      same sort of vibe as

      I just downvoted your comment.
      FAQ
      What does this mean?

      The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.
      Why did you do this?

      There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

      • Rudeness towards other Redditors,

      • Spreading incorrect information,

      • Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

      Am I banned from the Reddit?

      No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
      I don’t believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

      Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
      How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

      Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

      I guess it was inevitable given he’s deep in the EA/Rationalist justifications for techbros, but he has definitely been reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

    I think very few deaths in Palestine right now are not murders, direct or indirect. It seems hard to say that’s not an objective description.

    I wonder if the ADL/Greenblatt is still doing deals on the backend? “Elon, tweet this out and show your hand as pro-Zionist and we can smooth over some of those Nazi comments you made.”

    (This is just additional speculation on top of a confirmation (by Greenblatt) that he was communicating with Elon after he said he’d be banning people for “for the river to the sea.”)

      Elon doing a birthright trip and opening up his cranium to the freakiest Zionist propagandists should have signaled to everyone that he’ll be hard in the paint for Israel for at least the next few months. Maybe he’ll go do an interview with Andrew Tate or Richard Spencer after that and develop a completely new answer to the Jewish Question. But for the time being, expect a lot of his old faves to cry over his betrayal and a lot of new flag-emoji posters to feature prominently in his mentions.

        Did Elon really go on birthright?

        This is probably a joke, but I can believe anything now days. His south African white heritage might entitle him to a birthright trip

          Did Elon really go on birthright?

          He was recently invited to Israel by the state government, for the purpose of shaping his opinion on the Gaza War. Not literally birthright, but I imagine they’ll be filling his ears with the same garbage apartheidist shit they stuff in the heads of all those high schoolers looking for an all-expenses vacation to Tel Aviv.

            It probably reminds him of his childhood

            That’s simultaneously hilarious, gross, and completely unsurprising

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/martyr

    * a person who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty of witnessing to and refusing to renounce a religion

    • a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle a martyr to the cause of freedom

    • VICTIM

    especially : a great or constant sufferer

    Does this not acuratrly describe these Palestinian deaths? Have they not been subject to great and constant suffering for the Palestinian cause? Has their life not been involuntarily sacraficed in the cause of Palestinian freedom? Are they not victims of aparthied and genocide?

    Firing a flight of rockets at the general vicinity of Elon’s house is not murder if you aren’t deliberately trying to kill Elon specifically.

    His definition, not mine.
