Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brisketexan replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Elon thinking that anyone believes that HE cares about principles and policies is rich. He cares only about things that will personally enrich or glorify him (feeding his ego, and trying to fill that enormous void of needing validation and love...that will never, ever be filled by ANYTHING external). He has no empathy or concern for any human being other than himself. View everything he says through that accurate lens, and you'll understand all you need to understand about him. Fuck him. I hope that he realizes, with increasing despair and desperation, that nothing he does - no amount of money, no amount of power - will ever fill the void he carries around. He will die empty, alone, and desperate for the love and validation he could never obtain, because he doesn't have the first clue where genuine love and peace come from. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Look, dude.....we all have our price. There is absolutely 100% a number you could give to which I would say "yep, hand me that bucket of sunscreen, I'll get to rubbin' Elmo down." I have dignity and pride....but make no mistake, those principles ARE for sale. -
Jesus fucking Christ. This country is using….Auburn athletics…as a pipeline for national leadership. There’s really no doubt that this country has long-since jumped the shark, and would be best off if it was consumed in the cleansing flames of a total apocalypse.

This. It’s literally the way it ALWAYS goes with authoritarian regimes, which are almost always built on unifying and consolidating power on a foundation of demonizing the “other.” They purge the initial “other.” But they still need an enemy. So they expand the definition of “other.” Again, and again. Eventually including people in former in-groups, even former regime insiders. Idiots think the regime will never come for them. And time after time, they are wrong.

So, let me read that the way that a war crimes tribunal should read it: "So, your defense against the charge that you committed war crimes against civilian residents of Belligerent X is 'well, I wouldn't have war crimed all of those civilians if Belligerent X woulda just surrendered.'" Yeah, not only is that not a defense, it is actually an admission that you are 1) using war crimes and the threat of continuing to commit war crimes to 2) coerce Belligerent X into acceding to your demands. This is impressive. You've actually managed to make yourself out to be MORE of a piece of shit scumbag who supports war crimes. You are as awful a human being as can be imagined. Hell is too good for people like you.

straw man, moving the goalposts, tu quoque etc. You are a fucking liar, and you deal only in logical fallacies. The EXACT conversation is about the IDF targeting civilians at food distribution centers. Not one fucking word about "weapon stockpiles" or any of that bullshit. You tirelessly look for justification for war crimes, when a human being of ANY moral character sees and condemns the war crime. And no, I'd say the group that hates Palestinians the most is the group that has openly stated that they intend to purge all of Gaza of them, completely and totally (the openly stated goal of the Israeli regime and its internal partners). It's a stiff competition, as the gulf states and Palestinian leadership aren't helpful and are actually harmful, but that has nothing to do with the fact that the IDF is purposefully murdering civilians at food distribution points. THOSE civilian deaths aren't a "masturbatory release" -- they are instead the result of deliberate policy of extermination and ethnic cleansing. That - as we decided in the wake of such actions with respect to jews 80+ years ago, is bad.

Jesus. Proposition 1: Civilians die in wars, because wars are messy. TRUE. Proposition 2: Intentionally TARGETING civilians (as opposed to them being incidental casualties) is a war crime. ALSO TRUE. The issue here is not Proposition 1 (sure, it merits its own discussion, the full scope of the war, etc., but that's not what is being raised re the food distribution point slaughters). The issue is Proposition 2. There is much reason to conclude/evidence demonstrating that the IDF is intentionally targeting and killing civilians at food aid distribution points. If that is true, it is a war crime. We should not support the commission of war crimes, we should demand accountability for such war crimes, particularly because they are using our weapons etc. to do so. Jesus fucking christ, the dismissal - FFS, the GLEE - reflected in posts that are okay with the intentional murder of civilians is fucking sick. If you support the INTENTIONAL targeting of civilians in Gaza because Hamas is bad and started shit it shouldn't have, you are a genuinely evil piece of shit.

ICE is a military force. And by budget size, it’s something like the 5th largest in the world. It’s insane. We are a militarized police state, geared entirely at xenophobia.

She shoulda said no to that goddamn unnecessary apostrophe.

Eye rolling goes here. Wife REALLY wanted to try it. Daughter got in from London this afternoon, so of course wanted Mexican food. Ok, we’re going. We drive up. On Saturday night. Jesus Mexicano Christ…there must have been 200 people there, every one of them ripped out of a hipster/hang out at breweries stereotype. We didn’t even park. We ended up at Maudie’s, which was great. Tio Chon FTW.

