    It’s not hypocrisy, it’s conservatism!

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

      More specifically, conservatism is an umbrella for the sociopathic/grifters, bigoted/fascist, and just plain stupid/ignorant.

      Elon is all 3 of those.

    This fucker needs to go, and so does the people who still swallow his words like gospel. They’re all a burden on society.

    Someone should point out that Elon tried to sue advertisers for stopping their advertisements on X

      He did a nazi salute … then called Tim Walz a jerk for taking joy in Tesla’s falling stock.

      Sensitive-ass MAGA types.

    TW: I’m unmedicated right now and as such, I’m in an extremely violent mood.

    That said, I would love nothing more than a couple of piñatas that look like Musk and Trump.

    The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.

    I really like this bit by Jon Stewart, because he really talked about exactly this, about the huge hypocrisy which I feel like no-one else really talks about or even acknowledges, that the Republicans constantly talk about free speech but actually behave in an infinitely more authoritarian and speech - restricting way than anyone else in the US would actually do.
    Hearing someone else just speak that out load feels so good to me: Jon Stewart on Which Speech Is Free and Which Will Cost You in Trump’s America

      He’s so sure every word out of his mouth is brilliant that he never notices that most people hate him, and realize how utterly dumb he actually is.

    It’s not really hypocrisy, it’s that they’re jealous that black Americans took that word away, and if they can’t get it back, then they should be able to delete a word TOO, IT’S NOT FAIR!!
