No seriously, guys.
Musk talked about Israel, they tried to cut his ad funds.
He gave them the literal middle finger,
And exactly one week later, ya'lls Lord and Savior, John Oliver, does an exposé on what a terrible person he is, and how we "cool kids totes don't luke twitter any more".
But don't worry. Not ONCE does he actually discuss Elon Musk's argument. Not ONCE. Never ever. But Mr Oliver wasted no time calling him conservative and stupid.
Cancel culture playbook:
Call them conservative (Elon Musk's increasingly libertarian comments!)
Call them stupid (look at that dumb fighter pilot jacket! Lol what a tool!)
And don't EVER EVER talk about their side of the argument.
Elon Musk also agreed with someone who said Jews weren't white and trying to oppress white people, so maybe his talk about Israel isn't motivated by a magnanimous nature?
Also, I hated Elon Musk since he called a cave rescuer 'pedo guy' for doing a better job than his stupid submarine idea and actually rescuing trapped children. Which was... let me check... six years before my Lord and Savior, John Oliver, did his exposé.
It's super easy for me to see because I grew up with two liberal, academic powerhouse parents. Mom taught high School English, dad taught sixth grade math, science, and PE.
If I pretended my red neck conservative neighbors were black,
The ones living next to me, growing up in the 90s....
If you heard the way my parents talked about them, and didn't know they were white,
The way they shit talked those m*"""f*"""""s......
You would call my parents the biggest most racist pieces of shit of the planet.
Liberal Bigotry. Left WIng Fundamentalism.
It's a real thing.
Google "Puritans" and read up.
But don't worry. You can always go back to naively sh*talking twitter.....
Because the point is... The world is not black and white.
Responding to yourself twice does not make me want to take you any more seriously.
"some people are rude to black people simply because they are black. this is racism, and very bad."
ok so far so good
"i am just as oppressed as black people, because people are rude to me simply because i hate jews"
aaaand there it went. they always trip at the finish line
oh, so that was the point all along !
