Evangelicals, the American right wing, and even Israeli right-wingers are completely fine with anti-Semitism, as long as people like Elon pay lip service to supporting the “state of Israel.” This is more evidence of that.
Nothing about this surprises me anymore. People will jump through any kind of hoops to justify their hate. Jews with join arms with antisemites if it allows them to kick down at someone else. It’s sad and infuriating and pathetic but it’s clearly a part of the human condition.
I’ve been reading the “choosing beggars” subreddit lately and it’s like apparently slavery could come back at any minute because there’s hordes of people expecting others to work for no money? our neighbors are wishing for someone they could treat as a slave, like right now, not hundreds of years ago.
Post after post of stuff like
I need someone to watch my kids for 60 hours a week, cook all our meals, and I can only pay $100 a week, who’s in?
hey I need this done for my business, for completely free, just for the experience, I can’t pay you anything.
It’s results-oriented thinking that doesn’t apply to just hate. Lots of people will jump through hoops to justify trying to maximize their preferred outcomes.
I feel like the /r/choosingbeggars stuff, while still a demonstration of shitty human nature, isn’t exactly an out-and-out desire to keep slaves or anything. I feel it’s more of a “I know there are desperate and gullible people out there that are easily taken advantage of…and I sure hope I find one so I can personally benefit!”
People need to stop thinking that making unrealistic requests is wrong or deserving of ridicule. It’s pretty toxic to try to monetize every aspect of society.
The elderly neighbor needs their sidewalk shoveled? Sure, no problem. $40.
I don’t know if this reporter did much pizzagate coverage, but if you follow the twitter thread, Musk references this case, so I think he’s “the expert”
In related news I had no idea who Grimes was until TikTok recently and mysteriously began serving me Grimes videos. My God, what are their kids going to be like?
