"Journalist" tries to assemble slanderous harassment claims after an Elongated Muskrat insinuates certain (((people))) are in charge of running the Media

95  2018-05-28 by LaFemmeMacabre

The tweet that started the ball rolling:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1000560049389907969

In response to this inference (since he actually DID say who), journalist who describes herself as "Science Writer -- BBC, Scientific American, PopSci, WIRED, Adam Savage's Tested and others. Fact Checker." decides to tweet out a request for "harassment from Elon Musk fans" and to send her "your most horrific tweets and messages":

Elon Musk is not wrong, but the truth chaps many an asscheek.

What? Are people claiming he said Jews own the press?

Come the fuck on, the guy is a moron but it doesn't seem like he was talking about Jews.

Who was he talking about then?

Women?

"" is a dogwhistle to the alt-rights ()

I don't know who the fuck he was talking about, but claiming Jews seems like a leap.

Jewish people are involved in the media because of a culture of prioritizing education and writing compared to all the other hicks who were settling America, it's an American success story. Same reason so many were involved in the entertainment industry.

Many were involved in Communism, even more pronounced in California with the German settlers until they were kicked out because Commies are racist.

I'm pretty sure Elon's dad was a racist who kicked Black people out right?

Elon hates his dad immeasurably

Pennsylvania Dutch and Jews have a long history, they excluded all jews from one of their towns originally, Aaronsburg is actually the first city to be created/named after a Jew and a Pennsylvania Jew and a Muslim were the ones who petitioned for the Constitution requiring office holders to be New Testament upholders to be removed.

???

I just want to share facts about Jews okay, learn some history heathen.

My dick knows enough about Jewish customs broski, I'm Gucci.

wait let me tell you about fraktur and quilts

a culture of prioritizing education magically gives 1% of the population 99% of the positions in charge of the media and government lobbies and financial institutions

financial institutions

Well yea when you've been handling money for literally 4000 years more then other people that tends to happen, same with having a government and you know being responsible for the most read book on the planet ever

shouldnt you be asking why the same families are still in control of it after 4000 years

or why those families dont appear on any worlds richest people lists, that coincidentally dont list dictators, people who stole their wealth, or royalty

also jews arent the same people as described in the bible

judeans arent the same thing as jews, the 12 tribes of judah does not include ashkenazis

Jews are literally responsible for ushering in a new era of banking by shaving off the edges of coins

typical right

Sweaty! Pls keep that tin foil hat nice and tight. You don't wanna lose that now do you?

cmon man the overton windows shifted too much to pretend jews controlling stuff is controversial or a conspiracy now lol

even elon musk implied it right

why do you think people dont like the media and hollywood

oy vey

the goyim know

it's too late to shut it down

definitely nothing to do with nepotism

Jews are involved in media, because media are too big of a business to pass up, and the couple richest people/families in the world are Jewish.

Whether the correlation between being the wealthiest of the wealthy, and the Jewish background is accidental or there's something else to it - that's beyond me. But you don't become one of the richest by passing up a market like that. No need for any ideological or political motivations.

(and no, not trying to generalize; simply from the

If you read the context of the tweet you would see he is talking about powerful people, but that would require some level of intelligence which you obviously lack.

I assumed that's what he meant, I never said he implied Jews, my illiterate friend.

Nor did I you moron.

You seem to be very aggressive for a low IQ Trumptard.

Oh noes I'm aggressive! How will I ever overcome this insult?

Well you're aggressive and you're not very smart. It's not a good combo.

You're a pathetic loser who spends all of his time yelling at retards on the internet. What part of that is intelligent exactly?

Every single aspect of it.

I'm glad you enjoyed my entirely serious Trumpism.

merely pretending to be retarded

It's more that I knew you degenerates would appreciate sperging out over it. Glad to make you happy.

He didn't mean that but it sounded that way, ita unfortunate.

Someone writes some classic left wing screed about journalists speaking truth to the powerful.

Musk replied by asking who they think owns the press - ie. ‘the powerful’. Tbh the reverse /ourguy/ cringe is equally bad. Like Trump, a lot of his friends are Jewish, as are a bunch of people in senior management and on the boards of his companies.

stars are an emphasis, same way as they do italics here

its old forum shit, hes old

Do you think it's in the interest of powerful people to A: support a free press that exposes their lies, or B: tear it down so their lies are easier to tell? Now ask yourself why the polls would look bad. The powerful people the previous "journalist" was talking about

lamo thanks I read that but it was so retarded I didn't feel the need to make fun of it.

