[JOMFA]

Should we start putting more stock in the "accelerationism" theory?

Dude is a mess. Idk why anyone would actually listen to anything he has to say.

Way too many people do though. He's another clear and present danger. The reasons should be discussed
on MAP though.

i think "Accelerationsim" is simply a by -product of moving to "techoncracy"

I posted on MAP- go look up North American Technate- pay attention to our current "land acquisition desires" and the map, along with who was a staunch supporter of this in the 1930s - Musks grandfather.

There is an element of the population that worships the wealth hoarding class. They believe they too will be a part of it one day. There's an entire world of wealth and finance influencer bros selling people (mostly young men) on bullshirt and lies.

Beyond that, Elon specifically has cultivated a cult of personality for a long time. There are many, many people out there thst genuinely believe he is a once in a lifetime genius who will save the world.

Clearly he is not. We see him for what he is now, a not particularly bright man who Forrest Gump'd his way to extreme wealth and the man behind the curtain has now been exposed for all to see. But sunk cost fallacy is a thing even when it comes to investing time and energy, and Elon worshippers won't give up on that investment lightly.

Sadly, there's a serious (well, actually, total) amount of right in this post.

If you can call what happens in MAP "discussions".

Exactly why they're not allowed on the main boards.

Not quite like I remember it, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm old enough to remember when Elon's purchase of Twitter was a great accomplishment in the name of free speech . . .

As much as I dislike Musk and everything that has to do with him, I don't like the vandalism of his dealerships, just as I never liked the burning of local businesses during protests/riots. And no, it's not domestic terrorism either, it's a crime, just like if you torch a furniture store. You can accomplish all you want against Tesla just by boycotting them. It's having an effect. You don't need to vandalize. I don't agree with vandalizing personal vehicles either. The people that are projecting those images onto the back of Cybertrucks though, are geniuses.

but notice when they talk about the domestic terrorism, they mention the boycott itself, not just the vandalism. that is not a coincidence.

Vandalizing his sheet just lines his pockets. It's a terrible strategy.

That said, I'm not entirely convinced he's not behind it, lol.
