Whenever I go on those subs I see them always complaining about SpaceX, Tesla, or Elon Musk lol.

Reddit likes him, so they must hate him. And the anti-Musk hatred on negareddit is mostly coming from one particular individual.

Are we not allowed to say who? Was that the removed top comment?

It's /u/Alwaystryagain, alt account of AngryDM

Yeah I know, I was just curious about the [removed] comment. Seen it a few times lately in r/drama, but never used to

The counterjerk is real, it's STEM stuff that reddit typically likes. You could get CB or nega to heil Hitler if reddit had a few postive posts on the front page about him.

They are anti capitalist, also what the other guys said about the counter jerk. That’s literally what the subs are for.

because they are mostly people not accomplishing much in life. Take /u/AlwaysTryAgain, nega's defacto leader. This is a man who makes up stories about having a girlfriend, is highly undereducated, and has 0 interest in ever working. He claims it's society's fault he can't work, when really the fact of the matter is he has 0 drive or ambition, just a victim complex he wants to stoke, whining about society while collecting welfare.

If only society would value the angry white male internet poster...

What was the comment? It got removed and then deleted.

Agreed! Elon does more in a day than those brainlets will ever achieve in their sad, miserable, soy drenched lives.

You can also take /u/combative_douche as an example as he generally has a lust for small Asian boys (allegedly) and uses his mod role to push that agenda

He's not lying about his girlfriend per se, he just fails to mention that shes dead in ditch.

contrarians just for the sake of it.

He's self-made and a potential counter-example to socialist claims. They also don't understand how economics works and think he's stealing from people (lol)

Not quite self-made tbh.

How is he not?

Rich parents?

Poor people should just stop reproducing.

Tru

I fucking hate how people try to make light of his achievements just because he didn't grow up poor. What makes it even worse is that i bet that at least half of the people saying it had as good or even better circumstances than him.

I sure do, nice to know that i have people looking down on me if i make it big.

They hate successful people because they know they'll never be one.

Because the driving force in space exploration and colonization will be the private sector, not the government. Expect lots more REEEEing in the future!

Because they're self hating white people and he is a successful white man

Because they're successful, and the user haven't gotten over that "it's society that fucked me" mentality.

cuz hes an annoying twat

it's the same with ron paul spam/donald spam/bernie spam.

Diff is that politic spam is higher quality and less annoying.

I'll let good ol' Teddy explain.

/9. The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern leftism wc call "feelings of inferiority" and "oversocialization." Peelings of inferiority arc characteristic of modern leftism as a whole, while ovcrsocialization is characteristic only of a certain segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.

Feelings Of Inferiority

/10. By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings in the strictest sense but a whole spectrum of related traits: low self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive ten- dencies, defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modem leftists tend to have such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of modern leftism.

/13. Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals), or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups arc inferior. They would never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems, (Wc do not suggest that women, Indians, etc., are inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology).

/14. Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are M strong as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may not be as strong and as capable as men.

/15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hale white mates, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for haling the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They say they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist Finds excuses for them, or at best he grudgingly admits that they exist; whereas lie enthusiastically points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and the West, lie hales America ami the West because I hey are strong and successful

/16. Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative", "enterprise," "optimism," clc. play litlle role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collcctiv-

Teddy Ruxpin?

I feel like at this point he NEEDS our attention to survive

Whenever I go on those subs

Why?

To see what their bitching about. It’s entertaining and sad at the same time.

If the majority of reddit likes it, they hate it.

Because the only thing that's special about him is his PR skills, and many of the clueless tech obsessives who dominate reddit eat up his stunts and treat him like he's going to save the world with his slightly larger rockets, absurd ideas for public transport and investment in one of the many companies that makes electric cars. He's exactly like Richard Branson 20 years ago, complete with the obsession with space tourism (which is totally worthwhile and not one of the most environmentally damaging things that we could do as a species).
