People don't need more evidence to conclude he's a white supremacist. Evidence isn't the issue here. The problem is convincing people that white supremacy is a threat rather than something they can elide and quietly benefit from without actually saying they like it.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

This is why I think it's useless to find common ground with right-wing dudes, even if they say some stuff you might agree with (ie, Rand Paul). When the chips are down, all they really believe is that they're the in-group and you're the out-group.

you see I think it's good when a social media company removes posts telling you to drink bleach to cure covid and bad when it removes posts warning the community about violent masked thugs

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I now realize that for my entire adult life, I've had a very narrow conception of what "supporting and defending the Constitution" means. Standing on business when armed agents of the State are knocking on your door is way more important, by a country mile, than anything I did overseas

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Everything Peter Thiel does and says makes sense if you view right-wing libertarianism as mostly a marketing ploy invented by fascist-sympathizing (or in Fred Koch's case, fascist collaborating) businessmen and intellectuals.

I want the U.S government to confiscate Peter Thiel's wealth and redistribute it to the poor and working class.

It doesn't matter that the homicides have been staggeringly low this year. A core tenant of modern conservativism is that people who live in cities are untermensch who are undeserving of constitutional protection.

My politics is that I want Peter Thiel to have less wealth and power. I want to take his money ans give it to the poor. There is no reason we should have a nazi billionaire who uses his piles of money to build a slave state.

Conservativism offers nothing but suffering and loss to everyone but society's villains.

One of the great benefits of confiscating businesses and wealth from our corporate overlords is that it lessens their ability to buy the government and install a senile pedophile as our dictator.

I truly love Rand Paul's positions. Taking a brave and principled stand against the guy he helped pustch the government and then repeatedly campaigned for. Such a noble man.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I miss the old days when the Kennedys killed people with planes and cars instead of with political campaigns directed at parents who can't accept that their kid might be different.

Akin to Phil Jackson. Undeniable competence, but underestimated how much of his success was contingent on having a top 5 player in the sport on the roster.

The key divide in the Democratic Party during Trump II is between people who want to turn the clock back to 2014 and people who recognize a clean break with the past when they see one. "Let's get back to the way things were" isn't a viable vision for the future and some people have no other.

I always feel conflicted about dunking on dead right-wing ghouls (Bob Owens, Charlie Kirk, Andrew Breitbart). They spent their whole lives angling for power and are forgotten the month after they die.
