finally started reading walter isaacson's book on elon and "anti-semitism" is literally on the first page of the first chapter

Elon’s grampa was so good at being racist that a pro-apartheid newspaper interviewed him when he moved to SA and gushed about what a boon it would be having him in the country

Describing the land of central Camada as 'barren plains' and the SocCreds as only 'tinged with anti-semitism' are certainly interesting choices.

Walter Isaacson doing what he was paid to do: laundering

ok so this is absolutely not the point but “instilled in him a populism”?? a populism? not two populisms? or five?

inside you are two populisms (they're kissing and holding hands)

That caught my eye too. Very weird phrasing🤔

I, myself, contain a multitude of populisms. Populismae? Populismes.

Populissimae!

Yup, seems he took a lot from his grandfather:1) Selling smoke (chiropractic) 2) Populism 3) Conservative 4) Technocracy (or whatever-he-boasts-to-do-cracy, the goal is to rule) 5)Racism... And that's just a single page

Yup.

It's wild that the Socreds were still in power in BC when I was growing up.

Same.

“Strongly held opinions”

The bar for antisemitism is simultaneously extremely high and extremely low, depending on the topic.

I wrote a little about Haldeman on Twitter in March because I looked and nobody else had back then, except for the Technocracy thing.

I'd come across Haldeman while reading about antisemitism and Canadian Social Credit in the '90s (not an obscure topic in Western Canada) but only learned the Musk relation recently.

“Social credit”, if I’m recalling correctly, was the train Ezra Pound rode on his way to anti-semitism and fascism

Also a fake payment system!

Ah, so it's heirloom anti-semitism.

Wait until you get to the bit about why he moved to South Africa.

Chiropractor grandpa? Grifting is in his blood.

Is Social Credit similar to Sovereign Citizen?

No, it is not. Social Credit is both an economic and political theory based in the labour theory of value. That said, Social Credit as applied in Canada included heavy strains of Christian fundamentalism, antisemitism, and conservatism. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_...

Thank you.

'frontier rodeo chiropractor' wasn't on my Musk family bingo card, probably should've been tho. Sounds like Gramps couldn't stick with one job any more than Melon can
