    It’s incredibly sad that they will never have consequences from what they did with this. Any functioning society will lock Musk and everyone up as soon as possible

    The armed guards in the lobby of the first agency they raided should have shut down the DOGE Pirates right there in that lobby with extreme prejudice. That’s the very reason they carry guns. Instead, they just let them in.

    Then we could have fought it out in court, like we should have.

    I hope this doesn’t mean USDS shuts down. I wanted to apply there assuming it would return back to its software development roots.

    They probably reached their goal. It was never about efficiency. That was just the PR spin to sell it to the public. It was about getting rid of pesky regulatory bodies which stood in the way of making more money. Especially those who hindered Musk’s companies.

    The USA is currently experiencing the end phase of capitalism: massive corruption turning into open corruption with an economic oligarch class fusing with the government, massive income gaps and problems for regular citizens, class and culture wars plus reappearance of fascism to keep the population busy with culture wars among themselves instead of uniting against the exploiters, and so on. But it just started in USA. It’s already swapping over to other western democratic countries as well.

    You becoming a neo-nazi by constantly being served right-wing propaganda on company-controlled social media channels is better for their business than if you were a neutral, critical thinker. It’s why Twitter was worth the 40 billion for Musk. Not because he expects it to ever repay itself. But because he can produce more loyalists by influencing what the algorithm shows and hides for you. Nazis are great for them because they’re busy fighting against other parts of the population while giving the wealthy class a free pass to do what they want. Which is more money, more influence, more exploitation.

    It ain’t over until members of DOGE and Musk have been put to sleep. They will just do this again, when the Regime needs vandals to do the dirty deeds.

    Bunch of fucking murderous pieces of shit. They all deserve to be publicly beaten within an inch of their lives. Then they deserve to be denied medical assistance. I hope they all drown in baby shit.

      Also defunding arts, sciences, academia, and anything that might improve people’s lives, and making minorities suffer more.

        There’s is book from 2010 about this topic, the author and title escape me at the moment, but it explains that this is the path the USA is on on purpose to create good little obedient workers who have no critical thinking skills from arts and literature education.

        In addition, the exfiltration of data to foreign/other bad actors as well as building dossiers on all Americans. The pile of shit perpetrated is quite large.
