  • It's a low confidence theory, but still the most likely theory based on the available evidence. And yeah it's not new news.

  • The main reason they don't have the evidence is because China won't cooperate. We may never know.

  • Yes but I'm saying what if Musk did that.

  • No it's not that one, which was an obvious crop job. Another guy found it in one of the other comments. Again, it's not that I'm saying that AOC did the salute, just that what if Elon did the same exact thing? It's a double standard because he would be treated differently for it because of all the other context. But my point is that it's not unreasonable for there to be a double standard given the context of who did it.

  • Ok... Did you see the AOC video though? Imagine Elon doing that and tell me what you would think about it. It would look a lot different coming from him, and that's my point.

  • Yeah but imagine Musk doing that exact thing. I'm pretty sure it would hit a lot different.

  • You totally missed the point...

  • Straw man? I don't think you understood the point I was making...

  • Yeah that's my point. It has a lot more credibility as an accusation against Musk compared to when AOC did something very similar. Because nobody thinks AOC is a Nazi. It's a bit of a double standard, but so what?

    This is what I'm referring to. If you can find the video it really does look like a nazi salute, but nobody actually thinks that it is, in any way: https://x.com/APTeacher1754/status/1882043612122497239/photo/1

  • Yeah but if AOC makes a gesture that looks a lot like a nazi salute, nobody cares about it. It's a double standard, but nobody actually thinks AOC is a nazi or was trying to evoke nazi imagery. Double standards aren't always automatically bad or wrong. They need to be considered in the context of the person and what they stand for.

  • World War 2, NASA...

  • Lol, settle down.

  • It's either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?

  • Right, but not ALL of them.

  • To be fair, there are a lot of people who somehow find a way to blame Trump for every bad thing.

  • Seems like you are ignoring the very obvious solution in favor of "US bad".

  • As long as people keep in mind what Wikipedia is, there should be no issue. There's a reason teachers never allow it as a source, but it is great as an introduction to any topic, from which point you can further your own research.

  • I'm one of those. Capital punishment is obsolete in my opinion, since we no longer need to execute people to ensure that they don't present danger to the civilized population in the future.

  • I know people who use these type of cost sharing insurance plans, and it works just fine except that there are restrictions like no tobacco users, no drinking alcohol, and you need to do a bit more work to get reimbursed.
