LOL.

The tweet didn't threaten anyone, it was tasteless rhetoric, and it accused "the left" of being violent.

I swear you could pit the entire collection of Republicans against a basic logic quiz and the combined efforts of all of them would be incapable of yielding a passing grade.

It is a commonly quoted trope that bear proof trash cans are notoriously difficult to design - not because it is hard to prevent a bear from opening a trash can, but it is difficult to create one that a Republican still can operate.

DegenerateCharizard t1_j0q9p7h wrote

It’s funny bc he made a terribly worded jab at the left, unprompted, which included the depiction of her son walking alongside two not very fondly remembered historical figures & being hurt. That would understandably upset any parent. Even if it was being said, “in defense,” of her son.

But, all over her tweet are conservatives who LOVE & just absolutely cannot help themselves from explaining to her why she’s got it all wrong. That it’s actually a good thing being said. Calling her easily offended, and a number of other things that I, apparently, can’t say on this sub or else the comment gets removed lol. Verbatim, “this is how hateful the left is, Maye,” as they’re the only ones leaving rabid comments on that thread.

Gotta love Elons little quip about also missing twice - the tired old trope about progressives not knowing how to use firearms. I think most of them would be very surprised about the reality. We just don’t make it part of our mfing personality.

What irks me more than anything is not his trolling it’s just that’s it’s so effing lazy, low effort, lowest common denominator trolling. Like far right uncle on Facebook sharing politics memes level trolling.

muskratboy t1_j0radqr wrote

Plus the guy doesn’t say “shoot at” Elon twice, it says “put both in him” so “and miss twice” doesn’t make any sense. If they put two in him, they didn’t miss. You gotta coordinate your stupid nonsense with the other assholes, Elon.

Exelbirth t1_j0s8ssb wrote

If anything, I would expect us progressives to be a bit more proficient at firearm usage due to a tendency to do things like listening to directions and reading and following instructions, and learning from past experience. I personally don't go out shooting targets on a weekly basis, but my accuracy stays fairly good, presumably from paying attention and actually caring about learning how to do it right.

They're offended at their own idea of what a liberal is.

But to be fair, I may be projecting my own idea of what I think a conservative is. I don't think you'll see much of a difference when you compare the viewpoints as whole entities; at the risk of a platitude - there are outrageous and frankly unintelligent people on both sides, but what gives me confidence that I'm closer to the truth is that I will shine this critical light on my own viewpoint and that I'm actually trying to be fair in the first place.

chernobyl169 t1_j0sbs6e wrote

The difference is that there are hundreds of very loud, very prominent and very irritating self-proclaimed conservatives literally demonstrating the negative stereotype on the daily, yet there is rarely even a single individual that remotely resembles the caricature cast upon liberals.

BossOfTheGame t1_j0sx10i wrote

That feels true, but I wouldn't trust my gut on that without solid measurable evidence. I can design an experiment that would falsify my instinct. That's what it means to check your bias. Personally, I feel like not enough liberals (more generally, not enough people) do that.

chernobyl169 t1_j0sy96c wrote

If you feel the need to design an experiment, then you should do that. I already did and I am reporting my findings to you; I encourage you to falsify them.

BossOfTheGame t1_j0szptu wrote

Did you though? What was your method? Making observations? Did you make measurements? Did you make an effort to find your blind spots and search those as well?

You can say that you believe the anecdotal evidence you've observed is sufficient to come to a conclusion. But please, do not claim that you've designed an experiment. You (probably) haven't.

For what it's worth, I think you'd probably find that conservatives have more irrational protest behaviors than liberals, but then again, the trick is quantifying and measuring it.

YomiKuzuki t1_j0qawxz wrote

Entirely missing the point. Before "free speech absolutionist" elon took over twitter, threats like those would be reported and deleted. Elon is too busy chasing after mean tweets towards him and suspending journalists to actually deal with issues like these threats.

hollywood_gus t1_j0qba8j wrote

Ah, because if the tweets were removed then those people could just keep hiding their hatred. Makes sense.

−39

YomiKuzuki t1_j0qby7h wrote

What? The point of removing them is to not give those views a platform. If they have that platform they can draw like minded people together, and more easily rile themselves up and get enough to support to make those threats credible.

jennathedickins t1_j0rm9p0 wrote

It's not incest from the point of biology is what I'm getting at. I'm not trying to negate how disturbing the situation is in any way whatsoever. The whole thing is super fucked up. Like you said - he raised her. She has no memories before he was her father. In my opinion the only way he could look at her in a sexual/romantic way is if he developed those feelings of her very early on. It's horrifying.

Aspirin_Dispenser t1_j0rupyl wrote

I see what you’re saying, but anytime you have to use the words “technically” and “incest” in the same sentence, I think we can all agree that what’s being described shouldn’t be happening. Biologically, it’s not incest, but morally, it’s definitely incest.

As a side note, how fucking weird is it that “not technically incest” is the most popular porn category on the planet? The Venn diagram of people who think step-sex is wrong and people who jerk off to it must have a lot of overlap.

13

jennathedickins t1_j0rzp7f wrote

That's literally exactly what I said in both my comments, though. So I absolutely agree with you. I also think that's how she probably justifies her fucked up situation in her mind. She was clearly groomed as someone else mentioned and I wouldn't be at all surprised if in her mind she's convinced herself it's somehow ok and that she's not a victim in a super fucked up situation bc it's "not technically incest."

I can also add that I was sexually abused as a young child by my bio father and in my experience speaking with people who were abused as young kids or groomed to be abused at an older age, survivors usually have to come to terms with many different aspects of their situation and the ways they've been impacted or beliefs they held onto to cope. And one of those aspects is who abused us. Abuse is abuse, yet there's an added complexity when it's a family member or trusted adult. And I have often seen those abused by a stepparent or adopted parent rely on the lack of biological connection as a survival/coping mechanism. Yet for people abused by biological family there's an added stigma, whether in our own minds or in society - or both. It's an extremely complex thing to work through and process.

The porn thing is seriously disturbing. Like how fucked up are most people? Obviously I come from a different experience than many people but I just don't get it.

So wait, if these comments are being said to left figures, they're just practicing free speech, and need to accept that they're in the public eye. But if these comments are made to right figures, these are dangerous threats that need to be handled and investigated seriously?

mrpowers55 t1_j0r18lg wrote

I've drawing the Howard Hughs compression also, I don't think Elon has the same same condition but they're both crazy as hell. It feels like every day this week there has been some new controversial / insane policy change at twitter that contradicts his stance on free speech. I mean claiming to be a frees peach absolutist and then publicly banning journalist is seriously insane.

I feel like it's very possible Elon's in the middle of an episode and we're all just getting to witness it publicly while he's hyper focused on making twitter on making twitter more profitable,

My other theory is he's completely sane and just using all this media coverage as free marketing to drive up the twitters web traffic. Time will tell but now I'm leaning towards Elon being a Howard Hughes crazy genius.
