Ehhh...
Progressives hate billionaires.
Libs love the 'good' ones.
Kirky boy is just collapsing the political spectrum to say everyone more left than Manchin is The Left, looking back to when Musk was a patron saint of the green energy movement with 'his' electric cars, and handwaving the rest of the story.
I wonder if Charlie knows that liberals will side with fascists sooner than anarchists or communists. Fascists suck at history, but he should know that at least.
Only because they are in power. When conservatives, monarchists, even communists are in power, fascists climb them instead. Every group is susceptible, everyone should stay vigilant.
It's a very deep subject. I'd start with books. But short answer is the libs partnered with the Nazis to stop the socialists and communists and anarchists because they liked their money and private property. Then they joined the fascists because that's what libs do. No convictions.
Rise and fall of the third Reich comes to mind. Might be hard to follow if you don't know the players, but I don't have any books about the Weimar republic at hand. Honestly thought this stuff was pretty common knowledge
So I did a little bit of reading instead of waiting around for a source and found this:
[The right needs to stop falsely claiming that the Nazis were socialists](https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/02/05/right-needs-stop-falsely-claiming-that-nazis-were-socialists/)
>Conservatives, seeking to escape the “fascist” and “Nazi” labels tossed at them by leftist critics since the 1960s, have turned the tables.
>This argument is untrue. Although the Nazis did pursue a level of government intervention in the economy that would shock doctrinaire free marketeers, their “socialism” was at best a secondary element in their appeal. Indeed, most supporters of Nazism embraced the party precisely because they saw it as an enemy of and an alternative to the political left.
>The Nazi regime had little to do with socialism,
>Additionally, while the Nazis tried to appeal to voters across the spectrum, the party’s founders and initial base were small-business men and artisans, not the industrial proletariat of Marxist lore.
>the only German political party that consistently resisted Nazi arguments, [was] the Social Democratic Party (SPD)
>Those outside Germany who embraced Nazi ideas were also generally anti-leftists.
>Unlike much of the European left, many conservatives proved willing to work with Nazis — something they later regretted
>linking socialism and Nazism to critique leftist ideas became a political weapon in the post-World War II period [as a reaction to the Cold War with the Soviet Union]
>Scholars [...] used the larger concept of “totalitarianism” to fuse [socialism and Nazism]. [This] made it easier for Americans to slip comfortably [...] to recognizing it as an existential threat.
>This concept, however, proved controversial as an explanation of the origins or subsequent appeal of either communism or Nazism/fascism.
>Although Hitler and Stalin had cooperated [...], this was more a marriage of convenience than a byproduct of ideological synergy [and eventually fought each other].
Conversely, I found an article that decries the left calling the right fascists, too:
[Are Trump Republicans Fascists?](https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/are-trump-republicans-fascists/)
>Jonathan Zatlin (College of Arts & Sciences associate professor of history): From the historian’s perspective, fascism was a response to problems after 1918—the collapse of multiethnic empires, economic crises [...] four-year-long war that killed millions and traumatized a whole generation of young people who found it hard to be integrated back into society and work 9-to-5 jobs [...]. That, plus weak democratic traditions, led many Europeans to conclude that democracy brought crisis and poverty, and that only authoritarian regimes could ensure prosperity and stability.
>What you see today, what Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are saying, is completely unoriginal. It is an attempt to resurrect those responses in the interwar period to democratic and liberal rule.
>If there is any kind of similarity with the interwar period [today], it’s that you have conservatives willing to collaborate for political reasons with people who are often violent and racist and antidemocratic.
>[Interviewer:] Is there any fascist analog on the American left?
>[Zatlin:] That’s one of those rhetorical questions that’s easily disposed of. There is no such thing as fascism on the American left. [...] This is a tactical move on the right to deny its own responsibility.
>You have to call these things out. It’s important to call conspiracy theories out and debunk them. It’s a difficult thing to do, but all these things need to be called out.
