Musk is switching sides in this war because he needs his puppet to get a win.

It’s a shame the ADL refused to call him what he is when it mattered: a nazi.

Musk doesn’t fit the ADL’s definition of anti-semite, which is anyone who opposes the State of Israel.

Let’s be real. Elon could have gotten all this info from his friends in Beijing.

Canadians sure haven’t!

And the fact that it was actually British regulars…

Payment for services rendered.

That’s exactly how long you can stay in the country under the visa waver program.

If you have to stay longer you can get a B1/B2 visa.

This whole DeepSeek freakout seems like an Op by the AI grifters to get more money. “We have to defeat China at the new AI space race!”

The thing is I don’t drive unless I’m carrying stuff, so a car without cargo space isn’t useful.

Minivans are the best. I own a DGC built in Ottawa. Reliable AF. Huge cargo capacity. Gets 21MPG on the highway. Basically use it as a truck, but it’s way more practical than a truck because the cargo capacity is more and your stuff doesn’t get wet when it rains.

Only real downsize is tow capacity.

That’s the thing, Canada is mostly a raw materials exporter and the main importer is US industry.

It’d basically be like when China tried to “Wolf-warrior” Australia and ended up with coal, pork and grain shortages.

I once knew—socially—a guy who served as a roaming CEO for a private equity firm. Basically they’d buy a company, and bring him in, and he’d fire a bunch of people. He was a hatchet man.

He was a really friendly guy, witty, caring, fun to hang out with. Once we got on the subject of the diffulcuties of management and he told this story of an executive that he was trying to mentor, but who didn’t make the cut and he had to fire them. He seemed genuinely sad that he couldn’t make it work.

The thing is, this is a guy responsible for firing thousands or tens of thousands of people in his career. His whole job is basically to fire people. But he only thinks and ruminates about the one executive. That one bothers him, the thousands don’t even really register to him.

These people fundamentally do not see people 2+ levels below them as human, fundamentally. And to the extent that, in the abstract, they understand that the plebs at the bottom are not different than the people they know and care about, there is a wall in their minds that prevent them from linking their own actions to the tragedies that befall their victims. They will tell themselves that they were actually victims of circumstance, that the market determined their fate, and that there was nothing that could be done. Or it was their own fault.

So when it finally breaks through and they see the hate in the public’s eyes as we point our fingers at them and say “you did this” they are genuinely baffled.

As demonstrated by @theangryseal@lemmy.world the zionists in America are not all Jewish. In fact, there are likely many more evangelical zionists in the USA than Jewish zionists. Also, most of the jews I know (especially younger ones) are anti-zionist.

But cheers on the Israel=Judaism hasbara

That’s too 5-d chess for “the US” to pull off. I find it more plausible that the US supports Israel because Israel has a lot of powerful supporters in the US who manipulate public opinion and government policy.
