Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Calling the AfD centrist is just beyond delusional.

It's not delusional if he doesn't believe that. It's just a fucking lie because he's a Nazi trying to defend other Nazis.

I could 100% believe that he thinks they are centrist, because they share similar viewpoints and he believes himself to be centrist.

Lot's of right wing people say they are centrist. Which is strange, because if being right wing is so good, why don't they embrace it...

Wouldn't want to know what he would consider right wing extremism then.

tbf they might look like it if you're a nazi

Right wing people are so dishonest and stupid, and I can't tell when it's one or the other.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Depends. Plenty of fascists do a thing where they attempt to will their own reality, disregarding any information that contradicts this imagined world view.

I have ADHD, I'm sometimes feeling bad when my attention span is not working in my favour. But then I see the Internet Debaters and I feel better. At least I have a measurable attention span. Those people don't.

They are extremists... They are classified as far right. If they are the center, I don't want to know what's right of them.

It’s recognized as a right winged extremist party. But here comes mister full self driving and lies again!

As social democrat, it is unfortunate that the right co-opted centrism.

they will co-opt anything if it makes them look "normal"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Lol. You have a point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

AfD is only "centrist" if your center is far right. Keeping in mind how difficult it is - for important historical reasons - to mark a political party as extremist in Germany, they must have amassed evidence that would have led to way more extreme reactions in other countries.
