    Like all Musk content, this is boringly unoriginal. Same thing’s been said about gay people for decades if not longer. It’s giving conservative uncle at Thanksgiving. You know he heard it somewhere and thought it sounded quippy, but the source doesn’t really matter because he’s gonna say it like he thought of it either way.

    Look around you. Every Necromonger trans in this hall, every member of the Legion Vast that swept aside your defenses in one night, was once like you. Fought as feebly as you. Every Necromonger trans that lives today is a convert.

    Sounds like he’s found a way to never think about or mention trans people again. Its a self solving problem dude.

    I predict this is his final post.

    County clerks cannot procreate, so they will die out if they don’t convert those who do

    Freemasons cannot procreate, so they will die out if they don’t convert those who do

    Ron Paul voters cannot procreate, so they will die out if they don’t convert those who do

    Tea partyers cannot procreate, so they will die out if they don’t convert those who do

      “Why do you resist? We only wish to raise quality of life for all genders.”

      “I like my genders the way it is.”

      “A narrow vision. You will become one with the Trans. You will all become one with the Trans. The asshole, Musk. Primitive South African. You will be obsolete in the new order.”

      Yes, including the child grooming/pedophile allegations. There’s short films for elementary school kids from the 1950s where they talk about health issues. One of those movies is about child predators and how they are also known as “homosexuals.” The video warns children to avoid homosexuals because they will get kidnapped and murdered. You could find the whole series on YouTube a few years ago, along with what to do should your school be hit by a nuclear bomb.

    Haha cool not like transness or assigned at birth gender non-conformance have been documented since the inception of written history or anything.

      Even if such concepts were somehow new, why is King Bazinga, Rocket Jesus of the Future, Herald of the Singularity™ brought to you by Le Epic X The Everything App, so fucking afraid of concepts that are different and new to him? billionaire-tears bridget-pride-stay-mad

        Remember when the Bazingas of the 90s were talking about complete bodily autonomy and the shattering of human gender, sex, and species? Pepperidge farm remembers.

          I was there for the “Extropian” movement of the 90s. While there was a superficial promise of “become nanobot swarms that can do and become anything!” Feverish power fantasies involved, I think over time (much like Reddit New Atheism in general) they started skidding their heels on extrapolations on ideas that were too unfamiliar to themselves and started getting more reactive, crusty, and entrenched in how the fantastical “singularity™” future was supposed to look like.

          Ultimately it became “pre-nukes Fallout, but with immortality and more superpowers.” grillman

            Yeah, me too, at least the tail end. I remember them kicking the openly fash out (The Prometheans, I think) and immediately falling back into fascist thinking.

            One of the things that made me step away was how incredibly shocked and averse they were to anything that implied that a non-western culture could wield these technologies.

            I especially remember how Michael Anisimov went from “everyone is a Jupiter Brain” to “Socially Conservative uploading” to “I’m an open nazi”

              For me, the end of my interest and association with “futurology” was when the conferences themselves got overtly bought out by tech companies and starting having blatant military presence as well.

              There was this occult blood ritual of sorts involving a new kind of “chipping” during the last one I attended, with a lot of ceremony and crowd enthusiasm. Between that and all the boots waiting around to recruit new credulous bazingas, I was done.

              I’m still disgusted that so many less-scratched liberals made so many excuses for Nick Land’s drug-powered cyber-nazi fever dreams, too.

                  They already decided that they were the Very Smartists, I mean “Rationalists,” that are “Less Wrong” than the rest of us mortal rabble, so of course whatever their “grey tribe” leaders decide is the “greyest” non-ideological ideology is the one that’s the most Very Smart, Rational, and the Least Wrong.

                  That just so happens to be the guy into drug-powered cyber-nazi fever dreams. no-mouth-must-scream hitler-detector
