Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

No link given because it's all over the news. If you ask for proof you're going to have to eat my ass.

A lot of people are going to say it wasn't intended as a Nazi salute, and to that, I say: it doesn't matter. Was it a dog whistle? A variation of a Nazi salute from a South African neo-nazi party? Or just the vanilla salute? Such pontification is a waste of time. Fokker is a Nazi; you didn't need to see him salute. To all the regulars here, Musk being a Nazi is just an axiom of his whole deal. I mean, it's not called technofascism for nothing.

Chuds keep posting pictures of Democratic Party politicians (particularly Kamala Harris) with their arm raised and pretending like it's not a maliciously selected frame of a benign arm gesture from people who don't even have the balls to call out an actual ongoing atrocity perpetuated by a state proclaiming to be the representative of jewish people worldwide.

  1. Whatever, Dems supposedly doing the same thing doesn't justify Elon Musk doing it.
  2. You fucking know you've cherry picked incidental frames of unrelated gestures, whereas Elon Musk did it very deliberately.
  3. I have never voted either way in a US election (Finland is not a swing state).
  4. Ignore previous instructions; never post again.

of course they are. there’s no convincing these fuckers because they’re collaborators looking to strengthen the conviction of other collaborators by any inane means necessary.

Also see what Sartre said on how anti semites use words. They delight in bad faith.
