        Have you forgotten the system that Starlin represented, yes he was a totalitarian, but for a left wing ideology. It does us no good to pretend people on our side of the asile can’t go too far too.

          I’m not too well-versed in world-history, but when you look up definitions of “left-wing,” and the policies Stalin implemented, there doesn’t seem to be much overlap. Seems like a lot of authoritarian leftists just used the idea of a vanguard party to seize power and implement policies closer to fascism and state-capitalism than those of communism. Similar to the National “Socialist” Party.

      https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-takes-a-stand-on-the-racism-debate

      Musk constantly repeats this - the “woke mind virus” of cancel culture. In other words, progressives are intolerant and want to erase all those who do not share their values ​​of change, such as gender equality, gender identity, the rejection of discrimination and racism.

      Musk, who is familiar with racial issues because he was born and raised in South Africa at the time of the racist Apartheid regime, did not miss the opportunity to comment and concluded that the media has become racist towards White people.

      It’s hard to summarize into just a single statement. It’s not like Musk has stated himself that he is racist, but it becomes evident if you pay attention.

      Musk is a despicable person through and through, but just how deep it goes is not immediately self evident. You figure things out over time if you pay attention. For instance note how his exes talk about him, and note how he was with Amber Heard while she was still married to Johnny Depp.

      There is so much trash on Musk, it’s not like I have to make things up to make him look worse.
