The problem isn’t the Elon and co say this. It’s the middle ground people who, for the most part, are reasonable but have little education about politics, and don’t want to participate beyond soundbites.

In this case, the phrase works on two levels.

Most of these people would admit Hitler was bad. So, this reaffirms the statement Communism is bad. Even if they don’t know what Communism is.

For others, Communism is bad. This allows them to hear “We’re not like Hitler” about Elon and Co. They have no idea how bad Elon and Co may be, but at least their not commie pinkos.

The real genius of capitalists has been to persuade the electorate that there are no viable alternatives to capitalism.

Not sure if I am misunderstanding this…

Films usually take some time to make. From what I can surmise, this scene was likely shot before the allegations arose, and for Baldoni to point this out is perhaps an admission of guilt?

A true great of the sandwich world. Just make sure you sit down to eat it.

Agreed. Deep Dish Pizza is an affront to the laws of God and Man. It may only be about 8” across, but it weighs about 10lbs

Why not both?

This is also true

The American equivalent is watching “football” whilst eating a boiled Pigs Anus in a plastic skin, accompanied by a beer that is essentially diluted water.

I know which I’d rather be doing

Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way

That reminds me, anyone know the collective noun for a group of gullible people?

Stocky is what I’d use

Nope. Never met him. I’m sure he’s a lovely chap, but IMHO he’s better suited to a completely different career

He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.

In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.

Just my opinion

He was, and always has been, a tedious actor to watch.

True, but the RnD ain’t cheap. And, if everyone else starts charging (as I am sure they eventually will), Apple will follow.

Genmoji is a waste of space. The image generation is really bad (but then again, most of these platforms are). The writing tools are mediocre. About all that is moderately useful is that Siri seems a little better and processing commands.

If they want to start charging for this, I’m out.

Ask the people you label as fascists what they are upset about. Listen with empathy and not judgement. When I’ve done this, many are not as far right as they think.

It’s not enough to judge people as fascists. Anyone who agrees with you is likely in an echo chamber, and those who disagree with you are in another one. This is what it means to know your enemy

The goal of this is to try and persuade the majority of people that he was reasonable. Right now, they’re scared as there are a lot of people talking about serious change. Social change.

Little, however, will come of it unless it coalesces and drags along the majority into opting out of the system.

Until he was arrested, Mangione was Neo in the Matrix. Now he’s be captured, the Agent Smiths of this world are cleaning up

Maybe it’s not enough for you to call it out.

It’s good that you do this, but other people need to learn to recognize it for themselves. I don’t see why images likes this would hurt. The only evil many of these people committed was not thinking for themselves and taking a moral stand. Instead, they got by as best as they could.

I’m not trying to excuse them, but understand them, and that’s part of the problem right now. The current crop of right-wing idealogs think that nobody understands them, except for people like Donald Trump. That’s why the democrats lost.

Typical Boomer/Conservative move. They enjoy something and then enjoy it even more by telling everyone else they’re not allowed to use it.

I wish the press would stop asking fucking celebrities questions about social issues. They do not represent society and never will.