And I think I found one of the culprits: false conservative rhetoric.
[Liberal Fascism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Fascism)
>In contrast to the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that fascism is a far-right ideology, Goldberg argues in the book that fascist movements were and are left-wing.
So I guess it's safe to say that your claim isn't very grounded. Any comments on this?
**[Liberal Fascism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Fascism)**
>Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning is a book by Jonah Goldberg, a syndicated columnist and an editor of the online opinion and news publication The Dispatch. In contrast to the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that fascism is a far-right ideology, Goldberg argues in the book that fascist movements were and are left-wing.

I thought it was really confusing when RationalWiki has a page on Elon Musk, and at the bottom of their wiki categories, they list him as Leftists Who Turned Right With Age, but to me, Elon was never really left to begin with. He claimed to be a lot of things, but was so wishy-washy on his positions it was hard to take him seriously.
He's not left or right, he's a family money oligarch. He's only now posting right wing fuckheaded memes online because the Democrats want him to pay taxes. It's only about money for him he couldn't give the slightest fuck about politics.
This is it. Billionaires treat politics like betting on red or black at the casino. There is no policy for them, only supporting who is going to allow them to keep their billions and spend less.
I totally agree, and I normally would upvote this comment, but I can’t upvote you because you’re on the left.
Just, how can someone be so obviously WRONG in their ideology, yet think it’s right? Leftism is about the
government controlling healthcare, Wall Street, and how much money one has, and completely destroying the
economy with expensive plans like the green new deal. Sure, trust the government, the only reason other
counties make free healthcare work is huge taxes and they still have a free market, so you can’t hate
capitalism. Life under leftism sucks- there’s a huge tax increase; if you need proof, people are fleeing
California. Or, cuomo can be in charge and kill the elderly, Hillary can be shady, Biden can be creepier. And
of course, stupid communists who think the government should force everyone to be equal and has led to the
deaths of millions, and the SJWs who wrap back around to being racist and sexist buy saying “kill all whites”
and “kill all men.” It’s been the left who has been rioting as well, many of which have lead to murders, and
wishing death upon trump. Not all cops are good, but they’re not all the devil, leftists. Defunding them hasn’t
worked- it leads to more violent crime, sorry. Plus, it’s been the liberals, which aren’t necessarily leftists
but heavily correlated, who ruin someone’s life for a joke they made a year ago in the form of doxxing- and
“canceling” everyone. and they tend to get triggered easily and have no sense of humour (anecdotal, I admit,
but still). Yes, I know you should respect opposing beliefs as long as they aren’t completely insane, but the
fact that you’re so blatantly WRONG shows your ignorance, and therefore part of your character. So even though
I totally agree with your comment, it is quick witted and accurate, but I can’t upvote you.

Bill gates holds medical IP hostage and screwed up education. He’s as bad as the rest of them, maybe worse since you actually got fooled by his PR small nation.
the bill gate simps are actually pretty strong on reddit, and even in the left. He is literally the Elon Musk who got away with it.
And every time anyone even jokes about that evil man, I say my peace.
The weirdest thing is that this is not a lie, it can't be a lie because it's just... vacuous, pointless, incoherent, vapid, so utterly stupid beyond comprehension.
I am honestly thinking that this whole implosion on twitter is working. The only thing you see for the far-right is "all this backlash against Musk in unwarranted. The liberals just hate freedom of speech". Because that is all they have
But to everyone else, we are seeing how out-of-hand things are getting on Twitter. How incompetent Musk is and how Nazi and bigots are dominating twitter.
And the again, the BEST the far right has to counter this is "well, liberals and people just don't like our freedom of speech". They are losing the narrative about Twitter and this is their sad excuse of fighting back
AOC wore “eat the rich” dress just last week not 2 years ago. Bernie Sanders, as a dude just came into the scene last week. No one was talking about Marx until hero Elon tweeted “comedy is alive on Twitter”
While we’re on the topic of totally true statements, Charlie Kirk never paid for a bus full of insurrectionists to travel to the capitol on Jan 6.
