He's so shitty I don't even know where to start, but so many people on there are convinced he's some kind of heroic anti-corruption reformer and taking on the CIA and shit.
I'm starting to sour on the platform over it, I was enjoying talking politics on there but now my feed is flooded with Musk worship 🤮
Ask them how they feel about his drug use. I told one I don't like him because he uses ketamine and they about when into a struggle session
No one has ever responded when I mention he's a reactionary with the same politics as the civil war era KMT.
Yeah, maybe the comments get deleted for being political? Idk
Pivot to recipes, the pig farmer, and culture content. I'm convinced that there's a bunch of botting going on with anything political. The Marxism sneaks in the side door that way. If you go at it head on you run into the western billionaire funded disinformation ops.
Lol pretty much. Such is the fate of being a foreign liberal who thinks living in the US means you’ll live like the people on tv.
With people going on XHS and telling folks there what life's like back home, I'm sure it'd much less, and probably some of them would be charity organizations
I'd change it just slightly:
“If you like America so much why don’t you move here?”
Oh, I'm currently working abroad so that wouldn't have sounded right
On a shitty musk thread, press and hold on the image/video and select "Not interested." If you do this a few times the musk spam should largely fade out of your feed.
I've been doing that, but I've also been clicking on stories to translate them first so I might have been giving the algorithm mixed signals. I also want to be able to discuss politics, and it's hard to avoid.
Damn, my XHS is much better.
Since the Nazi salute, most of the Musk worshippers disappeared, and now I mostly see comments about how we need to hang him from a lamppost.
Yeah dunno what OP has been browsing to get that, but this is what my feed looks like:
Show
Show
I generally hate anything with a personalized algorithm and avoid them like the plague, so maybe I've screwed it up. There's nothing in my likes but I might be interacting with the wrong stuff. I'm just gonna start automatically disliking everything with Musk or Trump's face, I guess.
I would ask them to please be informed because, as Mao said, 'No Investigation, No Right to Speak'.
You can direct them to this clear summary of how Musk is problematic.
Hexbear.net is banned in China (we share a name with some crypto scam) so you need to use chapo.chat
·1 year agochapo.chat redirects to hexbear. So that wouldn't work either
Chinese reactions to the west encompass one of two possible options
- indifference
- adoration
in China you'll get relatively more of option 1 compared to Korea or Japan or Taiwan
Is the Nazi salute not a simple enough incident to have most reasonable people dismiss him?
I don't know how people that aren't white supremacists have any positive feelings towards this piece of shit. He is a product of apartheid South Africa. He is a racist to his core and a nazi. Completely baffling.
Unfortunately many people in China see him as some kind of visionary genius (he’s an engineer!) who’s going to fix America with his genius optimization plan to weed out inefficiency in the government bureaucracy lol. I’ve even seen people wrote that maybe China should have its own DOGE lmao.
Also his Tesla factory in Shanghai actually pays twice as well in terms of salary and benefits (including medical insurance, pension plans and annual leave) compared to the other Chinese EV competitors, so it’s has quite a reputation there because many people hate the long working hours very commonly found in Chinese factory jobs. Foreign multinational corporations usually pay much better and less demand for overtime work. It’s all relative it seems.
My (shallow) observation is that it's a mix of "wow, cool rocket" tech brain and a kind of technocratic belief that scientists/engineers/entrepreneurs are not just smart but wise. Do you have thoughts on my assessment?
Bullying Chinese musk aupporters is one of the few times it's okay to bully a minority.
They're minorities in the sense that they support musk when they live in China.
