    Kasparaov is kind of a nutcase, and I can remember him spouting some anti-muslim garbage in the past

      He’s a Russian liberal. For all their talks about opposing Putin coz he’s a bloodthirsty dictator, their own views and politics are quite cannibalistic

        “We need to abolish free medicine and stop treating cancer and AIDS patients because they are useless to society.” - the most iconic Russian lib take I ever saw.

        “I don’t fucking care about black savage monkeys living in their shitty Africa” - worthy mention.

          Classic. Especially the first one. “Why should I, awesome and cool and educated and all, be supporting them yucky homeless?!” - actual topic of an article by one Yulia Latynina.

      He’s a hardcore anticom who participates in anticom organizations masqueradung as peace and democracy organizations. He was involved in promoting Juan Guaido for example.

          Elon Musk is the ghost of a 19th century robber baron and the ghost of a 14-year-old redditor (who died c. 2016) both trying to possess the same body. From that dialectic comes… strange results.

        I am 100% convinced that the Starlink stuff was just a stunt to secure funding. Around the same that story was happening, Richard Branson has secured a contract for his private aerospace company to build and operate an aerial start spaceport in Luxemburg. “In the interests of NATO”.

            Musk taking “based” stances on Ukraine is just in pattern with Republicans being “based” by now officially running their campaigns on pulling aid to Ukraine. It’s fascists and the ruling class adopting anti-imperialist rhetoric in order to alienate progressives from anti-imperialist ideas. Because liberals are too fucking dumb to think deeper about the issue and will just think “Republicans support this so it must be evil.”

            It’s literally the extreme right superficially co-opting leftism, like they do over and over again.

    Eh he’s wrong about Ukraine and a whole lot else, but he’s not wrong that rich silicon valley assholes should stfu.

    Musk on the other hand is just always wrong by default.

    I’m not seeing anything ‘based’ here.

      Kasparov got defeated by AI and he’s an absolute idiot outside of chess, so both of those statements are true.

        True but musk is still wrong. It’s just a state of being he exists in, unexplainable by science.

    Remember a while back Grimes did that photo op posing with a copy of Das Kapital?

    My theory is that she reads out loud the bits that she thinks sound cool, and sometimes Elon hears them when he’s high and they stick.

    That way he has this collection of snippets of based ideas that he’ll occasionally drop to sound smart, but without realising that they’re connected to a system of ideas that oppose his billionaire class.

    Holy shit it’s first time when Musk said something not only true but also funny.
