What Musk is describing is a deranged conspiracy theory, that "shadow left" doesn't exist except as a modern meme-driven equivalent to right-wing fears of communist infiltrators and Jews in academia. It turns out this generation's totenkopf is an AI generated shiba inu.
And there isn't a "shadow right" either, but only because they're acting completely out in the open.
- mrguyorama 2y agoThere can't be a "shadow left" anything in the USA because the US, by popular request dragged its systems of leftist organization out into the street and executed them decades ago. When Reagan narc'd on his coworkers for having "communist sympathies" he became such a national brand he got elected in one of the best election outcomes for the right basically ever. That's why the US "left" is reduced to whinging about how democrats don't do socialism (from a position of zero power in the government) and therefore you shouldn't vote for them. They don't seem to notice it has been 50 years of only making the problem worse.
- deepfriedchokes 2y agoIt’s in-group/out-group narrative. In order to claim to be the good guys you have to invent a bad guy. It’s a power/ego game played by people who are abusive. Both parties play it.
- krapp 2y agoThe "bad guy" invented by the right isn't real. The "bad guy" of the left is real. There is no "radical-left shadow government" but there is clearly a radical-right shadow government forming and acting as we watch.
