Comment on Bait or r*ta*d*ti*n. Call it.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 week agoYou keep acting like saying “Elon Musk is a Nazi” is some kind of sacred password that proves moral clarity, when in fact it just shows you’ve got your rhetorical hammer and now everything’s a fascist-shaped nail. I don’t need to prove to you that I see Musk for exactly what he is—he’s a megalomaniacal, racist, transphobic, apartheid-raised billionaire whose social media platform has become a fascist pipeline and who pals around with actual white supremacists. You don’t get points for calling that out. That’s the bare minimum. The difference is I’m not so lost in self-righteousness that I think calling him names solves anything.
That’s a lot of words to avoid four little letters.
You don’t trust me to oppose fascists because I don’t use your exact tone or terms.
I don’t trust you to oppose fascists because you’re advocating working with a nazi and refusing to call him one.
