    Imagine being literally the richest person in the world. You can afford anything, you can go anywhere, you can do anything. But you spend most of your free time begging for attention from absolute strangers. What a pathetic little bitch.

    NOW can we fucking can this guy? SpaceX? Tesla? He’s already flushed the cancer-formerly-known-as-twitter so we’ll leave him that one.

    The significance that it’s IBM calling it first should not be lost on anyone.

    It’s surely only a matter of time before he becomes a climate change denier, right? He’s gone all in every other right wing weirdo ideology.

    So, Elon dislikes that white people can’t be proud of being white.

    Why would a person of any race be proud of their race? Shouldn’t people be proud of their own accomplishments, and those of the people they’ve helped?

    I never really understood the rationale here. I support Pride Month for example, but I think the language is kind of wrong.

    Shouldn’t people be proud, despite traits which have historically been denigrated?

    This is a serious question BTW.

      I think white people have the least to be proud of of any other people.

      What have we accomplished? We stole land, science, math, technology, the whole concept of civilization, and pretty much anything else you could think of, from non-white people. We stand on the shoulders of colored giants, and act relish the scent of our own shit because of it. Literally a lesson in “history is written by the victor”.

      Basically all we really have that’s purely our own is our art, philosophy, and religion. And even a lot of that is stolen and built upon.

      It’s not that easy for a lot of users. People created a network on it and they can’t change so easily as theirs jobs depends on these networks.

        That is true and is something those in control of these sorts centralized social media services count on. Why Reddit was so cocky about the impact of the protest just blowing over. Sort of did. We the people feed the powerful and cannot stop.

          I was thinking about researcher and research. A lot of people working in these fields and people interested in these fields can’t move to somewhere else. They would change but it’s really hard and everyone has to move.
