flatlined

Putting the fascist back in eco fascist? Honestly with Musk I’m not convinced about the eco part, EVs notwithstanding. Dude seems to just go for stuff he thinks it’s cool, and while I agree on the coolness factor on some (space, electric stuff, videogames) I’m less on board with some of the other stuff (putting too much in space, trying to boringly reinvent the train, trans rights, governmental positions, fascism).

So, we’re gonna tackle bot manipulation for research purposes at the same time we’re gonna deal with bot manipulation for ads and political manipulation, right? Or is it just not okay to do for scientific ends but fine if it’s to sell you shit or advance a political agenda?

To be clear, this is very much not okay, it’s just weird to me that once the goal is to sell you shit people are much more accepting of it as business as usual.
