Someone is shocked that he is a white supremacist? Or are we shocked that there was a post on his white supremacist social network that was white supremacist leaning?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I think this was definitely insanely overt, not that it was ever really hidden before but wowza. That said, he should have been allowed to get to this point because it was pretty fucking obvious beforehand.

Wait, an Afrikaaner is racist? Who knew?

[–] Slashme@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not all of us are racist. Consider Breyten Breytenbach and Bram Fischer and Max du Preez and Ingrid Jonker. But yeah, some Afrikaners are virulently racist.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Considering he is a naturalized US citizen, he's also an African-American immigrant...

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So we're getting Justice for white people now. Like the white woman that they shot in the street and all the poor white people who struggle everyday? I know everyone here on lemmy already knows this but they aren't for white supremacy. They are for rich supremacy. They're just going to try and use a bunch of racists to achieve that.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Man how can you be the richest person on the planet and say this shit with a straight face like, you won bro, shut the fuck up already.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

These are deeply weird, broken people. I don’t think they will ever be satisfied.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a deeply weird broke person.

I may be living paycheck to paycheck but I see the inherent value in my fellow human beings without linking it to economic value.

This makes me happier than the richest man in recorded history.

I love living in a multicultural environment. Often I look at the people at my work and think, "This is the fulfillment of the dream that MLK Jr spoke about." Diverse people, adults and children alike, learning from each other and caring about each other across different colors and ethnic origins. Sometimes we straight-up celebrate it, like by having "flag days" where we're encouraged to bring food or dress up in the colors of our historical countries of origin. I see people wearing sports jerseys or hats from Jamaica, Ecuador, Trinidad, Liberia, Poland, Italy, India, Nigeria, and more. It's so cool, it's hard to imagine that some people would foam at the mouth over such multicultural celebration.

I mean, I certainly know racists, so I know it happens. But in my heart of hearts, I just don't get it. Different voices and perspectives are invaluable to a society. The country I live in may be falling to fascism, but at least my little bubble at work (which explicitly continues to follow DEI initiatives) gets it. We're a microcosm of the world, and it's beautiful.

He won therefore he thinks he knows it all and has to share the path to success with the rest of us.

Garbage man who profited off of apartheid.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

He is a garbage man 100%. But being pedantic for a moment: the emerald mine his father owned half of for 6 years was not in an apartied state. The labour was not traditional undergrouns mining, it was a protrusion outcropping where you just chip the emeralds off.

The guy that gave a Hitler salute? That guy?

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

what does survival really mean? is someone hurting them?

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They believe that yes. In multiple ways, like they think white being are being genocided in some parts of the world and they also believe any sort of interracial marriage or sex that leads to non white babies is a threat too.

Completely delusional stuff

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A friend told me this white South African couple friends of hers refused to have any kids because they both have black ancestors and were afraid to get black babies.

[–] MonkeyTown@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

Honestly, that’s probably for the best. Don’t need more people like that, and if they feel strongly enough to take such drastic measures, they absolutely would have passed on that mindset.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

They must have learned that all humans originated from Africa.

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Having their inbred genes being mixed with other races.

Twitter/X=Stormfront 2.0

Everyone needs to DITCH this Nazi site! #DeleteTwitter

[–] budakai@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canada really needs to just nuke twitter off our internet. Nothing good will come of it. Just finish the renaming transition from Twitter to X to Volksicher Beobachter.

Musk is a white supremacist

Fork found in kitchen

This is the 'replacement theory' that the whackjobs espouse right?

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Is he afraid to be treated the same as he has treated all those other minorities for decades?

Why would it matter if the Caucasian race dies out? It doesn't change anything about humanity.

You would only think that if you contributed so little to society that you think the color of your skin is something important.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Best part is that officially, he's African-American, which according to everything you hear from Faux News means he must be black as shit

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

NOT a Nazi salute! /s

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Honestly the sooner every race blends into a beige paste the better. Then we can have world wars about other even stupider things like what specific flavor of religion you folow… oh wait.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered.

The Zionazi minority survives just fine. That Musk allies with them helps with Zionist first rule over us. Not long ago, we praised multicultural society as a strength, that welcomed more immigrants to enter at bottom of class pyramid. A great benefit to business and oligarchy alike. Naturalize immigrants with citizenship status seem to have the strongest views against other immigrants.

While I agree that wearing a dress or identifying as a race should not be a job qualification, our laws, constitution, principles generally protect survival on the basis of race, including the white one. Replacement theory is essentially hate/criminalizing people for choosing to have a baby, accusing them of voting for future healthcare.

Musk, the most oligarchist of all lizard people, telling you to vote for the most oligarchist fascist party because that party loves white people is a lie, because that party loves oligarchy more. Freedom from fascist oligarchy is not anti-white. There are 1000s of reasons to hate fascist oligarchist supremacy other than the fake sales job that if you don't support it, the black panthers with Shaft will revive to kill us all.

[–] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's called projection. They believe other groups will genocide the white people just like how they genocided the native American and Australian population.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

The irony of joining team genocide is that self defense means you deserve to be genocided. Racist genocide will increase racial tensions by design, and pet eating accusations are a tool even if stories debunked, and then masked non-uniformed fascist thugs scaring away then killing a white mom dropping off kid at school is a small price to pay to support further escalation to genociding the right people.

The bigger picture for politicians is team white/team Christian is performative for capturing support for team zionist oligarchy

Yeah and? White supremacist says racist things is hardly news. The only difference is that he's a billionaire, those too should not exist

Not sure why Nazi is banned on the same parts of the world that don't ban Tesla cars.

Son of a South African emerald mine tycoon, AFAIK family moved to Canada in his youth, then he moved to the US.

I feel bad for any non-white employee of SpaceX, Starlink etc. who feels they cannot quit due to living expenses. If I were in their shoes and could get another job, I'd be leaving ASAP.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And he lied on his US visa application.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Illegal immigrants amirite?

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

His mother is Canadian.

He later moved to Canada when he was old enough to leave and then other family members followed to NA later.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

His mother's from Alberta. He's canadian because of that. He went to college at Queens first.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea most of the world's worst people and companies are Canadian. We're good at making evil people. We're also good at other things but our capitalists are far more evil than Americans.

Americans just take, Canadians take while promising the world then go supprised Pikachu when everyone gets fucked.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 week ago

I noticed some of the worst shameless YouTubers are Canadian, too. What’s up with that, eh?

One thing I've never understood, is why the fuck do people care about stuff like "white solidarity"...

Why does someone care if their great-great-great-great-grandchild wont be white anymore because someone along the way married and had a kid with someone who wasn't white when they are long dead?

It's doesn't matter at all if 1000 years from now wether or not 100% of humans are white, black, or somewhere in between.
