yeah of course

once again you're not questioning putin, xi or their lapdogs (elmo & trump) but democratically elected establishments who don't welcome russian influence

raises the question why elmo never criticized russia or china. as a warrior of free speech he should be all over communist dictatorships, and he clearly doesn't mind either. "interesting", isn't it
My comment isn’t about Musk’s opinions specifically. I’d be against foreign entities getting involved in another countries politics anyway, so I won’t agree with Musk if he does that. The hypocrisy is real though, group A in a country might disagree with Musk, group B doesn’t, so you can’t go around cherrypicking billionaires who aren’t prosecuted or anything. It’s either all or nothing in that case.

seems like a good law either way. No corporation or wealthy individual should be able to give large amounts to buy elections

Top 10 most dangerous countries for children living in conflict from Save the Children Foundation.

1. Afghanistan
2. Congo
3. Syria
4. Yemen
5. Somalia
6. Mali
7.Nigeria
8.Cameroon
9. Sudan
10. Central African Republic

Those children matter as well don’t they? Or are you looking through a certain scope lens placed on you by the perception of the grand stage?

That's my point. Elon doesn't care about this at all, it's a political game for him.

Regardless, I hope this exposure brings real justice the people involved in these crimes and their cover ups. Some proper mob justice would be just fine.

In the meantime let's all hold our breath for a public investigation led by the Trump administration into the Epstein trafficking ring, like Elon has promised many times :numnum:

For someone who votes left (think I read that somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong) you share a lot of ideas with the right, and not just in this case.
I always voted left until last elections where I voted for a centre party. I’m not sure if the traditional left even exist anymore, been a long time since I heard a left politician talking about the welfare state. I’m probably somewhere in the middle nowadays. On economy, nature, no big gap between rich and poor im left, besides that I’m totally against wokeism, victimism and identity politics, all phenomena that hijacked the debate at left parties sadly enough.

But isn't that 2020 though? People talk today like there's people marching in the streets demanding to defund the police like George Floyd's murder was yesterday.

Yeah it's a weird take, especially after a US election where Kamala Harris spent most of her time courting to the moderate right than to anyone from woke-istan. On top of that the right deals predominantly in identity politics these days. Except it's marketed differently, so it doesn't count I guess.

No in the extend of such events lie diversity quotas
What quotas? ESG is dead. DEI is dead. Affirmative action is dead. Target stores in the US are afraid of pushing out any products with rainbows on them.

I get that some people find purpose in their persecution complex. But just how many more signals do the Spanish Inquisition knights need to start believing that maybe Islam isn't their problem?

Yea but netflix still sucks though
As I always say... never gave Netflix a penny, proudly never will. :cool:

identity politics are low hanging fruit that’s why both side play then so much. I’d say the right is as woke as the left. Whatever woke means these days. Back in the day it was homosexuals and Vicodin, now it’s trannies and white replacement.

Now we just need one of them to slip up and say something about the royal family and that should get them cancelled in the UK for good.

Interesting - ending the security relationship. I say why not. Regarding five eyes - there is absolutely NOT a sharing of everything like this guy suggests.
Shouldn’t they be more concerned with the gangs instead of Musk

How for goes freedom of speech when you have a big following like Musk according to you guys?