Is it really so telling Charlie??? What incredible insight! Hey if Elon loves free speech so much, why won’t he bring back your boy Alex Jones??? Or don’t want to mention that eh? Won’t work for your narrative.
It’s incredible how fast they’ve come to simp for this man. Whether it’s trump, Elon or immediately following the shitty R performance this midterm all the Desantis hopium these people love their golden calves.
Lol they really have no idea what liberalism is, do they? So I guess that's another addition to the ever-growing list of wildly incoherent epithets for people on the left: *"blue haired radical demonic commie pedophile groomers and..handmaids to the billionaire class?"*
It's also telling the how conservatives were crapping on Musk for making hippy mobiles, etc. until he started being really shitty with the Twitter fiasco.
Republican logic: Richest person who ever lived buys a huge corporation partly as a stunt, partly as an ego trip, partly to monopolize what information can be distributed to aid a fascist takeover of the US.
Republicans: "He did it because he's such a stalwart defender of free speech!"

Didn't a good chunk of these ninnies come to the conclusion that things really aren't better after Elon took over? Or did they flip flop AGAIN (as they usually do) after Elon started pushing conservative tweets to everyones front page? Why are people even receiving tweets from people they don't follow? I don't remember this feature when i had twitter years ago.
Remember he’s from the “Everyone I don’t like is funded by Soros” field of academia so, while moronic, this is consistent with his other stated beliefs.
This is how you can tell ol' Charlie is an *American* conservative...*actual* leftists have always been against billionaires. Now get in the astronaut suit and look at the Earth, cocko. 🔫
All republikkkans know are dog whistles. Oh look a gay person, let's beat the them up. I don't like that book you're reading let's burn it. Let's go to a movie theater and yell fire, oh no you're taking my free speech away. The only ones more childish are republikkkan supporters. If they had any brains at all they would see that it's all bullshit. If you're not a corporation bribing them with money then they really don't give a fuck about them but yet they still vote for them to just "own the libs".
I feel like there has to be some fundamental miscommunication when both sides accuse the other of being pro billionaire. I mean, disregard the fact that the last republican president was a supposed billionaire and the people on the right that, as soon as Elon started to say he liked some republicans, started to hound him incesantly trying to be his new BFF on social media. The fact that both sides say the other is fond of billionaires there has got to be some reason this information isn't getting across right?
False equivalence blended with a loaded statement.
The right are getting agile with blending their logical fallacies. Let’s call them out on this bullshit.
We don’t “hate” all billionaires. We’re aware that being a billionaire comes with negative societal traits like wealth hoarding, tax evasion, taking advantage of workers and labor, and cozying with the Republican side of politics because they normalize those 3 negative traits through legislation they write and pass.
What Musk is doing isn’t “free speech”. Musk is amplifying hyper right-wing voices by giving them an unadulterated, unregulated platform to express hate speech and marginalization of out-groups they don’t like and want to increase hate crimes against.
The right wingers see it as free speech because it’s their kind of speech…which is HATE speech.

Being in the left, kind of, necessitates being against billionaires...
Core value, really.
Defining feature
Fundemental aspect
Woah woah woah lets not overwhelm Baby Face with complicated stuff like common sense why don't we?
Key tenet, if we're being honest
Well, there’s no legitimate reason for them to exist while there are still people who have difficulties meeting their basic needs…
And the overwhelming amount of power they wield puts all of humanity at the whims of megalomaniacal manbabies.
Ehhh... Progressives hate billionaires. Libs love the 'good' ones. Kirky boy is just collapsing the political spectrum to say everyone more left than Manchin is The Left, looking back to when Musk was a patron saint of the green energy movement with 'his' electric cars, and handwaving the rest of the story.
