Radiorum Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 2 hours ago, CdnFox said: Ahh so it wasn't a "nazi" salute, it was a narcissist salute I assume you are trying to be funny, or else that’s a really poor understanding of my point. I’ll add to it. Musk is like Trump in the way that they both outrage to distract from their real agenda (which is to concentrate power and money in the hands of the very wealthy). They both use that manipulation technique – outrage and distract. Look at this thread for confirmation that it works. “It was a Nazi salute.” – “It was not a Nazi salute.” And repeat. Having said that, Musk’s salute may have something to do with his feud with Bannon. Musk may be trying to court away the anti-Semite support Bannon enjoys, and what better dog-whistle than a Nazi salute. Trump supporters remind me of Donald Rumsfeld’s famous axiom about “unknown unknowns” – “There are known knowns — there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns — that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” Quote

Sadly I understand the point you were trying to make all too well.

You sound like every teenager ever You just don't get me man!! *Snif!* Your posts indicate that you're on the left and fairly far on the left at that. If that's not accurate then explain what you feel your political position is and be done with it. Dancing around it like that doesn't make you look cool or mysterious, it kind of makes you look like a bit of a twit Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

You didn't need to use the word to make your meaning clear, and no you didn't describe things as they are. You describe things as you were biased and hate-filled brain interprets them Quote So you are conceding that to be ruled by the drive for wealth and power is evil? Are you asking if my statement is a concession to the point that you claim you never brought up? Odd thing to ask seeing as you thought I never brought it up And no, I made no commentary one way or another on wealth or evil. All you can say from my comment was that I believe that you think that musk and trump are evil Quote Not required to come to the conclusions I made. It is. Or something like it. You're making very detailed and firm statements about his mental state, his intent, and his motivations as well as those things in his past as well. That doesn't come from casual acquaintance or observation in a few news stories. So where are you getting this? The obvious answer is that this is what fills your narrative. In other words you appear to have arrived at a conclusion and are now working your way back to a series of things that support it whether they're true or not Quote The weakness in your argument speaks more to support my point than yours. You might be able to make a case there if you could point at the weakness in my argument. But of course you haven't. Would suggest you're just trying to deflect and avoid the fact that your own viewpoints have been shown to be faulty Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
impartialobserver Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 A bit melodramatic this thread is. When a Democrat wins in 2028. the same conservatives on here will say the same thing.. its the end of democracy and other Chicken little hyperbole. Quote

And you would fit in nicely with other leftist losers. No clear position, no Reason or logic, and with a strange impression that trying to sound nebulous makes you sound cool when in fact it just makes you sound mildly befuddled. Elon musk is not a politician. He's not trying to play 3D chess with anyone. That's for yourself, pro tip: Actual intelligent people can clearly articulate their positions on just about anything and generally explain why they feel that way using reason and logic rather than just "Muh Feels".

CdnFox Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 1 hour ago, eyeball said: It was Einstein's brain fart actually. No, you're confusing the curvature of space with the curvature of spacetime in it's entirety. It's the second one that would allow you to see the back of your head, the first one was einsteins.
