Don't know why people are getting bothered by semantics here. Musk is a product of his environment, a privileged rich upbringing in peak apartheid South Africa. His grand parents were members of the Nazi party of Canada, according to his Dad I think. He is undoubtedly a racist, a mysogynist, a homophobe, and is on the extreme end of the spectrum of anti-trans, to the extent he shuns his own daughter. He did a literal sieg heil not once, but twice. You can call it trolling if you want, I think we ought to take it seriously. He is a racist fascist who left unopposed would imo, become full on Hitler Nazi. 21 minutes ago, spongebob toonpants said: His father is a white south African emerald mine owner that was run with slaves. He's turned twitter into a Nazi hell hole and unbanned all the nazi accounts. He calls his trans kid dead. He's got 11 kids because it's hid duty to breed because of great replacement theory And he does Nazi salutes How much evidence do we need Both good points and I agree, but just want to add that the reason people think he's being led astray here is because when he first came into the public consciousness he wasn't like this. He did for instance sign up for his daughter's surgery in transitioning. For someone as gaffe prone as he seems to be, he had never previously made the sort of insane right wing comments that we've been seeing from him in the past 4-5 years. So while yes, all of the above is true and is good evidence that he is exactly what we see him as - I don't think it had to be this way. I think his childlike emotional intelligence has been fully led astray by the same online right wing bullshit that perverts the minds of young men. The difference being that with his wealth, he can view himself as a hero in all of this - which he seems to find intoxicating. For all his wealth, he had no sense of purpose or belonging before this. Now, he is a champion of the common man (in his own head at least). He is a fascist. But he's not, for my money, a man with a plan. He's just being used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump wins that easily. Again, according to Bannon, the oligarchs don't even know how much Trump is in control of them, despite their billlions. I'm more interested in the fun to be had in the minions slugging it out. I mean, Zuckerberg looks like a total hostage. But surely, given he is jewish, he must be very uncomfortable with Musk's neo-Nazi shenanigans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 5021 Posted yesterday at 06:58 Share Posted yesterday at 06:58 I'm in support. This isn't something I'm going to put a technical limit on however, we have none of that and a small enough community to self manage with minor moderation. Bear in mind however that you'll fill your media allowances up quickly so you'll need to delete stuff as you go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those words that’s totally flipped its meaning* in a very short time. As said above, it used to mean being aware of social justice and supportive of those in need of it. Now? “ Would you like eggs or pineapple with your overdone GAMMON!!!” Fascinating stuff, language. * this is not strictly correct tbh, it’s meaning remains the same, but its usage is what’s done a 180° flip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