I don't actually think Jews, Women or Old Rich Guys run the media since you have autism

Well yeah women can only run the kitchen

Of course he wasn't, but since Musk has shown to interact with people of a more conservative persuasion lately:

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/elon-musk-is-all-in-on-donald-trump/515562/

...then bottom feeders like this cunt will use any modicum of "can-be-maliciously-construed" blurb or quip that can sully his name or reputation. Since the flavor of the week is either A)Sexual harasser /predator or B)Anti-Semite, she seems to be picking the latter one for some reason...can't imagine why though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol at calling him anti science when he owns a space rocket company

lol at calling Exxon anti science when they own a big chunk of the oil industry

theyre not anti science though, they engage in science constantly

i think you meant to say they arent environmentalists

"science" isnt just some thing that agrees with progressives lol, its finding out how things work with zero regard to anyone elses feelings

the guy is a moron

You love telling billionaires they are morons. How does that make you feel knowing these morons are so much wealthier and respected than you are?

Trump is for sure a moron, Musk is probably more so:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmentalization_(psychology)

You should probably look up how he got rich and what he does for his day job

Who? Musk? I don't care enough.

Ah, gotcha

Musk definitely isn’t a moron, but the idea that people wealthier and more respected than you can’t be absolute tards is dumb.

Did I say that?

You sure were sucking his dick pretty hard.

Isn't that Reddit state religion?

Reddit seems to be pretty divided now that more people are W👁KE enough

Conservative Muskism and Reformed Muskism.

It's more like Muskism and Anti-Muskism. No in betweeners as far as i can tell

Behead those who offend Musk

ELONGATED MUSKRATS OUT OUT OUT 👉👉👉

A-grade liberal logic

LIBTARD OWNED LE EPIC STYLE XD

Liberal logic.

Careful, you'll summon /u/gmscreamingmemes.

That ancient king who had the sea whipped was wealthy and respected. So was the queen that fucked a horse. What's your point?

You do see why comparing a modern billionaire to hereditary royalty isn't really a thing?

I didn't compare billionaires to hereditary royalty. You were suggesting that rich/respected and moron were somehow incompatible, so I gave you examples of objectively moronic people who were rich and respected. If you think that's not perfectly logical then.. at least you can still be rich and respected.

That’s not what he said at all. Anyway, can we get back to this?

You do see why comparing a modern billionaire to hereditary royalty isn't really a thing?

Even if he was, you are so stupid that you managed to pick the worst possible type of example you could.

That’s not what he said at all.

Then what did he say?

you are so stupid that you managed to pick the worst possible type of example you could.

You say that, but are you going to actually explain why rich people who did incredibly moronic things are bad examples of why you can very easily be rich and respected and still be a moron? I'd love to hear it.

The examples aren't directly comparable to Trump or Musk, because they don't have to be to make the point. If your response is to say "but Trump isn't just rich/respected, he also..." then you've just proven my point.

Is this guy for real? Lmao

are you going to actually explain why rich people who did incredibly moronic things are bad examples to show that you can very easily be rich and respected and still be a moron? I'd love to hear it.

:(

I didn't think you'd be able to.

I think I’d you re read this thread enough times you’ll eventually realize why that’s an irrelevant question and that you should have paid more attention in English class.

Or, I won't and you'll still be a moron?

Maybe if you come up with an even more creative way of simply saying "no, I'm right you're wrong and stupid," it'll actually make it true this time.

Im not saying “I’m right and you’re wrong” I’m saying “you’re talking about something he wasn’t and are going on an autistic rampage instead of realizing that”. Like seriously you’re too dumb to realize that and you think calling me a moron will insult me? Lmao

Damn. Maybe third time lucky?

Idk but I’m rooting for you man.

It’s up to me whether it’s third time lucky for you trying to make yourself less wrong by claiming you’re right in creative ways? Okay 🤨

Sorry, not sure why I suddenly expected you to get a handle on reading. You’re such a broke and bitter NEET lol take a few breaths then read again. Then take a step back and think about how you’re getting yourself this worked up about what was simple banter.

Damn. No third time lucky.

Is this like a homework question or something? I don’t know why you’re so desperate for an answer to an irrelevant question.

I’m not.

Sure you say that but you’ve spent how many comments now talking about your irrelevant question?

