“ Musk has revealed himself to be conservative, ”
This is a nakedly partisan comment and “conservative” is code word for “dissenting from the regime”. I personally like people who stand up to the regime and support civil rights.
- defterGoose 4y agoUhhh, the meaning of conservative in a political context is much closer to "agrees with the status quo at some point in (past)U(present)"
- klyrs 4y agoHe supports the rights of oligarchs, anyway... but that's not really "standing up to the regime," is it?
- the_other 4y agoCan you provide a definition of “the regime” and examples of how it infringes civial rights?
- arrakeen 4y ago> “conservative” is code word for “dissenting from the regime” TFA literally provides an axiomatic definition of "conservative" from which to interpret the author's statement. and spoiler alert: it does not mean “dissenting from the regime” now, whether or not to accept the axiom as truth is beyond the scope of the quoted criticism
