"The world's richest Nazi, Elon Musk, claims hecklers are paid Soros operatives while he literally bribes people to vote for the fascist, far-right candidates of his choosing."

Finally, a real headline.

We should just start saying that everyone on the right is paid off by Elon.

Can you say PROJECTION?

[u/Jasb28]

This is thing, they accuse others of doing awful shit because if the roles were reversed, it's what they'd be doing. Decades of the right ignoring the truth in favour of saying whatever helps 'their side' has left them without any sense of objectivity or self-awareness.

Gullible to trust Musk is not self-aware

Gullible in trusting that Elon Musk isn't using Surkov irony / satire mental exploits, absurd methods of the Kremlin / Russia.

“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Christian Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying Jesus crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

Adam Curtis has a nice video about this, he basically describes it as taking the ideas/feelings of modern art and applying it to politics.

I also endorse it, available here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/31/bbcs_adam_curtis_on_the_contradictory_vaudeville_of_post-modern_politics.html

You could say that no billionaires should have influence over politics, whether they're supporting the left or the right, but apparently that's radical thinking.

[u/chillfem]

This clown is completely detached from reality.

[u/MutaitoSensei]

You know what? Let's start saying "world's richest nazi", that's much more accurate.

[u/PO-43-]

Blame the other side of that of which you are guilty, or something like that. It has been the republicans playbook for a while now.

[u/TheFieldAgent]

He’s not wrong that there are probably organizations, people pouring ‘gas on the fire’ (figuratively speaking). Russia, elites, the media, influencers
