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

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.
1 pizzashill 2018-05-28
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.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2018-05-28
Who was he talking about then?
Women?

I don't know who the fuck he was talking about, but claiming Jews seems like a leap.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2018-05-28
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.

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
1 captainpriapism 2018-05-28
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 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.

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.

1 cimarafa 2018-05-28
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.

1 Chicup 2018-05-28
You do see why comparing a modern billionaire to hereditary royalty isn't really a thing?
1 Curlgradphi 2018-05-28
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.
1 Namenamenamenamena 2018-05-28
That’s not what he said at all. Anyway, can we get back to this?
Even if he was, you are so stupid that you managed to pick the worst possible type of example you could.
1 Curlgradphi 2018-05-28
Then what did he say?
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.

1 Curlgradphi 2018-05-28
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.
1 Namenamenamenamena 2018-05-28
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

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

Herodotus is widely considered generally reliable. The Africans have black cum etc parts are well-known but not representative.
1 Redactor0 2018-05-28
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... 🤔🤔🤔
1 Curlgradphi 2018-05-28
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.
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.
1 Redactor0 2018-05-28
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.
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.
1 Curlgradphi 2018-05-28
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.
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.
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.”
What a compelling argument.
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.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2018-05-28

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.
