Let's talk about Elon Musk

[Pete]

Fair chance he was trying to do something subtle that magas/nazis would catch as a shout to them but that regular people would be oblivious too, but he’s too physically incompetent to have pulled it off.w

He is 100% physically incompetent so that part of the puzzle is rough ridin' solved

[michigancat]

I don't know if you all watched the full clip but he also talked about the importance of "German values and culture" and the danger of losing that through "multiculturalism that dilutes everything". He stopped himself just short of keeping the bloodline clean.

The "we shouldn't feel guilty for sins of, oddly specifically, our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents" was also bad, but felt less specifically tied to Nazi ideology.

What sins do you suppose were committed by the grandparents and great-grandparents of the German people? Were they bad about leaving the water running when they brushed their teeth?

Point taken.

However, I wonder if you dudes have ever attributed any positives to the culture of Germany? I sure have.

Is it your opinion that positive cultural attributes are eternal and immutable?

There have been plenty of great German contributions to global culture but it isn't so great that they like need to keep their bloodlines clean or pretend like the Holocaust wasn't also a major part of their cultural contributions.

Who is saying that stuff?

[Pete]

I mean, I guess we just have to take on faith that while Walz and Elon’s gestures were absolutely identical that they mean 100% different things?

I think it's in bad faith to say the gestures are "absolutely identical". Like the walz and kamala videos both obscure their hands, for example. Kind of important if you're going to claim the two are identical to elon's stiff non hand waving salute. I've never seen a sig heil with a waving hand, have you?
I don't think we can go any farther if you actually believe what you're saying here and aren't just playing devil's advocate or doing a bit.

So it’s your opinion that Elon Musk has a the requisite level of hand eye coordination to pull that off with hundreds of people staring at him after having just gave an impassioned thank you for assistance and helping him reach his life goal? I can barely find the rough ridin' fairway if three of my buddies from high school are watching me tee off.

Go pull the quotes then

[star seed 7]

I think any god tier gamer would have decent hand-eye coordination

[Pete]

I think any god tier gamer would have decent hand-eye coordination

I for one believe that he cheated his balls off at that and I believe that you believe that too

[star seed 7]

Wait, Elon has misrepresented his accomplishments?!?

[Pete]

Wait, Elon has misrepresented his accomplishments?!?

I’d surely never say otherwise. There’s ample objective evidence of a very vast length of accomplishments as it is I don’t need to refer to Elon’s rough ridin' opinions about it.

[Pete]

You rough ridin' nerds don’t get it. He’s a piece of crap. They’re all pieces of crap.

Jesus Christ Rusty has said 1 million times that he thinks probably every football coach in America is a giant piece of crap. It’s the same goddamn phenomenon.

[star seed 7]

Well, it was probably in service of his life's goal of saving the species so let's just drop it.

[Pete]

Probably the CEO of every company you work for is mostly a piece of crap and if they’re not the president of the board of directors for the company you work for is probably a piece of crap and if they’re not then the majority of the shareholders controlling the votes for the company that you work for our pieces of crap.

[Pete]

This is the human experience on planet Earth.

[star seed 7]

What are the biggest dangers to the species right now? You know, besides non-white immigrants and trans people.

[Pete]

Inside of the ever present dilemma of having to work for or serve or being enslaved by a piece of crap is the opportunity to not be a piece of crap at an individual level and when given the opportunity to vote, to do so with your fully clear conscience. But what’s not super helpful is refusing to make the most out of a situation or to recognize and take advantage of silver linings that come from the pieces of crap.

[Pete]

What are the biggest dangers to the species right now? You know, besides non-white immigrants and trans people.

Everyone on this board will be watched, monitored and evaluated by an AI at one point in time in the future. The biggest danger to humanity lies in who gets to train and align that AI.

[Pete]

What are the biggest dangers to the species right now? You know, besides non-white immigrants and trans people.

And kind of a dick move bringing up immigrants and trans people when you know goddamn well that my views align with yours on those issues. I just completely reject all of this partisan bullshit.

[Pete]

I have never once in my life voted for anything other than a Democrat for president, and I voted in every election since Clinton’s first run at the presidency.

And I am pretty much rough ridin' done with the Democrats. I’m not joining the rough ridin' Republicans. I’m also not gonna join goddamn Rand Paul and his idiot kids.

I only bring it up because you said electing trump was elon's life goal or whatever.

Furthermore, I also don’t happen to believe that the extinction of the species is necessarily bad thing. I don’t really have too high an opinion of humans. We had a good run. I don’t really give a crap if humans go extinct someday.

Ok so you agree they are different now?

Claiming he unintentionally did a sieg heil because he is uncoordinated is a lot different than saying it was "absolutely identical" to kamala and walz's arm waving.

No, the support of the executive branch of the government for putting his rough ridin' rockets in the air or whatever the eff and going to Mars. It ain’t my goal brother, that’s his rough ridin' goal. He staked everything on it. I think he’d suck anybody’s dick who help him get there

No, I think it’s exactly identical to both the motive and gesture of Kamala and Walz.

So Elon doesn't actually hate immigrants and trans people, he just pretends to so he can get government contracts? That's your argument?

I don’t know if he does or doesn’t I sure haven’t seen him say anything that expressly addresses that you’re welcome to deduce what you want to deduce.

[star seed 7]

Before Elon started very publicly hating non-white people and trans people, did democrats ban him from getting government money?
