  I agree with what you’re saying generally.

  But in the context of X, and Meta too. These are Nazi echo chambers. By design. It’s not an environment generally conducive to getting through to folks.

  If someone was closed-minded, you know around a campfire smoking a joint, I could probably plant some seeds right.

  But on X, I don’t think there’s anything I could say that would cut through their cognitive dissonance.

  Nazis don’t understand different perspectives. It’s essentially the definition.

  That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don’t go on Twitter).

  But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?

  Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.

  There is a grain of truth and all of that.

  It was essentially an IT department under the executive branch, the I don’t think anybody had even been staffed at since September. Trump basically renamed it and gave it a new mission statement.

  They picked a department, and converted it into Doge. They did this essentially to bypass congressional approval, because the department was already there.
