There is no war but class war.
Pete Parsons would be thrilled that all of you are blaming each other instead of focusing on him and his generational mismanagement.
Marathon didn’t kill Destiny. The community didn’t kill Destiny. Management did.
@EldritchHorns@DominusClarus@magnetonlyfans If by nation you mean nationality then you are correct, if you mean nation as a form of governance then no, nation-states did not exist until 1648
I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.
Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.
The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.
If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.
The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.
What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.
Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.
ELON IS AUTISTIC. HE'S ISN'T A N@Z1
😡 I'm angry right now. I have a brother who is autistic and I know a thing or two about this.
Most autistic people have difficulty expressing feelings. Elon does not express feelings very often. When he put his hand over his heart and then put his hand out towards the crowd, he was attempting to share love.
That's actually difficult for many autistic people. He felt strongly about something and was trying to express that.
For many people to suggest that he was making a n@z1 salute is completely beyond acceptable and shows their ignorance or that they are being intentionally deceptive.
Elon was expressing love, stop trying to make it into anything else!
My take on the Elon Hitler salute thing is that it was unintentional in the sense that he intended to make it a more ambiguous hand gesture with plausible deniability but completely fucked it up
