most real-life villain thinks they are doing good. JK Rowling rhetoric is all about "protecting women". She probably is certain she is some sort of martyr trying to save the world
How to change the size of shortcut image in new tab page without css
since last update, my image of shortcut, in new tab page, are super tiny.
I though it was to allow to add more row or something, but no. Just tiny images.
Can I change the size of the image without css? Or should I wear glass
so 3 different agenda, with the same result. Probably it is as coincidental as that
yeah may be it's just rich people having a louder voice . But trans existed for a long time, and we never heard so much vitriol against them until a few decade back
she seems pretty vocal about it : https://theweek.com/feature/1020838/jk-rowlings-transphobia-controversy-a-complete-timeline
I get it. But that smokescreen is achieved with anti-immigrant rhetoric. Throwing Trans in , seems so random
You might be right: it's a rebranding of anti-gay sentiment.
Why the ultrarich come after trans people ?
elon musk, mark zuckerberg, J.K rowling! Are the names that come to mind.
3 from different background: a African immigrant benefiting from government spending, an American smart young engineer, and a female English successful writer.
They are no politicians, and cant be accuse of trying to gather some vote. Multi-billions amongst them.
I get they lean to the right to protect their cash, with less tax and regulation. I get they are racist because they fear some poor people will take their cash.
But why the hatred for trans people ? It's 1% of the population, they cant do anything, dont threaten anyone. There is no rational or psychological reason
*EDIT: I read all the comments. A lot of interesting explanation: smokescreen/scapegoat, maintaining the male/female power structure, new face of anti-gay , projection / self-hatred , just louder voice ...
I realize, may be, I didn't post a good question. May be it is less about the ultra-rich but more about why that rhetoric work on the general population (else it would not have taken hold as it does). For that I have a 2 cent theory: The raise of the cult of Nature we have since the global warming. The idea, that everything natural is better. The ugly version is only natural male and female are worthy*
Probably became the COF in space X

Elon Musk is running DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, for President Donald Trump, in an effort to slash government spending and staff.

The reality of dating apps
I have been working inside a dating app for a few months and there are a lot of interesting things. This article is going to be without any structure as there are many things to say. I will mostly ignore homosexual interactions. Not because they don't exist, just because it …
In French we have "a burned cat fear cold water" (chat échaudé craint l'eau froide)
Trump is taking a page from Dune... and Machiavel
Trump leaving so much control over his presidency to Musk, seems pretty weird coming from such an egomaniac who want to "purge the swamp". It is all a plan to get ride of the richest man on earth and get the love from the Americans people he so desire.
In Dune, The baron Harkonnen cant control Arrakis because of the rebellious Fremen. He devise a simple plan:
-
He put the Beast, Rabban, his dumb nephew on head of Arrakis with only one order: "Squeeze them of all the spice"
-
He know that the population will soon hate Rabban for his cruelty.
-
Then he will pretend to hear the population, remove Rabban and send his beloved nephew Feyd Rautha.
-
Feyd will undo the most cruel laws from Rabban, and be seen as a savior.
This tale is right out of Machiavel. In his book "the Prince"'( 1532), the Italian advice the prince do to exactly that to gain control over a rebellious country.
Trump gave Musk the power to "squeeze the USA". Soon enough, Musk will be hated for his drastic measures (Since a nazi salute is not enough)
Then Trump will remove him, bring back some fund, and grant, and be seen as the USA savior.
