Because of him car corporations actually had to consider consumer's safety over maximizing profits. They also couldn't outright lie to us and let us die.

Ralph Nader is a hero to the working class and consumers.


Yeah, but the government has prohibited vehicle crash safety over CAFE Standards.
What are you going to argue next?
That people shouldn't be able to possess firearms because of for profit companies making them?

Nope. It isn't the same. If firearm manufacturers were producing a product dangerous to its owners because of malfunction or corner cutting.. then you'd have an even comparison.

I support the right to bear arms. But I do not hold any allegiance to the corporations that create and profit off these weapons and ammunition.

Most major media corporations are right owned
Not that their party affiliation matters
A slow buildup to autocracy has been going on for decades now
Its just becoming more obvious as the working class demands better. Wealthy cant be sharing with peons now can they?

The leash handler changes per presidency
Musk and Vought are holding the leash right now

The sinister thing is yes they are right-owned. But the American public doesn't understand the difference between centre-right liberalism and leftism. The overton window has moved so far right for the past decades; the minor differences between the American political "right" and "left" are an absolute joke.

So now we have many working class Americans siding with their greatest enemy. The 0.1%.

This is on full display because you can have people who criticize the liberal billionaire class. (Rightfully so) Simultaneously defending the conservative billionaire class.

THEYRE ON THE SAME SIDE.. Musk is not your friend. Bezos is not your friend. Trump is not your friend. Peter Thiel is not your friend. They are leeches.

One thing that really upsets me is Musk in particular. A billionaire that can owe all his success and fortune to government subsidies. Our tax payer dollars.

The man is a fraud. He's the ultimate welfare queen; if you want to use conservative language.

Pointless diversion tactics. There are embarrassing fringe groups in just about every political movement. For every pink-haired tankie and gay furry there is your Woody Guthrie loving blue-collar worker, thrice over.

Reducing politics to aesthetics is such a petty liberal thing to do, by the way.

You don't see me reducing conservative movements to their fringe embarrassing and loud minorities. It's really a weak non-argument.
