    Haven’t been on Lemmy in a week. Come back, and the top thread on All is about Musk. I’ll never understand the obsession with this cat. His haters appear far more obsessed with him then those who worship him.

      I don’t know, maybe there’s a reason to pay attention to an overt racist who is one of the richest people in the world with his own massive social media platform who uses it to influence politics across the globe?

      Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds like it’s sort of an important thing to pay attention to?

            Jews can be white. Being jewish is a religion. His comment (or the one he supported) is targeted at that religious group. No statement of hatred towards a skin color, specifically. This is potentially antisemitic, perhaps bigotry, but not racist.

            Any other examples? Elon is a douche, but not every douche is a racist.

              Judaism is an ethnicity.

              Both Larry David and I are atheist Jews.

              But please, go on. Tell me how Larry David isn’t Jewish.

                dude honestly you may need a break from the computer. I don’t disagree with you but I remember reading your comments over damn near every thread on lemmy going back like 6 months ago. even though I don’t disagree with your overall points, you just seem to be angry at everyone and everything on lemmy all the time

                You are both Jewish (as far as I know), but that isn’t your ethnicity.

                There are plenty of reasons to shit on your mortal enemy, Elon Musk, but you do not need to make up stuff against him. Call a spade a spade.

                  It’s not our religion. We’re atheists. We have no religion. So if it isn’t our ethnicity, what is it?

                    This is becoming a circular conversation. It’s your religion. Stating otherwise doesn’t change anything. Enjoy your week.
