He mocked a disabled former Twitter employee, Haraldur Thorleifsson, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, in a series of tweets on March 7, 2023 Thorleifsson had tweeted at Musk to ask if he was still employed at Twitter, after he lost access to his work computer along with 200 others. Musk accused him of doing no actual work, claiming a disability that prevented him from typing, and seeking a big payout 2 He also posted emojis and a link to a scene from Office Space to ridicule him.

Just to add to this, Thorleifsson had sold his company to Twitter but taken the payout as a salaried job so that he paid full taxes on it. The big payout if Musk sacked him was part of the deal to buy the company. Musk is willfully ignorant for every possible meaning of the term.

I have met enough far-left authoritarians who are openly racist, anti-lgbtq, and who advocated for violence against people solely based on their family background that I don’t think the extreme right has a monopoly on hate.

Yeah, they're banned from lemmygrad. Rule 5:

  1. No capitalist apologia / anti-communism.
  1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
  1. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome, this includes a warning against uncritical sectarianism.
  1. No porn or sexually explicit content (even if marked NSFW).
  1. No right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, strasserists, duginists, etc).

Fold, for sure. Actually pocketable, and secure once pocketed.

I have an e-ink tablet that runs Android. Copes with most apps and can deliver stuttery video.

E-Ink can't be far off replacing glass screens (at least as an option) because the benefits for battery life are substantial. But I'd think it would replace them rather than be in addition to. A phone with screens on both sides would be so fragile.

You missing some context or something?

There is a really, really big difference between "we want to kill you" and "we do not want to be killed by you".

Don't tolerate fascists. However comfortable that centrist illusion is, you are signing your own death warrant and that of millions of others (most of whom will suffer the consequences of your actions long before they get around to the people who feel safe enough to argue that fascists must be tolerated).

An influential 1966 symposium at the University of Chicago reinforced this idea. Attended by 70 men and five women...

Oh.

No zoo does this. She was used for animal testing.

This is the mantra of lemmy.ml.

Tell us, how are russian and chinese cops?

It's more of an anarchist thing, to be fair.

They're bastards, obv. Like it says in the OP.

When they're seeking to have people beaten to a pulp? Yes, obviously. Freedom for a few fascist bullies is unfreedom for everyone else. They can fuck off to Gab or Truth Social or somewhere else they'd be welcome. Not here.

but maybe not something you want to put your life on the line over.

To be fair, their hubris usually only kills poor people so, progress?
