Maybe it's because I can't fathom being so absolutely desperate for people's attention. I just can't empathize with that line of reasoning. I dunno.

Well see they aren’t pedophiles because they want to conceive as many children as possible with children because that is just biology. Also the term isn’t pedos, it’s ephebos

"Minor Attracted Person" has been the go-to for a while for the creeps trying to pretend raping children is a legitimate sexual orientation.

I sometimes forget that there are people who openly advocate for sex with children. More things remind me of that fact more and more everyday. ☹️

Last night at a company dinner the topic of Musk came up. Most people around the table were normies and calling him a moron. However one guy was all like "buying twitter was genius as it means Musk can forever off set the losses.and never pay tax ever again."

It seems that even normies outside of the us are starting to realize what Musk is, but there are still some holdouts.

On the other hand, a screenshot is useful as evidence in case the dipshit making the tweet deletes it or gets their account suspended for being a dipshit.

I'm pretty certain the only usage this ever sees is chuds pretending to be LGBTQA+ so other chuds can quote them as why all non hetero peeps should be megakilled

MAP is a real term that gets used sometimes, it ostensibly started as a term to be used for people who had those thoughts but were sincerely trying to work through them with psychologists. of course it almost immediately got co-opted by 1) creeps who were very much not horrified by those urges and 2) guys insincerely trying to tie it to the LGBT movement.

I don't think that Musk has any real serious values in the political sphere. What I mean by this is that while he may be a hateful bigot, I don't think he feels that strongly about anything in the moral sphere. I don't think he's trying to find friends or look cool for cool's sake. I think that he figures that right wingers, particularly authoritarian ones, are going to be in control next election cycle and beyond. I suspect that he believes that the downside to not currying favor with chuds now and in the future is much greater than the punishment from the left or democrats. Let's be honest, we on the left have basically no power to cancel him but an authoritarian government formed by christian nationalists would. They could do more than cancel him.



Wait, so you're saying he's doing this to appease a theoretical future right wing regime, so he's not tortured by it?

This is a guy which, on his 50s, frequently needs his mom to come out and defend him publicly for the incredible stupid choices he keeps making.

Possibility 1: frequently bullied as a kid, which affected his views on life for better or worse
Possibility 2: spent whole life with a silver spoon in his month, never having to deal with any repercussions for his actions, and thus became a massive narcissist

I don't think we are seeing the first one of those scenarios.

This is what I don't get. Like dude it's your company you want to turn it into Trans Stormfront then accept no one wants to advertise there, but holy poo poo don't act like your Anime Vengeance Quest because Grimes is a slightly better human being than you is some sort of "Both sides are wrong, I am so enlightened, why don't you support my place of free speech where I silence all opposition and boost genocides"

Like just gently caress you dude, you are not an enlightened centrist. You're just a scorned loving loser bigot with billions to burn and no viable business model.
