The crux of the issue is that he has supporters. You can claim don’t give him money as a soln for those who don’t like him but there’s still plenty of morons who still worship at his alter.

People will always think celebs are only ever attacked bc of their status so long as they fit into their own in group.

Part of me wonders if it has anything to do with, and how much, bandwagon feminism and not true feminism. Ik that might sound incel-energy but I really don’t think it is. I’m not convinced that mental health or any of the other underlying systemic issues that men face were ever properly solved or supported. If you go with a political stance of fuck the wrong people into the dirt with no remorse because they’re assholes, you kinda just give them more ammo to breed more assholes because you’re the asshole to them.

I think if we all looked at ourselves first, then looked at how others feel, then look at how we behave when knowing both sides, we’re setting up a stronger and stronger form of empathy the more aware we are.

I really don’t think most people would be such pricks had they not grown up in that sort of environment and had proper support for trying to correct inefficient behaviors, communications and so on. Not yo mention other pressures people might face for a wide variety of things like sex preferences, race, class, living situation, home life, addiction, etc. We barely can behave with people of our own caliber and then you wanna throw minorities in the mix? No shot.

Everyone in this argument are fucking morons. How about ya'll stop killing each other and figure out how to stop climate change

I mean... legally? No, not really.

Extra-legally? He has a security team. They could easily arrange an "accident".

Now, sure, extra-judicial executions are generally bad, but I'm willing to make exceptions for billionaires and nazis. And wouldn't you know, this guy is both.

Only Elon can stop Elon from being a fascist.

Sure it is. Are other people able to control your thoughts?

My point is that he isn’t invulnerable. The seemingly mighty are brought low every day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, I agree with that. That can happen while he remains a fascist, though.

Nationalize his companies and ensure he has a glowy career future of mining lithium for the batteries (until he dies in agony).

Great now what am I supposed to do with this erection?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use mine as a prybar to help civil engineers open manholes for easy access to my cities infrastructure. I suppose there's more than one way to filet a feline, however.

Jack off thinking that it's somehow affecting the richest person on the planet. Spoiler warning, it ain't.
