Liberals are fixated on the fact that these guys are young, which is a reactionary take in my opinion. The fact that
is a gerontocracy run by ancient rich vampires fucking sucks and is a huge impediment to improving the quality of life for workers. The issue is not that they're kids--it's that they're cryptofascist computer-touching Thiel-bros who are thinly disguised pawns of
. Criticizing them on the basis of their age instead of their actions and ideology is a red herring that only serves to reinforce existing power.
- What sucks about Amerikkka literally is that the only alternative to stuck-in-their-ways boomers that insist on never retiring are “le epic troll” zoomers that know what they’re doing is wrong, and are doing it anyways as a joke.
  
  It's just a """joke""", but they actually mean it
- good take because half of the ghouls in the senate would want to do the same anyway.
- The way to make a criticism involving their age without being reactionary is to put it in context.
  That can be the context of human brain development, pointing out that impulse control and decision making abilities are literally not fully formed at their age. Or the (related) context of the power dynamic between them and their much-older superiors.
  It's reactionary to attack the age directly, and therefore denigrate young people broadly. As usual, what matters is the intersection of their age and other factors.
- Criticizing them on the basis of their age instead of their actions and ideology is a red herring that only serves to reinforce existing power.
  I agree, instead of just age they really should hammer home these people are so inexperienced they don't have a proven track record of leadership.
  But I guess that's the point, they're loyal to Musk
  
  Nor do they have especially good ideas. I think there can be a place in political organization--even in leadership--for people who don't already have a ton of experience, especially if they're working in concert with people who do have the experience. Again, I think the problem is that to the extent that these guys have any vision or values, it's "let's burn it all down and install Peter Thiel as CEO of the government." There's a lot to criticize about those values without even touching anything about these people personally. Their youth is only relevant insofar as it makes them perhaps easier to influence.

In a decade this will go 1 of two ways, either these people will be hanged upside down in the street, or they'll be defended by Democrats as experienced bureaucrats and experts in the field of government efficiency.
- Why not both?

Also, r/whitepeopletwitter has been temp banned on Reddit for doxing all of their addresses.
- How are they cooler than us
  
  They're not cooler than us, just more visible.
  Edit: to be fair, I actually am not sure if it was whitepeopletwitter who doxed them, but they've been sharing the doxxed information from what I can tell.
  
  Tell them to come here lol

Wait is this really what DOGE consists of? Really?
- Because it's so absurd- yes, these are the people dismantling the US administrative state
  
  I'm more and more convinced of the theory that Imperial decline is accelerated because only its builders understood it properly, the successors genuinely believe the justifications given by the builders and thus self-sabotage it. What a timeline.

I unironically think these people are just "friends" Elon made on 4chan and he thinks they're all in on one big huge prank but they're just using him and his influence to fsu
- 4chan, the clownworld LinkedIn

The result of Elon's search for the world's smartest fascists

When I was 24 I was doing important things. Like moderating leftist shitposting forums
- I just used to get high all the time, I'm still getting high wherever I can, but is not the same.

I hate libertarian Lando Norris in the top right with a burning passion
- You can't do that to Lando lol
  
  I support shaving this kids head to protect Lando's image

hitler youth type beat

We need to call the Bully Union are these nerds.

hatred for high school nerds is justified

If someone end in jail after all this shit, is going to be them.
- Yup lol. So so many crimes committed and I doubt Trumps gonna pardon everywhere.

The issue is that bullying them would lead to more than just school shootings.

Why does the first guy look like Tucker Carlson

Damn, is A1 a young Tucker Carlson?
