For the people pissed off every time I say that the civil war did sweet fuck all to put an end to slavery in the USA, stop and listen to this. Slavery never stopped — it just saw that plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to change it's face into what we know today as "the industrial prison complex."

One thing Musk misses because he doesn't believe we can, is that we ordinary folks also have drones. And probably spaceships, too. But definitely drones. He envisions foot soldiers and mobs vs drones. It's not what he'll get.
Yep. @polphilpod.bsky.social and I made this point in this essay on Elon Musk's real fascist worldview, which all of you should read if you haven't yet, because (we immodestly insist) it breaks new ground. Also see the interview with one of the authors of "Muskism." newrepublic.com/article/2119...
