Because I don't believe what you just said about him. Literally not even one detail.

- BatFastard 3mo agoNo need to believe, just look at the facts.
- stronglikedan 3mo agoOk done. Still don't believe it cuz the facts don't support it. It's interesting to see how far people attempt to stretch the facts tho.
- inlined 3mo agoIn good faith, what is your burden of proof that would change your mind?

- timr 3mo agoI know that this is a tall order, but consider that this might not actually be “objective”, and that instead, you’re substituting your opinion for facts. (You don’t need to enumerate all of the things you believe justify the statement. I’m well familiar with them. I’m just trying to make you understand that there’s a layer of subjectivity here.)

- qup 3mo agoPeople like to say things like this and present zero links. It should be easy to prove, but you'll link when he waved to the crowd or whatever.
- blactuary 3mo agoScroll through his twitter account and you won't make it more than a couple days without something racist Also, after Elon bought Twitter, when people called me the n-word and I reported it, moderation said no rules were broken and no action would be taken. Before he bought twitter that was not the case, they'd be banned. So you can buzz off with this nonsense. I won't break any rules and say what should be said.
- popalchemist 3mo agoYup. This guy is a straight up white supremacist.

- threethirtytwo 3mo agoNo he doesn't. There's a lot of bullshit surrounding him. Things are taken out of context. I will say this, he believes in things about race that are controversial. For example that races may have different IQs. But you have to realize we don't actually know if races have different IQs. The idea fits common sense though... if races can LOOK different... what black magic suddenly makes them completely equal in intelligence when the same genes that govern looks also govern intelligence? We don't have hard evidence on this so right now the best we can say is we don't know but measured evidence and common sense points to the possibility of intellectual differences. This, in itself, is not actually racist. He does believe individual meritocracy so meaning even though he believes race correlates with certain stereotypes (like intelligence) he feels that people on the intellectual level need to be judged by merit and not by race.

- threethirtytwo 3mo agoTrue. But you are voted down because not everyone can face the truth. So just lie a little and say "we don't know" even though the truth is we know enough to know that some races are on average more intelligent then others. People have biases around this stuff and most people can't think critically so if you want them to be receptive you have to lie a bit.
- hcurtiss 3mo agoYou are, of course, right. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at that.

- metabagel 3mo agoSeriously? His destruction of USAID and the various estimates of resulting deaths is well documented. https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=title&order=asc https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=titl... https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)01186-9/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
- hcurtiss 3mo agoThose numbers always crack me up. If you do the math that way (US funding cuts kill people), imagine how many people we’ve killed by not confiscating all the wealth of our nation and shipping it to Africa!
- popalchemist 3mo agohttps://hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-shutdown-has-led-to-hundreds-of-thousands-of-deaths/ https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-shutdown-has-led-to-hund... Harvard (as credible a source as there is in the world): USAID shutdown has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths > The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote. He noted that the toll will continue to grow and may go unseen because it can take months or years for people to die from lack of treatments or vaccine-preventable illnesses—and because deaths are scattered. So about half a million children died, children who had no other recourse but to depend on this system which was already in place and for which there is no alternative. If you "crack up" over the death of children, you're lacking some basic humanity.
- hcurtiss 3mo agoYes, and imagine if we doubled the USAID funding! Or even quintupled it! Why, if we borrowed a(nother) trillion dollars, imagine how many lives we'd save! My point is that it's all fake math. If we're killing people by not funding aid programs, then we're killing even more by not funding more. How much are you personally sending to Africa? How much more could you be sending? Imagine if you borrowed to do it? You can't do the math that way. While tragic, those people have no demand on our treasury any more than Vladimir Putin does. We may be less benevolent than we once were. We are also much further in debt than we once were -- to the point of threatening the Republic's viability. The US didn't kill a half million children any more than France, or Spain, or Great Britian, or China did by not sending the same money. It's all fake math.
- NuclearPM 3mo agoHow?
- popalchemist 3mo agoWell, given all your comments in this thread, thanks for outing yourself as an insane person.
