That’s a pretty bold allegation. Any proof or are you just slippery sloping the shit out of a blue check mark?
How about the history of the state of Florida over the last five years
We aren’t talking about Florida. This is about X.
Or who did you mean by “they”
this was answered already, but since you don’t seem to get it the first 5 times, “they” refers to far right actors, such as Musk.
I was genuinely confused but now I’ve realized that I stumbled into some polarized red vs blue nonsense that I have no intention of continuing. I don’t make it a habit to group reds and blues together and collectively pin everything on the group.
Politics is a sham and arguing red vs blue is actually the problem.
Oh great, a radical centrist. Someone who thinks good is just as bad as evil, and lies are just as good as facts.
Read about Project 2025. The far is right is announcing its intentions to anyone who will listen.
Wait, we jumped from X removing a blue check mark to the far right spouting nonsense? That’s a huge leap
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.
Case in point ^
it’s not really a huge leap. Musk is literally part of the group, trying to pull it off.
Elon Musk is trying to send visibly queer people to concentration camps? Is there proof of this or is this just some red vs blue nonsense?
one could take what Elon did “for” the queer people on Twitter, or one could take his comments about his child, or one could take the things his trans child said about him.
once again, this shit doesn’t start with the concentration camps, that is where it ends.
and the dehumanizing, delegitimizing, vilifying, and smearing is the point we are at now.
As I told someone else already, it didn’t start with concentrations camps, nor genocides, it started with efforts to delegitimize, to communally ostracize. and the man who organized it all? he didn’t hate the Jews, the Sinti, the Roma, the Socialists, the “degenerates”, etc… no Eichmann just didn’t care, one of the greatest systematic destruction of human lives was organized by someone who just didn’t care. to him, it was just a question of “this is what the current (brown) side wants”
