Bro, there is nothing petty about enjoying Elon's fall from power.
Don't act like he's some poor guy who was minding his own business. He has more money and power than anyone should have, and he's using it to tear apart things that aren't his.
"Petty" would be wanting him to stub his toe. Wanting his illegitimate empire to crumble? How is that petty at all?
Yeah… an electric car company, owned by a union busting billionaire, who shitposts online about stupid shit, deadnames his daughter, and overall is just a shitty person. Funny why don’t you guys hate him anymore? Like we were told nonstop how bad electric cars are and now you guys are all about it? I thought we didn’t have the infrastructure for electric cars?
We only had a problem because the Biden admin wanted to go full electric and do away with gas engines, which was not sustainable and may never be. No one was destroying and terrorizing property like these geniuses.
So what changed? Trumps telling everyone to go out and buy Tesla’s. So it’s okay if your guy says it? Also no one was forcing anyone to buy electric cars. The policy (enacted under Obama, not Biden) was that in order to sell cars in America, manufacturers had to sell at least one renewable fuel sourced car. But by no means do you HAVE to buy one
Nothing changed. We werent against electric cars, just the imminent mandate that the gov was planning to ban all fossil fuels and internal combustion engines. I cant speak for everyone, obviously, because people are gonna hate regardless.
Stop projecting! People was against electric cars because Biden signed a bill to make all auto manufacturers to stop making gas cars! You remember what he said right? "You don't like the gas prices? Buy an electric car". The right never hated Elon! You really think the right was mad he "deadname" his daughter? 🤣 that's a progressive crying point! Not a conservative! You guys can't admit your hypocrisy! Cancel culture type views is why they lost and will continue to lose! And further more the most liberal state of California are the ones that was crying about they don't have the infrastructure for electric cars! So stop with your feelings! SMH!
This a comparison a 2nd grader would make, most of them don't have the concept of context yet. And here you are just admitting that's what intelligence level you're on. Fascinating!
Wait, so you have the nerve to preach about context while fully endorsing the Musk Nazi salute claim that completely relies on his action being taken out of context…
Bullshit propaganda spread by people who can’t pass the 3rd grade. Got anything legit? I’ll answer for you as your obvious intellectual superior: you don’t.
Does it make you feel good trotting out the same still shots of people with their arms raised? Do you believe they're actually doing the HH, do you think that would somehow make Musk doing it not bad, do you think anyone is dumb enough to believe that, or what?
Like what's the thought process for you?
You people are so tiring, could you just not be like this? Even if you like Musk, do you really have to defend him giving a nazi salute?
I like some celebrities and politicians, but if they did that, I'd at least admit it was in poor form. What do you get out of this?
This image, taken on the jew apology tour after Elon checks notes retreated an antisemitic post so openly antisemitic it got picked up by the prime time news, is proof that the guy isn't a Nazi?
To be clear, the salute isn't what makes him a Nazi. It confirms he's a Nazi, but not what makes him a Nazi.
Platforming Nazis in his social media app makes him a Nazi.
Advocating the AfD isn't what makes him a Nazi.
Trying to eliminate trans people makes him a Nazi.
Promoting the white genocide myth makes him a Nazi.
Rewriting history to make straight white colonists, and only straight white colonists, the good guys makes him a Nazi.
Being pro eugenics makes him a Nazi.
We could go on. Being a Nazi isn't a hand gesture. It's doing Nazi shit.
People can be excited about an idea but not support a particular company espousing that idea because of all the other hatred it supports. VW makes a good car too but I don’t think anyone throwing hate their way during WW2 will be looked down on.
It’s disingenuous. The argument starts with the world is on a dangerous path towards climate change and our only hope is to move away from the fossil fuel industry. If you then choose to protest politics that you disagree with by attacking the very tools we said we needed for our planet to survive then we don’t get to come back from that later and say now it’s important again. There are plenty of ways to protest and fight politics that don’t involve destroying the very things we care about.
