, or fundamentalists which persuades people not to think, and defer to authority.

@HedyLamarr0629 @JKSteinberger In the US, it is. This figure was established by a study by Dean and Altemyer (2020). Bob Altemyer devised the right wing authoritarian scale. I know this, because this is my area. In other countries it is lower.

@DavidHe96684876 @JacquiD69167 @YourAnonCentral BYD will buy Tesla within 5 years. Musk will be bankrupt after 4.

@itsrjfinnegan @YourAnonCentral Get of the drugs dude. EV sales are up, but Tesla is way down, 75% in Spain, where they hate fascism and Musk. The more they hate Musk, the more sales are down. Many gave sold their Teslas, or ware badges that they "bought it before Musk went crazy".

RT @Mollyploofkins: This is all very 1930s Germany.

Telsa swasticars are tanking in Europe, Asia, & California. Musk is doing his best to energise the opposition to fascism. Yes, the drug addled narcissist Musk is a moron. But sometimes, the effects can be beneficial.

@JohnDug10669659 I checked on who your are following. Uneducated people who are far right. We know from much research that being authoritarian is a strong predictor of climate science denial, as is having a belief in the free market (Lewandonsky & Oberauer, 2021).

@JohnDug10669659 Some reading Which you will not read.

@JohnDug10669659 You are beyond thick, and far too lazy to learn anything. As a psychologist, I recognise closed mindedness, where people will have a fixed view and never change it, despite mountains of evidence. I suggest get a school book on sustainability & climate science.

Trump is old, has dementia, now a puppet of dictator Musk.

RT @abierkhatib: Israel is running death camps not prisons. The man is totally unrecognizable.

When people go hungry in the US, Climate science denier presidents will fall.

Musk is involve with this White supremacist, and declared Holocaust denier, and Hitler fan. Any Nazi, and Musk is attracted to them.

RT @tweet4Anna_NAFO: 🇪🇺 Tesla sales crash up to 63% in Europe. We can only wonder why. 🇪🇸 -75.04% 🇫🇷 -63.4% 🇬🇧 -63.0% 🇩🇪 -59.0℅ 🇵🇱 -50.0℅…

He is the thickest person I have ever met that has not helpers with him. Thickest by far of any leader. This is a combination of dementia, and being a life long BS er.
