I seem to have struck a nerve. I wonder why this bothers you so much?

Well first of all, xkcd.com/386. And also: because I don't like fascism or promoting the spread of fascism.

Obviously that’s not the image they present to population of the regions they take. But you knew what I was claiming they are incompetent at.

There's a saying that reading history may help prevent repeating the mistakes of history. You should try some of that.

To reiterate: the reason to be anti-fascist has absolutely nothing to do with how good they are at doing things and I don't see any good reasons to hide this fact.

The actual "easy" part is that you can sue anyone for pretty much anything. Suing is entirely different from winning the case.

Why they think they have a chance of winning is the weirder question, especially when Musk publically told the advertisers to go fuck themselves.

Honestly, this shit needs to stop. Acknowledging that some fascists have been good at something at some point does not detract in any way from being anti-fascist.

If you claim that fascist are dumb, stupid and can achieve nothing, what do you think the masses will think about your message when the fascists turn out to be competent? They will wonder what other things you are wrong about.

So I say to you: stop being a fascist enabler.

That's just ignoring history. There are plenty of good reasons to hate the Nazis without needing to do that.

In the similar way, it's not necessary to dismiss Soviet Union's early modernization successes in order to blame them for their crimes against humanity.

I kinda feel like the people who worked on putting Trump under the fucking guillotine deserve to be fired for failing to do so.

If the Marxist is Russian, I'm pretty confident I'd be able to shoot myself twice in the head in that room.

Fuck that shit answer. I'd shoot myself twice.

Net profits $2.3B. "Poor financial results". How does one reconcile these two things?

But yeah, I live in a country that has had about 0% growth since 2008 :-| Perhaps this is bad news for you rich yankees.

Also note that the automotive industry seems to be pretty much flatlining for the last 5 years or so: https://www.vettafi.com/indexing/index/autos -- so Tesla is not doing particurarily badly in the large picture.

I must be a classy enlightened centrist since I have never had my words removed.
