So it's "kinda complicated" because... you've tagged people disagreeing with Musk as "Brooklyn Socialist". And such "Brooklyn Socialists" are, apparently, people you can not imagine ever agreeing with, on anything.
But sometimes, you also disagree with Musk. Which should be impossible, logically, if the above were true. Which is causing some sort of cognitive dissonance.
And your current thinking on this breakdown in everything you hold to be true is that Elon Musk is the rare subject that's not quite as easy to judge within your simple good/evil framework that usually works so well.
Have you considered that maybe it's your thinking in tired clichés that's giving you all the trouble here? Maybe Elon Musk is right on some things, wrong on others? Maybe "Brooklyn Socialists" aren't always wrong on everything?
I believe I know some people you might file under that term, and some of them like cats, others don't, and there's one who doesn't care either way. Unless you categorically deny the existence of cats, it would seem impossible for you to disagree with all of them.
- firasd 7y agoNo, it's the other way around--I was talking about online communities that are primed to say vacuously negative things about Musk. I'm saying I never quite agree with the gratuitous pile-ons, but sometimes there are legit issues with his behaviours.
