I’m as far from a Musk fan as you can get, but this whole narrative of him causing serious damage to the Ukrainian effort because of Starlink smells like western media establishing a fall guy to point to for when the effort ultimately fails. The US gov has subsidized ALL of his businesses so heavily, if Starlink were really that valuable to the operation, they would have forced his hand one way or the other. I was equally as skeptical when they touted Starlinks value in the very beginning of the dispute.

There’s still this lib part in my brain that says “iF wE aDvOcAtE vIoLeNcE, tHeY’lL uSe It To JuStIfY tHeIrS!”, while of course, staring at the obvious reality that they are using one example of graffiti and another example of reminding CPC patients about their reproductive rights against a litany of examples of real threats and violence against Planned Parenthood and Abortion clinics.
Whether CPCs should be getting firebombed is secondary to the fact that they currently aren’t despite the claim.

It’s illegitimate to pretend like there hasn’t been a organized and concerted effort by elites controlling all forms of popular media to quell the left’s point of view for over 50 years. Where’s the lefty viral artists?