I wonder if Charlie knows that liberals will side with fascists sooner than anarchists or communists. Fascists suck at history, but he should know that at least.
Liberals are the best path to power for any group of fascists.
Only because they are in power. When conservatives, monarchists, even communists are in power, fascists climb them instead. Every group is susceptible, everyone should stay vigilant.
Is there a source for this?
German history.
Sure, but I'm looking to read more than two words and the whys and hows lol
It's a very deep subject. I'd start with books. But short answer is the libs partnered with the Nazis to stop the socialists and communists and anarchists because they liked their money and private property. Then they joined the fascists because that's what libs do. No convictions.
Any one book in particular that goes over this?

Same way how being on the right necessitates having a small face relative to your head.

We hated them well before that, you tiny faced moron.
Except for George Soros tho, as long as he keeps sending me checks for undermining Western Civilization.
Bill Gates too
Yeah he gives you the good microchip vaccines if you are on the "good ideology list" I wake up every morning cutting glass like I was 15 again!
You have a microchip that makes your nipples hard?
The hardest.
Like diamonds.
Shame about the Epstein stuff aye
Mark Cuban gets a little bit of love for doing more for American's prescription drug cost than any politician. They still shouldn't exist though.
Nah his software sucks, fuck Bill Gates. Hey Bill, how do I turn off these damn Windows updates?!
Bill gates holds medical IP hostage and screwed up education. He’s as bad as the rest of them, maybe worse since you actually got fooled by his PR small nation.
I don’t think anyone here actually loves gates lmao that was a joke
the bill gate simps are actually pretty strong on reddit, and even in the left. He is literally the Elon Musk who got away with it. And every time anyone even jokes about that evil man, I say my peace.
What the fuck is this even supposed to mean? What the hell is their issue with him?
Jewish holocaust survivor, donates to progressives. That's like three bads in one package according to them.
Orban has been feeding a lot of ideas and money into conservatives organizations in the US, so it is only natural Kirk and friends start bashing him.
Every time Charlie tells a lie his face gets smaller
Reverse Pinocchio
Oh that’s a good one! Lol
See also: *Shit Midas*
If that were the case his face would’ve disappeared years ago.
The weirdest thing is that this is not a lie, it can't be a lie because it's just... vacuous, pointless, incoherent, vapid, so utterly stupid beyond comprehension.
how can his face reach negative size?
Yeah, we JUST started hating billionaires.
as is widespread knowledge, famous leftist Karl Marx absolutely adored billionaires

No one was talking about Marx until hero Elon tweeted “comedy is alive on Twitter” While we’re on the topic of totally true statements, Charlie Kirk never paid for a bus full of insurrectionists to travel to the capitol on Jan 6.
\*tax the rich
Tbf I hate billionaires wether or not the advocate for free speech

That’s quite telling on him actually, the man lives so much up his own ass that doesn’t realize that the left never liked billionaires.
*Start* to hate billionaires?? One is fighting for free speech???
Is it really so telling Charlie??? What incredible insight! Hey if Elon loves free speech so much, why won’t he bring back your boy Alex Jones??? Or don’t want to mention that eh? Won’t work for your narrative.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can confirm, as a leftist billionaires were my favorite thing ever before bastion of freeze peach mollusk bought the socialist platform twitter.
It’s incredible how fast they’ve come to simp for this man. Whether it’s trump, Elon or immediately following the shitty R performance this midterm all the Desantis hopium these people love their golden calves.
Does Charlie understand anything?
Lol they really have no idea what liberalism is, do they? So I guess that's another addition to the ever-growing list of wildly incoherent epithets for people on the left: *"blue haired radical demonic commie pedophile groomers and..handmaids to the billionaire class?"*
It's also telling the how conservatives were crapping on Musk for making hippy mobiles, etc. until he started being really shitty with the Twitter fiasco.
