According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.

You know, the thing that always seemed really scary about the OG Nazis is that they were competent, intelligent, put-together people that were just fucking evil. Then you look at the US Nazis and the fucking bozo density is off the charts, but they seem to be succeeding anyway.

Three possibilities come to mind:

  • These bozos are going to find out, hard and soon.
  • The OG Nazis were actually bozos too.
  • Competence and intelligence doesn't actually matter in running a fascist regime

The OG Nazis were actually bozos too, they just had very good propaganda. So good that you're still seeing the effects today.

They were more competent bozos. They ran Germany the way that your stupid friend gets laid more often because they aren’t smart enough to be embarrassed by themselves and they know only one goal.

Whereas these guys run America like an ugly stupid person that insists that no, actually, they have already in fact convinced you to sleep with them despite what your words say and the goal is to confuse you into bed.

The best decision that nazis ever made was not to indiscriminately purge the military and bureaucracy. Purges certainly did happen but they were focused on the political class and very targeted elsewhere.

They kept the systems people depended on running well to not immediately create massive public backlash... they also got lucky as hell. The military and populace were deeply bitter after WW1 and they leveraged grand gestures to great effect while changing relatively little administratively. The fucks in the US are making flaccid grand gestures while tearing down systems people actually depend on.
