a boer who’s a white nationalist, i’m shocked!

Is he Afrikaner? I thought he was British.

Not that it really matters.

grand parents were canadian, who migrated to canada because they were fans of apartheid. musk was born in pretoria.

musk's dad also alleged that his grand father (apartheid liker) sympathised with the nazi party of germany.

Musk’s dad married his own stepdaughter who he first met when she was 4yo

So elons step sister is also his step mum lol

Whether Tommy is good or bad is a tiny sideshow to the real issue.

What Musk did accomplish was raising awareness of the horrific abuse of young girls, and the cover up of that abuse, that has been taking place across England. Thank God for that.

If he was so keen to stop grooming why did he support Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General as recently as the 19 Nov when it has been public knowledge for over 3 years that he had close links with people grooming/paying a 17yo child??

If he was so concerned about grooming why wouldn’t he call out Trump for attending multiple grooming parties with 14-15yo girls and known creeps like John Casablancas back in the 90s?
?

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year

In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

Executives at X, the company formerly known as Twitter, testified in front of an Australian Parliament hearing late Wednesday, and defended the restoration of an X account after it shared child sexual abuse material in late July. The incident attracted widespread attention because X owner Elon Musk personally intervened to reinstate the account after a violation that would normally result in a permanent ban from the social media platform.

Dunno mate - again, I’m not, and have never, defended him (other than to say I don’t think he’s a Nazi).

I’m just happy about the worlds attention coming on to the grooming gangs in the UK. I think that’s a good thing.

The allegation is that as many as 250,000 girls have been abused by these gangs. It’s horrific.

i remember that. no one who i saw that supports musk could explain his reasoning beyond "free speech".

bizarre, spineless people

Unsurprising though, they’re pretty tolerant of it when it suits them.

Scott Ritter was convicted of trying to groom a police officer posing as a 15yo, there’s Gaetz, Milo Yiannopoulos, shit like this https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/turning-point-usa-pastors-summit-rcna86884

The list no doubt goes on..

it's harrowing but not surprising, sadly.

In another example of conservatives being blatant hypocrites, here's a fun piece

In front of a man claiming to have been appointed by God, saved by God, a man to whom conservative evangelicals have flocked, someone dared to mention … the Bible. Mercy. Compassion. Love. Among the Trump team sitting in the front pews, it was as though someone had released a stink bomb from the pulpit; brows furrowed, voluminous lips pursed, expressions of distaste, even anger.

A brave bishop stumped Trump. You could call it a Bible bashing

Donald Trump has presented himself as a Christian champion, but a Washington cleric just reminded him what Christianity is actually about.

You’re very hard to engage with re politics.

I’m an equal opportunity hater when it comes to politics - they are all grifters pursuing self interest if you ask me. But you live in a world where conservatives tolerate peadophiles and are all hypocrites while seemingly the left can do no wrong.

Have read of this post and others by the same author and, noting that the Tories have done **** all on this issue, see if you tell me your lot are any better and keep a straight face whilst doing it.

interesting thing to say. i’m sure he doesn’t mean guilt for something that was happening in 1939-1945.

 

[Beerfish]

And they shouldn't.


Unless they feel the same way as their grandparents or even great grandparents.

Does Germany focus on it? I’ve always got the sense they have a very strong ‘lest we forget’ message where they don’t shy away from what happened, or the lessons not to let it happen again.

Does the mean guilt? Or just low-to-no tolerance for people trying to espouse similar things.
