Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[El Doederino]

Elon Musk is not a British citizen.

Pretty confident you wouldn’t be happy if citizens of other countries stuck their nose into things in this country.

Let the British authorities deal with it if there is any substantial evidence.

That’s the point. The British authorities aren’t dealing with it.

 

[El Doederino]

Not a fan of Musk the person... doesn't mean I dislike everything he does. You need to differentiate as life isn't a simple liking or disliking everything about someone.

No doubt Musk is a genius entrepreneur... but the billions has gone to his head & he is now butting into other countries politics which imo he should stay out of.

You liked a post that said “I dislike Musk totally”

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You liked a post that said “I dislike Musk totally”

Yeah as a person not really a fan.

Hence call him Dr Evil.

 

[arrowman]

Musk has no idea what he is talking about and doesn't actually care about the kids.

Stated as fact, but it's just an evidence-free assertion.

 

[arrowman]

those on the right go on about free speech but it isn’t an argument about free speech it is an argument about misinformation.

Who decides what is misinformation, and how do you control it?

 

[arrowman]

if there is any substantial evidence.

LOL.

Look, I am aware your bigoted views rely on turning unproven things into facts.

But that is indeed an opinion, this is forum.

Please list my bigoted views.

 

[Cap]

Please list my bigoted views.

I don't think we need to revisit the whole trans debate again.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why you like Musk, but everyone else sees this for what it is, Musk trying to expand his influence.

Thats it, thats all he cares about.

 

[arrowman]

I don't think we need to revisit the whole trans debate again.

Oh OK, believing in the rights of women and children is "bigoted". It's a great way of avoiding any substantive debate, just responding to any argument with "that's bigoted!". Straight out of the trans activist playbook.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I don't think it's healthy for the billionaire owners to decide what is misinformation as we know they have agendas...

Now we have Musk trying to influence world politics which is not a great thing given he doesn't exactly have a great moral compass.

 

[arrowman]

What about politicians?

Yes, like you don't really care about women's sport or women's safety, Musk really doesn't care about the Children.

Thats the act to espouse the bullshit.

Musk has had a beef with the UK for well over 12 months, this is just a continuation of that.

Thats the problem with misinformation, it's a tough nut to crack and really doesn't help with bad actors so freely sharing BS.

Stricter media laws and maybe some accountability for politicians might help?

Feel like the ship has sailed though.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What about politicians?

Well we vote them in to act on our behalf... & get the ability to vote then out. So yes, they should be putting in the right governance.

We have already had wealthy people unduly influence our politicians in the past... which is why I want all political donations to go... so there is no need for paybacks.

Many of these billionaires are narcissistic, so not healthy that they become king makers in politics... as will do it for their own self interests & agendas.

The technology billionaires don't want to protect us from misinformation... as allows them to drive their own agendas.

We have seen what happens anytine a government stands up to them...

They’re really losing the plot over on the Turbo Nerd thread.

What is the Big Footy equivalent of “out for the count”? This has to be getting close

It’s amazing that anyone takes her seriously over there. But they do.

 

[StonesThrow]

Facebook already lets bullshit roam around anyway. It's a horrible place.

 

[Mutineer]

Musk doesn’t give a shit about renewables, it is all about the $$$. How can you not see that?

BYD says hello.

LOL

And Simon Holmes A Court is different.....NOT.

adelaidecrows , you like the OGC post that included the US declaring war against Australia. I know you’re a long way gone, but surely you’re not that far gone. Care to explain why you are genuinely worried that Trump will try and take Oz by force?

 

[Cap]

LOL

No he isn't any different to any other billionaire

But no one feels the need to worship him, nor defend other awful behaviour.

Not surprised you don't like him though, definitely not your type.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Can any of the trumpies in here explain why this shit isn’t insane?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Truly bizarre bizarre that the right keep insisting if this facade of protecting women children while supporting a rapist and paedophile.

The whole 51st state of the USA & threatening huge tariffs is pure bullying tactics.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

DJT can do it.
Trump did more in one hour than Biden did in four years