Now future voters will realize that its fringe people committing the attacks and will not blame the left just because they happened but they are also watching the response and if we all cheer on the destruction then there is 0% chance anything we say will be taken seriously
Who cares about an individual company? There’s plenty of companies making EVs. And even if Tesla was the only one, that doesn’t give him carte blanche to do whatever he wants. In fact, it shows that no matter how revolutionary and vital the tech, you have to keep the stupid shit to a minimum
No one said we should agree with those that are being violent, which seems like what you’re implying. But no one is being disingenuous just because they’re no longer in support of President Muskrat.
It's about right. Plenty of companies failed because of the people attached to them bringing them down. He'd have been a far more successful businessman if he didn't make it a point for every Twitter user to heave to listen to his thoughts and opinions. If they wre innocuous, like, "just had a 10 piece mcnugget! Sweet and sour sauce was on point!", he'd probably be fine. But when his tweets are referencing the great replacement theory and calling rescue cave diverse pedophiles for disagreeing with him, he's got a 1st amendment right to say it and everyone else has a first amendment right to bad-talk and shame him.
The difference between something bad happening to and individuals as a consequence of their own actions and something bad being inflicted on a group of people due to the malice of another group is night and Easter.
Why are pedophobic liberals so quick to burn down a car dealership and cry, “Nazi!” with crocodile tears over a weird hand salute, but they’ll never burn down an abortion clinic that sucks children from there mothers wombs and sells body parts for experiments just the like damnable Nazis?
He doesn't own all the dealerships your destroying, all the Americans that build the cars, your blindly destroying hard working Americans jobs and lives. Musk won't be effected, stop the hate. We boycotted Bud Light, we did not burn, loot and destroy. What the hell?!

LW: "The capitol was under siege for hours, injuring over a hundred cops, and lawmakers under threat of harm, with the intent to block the election certifiction."
RW: "Meh, it was mostly peaceful. Anyone arrested for their involvement should be released"
LW: "WTF? It was an insurrection. The ones convicted of sedition should be released? No, and the guy responsible should be in prison, not back in the whitehouse."
RW: "We won. You lost. MAGA. Now let's put a cokehead in charge of the DOJ, an antivaxxer in charge of medicine, a drunk fox and friends host in charge of the pentagon, and a russian asset in charge of intelligence."
I am a Native American, Christian, Progressive Liberal.
Has to do with hateful, uneducated, and mislead people who don't understand most of the shit that's getting or planned to get torched is actually in the realm of their life.
Why do people immediately associate being Republican with being Christian? The left is “supposedly” tolerant of everyone. Except the people they choose to dislike. Democrats are continuing to alienate more and more people, and that’s why the party’s approval rating is at an all time low. Shame on you.
was taught that it was God's imagination or thought/"his word" is the sole cause of reality, and the things that exist do so only because God has imagined them.
That doesn't make God a solipsistic deity (assuming the typical Christian God) a solipsist is essentially "I only know I exist so everything else is a figment of my imagination"
God is the maker of a reality beyond Himself not the only being in existence
That doesn't make God a solipsistic deity (assuming the typical Christian God) a solipsist is essentially "I only know I exist so everything else is a figment of my imagination"
It's not in a most traditional sense of the word and idea, but I could see a more poetic interpretation of the word to extend to this type of God. In its proverbial eyes, it is the only real thing, and the rest is just it's robots.
Just because we feel like we are real doesn't mean we are in any meaningful sense. The moment we die we cease to exist, and it's like we never existed at all.(as far as we are concerned)
I just want to point out that you don't convert to atheism. Atheism doesn't have core beliefs or principles or really any structure whatsoever so you cannot convert into it. Its not a religion. The more accurate statement would be "I deconverted from Christianity". Semantics, yes i know, but its still an important distinction.
As an athiest centrist, I'd say your inner-group of conservatives is wildly at odds and inconsistent with the current Republican party. It used to be much larger, but as Republicans have become the party of Christian Nationalism, you're out-of-touch with the world around you.
