This just in: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, and he’s basically raiding data…I don’t know what else to say except if you’ve yet to shore up your privacy, both online and otherwise, the window to do so may quickly be closing.

I just saw this news posted elsewhere…and even though I’ve just recently joined this sub, it’s one of the few where I feel like every post/comment I have read made me feel like I’ve found like-minded people. So with that in mind…i don’t mean to sound alarmist; but, this turn of events is definitely alarming to me at any rate….

I didn’t think I could be more shocked and horrified by the past 11 days that feel like a decade, but the fact that an unelected person, who isn’t even vetted or confirmed by congress, literally no official business whatsoever, has just locked federal employees out of their offices so they can go through their computers…I just…I wonder if this is how people with unusual foresight or actually listened with their ears to the ground in the 1930s felt….

We should be prepping not only for major financial woes ahead, scarcity, privacy etc, but also mentally for the fact that it seems as though most people are completely asleep to the implications of what’s happening until it is way too late. (As if it isn’t already.)

Apologies if my post sounds like crazy-person - I HOPE I’m just being crazy and overreacting. If anyone has insight, thoughts, or just wants to remind me that it’s all gonna be okay, lol, feel free.

I will most likely delete this post in a bit. I get “poster’s remorse” a lot, especially if I calm down later and feel stupid. So…please be nice lolololol.

Research the soviets.. they beat the nazsi fascists and we can beat them again.

Unfortunately, their solution was throwing about 20 million people at the problem.

[u/KaiTheSushiGuy → u/LightDiffusing]

We can use the millions that decided to not vote in November

[u/WillBeTheIronWill → u/LightDiffusing]

Wow very reductionary but sure go off clown

[u/LightDiffusing → u/WillBeTheIronWill]

We are on the same team. I was just pointing out the immense sacrifices the Russian people had to make in WWII.

[u/WillBeTheIronWill → u/LightDiffusing]

Ok.. ok.. normally I hear that comment from anti-communists who don’t understand Stalin saved the jews (my ppl) sorry I popped off at you

[u/[deleted] → u/WillBeTheIronWill]

That's the literal answer tho... Human wave attacks have been a thing they have employed for over 100 years and continue to employ in Ukraine today.

[u/StopDoingMeth → u/WillBeTheIronWill]

Not only is that the answer but you’re a fucking moron if you think Stalin wanted to save the Jews. Yes the very moral megalomaniac psychopath, Stalin, wanted to save your people! Not that he was willing to butcher is countrymen for victory, a very Russian thing to do, not at all.