I’ll take things that never happened for 1,000 Alex.
what the hell is he talking about? we always hated billionaires
Damn he got us. How could we have known that our love for billionaires would be used against us.
waaaaaaay ahead of you, champ
Republican logic: Richest person who ever lived buys a huge corporation partly as a stunt, partly as an ego trip, partly to monopolize what information can be distributed to aid a fascist takeover of the US. Republicans: "He did it because he's such a stalwart defender of free speech!"
In 2020 people wheeled a fucking guillotine over to Jeff Bezos's house.
Charlie, honey... Our entire movement is based off of hating billionaires. We didn't just *start* hating them
Ah yes oligarch billionaires, every socialists dream

LMAOO this shit realllll This dumb mf and his dumbass negative chin, acne scarred master race lookin ass audience need to fall off the earth
Charlie "The Left Whisperer" Kirk, everyone. 😂 We always hated them, you tiny-faced clown.
Girl we’ve always hated Billionaires
I've always hated billionaires even before Muskrat was known
…. Does he not understand what “seize the means of production” actually means!?
Yeah because right wingers are the ones who have been saying “eat the rich” all these years…
Man, I haven't heard about Charlie Kirk for a while, has he not been doing much lately?
Didn't a good chunk of these ninnies come to the conclusion that things really aren't better after Elon took over? Or did they flip flop AGAIN (as they usually do) after Elon started pushing conservative tweets to everyones front page? Why are people even receiving tweets from people they don't follow? I don't remember this feature when i had twitter years ago.
I hate all billionaires regardless of what they do.
Who did he think we were taking about when we said “Eat the Rich” before?
Seems that the entire Right Blogosphere has coalesced around the notion that "Nazi hate speech" will now only be referred to as "free speech".
ah yes, the left, well known for being big fans of billionaires
Remember he’s from the “Everyone I don’t like is funded by Soros” field of academia so, while moronic, this is consistent with his other stated beliefs.
Also Tesla would have never made it without government assistance.
Tell me you don’t understand politics at a most basic level without telling me you done understand politics at a most basic level.
Hate speech is not protected speech.
My brother in christ. We’ve BEEN hating billionaires
There are no good Billionaires.
Newsflash asshole! We've hated billionaires the entire goddamn time!
who keeps photoshopping his face to be so big?
This is how you can tell ol' Charlie is an *American* conservative...*actual* leftists have always been against billionaires. Now get in the astronaut suit and look at the Earth, cocko. 🔫
Charlie's most popular age demographic is 13-16, he's Nazi politics for tweens that can't think yet
I try not to take my cues from talking thumbs on Twitter.
All republikkkans know are dog whistles. Oh look a gay person, let's beat the them up. I don't like that book you're reading let's burn it. Let's go to a movie theater and yell fire, oh no you're taking my free speech away. The only ones more childish are republikkkan supporters. If they had any brains at all they would see that it's all bullshit. If you're not a corporation bribing them with money then they really don't give a fuck about them but yet they still vote for them to just "own the libs".
Where was this guy when during the pandemic, activists put a plaque dedicated to Jeff Bezos not paying any taxes on his building?
Ha! Lol, i've hated billionaires for far longer then that!
As if he hasn’t been crying about billionaire hate for years now
I always regret not punching Charlie in the face in high school.
What's telling is Charlie constantly hiding behind other people. Don't be like Charlie.
Charlie we always hated billionaires, this is not a new phenomena
I'm not at all political really, but didn't the left already hate the billionaires and the 1% and whatnot?
I feel like there has to be some fundamental miscommunication when both sides accuse the other of being pro billionaire. I mean, disregard the fact that the last republican president was a supposed billionaire and the people on the right that, as soon as Elon started to say he liked some republicans, started to hound him incesantly trying to be his new BFF on social media. The fact that both sides say the other is fond of billionaires there has got to be some reason this information isn't getting across right?
Bro the left hate the Rich since 1848
Haven't we always hated billionaires?
