The ad The Washington Post refused to run : DeclineIntoCensorship

Then publish it in other newspapers, and any other advertising media that will. At least you know who is working for the Ministry of Truth now.

Truth died in darkness.

Why would the Washington Post (which has nothing to do with Elon Musk) be interested in censoring this ad, if not just to protect their own corporate daddy's oligarchic influence?

The mask isn't just off, it's in the fucking garbage truck.

It's the 1% vs the rest of us and has been for a very long time. But working class people are still fighting each other. Ridiculous.

I know! Maybe if we rephrase it to "top vs bottom", the right won't just propaganda that word too! /s

Reminder that Jeff Bezos can afford to do this because of Amazon. Boycott Amazon.

No one elected this ad either

It's always somebody's money vs somebody else's money.

I prefer Elon

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 months ago

Pathetic.

Eew. Why not just admit you engage in coprophagia as well?

Is refusing to run an advert in a commercial ad spot an infringement of free speach?

Are top government positions usually given away without an election?

Nobody elected the various federal workers who are being fired either.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 52 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

they have very well defined and controlled jobs, responsibilities, access with accountability to peers and superiors. Musk does whatever the fuck he wants wherever whenever with 0 accountability as long as he knows how to play his puppet/master. It's not comparable.

[–] The25003 5 points 2 months ago

I wonder how well he'll be able to play his puppet master, Trump cringed pretty hard during that bit where Elon brought his kid to that press conference.

[–] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 months ago

You’re fucking stupid. I am a federal contractor, and simply to be a contractor you wouldn’t believe the hoops I had to go through! I was vetted thoroughly, and had to get a federal government ID.

Who vetted Elmo?? No one.

Are you suggesting that every civil service position ought to be elected (or that there ought not be a civil service)?

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

He's a troll. All his comments have massive downvotes and he never participates in any respectful productive discussion. Downvote and move on, because engaging with trolls just gives them a chance to say more dumb shit. Like the classic "I'm not a troll, if you disagree with what I said explain how because what I said is true" or whatever other dumb shit they come up with to try to get you hooked so they can say more heinous things.
