In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
I started hating him when he accused a guy of being a pedophile because he heroically rescued some trapped children before him, and I have only been proved more and more correct with each passing day

The guy is spreading nonstop lies and conspiracy theories to millions of people in order to sow chaos and division, is using his money to buy political influence which he’ll use to further expand his already worrying power, and has started an illegal lottery in order to coax people into voting for an authorian who will destabilize US democracy and the West at large. And you’re surprised some people would take issue with that?
Can’t speak for others but i absolutely despise Bezos. The reason he doesn’t trigger as much seems obvious though. He’s just not as in your face with his personal opinions as Musk and doesn’t share fake news on his personal account, which makes the manipulation much more obvious and tied to the person compared to operating from the background.
For me it's the racism, bigotry, lies, conspitorial bullshit, his evil anti union way of doing business, the immoral greed and then buying one of the biggest social media platforms to advertise all that and turn it into a bot infested far right wing hellscape in an attempt to radicalise the middle, in terms of acceptable discourse.
I also hate bezos for his avarice and evil anti union way of doing business, but he is smart enough to lay low.
How do you feel about him?
How does everyone take this bait 
Have you read the Manufacture of Consent by Herman and Chomsky?
His predictive model is unfortunately phenomenally accurate with respect to recent events. I search for the term "Israeli Genocide" every day and find it in publication outside Europe and North America. This is what that model predicts. Chomsky used a different example. The East Timor genocide which the US also supported and the exact same result.
Assume free press, and assume threshold for genocide (minimally for ethnic cleansing) has been passed, you also, then, assume an asymmetric level of reports (media) which bear upon this fact. As you may well know South Africa has just filed a five thousand page document of evidence for genocide against the Israeli state at the ICJ. It was scarcely even covered in the Western press.
Now, if the question is: are Western press institutions more free than North Korea (Russia is a useless conflation here), then the answer is yes. But if the question is whether they subsume ruling class ideologies and toe the editorial line qua their own states' geopolitical interests, typically foreign, then the proof, not merely "answer", is without a doubt.
Which derails this thread a fair bit but of all the threads in the CE this is arguably one of shittier ones going.
Edit:
"BBC, NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBS, Reuters, AP, FT, WSJ"
Only Reuters and Associated Press garner even a hint of respect from me, the rest is absolute garbage. And these two because they are fundamentally of the last century in ticker tape news update stylings (stories over the wire would break via Routers or AP and journalists would pick up on them).
why would he be fecked after the election? why not now? they're already in power
feckall is gonna happen to him, just like feckall has happened to him already because he's worth a hundred billion
Bezos is a cnut.
Oh goodie, the Norwegian Trumper is back
Someone outing themselves as an arsehole isn’t bait.How does everyone take this bait
Just seems like every now and then someone comes in here with a drive by throwaway comment just to feck everyone over.
I enjoy reading it mind you.
Oh goodie, the Norwegian Trumper is back
I wonder if he’s the one who wrote the vacuous opinion piece on Dagbladet today
I often wonder this, people set out to find stuff and then complain when they do.How does everyone take this bait
My X feed is mainly football, cars and video game related, I generally don't see anything he posts, as I don't really care unless it's something Tesla or Space X are up to.
Or the one on Nrk.
No I meant taking the bait of random posters who show up to post. What's wrong with Elon Musk.
I definitely understand the hatred for Elon Musk. May he step on lego's while bumping his pinky toe on a coffee table for all eternity.
I haven't seen that one yet, I mostly try to avoid DB
I'll look it up thoughBut I did read this one, and as you'd expect it was a steaming pile of shit! Might fit the bill

I read the start, and then I realized I've heard the exact same arguments from dumb people online a thousand times, so I stopped. Of course he was an economy student. Probably subscribes to a pickup artist on Patreon as well.
Good call!
His anti labor union stance is a big reason to outside of bending over to Trump

I mixed them up, I meant the one about the dude going «Yes I support Trump, what’s the problem?"
I find it mind-blowing that national news sites will publish such poorly written, superficial, and ill-informed opinion pieces.
can't speak for anyone else but he's clearly a massive twat
Ah yes.
It was this twat right here, https://x.com/realnickradan?s=21

Bezos must absolutely love all this with Musk.
Talk about having the perfect idiot running interference for you.

I guess there must be many people piggy-backing off his well-established name.
And of course he’s a Peterson fan. There must be a starter-kit for all these cnuts.
"Economy" in what sense? Norwegians are spectacularly bad about differentiating economics and business and administration. Neither would be a big shock, but I would certainly guess the latter.
Spend 30 seconds on his X account and it's easy to see why anyone who isn't a brain rotted MAGA cultist will hate his guts
Who ironically is a migrant himself.Oh goodie, the Norwegian Trumper is back
And the weirdness of wondering why people who hate Musk don't hate Bensos, one of the most hated people in the world, is next level.
Oh almost certianly, but I didn’t care enough to check at the time and I don't care enough to find out now.
I really do hope that if Harris wins, Musk starts seeing some of his government contracts go bye bye!
With all the lies and misinformation spread by Musk, the US Government would be better off looking towards companies with more stable leadership for their rocket launches or satellite internet.
Or is Elon that embedded into the Pentagon and NASA that they are wedded to him?

why would Harris winning change anything?
I dunno... maybe the openly backing a certain right wing nazi wannabe president or maybe the open calls with Putin or.... I dunno, just him being an absolute feck knuckle of a human being should be genuinely enough.
but he's been doing all this for years with the dems in charge
what's gonna change was my question not what has he done
Musk is important to the Pentagon.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Already a Leader in Satellites, Gets Into the Spy Game
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/us/politics/spacex-spy-satellites-elon-musk.html
I’m with you that nothing’s gonna come of it because obscene wealth takes you particularly far in the US, SpaceX makes him very useful of the government, and he’s a petulant man-child they’d worry about upsetting.
But what’s different is him. He is acting noticeably different in this election wave, openly talking about Harris not even being worth murdering, actively promoting the opposition, etc. The Dems can’t do anything about that now as it would be politically toxic. They’d have more political capital to do it after winning the election, once things have calmed down. But the Dems love big business so they wouldn’t go near it.
Has he? I feel like his turn to "Dark MAGA" has only happened in the last year. With that came the lies and disinformation.
If Harris wins, my hope is she begins gradually divesting the government from any reliance on Musk.
he's been pro-trump for years, that's what I was replying to
