Musk taking “based” stances on Ukraine is just in pattern with Republicans being “based” by now officially running their campaigns on pulling aid to Ukraine. It’s fascists and the ruling class adopting anti-imperialist rhetoric in order to alienate progressives from anti-imperialist ideas. Because liberals are too fucking dumb to think deeper about the issue and will just think “Republicans support this so it must be evil.”

It’s literally the extreme right superficially co-opting leftism, like they do over and over again.
