Like literally SAYING they are racist? That’s definitely not dog whistling.
You’ll understand me better when you spend time around teenagers as a grown man.
Four shit posts do not define a person, nor should they ever in the USA.
That so much focus is placed on this and not what this young man is helping to achieve is yet another indication of how much Trump’s opposition has lost the plot.
I sincerely hope they can get it together and function as a check on political power. So far, it has just been more of the same that is bringing about a political collapse unlike anything I’ve ever observed.
I neither hate nor like Musk. I distrust him because his motives are not clear. When he answers the question what’s in it for him, which probably won’t happen, then I’ll make a judgement.
I just don’t put my faith, hope and dreams in the hands of anyone in government. That apparently puts you at odds with the cultists on the forum who insist you choose a side, or more exactly, one of two sides. I didn’t help to create either of the two sides yet I have to pick one? Both political parties, all political ideologies for that matter, existed before I was born, yet I am obligated to be beholden to one? To identify with one?
You’re fucking-A right I chose a side.
You are dumb. Do you think before you post?
The slave who puts on his chains, is still a slave.
Whatever you say, castoli.
I have 5 boys. 25, 22, 14, 14, 12. I’ve spent a lot of time around teenage boys. I would never defend them being racist little shits.
I WAS a teenage boy. I grew up in a tiny little town in West Texas. We would fight at recess-- Mexicans against whites-- up through junior high. The one black kid had to be on the Mexican side. My mom’s dad was in the klan in Arkansas.
.
I’ve seen and heard a lot of racist shit in my life. I know teenage boys, and i know racists.
This guy we are discussing was 24 or 25. He wasn’t a kid when he posted it. I am smart enough to believe people when they show you who they are. Presumably this racist piece of shit has gone to college and been exposed to all kinds of races and cultures. He’s been in the workforce. He isn’t some 16 year old working at McDonald’s who just didn’t know any better.
Edit: i voted for Trump 3 times and don’t regret it at all. I’m all for what he’s doing. I sure as shit don’t think this one racist piece of shit is uniquely qualified to get the job done.
See. You can’t think without that filter. Everything you post always mentions Lewiston, Trump, socialists, etc. You can’t look at people without judging them using that filter. It’s sad.
Hence why I called him dumb. He thinks no one here has kids and/or has worked with kids. His Trump infatuation has made him lose IQ points.
Me neither. I’m way to cynical.
I’m ambivalent about Musk. But I also have a clear disdain for cancel culture and leftist REeeeee!fests.
This is the best characterization of the political moment I’ve seen thus far.
I’m all for what is getting done. I don’t justify hiring racists to do it. There are a shit ton of people who could do the job.
Musk doesn’t. His twitter bullying is proof. Firing people en masse is also a form of cancel culture.
Thats a whole can of worms of its own.
I’ll take his disclosure of the role our government played in controlling social media and political narratives as an act of good will though.
Leftists should know better than to go tit for tat with an autistic billionaire.
I don’t see a problem with questioning those in charge when it comes to their hiring of those with questionable character. How many conservatives blew a gasket when they saw some LGBTQ person working for the Biden administration?
He has his weak spots if they are willing to trigger them. And he isn’t autistic; he’s a low T nerd.
Not in business.
Twitter was, by any socialist conception of the term, literally fascist. You had a powerful organization working in conjunction with the ruling political party to manipulate people with fact checks, which you have defended in the past, suppressing the political opposition through algorithms and outright censorship, and promoting everything to advance the cause of America’s grifters.
X.com seems to be chugging along fine with Musk’s workforce slashing.
Your whole sad and pathetic worldview is coming to an end.
Says the person who doesn’t lift but has trolled a lifting site for over a decade to call lifters dumb.
Plenty. The lack of perspective and proportion on both sides doesn’t escape me.
I’d say the US as a whole really needs to calm the fuck down.
It’s not business, dummy.
I don’t care. I never used it, social media is gay.
Which is?
You’re a lifter? You look like an old fat fuck.
But the angry incel from Maine takes offense when I don’t want to get invested in one of these two pathetic sides.
