Imagine being such massive pieces of shit so young.
Why would that be hard to imagine?
Their brains literally aren’t fully formed yet. And the prefeontal cortex is the last to develop.
Younger people will always trend towards “anti establishment” because of it, which makes a political landscape incredibly dangerous when the only two options only care about the wealthy.
The best way to prevent fascism is a pro worker socially progressive party.
Neoliberals stole that from us, then made America play Russian roulette 3x in a row with trump as the gun, and we lost twice.

Your brain works fine when you’re under 25 (no matter how ‘inconvenient’ this fact may be)
In-lieu of the young guys working on Musk’s behalf, the old “Your brain isn’t fully developed until your 25 claim” has emerged yet again
Here’s why it’s BS
until your 25 claim
I do not give weight to words spelled wrong.
I think that was a good read. I think the problem I have is that if I look back at my 20 year old self or my 23-year-old self, I see someone that was extremely self assured but had almost 0 real world experience or context for decision-making about very important things.
I think it is disingenuous to absolve them of all blame, but I don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that it’s not surprising that they are young men given how easy it would be for someone who should be a role model to influence them. Elon Musk’s team is young so he can control them
That feeling never goes away. I’m 50 and consider the 40yo me to have lacked plenty.
Any line thus becomes quite arbitrary. The point is that there really isn’t anything that supports the trope about “not grown until 25”.
You should still have a decent idea of right from wrong.
I wasn’t a perfect adult at that age but I wouldn’t have worked unelected for a billionaire to dismantle a government.
Humans are not innately good, we need socialized like any animal.
Lots of people don’t understand that, and it has terrible consequences
TBH it’s more forgivable with kids. They might grow out of it.
Kids? They can vote. I understand that there’s a gradient of maturity, but we can’t give folks a pass just cause they’re young.
Blood for the ai god
I always fancied myself as more of a Tzeentch adherent, but I’m down to start adding some skulls to the fucking Skull Throne right about now…
“Good Squad” is peak headline. They do look like a bunch of gooners.
and its not at all surprising to see charlie kuck defending this
are there references on what doge is and is not supposed to be?
i guess dailybeast and wired made a sane call at least. baby steps.
Some needs to put these fucken kids to bed.
Can’t wait the Mike Judge limited series on this.
Paywall.
Oh look, Elon groomed little boys who could have gone on to do something great.
Hitler youth?
Xitler youth
Pronounced ‘shitler’, right?
Yes. Xitter.
I expect that we will be fighting Xittergruupen divisions within the decade. These malicious boys will become evil men.
That’s pretty much what I expected
To be clear, this is a legit article so it stays, but no threats of Luigi here guys, lemmy can’t afford the attention.

It will be fine we will all get Jan 6th pardons.
And one who does is trying to cash in on his new job by charging people to read his Substack entry which boast, “Why DOGE: Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.”
LOL
Yeah maybe if he sums up all of his pre-tax total comp for each year he worked there, he might barely reach a seven figure number lmao
Chairman Musk’s Red Guards. His totally genius thinking spinned ground breaking innovative way to push authoritarian scheme using gullible youth.
The yes-
mandaddy militia.
