          Most drug users are people self medicating to cope with serious trauma. Most autistic people are decent human beings.

          Elon Musk is a shit human being and a Nazi. It’s not about his autism or drug use. When I get fucked up - I don’t turn into a fucking Nazi.

    Reminds me of that show Billions where the dude seemed on the verge of losing it all, but it was actually a ploy to short some stock or some shit like that. Was a great show with a complete asshole of a protagonist.

      No. If you use a slur about disabled people to insult anyone, you’re just an asshole. No matter what a disgusting piece of shit anyone is, using that word to insult is just awful.

        Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was about people like you.

          Are you serious? Like, someone says “please don’t use shitty slurs that discriminating disabled people” and your instinctive reaction is “THEY SILENCE ME AND CRIMINALIZE KNOWLEDGE”. That’s just pathetic. You can be an asshole, but get over being called one then.

          And unrelated, but Fahrenheit is an awful book lol. Good dystopias are 1984, Brave New World or We. Fahrenheit 451 is just the author mad about television and saying that it’s so stupid and will ruin everyone’s brain. While the thought itself of knowledge being forbidden can be interesting and is an element in other dystopias, Fahrenheit is mainly based on the pure belief that books are a better medium than television, which is beyond ridiculous.

            *Rep Ro Khanna is trying to kiss his Nazi ass

            The only other Dem mentioned in the article that you can try pinning that statement on simply said that he’s “a believer in redemption”, but that’s it really.

              Do you believe in the redemption of elon musk?

              Because I’m seeing the party that spent a whole assed year ignoring the Leahy law in order to sell weapons for genocide looking at a nazi and being like “you know, he’s not that bad.”

                I believe that people have the capability of committing wrong-doings, even atrocities, only to come around later and realize that they were in the wrong and can attempt to make up for it in life.

                Do I believe that Elon Musk has redeemed himself? No. I do believe he has the capability to do so though, eventually. Do I believe that he should receive punishment for his wrongdoings? Yes. Same for Trump.

                In regards to the statement about Dems siding with Nazis, don’t use labels to throw everyone under the same blanket and judge them all equally harshly. Everyone is an individual, and their actions should be judged as such. If there’s a Democrat that acted in such a way, by all means call them out and we’ll all hate on them together.

                  I will judge anyone who sides with nazis harshly. Minimizing it like you’re doing just gives others cover to also side with nazis.

            No one in your linked article is a leader in the party - just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.

              I didn’t say they were. They seem to be choosing a leader who is in line with centrist values. Which is to say, he has money and is a reprehensible piece of shit.

              • just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys

              Conjecture doesn’t typically involve direct quotes from sitting legislators.

              and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.

              You are fine with your party kissing nazi ass. Just not anyone pointing it out. I’d tell you to demand better, but it’s clear that you think you’re getting it already.

                Just admit it - no leaders or even major legislators in the Dem party is kissing Nazi ass. The article has non specific quotes from guys I’ve never heard of. Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.

                  I never made that assertion. Elon is the leader the democrats in the article (and those in this thread minimizing this) have chosen.

                  Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.

                  Everyone to the left of your boy elon is “right wing” to you.

    Even if he loses hundreds of billions of dollars he’s still richer than like 99% of individual people worldwide will ever be.

      He won’t though because although what he did is immoral it wasn’t illegal. After all the president of the United States authorised these actions they must be legal.

      Financially he’s going to suffer but there’s nothing in law that can be done to him.

          Anon’s use of slurs is disgusting and absolutely should be condemned. But the underlying observation seems to track with my LinkedIn feed; there’s a lot of people in tech on the subcontinent whose dream ticket is to get their company acquired by a deca-billionaire and think that simping online is a good way to make it happen.

        It’s actually a name. Pajeet is a genuine Hindu name. It’s a pejorative, in the same way “Paddy” is both an Irish name and used as a slur for Irish people.

                From the wiki:

                The implication makes fun of a typical Indian male’s name.

                Doesn’t say it’s not a real name though. Neither does the screen cap of the tweet.

                  An invented term for a South Asian person.

                  And from CubitOom’s link:

                  An invented Indian-sounding given name

                  And from the sources cited on Wikipedia:

                  a derogatory made-up Indian name originating on 4chan in 2015

                  First seen on 4Chan, The term “pajeet” is an ethnic slur, coined as a derisive imitation of Indian names

            Yes, but the term “pajeet” isn’t linked to that afaik, other than that people who support that theory are racists and racists use the term “pajeet”.
