And of course the fact remains that it's the absolute right of a corporation or person to tell the government to get the gently caress off your property by revoking your invitation. Not a single one of these idiots would have an issue with kicking Biden off the platform.

what the gently caress does this even mean? are they anti-pronoun now? aren't "pronoun rituals" exactly the thing trans activists are fighting against? right wingers cry so much about "wokeness" and then move in to adopt progressive framing and gently caress it up so bad they're just nonsensical.

Pronouns are meaningless and that's why me engaging with "the pronoun ritual" is...harmful?

Like , Jesus, I don't really have a foot in the LGBT sphere, and honestly I'm not the biggest fan of gender as a concept, and I spend most my day within a language that generally lacks it, but understanding that this person prefers these sounds to refer to them and respecting that is not some bastion of moral/societal decline It's having basic respect

I think I actually hate this Trout lipped Boer Dipshit more than Trump

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate someone more vehemently than Donald J Trump, but man this guy found a way.

Preface: This post is not to defend Trump in any way. He's a greasy snivelling bag of poo poo who peddles in Capital D Dangerous rhetoric and has an army of braindead incels at his back. He is a terrible human and I wish him the worst.

But I honestly find him less hateable than Elon.

Elon just has this incredible level of smug that's off the loving charts. He is a smug singularity. It's a different flavour of narcissism compared to Trump.

Trump is almost innocent in his toddler-like self centered view of the world; he genuinely cannot help see the world in a special lens where everything revolves around him and anyone who disagrees must be some sort of absolute lunatic who fails to see the truth right in front of their eyes. Reality bends for Trump as if it was nothing - there is no known plane of existence where Trump is not right and anyone who says otherwise is a weak, conniving monster who wants to hurt the world's special boy. He is smarter than his friends, more cunning than his enemies and anything that goes against this narrative is just people trying and failing to hurt him. Of course, this attitude allows him to attack and hurt anyone he feels deserving of his wrath with impunity and that just so happens to be anyone who hasn't pleased him in the last 10 minutes.

Elon is a slimy little snotball who so, so desperately NEEDS to be loved that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get the most positive feedback he possibly can, but unlike Trump he does not have the impenetrable shield of self deception to protect him. He is as thin-skinned as they come and he absolutely knows it. He spends every minute of the day having his self-image of "Real Tony Stark!!!" shattered, shat upon and pissed into a gutter while everyone stands around and laughs and it drives him loving crazy. Trump already lives in an ideal world where everyone loves him: Elon is surrounded by cardboard cutouts that keep blowing over as soon as anyone says anything mean to him. This makes the man petty. This makes him vindictive. Trump leaves when prettier keys are jangled but Elon hunches in a corner firing spitwads at anyone who ever said anything mean to him.

When he's not being petty he is pulling the loving saddest stunts and trying madly to convince himself that everyone is laughing with him instead of at him, but the biggest problem with being unfunny and not being able to take what you dish out is that you can never change that without introspection, humility and the ability to be self-deprecating. He will never have any of these traits. He will continue falling over onto his face again and again and as the negative reaction towards him grows the more and more spiteful he gets until he does something truly damaging to society at large, an arc he is very much following right now.

That's why I hate Elon more than Trump. The damage Trump did was a continent sized splash of toilet water after a ferocious poo poo, unpleasant for everyone involved and borne from a disgusting source. Elon is a loving poison that just spreads with every sycophant that enables him and every comment that bites him too hard, except he'll only ever focus that poison on the weak and vulnerable it's the only people he could possibly win a fight against. Fucker.

Seems to me that if you worry about "carrying around a bunch of extra metadata" then you should be ok with people displaying their pronouns. I'm a social idiot so I kinda think the pronoun ritual thing is actually a pretty nice courtesy actually, like a social interaction map.

This quote is like 100% accurate, just from the complete opposite stand point. The 'ritual' of pronouns is the established male/female binary that has been forced fed across society since the beginning, and it does harm many trans and nb people, especially kids.

Chappelle audience members explain why they booed Elon Musk

“It was more boos than I’d ever heard,” one attendee said.

Dec. 12, 2022, 4:23 PM CST

By Kat Tenbarge

Three audience members who were at comedian Dave Chappelle’s show where tech titan Elon Musk was booed off stage say Musk’s characterization of the night wasn’t accurate, and explained why they felt compelled to heckle the world’s richest man.

The Twitter and Tesla CEO joined Chappelle onstage Sunday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco, where Chris Rock was also headlining.

“It was more boos than I’d ever heard,” one attendee, Jason, said in a direct message. “Sustained jeering.”

Two audience members told NBC News they booed Musk because of the widespread firings and layoffs at Twitter. A third person said he booed Musk because of his political agenda. Ahead of the midterms, Musk urged followers to vote for Republicans. The three people shared screenshots of their tickets to the show with NBC News and spoke on the condition that only their first names be used to protect their privacy and avoid backlash from Musk’s fans.

Both cheers and boos can be heard in videos taken of the event, which were viewed millions of times on social media on Monday. Later on Twitter, Musk attributed the mixed reception to his recent embrace of conservative politics.

“Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter),” Musk wrote in a tweet.

The tech titan added “It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”

All three audience members who spoke to NBC News said Musk’s tweet was inaccurate and that the booing drowned out the cheering.

The incident and the explanations audience members gave NBC News represent a shifting tide for Musk, who has taken on a new level of notoriety since taking over Twitter while vocally supporting conservative causes.

Musk barely spoke onstage, but he did quote from an early 2000s Chappelle skit, saying “I’m rich, bitch!” Musk could also be heard saying “Times like this, I think we’re in a simulation. Like, how can this be real?”

Jason said he and his wife were initially left speechless after Musk came onstage, but he said he started booing after seeing Musk’s “smirk.” Jason referenced Musk letting go about half of Twitter’s employees starting in November when asked why he booed him.

Twitter is based in San Francisco, and Musk also reversed the company’s long-standing remote work policy, requiring employees to come into the office.

“It’s like [Chappelle] brought in the steel mill tycoon who fired the town’s workforce, then thought people in the same town wouldn’t be too upset about it,” Jason said in a direct message.

Another person at the show, Hailey, said she booed Musk in part because of the Twitter layoffs and Musk’s new company policies that “overwork and underpay people,” contributing to mass resignations.

On Nov. 16, Musk sent a company-wide email to remaining employees that asked them to commit to “working long hours at high intensity” or exit the company. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection opened an investigation into Twitter’s offices after photos taken inside the building appeared to show beds being set up, despite the building being zoned for commercial, not residential, space.

Hailey also called Musk an “imposter” who didn’t start Tesla, but “passes it off as his own work.” She wasn’t the only audience member who felt that way about Musk — another attendee, Jack, called him a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Musk has said one of his primary goals in running Twitter is fostering free speech, restoring the accounts of former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. Jack, who said he also booed Musk, said Musk’s idea of “free speech” is “meant to shift views further right.”

“He has agendas that are not good for democracy,” Jack said in a direct message. He “wasn’t really surprised” to hear people boo Musk.

“People in the Bay Area are pretty thoughtful and capable of nuance,” he wrote.

Within 48 hours of his Twitter takeover, Musk tweeted and deleted an unfounded, anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi’s attack. The day before his appearance at Chappelle’s show, Musk also called for Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president, to be prosecuted. He has repeatedly mocked preferred pronouns used by transgender people.

Chappelle has also faced backlash for his comments about transgender people. Jason, who said he used to be a fan of Chappelle’s before the comedian reached mainstream popularity, said Musk’s appearance showed Chappelle’s “lack of self-awareness.”

“He seems like he’s been rich too long now,” he wrote.
