I don’t think tanks, missiles and boots on the ground cares too much about elections! Trump is a facist and he’ll use the American empire military and economic force to bend other nations to his will!
Any “leader” of a Latin American country aligned with the USA is essentially American Operatives such as Javier, Jair Bolsonaro, Michel Temer( American Spy according to wiki leaks).
Loopholes aren’t bugs but features! In a capitalist society, the laws are made by the wealthy and the ones they sponsor to be representatives!
Brazilian here, the court couldn’t find anyone in Brazil that represents X to pay the fines and to block the accounts spreading lies about the anti-democratic events of January of last year. Since Elon Musk is one of the major shareholder of both companies they connected the dots and Starlink has representatives in Brazil their account was frozen in order to get the fines owed by Musk’s other company. Later the government found out Starlink was not blocking access to X as any other internet provided was instructed to do so.
Musk is a big supporter of Far-right Brazilians including former president Bolsonaro and his political allies. It was during Bolsonaro’s government that Brazilian army switched to use Starlink.
The free speech agenda that Musk is advertising is not the main issue here but a government that goes against Musks interests and his companies.
When did the US change from America first policy? It’s been the same since its inception!
So you don’t like the term capitalism, what is the synonym you use instead?
Do you think our society doesn’t live under the capitalism system or the fact the problem is the capitalism it doesn’t go well with you?
By the way I’m not judging you by any means, I just want to understand your point of view!
Market has always existed before capitalism! We are lead to believe the market would exist if not in a capitalist society! I just recently joined the mailing list from https://marxist.ca/ to know more! I’m not part of the group but reading the resources can guide you to overcome the myths and lies about socialism and communism!
There isn’t any easy fix to something complex as our current socioeconomic arrangement, however we should point out the root cause of our current affairs is due to the nature of capitalism!
This is just one of the effects of late stage capitalism in a first world country! Any suggestion other than move from a capitalist society is like treating cancer with rubbing alcohol!
Because they’re infringing the law of that country! In order to operate a business in any country any company must follow the local regulations! Elon Musk does not complain when the Saudi Government orders X to ban anyone for any reason, guess who backs Musk’s companies?
Capitalism is working as designed!
Eat the rich!! Some BBQ sauce please, Elon you f&@2 Cvnt you are the first…..
Is the opposite of your conclusion!
Maybe the problem is called “capitalism” and everyone else is trying to find a solution to solve this problem by ignoring the root cause!
I’m avoiding because is Meta, deleted FB and Instagram in 2015 and WhatsApp when they merged the accounts! Already blocked Threads domain on my Pi-hole!
