alt Hacker NewsI'm not even sure what politics is anymore. I'm largely not on social media, so I am generally late to what's taboo or a hot button topic, like Tesla automobiles and SpaceX, or anything else connected to a billionaire.
In 2025, but before the Tesla burnings made the news, I was having some chitchat about possibly purchasing a Tesla as my next car, at which point, I got a tirade of anger mentioning words like "Nazi", "fascism" and so on. I was completely taken aback.
I realize we Americans are probably undergoing the results of some adversarial nation-state psychological operations[1], but we really need to chill out.

So you don't pay attention to national politics at all (not enough to be even a little bit aware of Elon Musk's very visible and loud 5 year long descent into Nazi ideology? really?) but you've analyzed things enough to determine that all of this was the result of a foreign psy-op. Right.
