I’m not arguing the circumstantial evidence isn’t compelling. And as a talking point, it’s a good one. But as an argument made in good faith, I think one needs direct attribution to be able to say what something “plans.”

Lol we need their own words to confirm it. But Musk lies about everything. His new words aren't compelling evidence. Look at his previous actions.

We need something. I asked if there was a hot mic because those two have a tendency to get recorded saying stupid things. It coud also be an e-mail, a memo, a recollection by a friend or former colleague, et cetera.

In the absence of evidence, it's much simpler to conclude that at least Musk is just sexist versus trying "to make women afraid to participate in public life."

When this poster says "we", they actually mean: "me and other ostriches with their heads in the sand"

I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at your comments. You expect every bad actor to make a public statement about their vile plans? Sure our president does it, but he's especially stupid.

Okay.

> You expect every bad actor to make a public statement about their vile plans?

Neither Musk nor Miller have exhibited a tremendous amount of discipline in this department.

I don’t expect them to say this. But I do expect someone arguing in good faith to distinguish between plans and effects, particularly when we’re turning what looks like garden-variety sexism into a political theory.

Musk and Miller are both open fascists, and I don't feel the need to do the work for you to build a political theory around this fact.

Not being debated here.

OP claimed Musk and Miller aim "to make women afraid to participate in public life."
