I have thought about it for a while but the US is basically in a cold civil war, with a significant chance of it becoming hot. And it looks very similar to their previous one. Neither side seem to have a charismatic enough leader.
It’s easy to look over the pond and think it’s none of our problem. But if the US falls to chaos a lot of other countries will follow suit. We can already see this influence in the UK and I’d argue many other EU countries. Russia probably saw this weakness, bet on it worsening much quicker than it did, but lost that bet (so far).
With that said, addressing the US as a whole no longer makes sense. I’m sure plenty, plenty of Americans see what is happening.
It’s unfortunate that one of the wealthiest people on this planet has taken the anti-democratic side, but it’s not the first or the last time in history a powerful man, rich beyond measure has done so.
Folks who watched Star Trek and didn’t understand this missed a good chunk of Star Trek. I’d argue most of it.
Star Trek addressed our present a few times. It’s essentially portrayed as a dark age.

Does that extend to employer review websites like GlassDoor?
When you have that much money, does it matter?
Trump and Musk are great examples of being too rich to fall. Once you get to that point, you can fuck the poor as much as you want. The only way for you to fall is to fuck with other powerful people a la that pedo ring leader who was murdered by guards after getting caught.
I would ask about their favourite project for that company. You can gain so much insight from this. Do they look happy when talking about it? Passionate? Overcoming challenges or being defeated? And much more.
The Zuck had been a bigger threat to democracy than Russia until Russia’s failed Ukraine invasion. As long as he’s making more money, it’s all okay.
You wouldn't download a subreddit, would you?
Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.
