    Anti immigration…. Musk is an immigrant… an immigrant to the states, an immigrant to South Africa. His decision totally makes sense… it’s self hatred.

    I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

    And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

    Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

    And i was like, ohok and he continues.

    "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

    And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

    And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

    And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

    Why is it that these rich fucks are so hateful? Man… I’d be blissful if I had a tiny fraction of what that shitbag makes in an hour.

    Already done that 4 years ago, after reading 10 Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now by Jaron Lanier.

    Thanks for the reminder. Accidentally logged in with a Google account a while back and haven’t deleted the account since because I forget to because I never use it. When I went to delete it today the first thing that I saw was some kind of anti-semitic bullshit.

    Top.

    Fucking.

    Post.

    I hadn’t interacted with the platform and that’s the first fucking thing I saw.

    Nazi Bar.

    Edit: just a friendly reminder to block and report.

    If you were looking for a choir to preach to, I imagine this is about as choir a choir as one could find. Where this image really needs to go is on Xitter. Not that anyone here is likely to go register a Xitter account to do so.

      Fair, but I’m still amazed how many people - reasonable, rational people - continue to use it.

      I think it’s more productive to talk to people you know IRL who use it. For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.