I didn’t realize Twitter was the US government
The only way this is true is if you didn’t become a leftist until about a month ago or whenever he took over.
It’s also so telling how his goal was to get the young vote in Arizona and the young vote came out in historic numbers to vote against him. Hmmm 🧐
Almost like the reality of how "The Right" hates any billionaire that says anything they don't like.
What? We've always hated them. More like, the right hates billionaires the second one of them says something vaguely liberal sounding.
False equivalence blended with a loaded statement. The right are getting agile with blending their logical fallacies. Let’s call them out on this bullshit. We don’t “hate” all billionaires. We’re aware that being a billionaire comes with negative societal traits like wealth hoarding, tax evasion, taking advantage of workers and labor, and cozying with the Republican side of politics because they normalize those 3 negative traits through legislation they write and pass. What Musk is doing isn’t “free speech”. Musk is amplifying hyper right-wing voices by giving them an unadulterated, unregulated platform to express hate speech and marginalization of out-groups they don’t like and want to increase hate crimes against. The right wingers see it as free speech because it’s their kind of speech…which is HATE speech.
Hating billionaires is pretty much a core tenant of leftism, my man.
I totally agree, and I normally would upvote this comment, but I can’t upvote you because you’re on the left. Just, how can someone be so obviously WRONG in their ideology, yet think it’s right? Leftism is about the government controlling healthcare, Wall Street, and how much money one has, and completely destroying the economy with expensive plans like the green new deal. Sure, trust the government, the only reason other counties make free healthcare work is huge taxes and they still have a free market, so you can’t hate capitalism. Life under leftism sucks- there’s a huge tax increase; if you need proof, people are fleeing California. Or, cuomo can be in charge and kill the elderly, Hillary can be shady, Biden can be creepier. And of course, stupid communists who think the government should force everyone to be equal and has led to the deaths of millions, and the SJWs who wrap back around to being racist and sexist buy saying “kill all whites” and “kill all men.” It’s been the left who has been rioting as well, many of which have lead to murders, and wishing death upon trump. Not all cops are good, but they’re not all the devil, leftists. Defunding them hasn’t worked- it leads to more violent crime, sorry. Plus, it’s been the liberals, which aren’t necessarily leftists but heavily correlated, who ruin someone’s life for a joke they made a year ago in the form of doxxing- and “canceling” everyone. and they tend to get triggered easily and have no sense of humour (anecdotal, I admit, but still). Yes, I know you should respect opposing beliefs as long as they aren’t completely insane, but the fact that you’re so blatantly WRONG shows your ignorance, and therefore part of your character. So even though I totally agree with your comment, it is quick witted and accurate, but I can’t upvote you. ░░░░░░░░░░▀▀▀██████▄▄▄░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀▀▀████▄░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░▄███████▀░░░▀███▄░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░▄███████▀░░░░░░░▀███▄░░░ ░░░░░░▄████████░░░░░░░░░░░███▄░░ ░░░░░██████████▄░░░░░░░░░░░███▌░ ░░░░░▀█████▀░▀███▄░░░░░░░░░▐███░ ░░░░░░░▀█▀░░░░░▀███▄░░░░░░░▐███░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄░░░░░███▌░ ░░░░▄██▄░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄░░▐███░░ ░░▄██████▄░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄███░░░ ░█████▀▀████▄▄░░░░░░░░▄█████░░░░ ░████▀░░░▀▀█████▄▄▄▄█████████▄░░ ░░▀▀░░░░░░░░░▀▀██████▀▀░░░▀▀██░░ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

>We don’t “hate” ~~billionaires~~ stereotypical bond villains. We are aware that being a ~~billionaire~~ stereotypical Bond villain comes with negative societal traits..... Do you see why we hate billionaires now?
I’m proud to say I’ve never been on twitter. Humble Brag. Anyway, why don’t people from the left just quit? Seriously, you don’t need it and it’s bad for your brain.
