… or the Trotskyites in the Soviet revolution.

… or a whole bunch of very surprised fascists in the Nazi “Night of the Long Knives.”

… or almost everyone in Pol Pot’s Cambodia.

Yes, the leopards will eat your face too. The loyalty in totalitarian societies only goes up the chain of command. Everyone down the chain is expendable.

The leopards are going to eat Elon’s face in the end. Just wait. Someone should tell him his new friends hate EVs and renewable energy and don’t give a damn about space.

Same for Peter Thiel. He’s gay, which means they think he’s a degenerate subhuman. They’re happy to take his money but if they gain power he’s gonna be cat food.



> He’s gay, which means they think he’s a degenerate subhuman.

In a thread about Taibbi and Musk, you're the one associating gay people that you disapprove of with the phrase "degenerate subhuman." I'm quoting you, and you're not quoting anyone.


Uhh no that’s not what I said. I’m pointing out the obvious, that a lot of the people Thiel funds would look down on him for being gay if he wasn’t paying them.

It’s really stupidly obvious. They go hard anti-gay as soon as they are talking to their base.

It’s strange but there it is.


I have a new hobby - when I spot a reasoning error, I feed the relevant part of a discussion to GPT-4 to see if it is able to detect that error.

Here is what GPT-4 says about this thread: Person 2 seems to have misunderstood Person 1's statement. Person 1 was suggesting that those who support Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, specifically the people who have totalitarian tendencies, would consider Peter Thiel as a "degenerate subhuman" due to his sexual orientation. Person 1 was not expressing their own opinion about gay people...

Interesting, right? One of my dreams is that I will soon have an AI detector for flawed reasoning (of others as well as my own).