0

Lol like you even believe that. The only real question behind the count is if this comment adds another to it. I think you know you lost the argument and are resorting to grade school last word wins at this point.

Damn. Four unsuccessful attempts now.

Last word.

Are we talking about you re-reading the thread trying to understand the point? Pretty sure if you’re still sperging out about me your count is off.

Anyway what are you going for here? Do you not realize I’m just wondering how far you’ll sperg out instead of admitting you’re wrong? You just keep going lol. Last word btw

Damn. Five unsuccessful attempts now.

I think you’re still off. Been struggling since 3.

Lol so thirsty for the last word. I get it though, you’re an autistwho can’t handle being wrong so you need to walk away with what, to an autist, may be considered a “win”.

If you ask nicely you can just have it. Last word.

less inbreeding usually

At least royalty generally only eyed up their cousins.

Both of those stories aren't true. Caligula declaring war on neptune is of dubious validity and Catherine the Great did not die while copulating with a horse.

Your point still stands, but could have chosen less retarded examples.

Caligula declaring war on neptune is of dubious validity

It wasn't Caligula, it was Xerxes per Herodotus.

Catherine the Great did not die while copulating with a horse.

I didn't say she died. It's verified that she died alone, but there were still widespread rumors in Russia that she fucked horses. And if I can't spread misogynistic Russian rumors then what is this sub even for?

per Herodotus

lmao greek bullshit merchant

How surprising the guy who is dumb enough to believe Russian peasant slander doesn't understand ancient Persian culture and calls everything he doesn't understand dumb

How brave of you to defend powerful female/poc figures of history from vile misogyny and white Hellenic racism. We need more people like you in /r/drama.

Herodotus said there was Dogheaded people in Libya along with headless men lmao

He didn't though. He said some people looked for them and claimed to have found them.

lmao imagine thinking a 500bc Greek has anything to do with Elon Musk what a retard.

Imagine getting so upset about somebody picking a humorous historical example to demonstrate the already obvious point that wealthy people can be morons. “But it’s old and only an allegation based on second-hand accounts!!!” Kind of embarrassing :/

Kind of embarrassing :/

Almost as embarrassing as comparing Elon Musk to Xerxes and Catherine the Great

Wealthy people can be morons

You are actually unironcally posting the same thing Pizzashill did, it's time to stop for your own safety wow

Except I wasn’t comparing them.

You’re digging deeper :/

Dude your examples of dumb wealthy people is someone only a dumb person who knows literally nothing about their lives would pick.

I know you've already played the "I'm not retarded just pretending" what's next posting the sidebar rofl

My examples is someone? Keep shovelling.

Herodotus is widely considered generally reliable. The Africans have black cum etc parts are well-known but not representative.

Herodotus is widely considered generally reliable.

Except for everyone who lived within 2000 years of him who thought he was totally full of shit. Plus the fact that his work is a strange mix of a story about the Persians' wars in Anatolia and Greece, internal Persian politics (confirmed by the Behistun inscription), and a hell of a lot of geographical data about everywhere from Libya to Russia that's squeezed in with no regard to the narrative. If one were suspicious they might almost suspect it wasn't written by one man... 🤔🤔🤔

He was considered mostly reliable by most historians from his period onwards. I don’t really know where you’re getting a different impression. The fact that he diverges from the main narrative doesn’t make the information any less reliable.

If one were suspicious they might almost suspect it wasn't written by one man... 🤔🤔🤔

The entire text is written in a consistent characteristic style and there’s plenty of contemporary reference to the individual and his work. This is a pretty bizarre conspiracy theory, especially based on the simple fact that the scope of the text is eclectic at times.

Also, Aechemenid politics and an explanation of the Greco-Persian wars isn’t a ‘strange mix’... it’s about as logical a mix as you can get.

The entire text is written in a consistent characteristic style

The part where he just pauses the narrative and goes through a listing of every tribe in Libya in geographical order doesn't seem at all out of place to you? Or the part where he just pauses the narrative and goes through a listing of every tribe in Russia in geographical order? You don't get the slightest inkling of suspicion that it came from an earlier work of geography?

I'm not making this up. I can't remember if I got it from the Suda or where, and I'm not gonna look it up just for an r/drama shitpost, but this was common knowledge in the pre-modern era. Besides the change in style that's totally obvious to anyone who isn't a total fucking moron, there's some dude back in the late Roman era who said he had a copy of the old geographical work and a copy of Herodotus and they were the same.

