On the off-chance you missed it, The richest man in the world, a dull-eyed cloistered neo-Nazi who believes in natalism and that he, as an elect denizen of the master races, has a duty to "breed" as much as possible, a man who purchased a social medium specifically to gatekeep public conversation, to support political candidates that specifically worked for a violent fascist overthrow of the United States, and to reinstate, validate and amplify the voices of fellow neo-Nazis previously banned from the medium for telling Jews randomly and routinely to "get in the oven," who aped, shared and blessed white supremacist "great replacement" theory that specifically prescribes ethnic cleansing as a means of sanitizing sacred "Western culture," and who fanned those voices, including that of a multicount-indicted slaver and sex trafficker and zealous advocate of the subjugation of women, to spark a wave of neo-Nazi riots across England wherein frothing white men tried to burn people in their sleep - that man publicly told Taylor Swift last night, via tweet, that he would deign to rape and impregnate her as some kind of dithering attempt to deter her from her endorsement of a non-fascist presidential candidate.
I share this because any fucking time these preening powerful reactionary "Alpha" white men tell you they are not weird-ass psychos, there is not an iota of evidence supporting their case.

Not remotely suggesting she can't deal with this shit on her own, but I would LOVE to see Travis Kelce have a candid "conversation" with this piece of shit.
I am obviously pretty critical of capitalism, its corporate media subsidiaries and the system of servility it seeks to impose upon the world, but I would think, even in that gross corrupt world, "Billionaire Proposes to Rape World's Biggest Popstar for Not Embracing Fascism" might be a bigger story that maybe had some kind of consequences.

@GrimmReality What does the existance of a billionair have to do with capitalism. In socialism billionairs exist by design and far fewer of them, they just happen to be the people in charge. Stalin was one of the richest people in history and clearly wasnt part of a capitalism.
inb4: I am not saying all communism needs to have billionaires in theory. Just in practice all that have existed have more effectively pooled money into a few peoples hands than a capitalism ever could.
@freemo @GrimmReality the original post about Musk and Swift isn't anything to do with socialism, but about the current system tolerating Musk's outrageous and evil comments. I don't think the billionaire count in socialism, or even in capitalism, is particularly relevant.
@peter_ellis @freemo @GrimmReality @Urban_Hermit
The system doesn’t tolerate Musk’s comments. We are powerless to stop him other than boycotting every product with which he is involved (Tesla, SolarCity, Twitter, etc.). So to that extent, many of us do not.
What action do you specifically wish to stop that you feel we are powerless to stop?
@freemo @peter_ellis @GrimmReality @Urban_Hermit
I was responding to @peter_ellis.
What actions do I want to stop? None. He’s entitled to say any stupid thing that pops into his mind, as he often does. Where he owns a social media site, we are powerless to stop him there. I don’t go there. Haven’t for quite a long while. Thanks.
> I was responding to @peter_ellis.
I am aware, and tagged me to keep me in thr comversation, so here i am.
And yea he owns twitter, im not not sure what you are suggesting we are powerless to stop? Like twitter from existing? Him from posting? What ia it in an ideal world you want to stop specifically? Seems as you pointed out most of that is stopped by just not using twitter or blocking him on twitter. It seems far from powerless, nor do we need to block everything he owns. Just dont engage in the part you dont want to, problem solved. You can block himnon twitter and never ha e to hear him while still.buying a tesla.
