I think individualism has gone too far. We pander too much to each person’s individual rights, and not each person’s individual responsibilities. I’m not talking about human rights here, I’m not talking about labour rights or any of the genuinely important stuff.

I’m talking about the self important experiences of the individual. The idea that someone has the right to believe whatever they want without responsibility to those around them. The most obvious answer is anti-vaxxers that spread literal lies. Whatever about vaccine hesitancy when there is legitimate peer reviewed medical potential for harm, there are levels of hesitancy. But when it goes to the point of fabricating data and spreading lies that will ultimately only cause harm to society, then in that case I’m ok with those people having any free speech rights voided, including full legal culpability for the harm it causes, akin to medical terrorism.

Where established data shows that people are contributing harm to society, contradicting scientifically proven data, and a person deliberately continues to spread misinformation when they are informed that they are causing harm, then they clearly do not care for the protection of the community, they should have forego societal protections for themselves, rights to free speech, rights to own property, and where necessary incarceration. If you’re in a position of power/authority or have specific training in the field, then you should face exponentially greater legal consequences for this deliberate harm.

Many people may agree with the general principles of this sentiment but as a society we are not ready to have that conversation, because the first person to be locked up would trigger a mass protest not widespread agreement. All because we have permitted individualism to far overpower the importance of collectivism. Rights should not be absolute they should always be coupled to responsibilities. Even if that responsibility is simply not to cause deliberate harm to others.

And the idea that someone’s beliefs about reality are somehow important to uphold. That the person above believes they are not doing harm, despite being told otherwise, that this idea should hold any weight in court is wrong. People should be informed of their ignorance and measurable reality is the only true reality that should be taken into account . Just like ignorance of the law is not a defence, ignorance of reality should not be a defence.

If a person is spreading misinformation that causes harm, they should be served a legal notice that outlines that they have been “judged to have been causing harm to society by spreading information that is adjudicated as false and harmful by an sanctioned and independently operated committee, whose ruling has been further agreed upon by a plurality of specialist training bodies in the relevant field. The only entities who contradict this societally important and data derived ruling are those that mean harm to society or those without the relevant knowledge base to make any informed statements on the matter. As of this point you will be treated as the former now that you have been served notice that the information you are spreading is factually incorrect and harmful. If you continue to spread this misinformation you sacrifice a portion or all of your rights afforded to you by this society. Your assets can be seized, you may be incarcerated, and your access to any and all communication with other humans may be partially or entirely withheld. This is a measure to combat information terrorism.”

Civil liberties are a privilege not an inalienable right.

You might think this sounds dystopian but it’s my answer to your question. Obviously it needs baked in failsafes to stop a small few individuals from corrupting it for authoritatian abuse. But just because something could be hypothetically abused doesn’t make it a bad idea. You just need to insulate against the abuse.

“solar energy,” and “geothermal,” as well as “nuclear energy” are all banned.

From now on they are to be referred to as “sun coal” “volcanic coal” and “atom coal”

I mean statistically women outnumber men. So if we’re hiring men we are hiring from a minority pool and it’s statistically unlikely we are getting the best people for the job. Men are DEI hires

Despite Trump affirming Cabinet authority, he warned departments to make cuts or face Musk’s intervention. Lawsuits and internal resistance continue to challenge DOGE’s sweeping changes.

This is the real meat of the article.

Musk makes changes to federal government.
Unelected private citizen and world’s richest parasite, so trump’s government is facing a swathe of lawsuits and they are afraid.
Trump orders the individual departments to do “exactly as Musk would do” or else he will get someone else to do their job for them.

Basically DOGE is too much of a lawsuit magnet so he’s threatening a broad selection of faceless government departments to do the exact same thing, in the hope it’s harder to trace and sue with class action

“My legs hurt”

By repeatedly calling for arrests he’s trying to normalise this rhetoric as part of his position.

Keep reminding everyone he’s an unelected civilian with Trump on a very short leash calling for arrests of private citizens. This is never normal and is just as reprehensible the 100th time as the first time.

Keep calling it out.

And keep asking elected officials especially republicans, who seem up for sale to the highest bidder, how much you have to pay to get musk imprisoned with a long prison sentence, because we’re all willing to chip in, and we will even let them seize and keep his assets too if it removes his face and voice from every story on every feed

Also he wasn’t arrested by the his political opponent, Biden has absolutely nothing to do with this process… everything that happens here is a result of trumps actions, which broke specific laws, and the DOJ is doing their fucking job enforcing those laws.

Don’t want to be arrested? don’t do crime, simple as. Listen to your lawyers they’re trying to stop you doing crime