This is a pretty bizarre conspiracy theory

Let me guess, you're one of those guys who thinks that when Xenophon said that if you want to know about Xenophon, you should read a book about him written by some other guy, but really that book was written by Xenophon, but he pretended it wasn't, because he wanted to his catamite to get the credit for it. And anyone who is skeptical of that is pushing a conspiracy theory.

The part where he just pauses the narrative and goes through a listing of every tribe in Libya in geographical order doesn't seem at all out of place to you?

It’s out of place by the standardsa modern professional text, but that doesn’t make it suspicious. Fiction writers do the exact same thing all the time, they tangentially meet a part of their world and give lots of information about it. Herodotus just does the same thing, because he was still very much a storyteller.

You don't get the slightest inkling of suspicion that it came from an earlier work of geography?

No, because it’s clearly in his characteristic style, and even if it wasn’t so obvious that it was jumping to plagiarism as the answer whenever a writer can’t hold a narrative is ridiculous.

I'm not making this up. I can't remember if I got it from the Suda or where, and I'm not gonna look it up

There’s an old argument that Herodotus must have plagiarised, but it’s never had any credibility. And the argument for it has never been “he can’t hold a coherent narrative.”

Besides the change in style that's totally obvious to anyone who isn't a total fucking moron

What a compelling argument.

Let me guess, you're one of those guys who thinks that when Xenophon said that if you want to know about Xenophon, you should read a book about him written by some other guy, but really that book was written by Xenophon, but he pretended it wasn't, because he wanted to his catamite to get the credit for it. And anyone who is skeptical of that is pushing a conspiracy theory.

I have no idea what you’re attempting to say here. What I know is that your accusation is bizarre, based on strange “suspicion” instead of any real evidence, and completely unsupported by mainstream historians. Essentially a conspiracy theory.

“My son [Xerxes], with all the fiery pride of youth, hath quickened their arrival, while he hoped to bind the sacred Hellespont, to hold the raging Bosphorus, like a slave, in chains, and dared the advent’rous passage, bridging firm with links of solid iron his wondrous way.” – Aeschylus, The Persians, circa. 472 B.C.

Imagine how dumb you have to be to call someone dumb because you are too dumb to understand ancient history.

Imagine believing Herodotus over Persian historians, no wonder you believe slander about Catherine the Great.

sucking up this hard to billionaires

Sorry pal, they ain't gonna fuck you and give you some side hustle dough.

funny how sensitive they are huh

"powerful people want to destroy the press!"

"what? powerful people own the press!"

"omg hes talking about jews!"

like skipped a few steps there

Nah they are just anti semitic themselves.

Nah they are just anti semitic themselves.

Just check the chapo about the tweet, They were definitely in Elon is the new hilter mode

It doesn't matter whether he says it, people's minds are going to go there because it's the truth.

Hush. He's not a moron, just misguided. But he's getting better, extend a hand and help him.

Probably he wasn’t, but all the Nazis of Twitter thought he was and are running with it, and he’s not correcting them.

I'd also argue that literally HUNDREDS of tweets into my mentions is a form of harassment

What does she think Twitter is, exactly?

A vehicle to harrass the marginalize

Hey, fucking scumbag, can you please stop harassing u/MtheDowner by replying to him? It's people like you that have ruined society, the rapists, the murderers, the people to reply to others.

Muh mentions

Is he /pol/s ourguy now?

One pill does not make you /pol/. Give it a little time for the loony left to push him all the way.

Yeah, he's in recovery. On the right track but still not there. We're waiting with extended hands.

Donald “Make Israel Great Again” Trump was their greatest /ourguy/ ever so I don’t think their perception of other people’s opinions is too strong.

Us, apparently

Obviously not a what he meant, try again nerd

Don't be one of those dumb-dumbs who's intentionally misinterpreting his words so you can have The Hottest Take, please.

Funny how the anti semitism / racist watch dog Twitter accounts only seem to go after whoever the lefties don't like.

One of her examples was a dude literally just calling her an idiot. Holy shit how will these strong women survive this harassment?

Lmao, those three pieces of bants she shared are even more weak sauce than I imagined. She even felt the need to share a capped tweet from totally real person @Username1285293 as permanent evidence of her grievous harassment. 2018 is the most dangerous year yet to be a journalist in America without a doubt.

real drama is in the comments of this post :)

inference

you meant implication btw
