"Samedi, la Serbie a écrit une nouvelle page de son histoire. Jamais un tel rassemblement n’avait eu lieu depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du président Aleksandar Vucic, il y a plus de dix ans. C’est même l’une des plus grandes manifestations de l’histoire moderne du pays."

Inside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’

Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.

Robert O. Paxton's 5 stages of fascism:

1. Intellectual exploration, where disillusionment with popular democracy manifests itself in discussions of lost national vigor

2. Rooting, where a fascist movement, aided by political deadlock and polarization, becomes a player on the national stage

3. Arrival to power, where conservatives seeking to control rising leftist opposition invite fascists to share power

4. Exercise of power, where the movement and its charismatic leader control the state in balance with state institutions such as the police and traditional elites such as the clergy and business magnates.

5. Radicalization or entropy, where the state either becomes increasingly radical, as did Nazi Germany, or slips into traditional authoritarian rule, as did Fascist Italy.

Reitred Federal Judge: "What has happened with Elon Musk, well, I have called it a coup. If it succeeds, it will have been a coup. In other words, if the definition of a “coup” is a small group of people who are not elected — and there was Musk — who are taking over the power of the government, yes, I would call it a coup. I mean, he — there are challenges around the country to his authority, to Musk’s authority — Musk, who is not confirmed by Congress, who was selected by means that no one exactly knows, who was given powers that no one knows about, who is getting access to information that only government officials who have been appropriately selected can get. And if he’s successful in that — there are challenges to that. If he is successful, yes, I would call that a coup."

"The regime won't merely use [government databases] for nefarious purposes. Musk's wrecking crew will be able to change what's inside those databases – and I believe it's a certainty that at some point they will.

Are you old enough to be collecting Social Security payments or Medicare? Musk's incels could decide that you don't deserve any of that, and delete you from the system. That's what people with access to "everything, including source code," can do. When people working in good faith are replaced by people who exemplify bad faith, expect the worst."
