This is the Tweet Elon replied to:

"Okay.

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.

You want truth said to your face, there it is."

>Elon tweeted it was "the truth." I dare you to find an "uncomfortable narrative smashing truth" in that.

That is the truth. That is 100% an uncomfortable narrative smashing truth.

Not true: "Feminizing effect of phytoestrogens and soy products may be subtle, detectable only statistically in large populations; it can be of particular importance for children and adolescents." [0]

Jury is still out on soy. If you've had to deal with the latest league of junior devs, it makes sense why they're called "soydevs."

The last thing American males need is more soy.
>It's not the best deal for us, though, since they're not part of our tax base, nor are they growing families and social networks here for us to benefit from.

It's a fantastic deal for us because they're not immigrating here and therefore driving prices of housing, social services, etc. to the unsustainable levels we're seeing now. Outsourcing over the past decades has been a huge boon for the US. They're generating value for US companies and we're able to take advantage of that. The US needs to grow its own families and social networks organically. Every country should.

>but the one thing it doesn't do is optimize for the interests of America.

Generating wealth for US companies and providing stability to their home countries is a win/win. This is optimal for US interests.

You're getting down voted for this heterodox opinion. They want to flood the West with foreigners. Any other opinion is heresy.
Let me rephrase since my original reply got [flagged].

>So...transphobia

Stating biological facts and reality doesn't mean something that shatters the narrative is "transphobic". Men (male humans) cannot get pregnant.

>Islamophobia

Being against a religion that stones "adulterous" rape victims, executes gays by throwing them off the roof, and beheads those who dare insult their religion isn't a phobia of any kind, it's common sense.

>anti-black racism

Objective sociological facts are not racism.

>In other words, you just want to be able to be every kind of bigot and never suffer consequences for it.

Translation: "These are uncomfortable narrative shattering facts designed to tell the unadulterated truth that are heretical, so I'd rather pretend like they don't have any value, use fascism, ad hominem, and Gestapo-level tactics to quell social opponents and heretics."

>Thanks for highlighting exactly what people actually mean when they initially try to talk about it with vague accusations of “most things classified as hate speech are actually harmless

Glad to be of assistance. Just because you feel objectively true narrative shattering facts are harmful doesn't mean they are. Not everyone is as thin-skinned, weak, and intolerant as you.

>doing so in the exact manner I had said you would

What exact manner, stating uncomfortable narrative shattering facts that overlords don't want anyone to see? I agree! I stated uncomfortable truth, facts, and reality that must be banned by those steeped in wokeism.

>complete with sock puppet accounts along the way.

None of those other posters are me. Hilarious how anyone who disagrees with you must be using sock puppets. It's a delusional take, which isn't surprising coming from someone who thinks men can get pregnant.

Since my original reply got [flagged] let me rephrase:

>So absolutely nothing of any value and just a bunch of made up bullshit designed to target people based on their race, religion, sexuality and gender because you’re an ignorant and insecure dipshit who is too scared to attach their own name to it?

Translation: "So uncomfortable narrative shattering facts designed to tell the unadulterated truth are heretical so I'd rather pretend like they don't have any value, use ad hominem, and Gestapo-level tactics to quell social opponents and heretics."

Just because certain truths and facts are uncomfortable doesn't mean the aforementioned quotes are "made up bullshit" nor "hate speech." They are facts. Uncomfortable, narrative shattering heretical facts, but facts nonetheless.

>I think T-Mobile not allowing you to spam this nonsense to people is something everyone is ok with.

You may be too young to remember, but this is the exact line of reasoning conservatives used in the 90s to pressure companies to not support LGBTQ, atheism, foul language in music, etc.

>Really it’s a very specific kind of moron who will absolutely insist that the real secrets in life are all predicated around people who have a different skin color or religion are the real problem and will then quote evidence to you that doesn’t hold up to even the most gentle scrutiny all while they insist that they are the smartest person in the room.

You legitimately could be talking about SJW/the woke and everything you said applies.

Affirmative Action != DEI

These are different terms for different concepts, even if there's some overlap.

Just because you have an allergic reaction to the truth and facts doesn't mean the aforementioned quotes are "made up bullshit" nor "hate speech." They are facts. Uncomfortable, narrative shattering heretical facts, but facts nonetheless.

This is a hilarious /r/SelfAwarewolves post. You legitimately could be talking about SJW/the woke and everything you said applies 100% LOL!

>Want to post some examples of things that are generally classified as hate speech that you think shouldn’t be?

"Men cannot get pregnant"

"Islamic immigration is incompatible with Western democracy"

"It is an objective fact that Blacks commit more violent crimes per capita than all other races, regardless of income level, here's a link to the FBI crime statistics."

"Stop Asian Hate was not a White supremacy issue, it was a Black on Asian crime issue, here's a link to the FBI crime statistics."

"OK groomer"

Etc.

I think you don't understand. Qubes relies on software virtualization in conjunction with hardware assisted virtualization instruction sets. The aforementioned vulnerability existed in Qubes Xen.

That was disproven. This is scientific racism/bio-essentialism. Let's not go there, it's an evil path.

"I would be pretty surprised if a website known for clever wit and satire was being clever."

Even if it's referencing conspiracy theories, it's still satire. Congrats, you played yourself.

"Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement."

Considering the thousands of deaths and people murdered by the US government in places like Libya while Hillary Clinton fumbled foreign policy as Secretary of State, the article is clearly, by definition, satire. QED.

Re:Bryan Cantrill on AI doomerism: Intelligence is not enough on Wednesday December 13, 2023 @01:24PM (#38631792)
Cantrill today on Twitter: "It's occurring to me that AI doomerism is overwhelmingly white, male, Millennial, and childless -- and that this tells us more about them than about them than it does about the future of humanity"

Identity politics is a brain cancer that kills the host. Imagine if someone Tweeted "It's occurring to me that doomerism is overwhelmingly white, female, Millennial, and childless -- and that this tells us more about them than about them than it does about the future of humanity."

>eBPF and DTrace exist on orthogonal systems

That was true 15 years ago. eBPF and DTrace exist on some of the same systems now, Linux and Windows.

>and most using eBPF have never even used DTrace, let alone "moved on" from it

The performance and tracing groups at Microsoft certainty have. Same with Oracle, Netflix, among others.

>The systems are really quite different, and have different design centers; for the use case of instrumenting the system for purposes of understanding it

True, but unfortunately for DTrace, it is too late. Oracle should have done this years ago. Now Linux has a more powerful tracer builtin, eBPF, and it would be a backwards step to switch the kernel code to DTrace. [0]
