For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

MODERATORS
"the thing you're fixated on is the futile thing"
The only way you can think civil rights are futile is if you have already given up.
If that's the case, then take yourself out of the equation and stop talking about issues you don't care about.
If you haven't given up, explain how making sure people have civil rights is futile.
"it assumes..."
no, it doesn't. you're making assumptions, don't do that.
"special interests" (it's the capitalist class..."
Yes, those are special interests.
"I don't think a qanon style campaign to stop the steal is realistic"
this is literally what I'm telling you. step away from qanon, Focus on real evidence and making changes that benefit people.
you're fixated on the futility of everything, but you are incorrectly assuming that nothing can be changed because you are not willing to fight for that change.
that is simply incorrect.
people thought Trump was going to have his second term 4 years ago, and then he was voted out.
change happens all the time, you're complaining that it can, despite overwhelming constant evidence that things are always changing.
I'm literally out there multiple days of the week organizing, we've fed thousands over the years.
In person organizing around addressing the material issues is what's needed, not slapping a new coat of paint on the war machine every 4 years.
I don't think you're fixated on civil rights, you're fixated on winning a carnival game that I'm trying to explain to you is a sideshow compared to what's going on outside the circus (and it has always been rigged).
Let me know if you need any help with your cosplay, I'm good with a sewing machine.
"I'm literally out there multiple days of the week organizing"
got it, thanks for that, but here you're venting futility all out here without any reason to.
"I don't think you're fixated on civil rights"
that's your problem right there.
"you're fixated on..."
remember how you were wrong the previous times you tried to make assumptions?
you're wrong here too.
If you care about helping people, be aware that your defeatist whinging here is counterproductive to your stated goals.
"not slapping a new coat of paint on..."
if you're living in the states then you are literally slapping new paint on the war machine every 4 years.
where do you think your taxes go?
Yes that's what I'm saying and it's a little weird to be so invested in what color it is rather than addressing the material issues.
Have fun melting down over the election, I'm going outside.
"and it's a little weird to be so invested in what color it is"
it is weird you care enough to continually rant about these issues and swear you don't care, so it's good you're joining me outside.
