Have you heard the things Elon says, or seen the people he signal boosts, or heard of the people and groups he associates with? It’s about as big of a leap as me getting out of bed in the morning, specifically back when I lived in a treehouse and slept on the floor.
No I haven’t. But I definitely know that no one is throwing visibly queer people in work camps in the USA.
I’ve since discovered that this is a red vs blue powered issue, which makes this discussion moot. Throwing rocks for any reason at the other color isn’t useful. I vote third party and stay out of red vs blue.
Well, if you had heard the things Elon says, seen the people he signal boosts, or heard of the people and groups he associates with, then you would understand why people are accusing him of spouting far right nonsense. It’s because the things he says are frequently far right nonsense, the people he signal boosts are frequently people who spout far right nonsense, and the people and groups he associates with are frequently significant sources of far right nonsense. And I’m not a Democrat in any sense other than thinking they’re not as bad for the world as Republicans are, but I can think of at least one good reason to throw rocks at “the other color,” that being when they’re propagating harmful far-right nonsense. I’d have thought this logic would be bulletproof, but I find myself cowed by the counterargument that “I have no idea what you’re talking about but you seem mean.”
Paying attention to the world around you is a great way to avoid making yourself look silly, if you’re interested in stopping it from happening again.
