  • Apartheid Clyde

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 7 11:47:53 2024
    Elon Musk is intrigued by the idea women can't think freely because of
    'low T'


    Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's ketamine

    Every time I think Elon Musk can?t possibly sink any lower, he grabs a
    shovel and starts digging. In recent months, Apartheid Clyde (as he is nicknamed) has been doing his best to get Donald Trump elected by any
    means possible. As well as throwing money and an endorsement Trump's
    way, Musk has posted multiple false election claims and reposted a
    fake version of Kamala Harris's first campaign video that has been
    doctored to make her say she is the "ultimate diversity hire".

    When Musk isn't meddling in politics, he's busy posting misogynistic
    memes on X, the social media platform he has slowly been turning into
    an advertiser-haemorrhaging cesspool of hate. He's posted an
    extraordinary amount of unhinged content in the past, but last Sunday
    he really outdid himself: the billionaire reposted a tweet from
    "Autism Capital" that suggested that "women and low T men" are not
    able to think freely because they "can't defend themselves
    physically". The only people who can think freely are "high T alpha
    males and aneurotypical people ... this is why a Republic of high
    status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy
    only for those who are free to think."

    So what did Musk write in response to this wildly sexist post that
    originally appeared on 4chan, the far-right messaging board that has
    been described as the "blueprint for white supremacist groups"? He
    wrote: "Interesting observation."

    It's possible, I suppose, that Musk meant "interesting" in the sense
    that British people often use it - which is as a polite way of saying:
    "That's total nonsense, you ridiculous loon." But judging by Musk's
    past behaviour, one imagines there's a very good chance he found the
    post genuinely interesting.

    Great nickname, but why stop there? The misogyny, fascism, shitposting, absentee fatherism and general human shittiness seem ripe for the
    picking.

    Fascist Shitterposter.

    I follow decent people on X (Twitter), and from time to time, Musk's
    posts are reposted. For an educated person, one can see thru his
    BS/etc in his reposted posts.

    Apparently, he believes there will be onlookers who will take his
    'bait' hook, line, and sinker. So in my mind, he's a power tripping
    control freak, similar to Trump, without moral fiber.

    He's at the "Tommy's Holiday Camp" stage, but Tommy's motive was
    altruistic, where his is about self-interest.

    Tommy (The Who album) - As Tommy grows older, he discovers that he can
    feel vibrations sufficiently well to become an expert pinball player
    ("Pinball Wizard"). His parents take him to a respected doctor
    ("There's a Doctor"), who determines that the boy's disabilities are psychosomatic rather than physical. Tommy is told by the Doctor to "Go
    to the Mirror!", and his parents notice he can stare at his
    reflection. After seeing Tommy spend extended periods staring at a
    mirror in the house, his mother smashes it out of frustration ("Smash
    the Mirror"). This removes Tommy's mental block, and he recovers his
    senses, realising he can become a powerful leader ("Sensation"). He
    starts a religious movement ("I'm Free"), which generates fervour
    among its adherents ("Sally Simpson") and expands into a holiday camp ("Welcome" / "Tommy's Holiday Camp"). However, Tommy's followers
    ultimately reject his teachings and leave the camp ("We're Not Gonna
    Take It"). Tommy retreats inward again ("See Me, Feel Me") with his
    "continuing statement of wonder at that which encompasses him".[7]

    No offense to the crowd that experienced this in the 60s, but I always
    thought this was a pretty stupid album.

    I've viewed it in terms of behavior (Psychology)

    "Townshend came up with the concept of Tommy after being introduced to
    the work of Meher Baba, and he attempted to translate Baba's teachings
    into music."

    Btw, a double album
