But again it’s not about being offended, it’s genuine concern that there’s a return of fascism as a political force and rather than those people are worried about assuaging those concerns they delight in exacerbating them. And once we get to a point where we can pass fascism off as just a prank...

It’s dead babies jokes, holocaust jokes, that kind of thing.

Nah man. Musk kind of Asperger’s doesn’t get the impact of social norm breaking but knows that it’s breaking social norms. I’ve taught loads of Musk’s and been one myself. He will see it like the OK symbol = white power stuff and triggering the libs but he’ll know what he’s doing.

As someone on the spectrum I don’t think that’s it at all.

😂 I don’t think anyone who is a Nazi does the moustache.

I think I’m coming down on the side of intentional troll, the problem with trolls is that it brings along people too stupid to realise it’s a troll. Don’t know if anyone else spent time on 4chan as an edgy teen but I did way back in the “pools closed” days when it was mostly quite smart edgy...

Think this is a good take on it: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/01/musk-trump-inauguration-salute/681390/

It’s the whole piece. On its own no one cares. Paired with other 4chan style “lol fascism for fun” rhetoric it’s a bit different.

I’ve not said that. But “clumsy salutes” or a whole bunch of other stuff was just outright not tolerated for decades after the war. Things like standards in public life, an understanding of the power of political rhetoric, respect for international law, etc aren’t “wokeness” they are the...

What do you mean by “the nonsense”? Pendulums swing, I’d agree that we probably need to swing back in some areas, but the concern that once that swing back starts it’ll also go too far the other way as pendulums do is a fair one. I’ve got mates in America genuinely concerned they’ll lose their...

Liberal democracy, minority rights, self determination, everything 1945-1970 basically.

It’s not about being offended is it? There’s genuine concern from people in minority groups as to what happens if certain democratic norms we put in post WW2 are dismantled.

Have you tried being a better human?

No it’s very very easy and that’s why it’s extremely rare for anyone to do it permanently 😤

The entire gamble with any crypto is as someone I used to know who held BTC said “I think there’s a lot more idiots to come”. There’s a decent argument Trump is about to mint a whole load of new idiots including the US Gov from the looks of it so investments in BTC or ETH might well go up. But...

What process should a British PM use to emulate Trump?

There isn’t one. It’s a pyramid scheme. The hope is there’s more idiots after you than before you. Hence the desire to post on forums to get others onboard.

I seem to have triggered you. You posted about pardons. I’m just pointing out that Trump has also pardoned people. It’s a normal thing presidents do. As for your graph Biden pardoned thousands of people in prison for drug offences that are mostly not illegal any more over there. Trump pardoned...

Found one. “Just needs hard work and self control!!” If altering the chemical balance in their body fixes it is this really true?
