Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to

Thank you Salamander, I love this instance

the point I did a poor effort getting across was that obama shouldn't be thought of as a leader with his move. like all politicians he follows crowds, elbows his way to the front and gets mistaken for an originator of ideas. Many of them are as bad as movie stars in their pathologic need to be seen and heard, even after they've left office

United America States format

dude what

The politicians represent you in a representative democracy, the whole point of their office is to be open to persuasion. I would be looking at that group's effective network building and asking where are the groups representing my concerns/aspirations with such effectiveness

I hope all aussies don't share your mindset, otherwise it's a lost country

Obama never struck me as being personally interested in the free web, his move to bs shows he's an attention whore who has simply sensed the trend

I don't have a reason to read anything into it. Public speaking is a nervewracking activity, and everyone who's done it can recall one thing they did in the spotlight that they would never have done outside it - a certain turn of phrase, a verbal tic, a gesture, a tone. A man with a long track record of awkward public behaviour, and a bad public speaker at that, tells an audience his heart goes out to them, and then gestures emphatically to that effect. I know that calls for shit-flipping and general hysteria on Lemmy.World, but that's because LW is for all intents and purposes the 'Reddit instance', not because Musk's behaviour was inherently offensive.

It would have been so easy for the ADL to pile on and call it fascist, given its own backgound. Whether they are right or not isn't important, what matters is they were slow to judge. Perhaps there's some political calculus in that choice, perhaps not. We know who took the easy option though: Ocasio-Cortez, leading from behind (like all politicians do) by working out her constituency's bias, then airing that bias publicly.
