FakeGreekGirl,

I mean, clearly she did her research for that movie.

FakeGreekGirl,

What do you think they are? Teslas?

FakeGreekGirl,

Oh no!

Anyway…

FakeGreekGirl,

You’re not helping your case that you’re not a Nazi with that one, you know.

FakeGreekGirl,

You’re not defending Jews, you’re defending Israel. More specifically, you’re defending Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. And you’re using ableist slurs to do it, so nice job.

FakeGreekGirl,

Or like they do with right wing thugs, like the ones that attacked protestors at UCLA.

FakeGreekGirl,

OK, but what the hell was it actually?

FakeGreekGirl,

They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can’t actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world’s biggest douchebag.

It’s the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he’s doing.

FakeGreekGirl,

Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don’t mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn’t really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

Still, it is food for thought.

FakeGreekGirl,

Are we talking just contemporary people? Because John Brown, as a historical figure, is a great inspiration for me.

FakeGreekGirl,

I mean, for me, it means both. I’m a big believer in FDR’s concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

FakeGreekGirl, (edited )

Personally, I kinda roll Freedom of Expression into Freedom of Speech. Because any form of expression is essentially speech, even if it doesn’t use words to speak.

FakeGreekGirl,

I would disagree. How you dress, how you present, how you act, these are all things that speak without words. I would call those speech.

Truthfully, though, if I were coining the phrase, I would have said “freedom of expression” and “freedom of thought” instead of “freedom of speech” and “freedom of worship”. Both of those are broader categories that encapsulate the concepts FDR articulated. After all, what is worship but conceptualizing the deep thoughts about where the universe came from, and finding a community of like minded folks?

FakeGreekGirl,

Unfortunately, you are far too right about far too many people.

FakeGreekGirl,

Yeah, most people in history say amazing things and then turn out to be fucking monsters. Especially in American history.

But just because they’re awful fucking hypocrites doesn’t mean what they said has no value.

FakeGreekGirl,

Who’s trying to take that right away?

FakeGreekGirl,

Who’s doing that?

FakeGreekGirl, (edited )

So all of the groups in the comic have actual legislators passing laws against their ability to express themselves and control their own bodies and relationships, and you’re mad some moderator of some online community somewhere told you to go be an asshole somewhere else.

Touch grass.

FakeGreekGirl,

No, you’re not against bigots and fascist assholes. You’re just trying to coopt that language and try to draw a parallel between community moderators moderating their community and bigoted, fascist assholes literally oppressing people. I wasn’t born yesterday.
