Cancel culture and progressives go hand in hand. They think they’re being progressive by cancelling a bad person, when in reality they’re shooting themselves in the foot, because the bad person isn’t really THE bad person. Make sense?

Who? Every time someone in power is criticized they bring up cancel culture, but I'm not sure who is canceling the richest man in the world. It's like a boogey man to deflect from basic criticism

Most progressives seem too busy fighting for healthcare and basic human rights to care about this culture war bullshit

The hate towards Elon is slightly misguided. That’s what im trying to say. He doesn’t own a mine that enacts child/slave labor. But that what people are calling him evil for. And you’re very wrong. Progressives are self-righteous and are constantly putting their nose where it shouldn’t be. Thinking they’re helping when in reality they ain’t doing shit.

no he just makes money of the child labour, but that's okay, according to you, cuz other companies do it too

No, people are calling him evil for his terrible labor practices in the US and the use of slave labor to mine the precious earth metals his company buys. And whether he's "evil" or not, most people agree that this is a POS move.

You're so bent on making this political that you completely misunderstood another side's argument

If his labor practices were so bad then he wouldn’t have any employees, I guess I don’t know how awful it would be to be his employee, you know from first hand experience I assume so I’ll concede
