EDITED: Change link to proper article instead of a stupid video, and changed associated text to match new URL.

Disgusting, in my opinion.

Some former Person (Man) of the Year were Hitler, Stalin (two times), Nixon (two times), Kissinger, Chomeini, Bezos, Putin, Trump (now the second time) and Musk. Yeah.

It's well known that the Time uses the Man of the Year to designates a person of particular concern under the guise of flattery.

Even beyond this, the person of the year isn't an accolade or appraisal; it's supposed to be the person who influenced the world by the largest margin in a given year. Trump's a rapist piece of shit but there's no doubting his name has probably been used more often than Smith in the last 12 months.

Time over here kissing the ring and hoping they don't get caught up in the purges.

It’s not that he isn’t a threat. It’s that those who cling to power don’t care. They’re used to working with fascists.

Definitely make a note of who’s working with him. Just like his first term, many of the Dems who raised the alarm about Trump’s plans also consistently voted to fund them. Judge people’s actions- not their words.

Shouldn't the NYSE be neutral? It felt like they were patting on the back each other.

Untaxed circus.

There's no neutrality under fascism. You glorify the great ruler or you are punished.
