American Jew here- I've been terrified since Charlottesville. I'm especially terrified for my daughter, who is also on the LGBTQ spectrum. Please do everything you can to stop Trump.

As a lone voter in a red state, I'm trying, but the electoral college will fuck us again. Goddamn ~~secret Republican Billionaire ruling class servants~~ Democrats when it comes to trying to get rid of it, "yOu wOuLdN'T WaNt tO GeT RiD Of iT If iT WaS In yOuR FaVoR."

[–] FlyingSquid 11 points 1 year ago

At least you're trying! That's all you can do! I'm in Indiana, so I feel your pain.

[–] dangblingus 35 points 1 year ago

Crazy. It's like the guy who grew up with hyper wealthy parents, who benefited from the South African apartheid regime, went to spoiled rich boy schools, and has generally acted like a moronic 12 year old his entire life, might be a racist buffoon.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

It's worse. The original comment basically says Jews are responsible for non-white immigration in an attempt to replace white people, but now the Jews are learning that the non-white people don't like Jews because people are protesting for Palestinian rights.

What a fantasy world these people live in.

Surprise Surprise, post has been deleted from X. Anyone get a screenshot before dickhead deleted it?

Oh hey OP been a minute hope you're well.

Update: the link in the article did not work for me, however OP provides a working link for the post and I've seen more than a few screenshots of Musk's reply.

Oh shit! Thanks yo this'll be wonderful the next time I have to listen to a conservative ball gargle muskrat.

Life is good when I'm not working. When I'm working I'm constantly tempted to scream at my team leads about being inconsistent with their bullshit and causing unnecessary delays.

Well, Elon Musk is a piece of shit, so there's that.

[–] drmoose 18 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Super taboo to say but I think its fair to claim that all cults/religions discriminate against outsiders.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he was just thinking about lost $.

Musk in September threatened to sue the ADL for defamation, claiming that the organization’s reports have hurt advertising sales on X

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, exactly. He is the "white" he is referring to.

The whole thing is a strange statement. I've been critical of Israel's government, but "hatred against whites"? Huh?

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 1 year ago

What's interesting is that this is yet another example about how Jews are only white when it's convenient.

[–] Buffalox 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You are confusing the issue with an out of context comment.
While I personally agree with your observation, the ADL group exist specifically to fight antisemitism.
Your comment helps normalizing Elon Musk insanity. Musk is just butthurt, because he was called out for being an idiot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did "pushing hatred against" get softened to "discriminate against"? That's not at all what was said.

[–] surewhynotlem 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

" we don't hate those people, we just think they're not as good as we are"

Splitting the hair might thin there?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

" we don't hate those people, we just think they're not as good as we are"

That's where it starts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

No. And why now are we pretending that hating and pushing hate are the same thing? My grandfather hating Chinese people isn't the same thing as my grandfather's community organizing to push anti-Chinese propaganda.

Why can't we just address what was actually said?

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

There's some historical baggage (you know, the Holocaust and also generations of nasty antisemitism) associated with Judaism that makes it worth being a little more nuanced with criticism, though.

Are you surprised that he's becoming a nazi out of sheer braindead convenience, having been caught in the web spun by big oil companies who support people like Ben Shapiro and other ghouls in an effort to destabilize the world so they can go on poisoning it. Which in turn coddles these braindead narcicists because they were raised so intensely sheltered that they almost kill themselves when an audience boos at them?

Because I'm not really surprised. This was actually rather expected.
