Did you see what DOGE did to the government? In particular to USAID? Estimates are that this has already killed hundreds of thousands of people who relied on that aid.

The issue isn't just Musk's politics. It's that his actions have been evil, the kind of negative impact that major wars have.

We're talking something like 1 million dead people per year with a quarter of those being children. For a level of assistance that cost the US nothing (0.43% of federal spending). This is an evil that in a few years puts you on the list of biggest mass murderers in history.

I know this was “the line” upfront… but USAID had nothing to do with aid… it was a soft power factory… it was the “we’re helping” face of the CIA.

It was not the "helping face of the CIA" it's a means for the United States to maintain first world power order in a quid pro quo scheme.

It's hardly groundbreaking or evil considering every single country with large wealth plays this game (eg; china, india europe ect), I give you lots of money and help your people and in exchange you do/don't do xyz. if you do xyz then we take away the money

If you haven't donated every cent you have to poor foreigners, you have contributed to their deaths. How can you live with yourself?