He’s lying. Every single thing he has said is a lie. Because he’s a MAGA Republican. Lying is their holiest sacrament. -

Pretty sure we'll just use it to post on Surly. I have data on that hypothesis. -
Cool. You know what that makes them? Awful, garbage, evil people. If you go along with evil because of self-interest vs. true belief, that is NOT a lesser evil. Shit, it may be greater, because you fucking know better and STILL support it. Nope. Sorry. We are at the point in the timeline where if you support the Administration of Cruelty and Evil, for ANY reason, you have full moral culpability. "Hey, I just wanted to lift a buncha cash from the bank, I didn't want to murder the guards," when your buddies DID murder the guards so y'all could make your getaway, is zero defense to a felony murder charge for a really solid fucking reason. Politics shouldn't be binary. Until a particular faction decides to plunge so headlong into extremism that they make it that way.

This is correct. And I’m an alarmist, but this sort of thing isn’t unprecedented. Lots of local entities have/had May elections. They either delayed or moved them up in some cases to align with November elections, meaning they are much cheaper to run (the state was already going to have polling places set up). Some officials might see their term extended slightly, or shortened slightly. Now, will THIS admin pull some other shenanigans? Of course.

Anyone can do that. What takes talent is being a USED rectal thermometer salesman.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Brisketexan replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Yep. "I enthusiastically supported making other people suffer, but only when that suffering was visited upon ME did I realize that was a shitty thing." Yeah. That makes you a really awful, terrible, shitty human being. So, you are perhaps the ONLY type of person who deserves to "go through this." "I wanted cruel and awful things for other people! I don't deserve to go through those things myself!" Fuck off, lady. -

This is 100% the rule that they have an constantly apply. White men, by definition, cannot be a DEI hire, so they MUST be a merit hire. Minorities/women CAN be a DEI hire, and therefore, all such hires ARE DEI hires, and are not merit-based.

I hear it's going pretty well. They ordered a new shitstick from Pottery Barn. It's artisanal.

Brisketexan replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Correct in that it is incremental. Step 1: ban all state regulation. Step 2: full capture of Congress and the federal government so ensure no meaningful federal regulation of AI. Dude. Step 2 is already accomplished. Step 1 is actually second in the order of operations, thus ensuring the overarching goal: no meaningful regulation of AI. We are going to do more to make sure that no teenager can see tits on the internet than we're going to do to prevent AI and the internet from ensuring that teenager never has a job. -

Brisketexan replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Well, certainly the smart thing to do is....completely ban all regulation of the technology for the next ten years. Yep, nothing to see here, no worries at all. Just a technology that more than one fucking person (he ain't the only one) says they intend to use to completely end human society and economies, with no replacement in mind.....and a government so in thrall to and captured by those voices that it is going to ban all regulation of that technology. Goddamn, you'd chug the fucking kool-aid every damned time, wouldn't you? -

Do I believe it, as in believe with 100% certainty it will happen? Of course not. When it is a matter of sufficient severity, do I treat it as a threat worthy of our attention? Hell yes. If the representation is "man, Brisket, if I ever met you in a bar, I'd probably punch your face in," I'm not terribly alarmed (shit, I've met me -- I probably couldn't blame you). If the representation is "Brisket, I am coming to your house tonight, at [my actual address], and I'm going to kill you and your wife as you sleep".....yeah, I'm legit alarmed. The severity of the outcome at risk absolutely figures in to how seriously we should take it. "Hey, I intend to eliminate all human life, and here's how I'm going to do it," said by someone who has even an outside chance of accomplishing it? Fucking pay attention to that shit. Jesus tapdancing Christ, we've spent the last 10+ years having person after person tell us we're being alarmist when there are threats to do things like, oh, I don't know, end birthright citizenship, repeal Roe v. Wade, use the DOJ as a personal law firm to pursue one man's vendettas, etc. etc. etc.....only to be fucking right about all of that shit. So, fuck your "you're just being alarmist" shit when there are billionaire oligarchs saying "Brisket, I am going to make sure your kids are unemployed, and unemployable, and have no means to make their way in this world." That's a clear and direct threat against my family and all of humanity. Take it fucking seriously.
