News that made me ask who voted for eggs to be $10
We don't live in a democracy
Hiii, I had a pretty healthy breakfast this morning! Today I’m sharing my feelings about Elon’s “coup”. Onto the news…
News that made me ask who voted for eggs to be $10
Everywhere I go on the internet all I hear and see is Elon Musk’s face and name. Elon Musk’s teens have taken control of the treasury and it turns out one of them is a racist. Elon Musk is attempting to trick federal workers into quitting. Elon Musk is Time magazine’s person of the year. Elon Musk is ugly and no one wants to see his face. Okay that last one was from me but you get my point. Everyone is losing it over Elon and his “coup” of the government.
Before I get into my thoughts about Elon’s coup, let me get some things off my chest.
One of Elon’s tweens being a racist is not surprising. Isn’t being a fulltime racist part of the job description for Elon’s stooges?
Time magazine once again has proven that no one should trust corporate media. Having the nerve to name a literal TV villain as person of the year should be grounds for everyone to laugh loudly at the editors of Time magazine. Of all the people in the world, you choose a white supremacist whose wealth is built on genocide as your person. I mean you couldn’t have picked another widely hated white man with less issues? Was Ben Affleck busy?
Okay, now let’s talk about Elon’s alleged coup.
So Elon is committing a coup because his Department of Government Efficiency is seizing important aspects of the federal government even though no one elected him.
I have a question to ask. Can Elon, a wealthy man, commit a coup if the government is already run for and by wealthy people? I’m asking because all the outrage to Elon’s behavior stems from the notion that the United States of America is a government by the people for the people, not because I want white racist teens running around the capitol. I don’t want white racist teens running anywhere, unless it’s into the ocean. No, I'm not sorry about that very morbid joke.
Can we please stop pretending like Elon Musk is getting rid of democracy? We don’t live in a democracy. Corporations and the wealthy elites run the government and our economy. Didn’t the genocide that everyone wanted to stop other than the weapons manufacturers prove that to everyone?
Aren’t our daily material lives proof that the government isn’t here for us? Who voted for eggs to cost $10? (TBH I don’t know how much eggs cost ‘cause I’m a vegan but I’ve been hearing people complain about it a lot.) Who voted for healthcare to be so expensive that WebMD and Reddit are our primary care physicians? No one! It’s happening because to quote a study from two professors who concluded America is run by the elites, “Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.”
So no, I don’t support Elon Musk and his Muskettes running around town actively destroying people’s lives. All I’m asking is can we stop pretending like he is destroying some sacred democracy that once served the people?
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
This week on TikTok I posted a clip about fascism.
