@marick@mstdn.social @GaryAsh@iosdev.space @GeePawHill@mastodon.social The destruction was the goal. They targeted orgs that Musk considered obstacles and looted as much as they could. Even after Musk was driven out, his stooges remained in place.

@maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza @marick@mstdn.social @GaryAsh@iosdev.space @GeePawHill@mastodon.social Yes, if there had been a structural goal rather than a destructional goal, the world's Dumbest Man per Dollar wouldn't have been put in charge and then disowned as not a government official once he'd fucked it up.

@maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza @GaryAsh@iosdev.space @GeePawHill@mastodon.social I may be naive, but I look at DOGE like at this newest Iran war: an addled leader initiates action with a vague goal of “thump the bad guys,” hired a bunch of underlings who “worked toward the Fuhrer”¹ with shambolic results. The classical fascists projected efficiency and focus, but didn’t have it. I’m skeptical the new fascists are different. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Kershaw#%22Working_Towards_the_F%C3%BChrer%22_concept
