   @ahills @mekkaokereke I see. What's wrong with any of these, I wonder? It's the usual Bernie Sanders stuff. Elon can be right about a few things despite being a miserable fascist shithead, a broken clock is right twice a day.

     @alextecplayz @ahills @mekkaokereke Because you never frame it that way. He's not right. He doesn't want to cut the military spending. He wants to privatize it.

     A bad person with a bad motive is never "right", even if the exact same words spoken by a different person in a different context might be right. Because words and ideas have contexts and malicious ppl don't mean what they say.

     @alextecplayz When you say the person is right, YOU ARE NOT IGNORING THE CONTEXT. You're affirming it and them and the thing they actually meant.

     @dalias Of course, Elon has other reasons (if that wasn't obvious), but he's still, at least partially, right about cutting military spending in the US - if we were to ignore the context.
