None of these are things are left wing.

They're just common sense, sensible policies by the establishment.

Only idiots would oppose them.
1. DEI policies degrade the quality of the establishment by favoring lower-skilled applicants because of their race, but worse than that is that it's perpetuating racism by discriminating against whites and Asians. It's not common sense because it's a policy that's been axed by most major corporations since Trump's re-election because people are realizing how racist and destructive the policy is.

2. Open border policies are obviously a way to degrade the populous by importing migrants who are un-vetted that are free to commit violent crimes, but the worse thing is the taxpayer money going to fund these migrant's lifestyle. It's also a reason why minorites and blacks voted for Trump in record numbers because they feel threatened by these illegal migrants who are undercutting their jobs.

3. It is scientifically established that there are two genders, which ranges from XX to XY chromosomes. Sure there are some rare genetic exceptions but there are only two genders. If you are born with a XY chromosome, you should NOT be allowed to use the restroom intended for XX chromosomes.

4. Climate change propaganda is promoted by the rich which puts a massive strain on the working-class population. There's no clear research that shows that humans are DIRECTLY causing climate change, whilst working-class are having to struggle through all these regulations and the rich are flying in their private jets with their "holier than thou" attitudes.
 
Sure, free speech has limits. But where is Elon Musk inciting hatred? Where is he defaming anyone? Where is he threatening violence? Unless it's these things I've listed, it's fair game.

I also find it disingenuous that you claim to be American who is an "absolutely" a first amendment guy yet in another post in this thread, you are calling for a foreign government to arrest one of our own citizens (Musk).
Let's say you get a job holding a sandwich board in a Jewish area of town which is promoting a shop selling kosher meats.

Now let's say someone comes along and paints a large swatika on your sandwich board.

Do you keep walking around with the sandwich board or do you try and remove the swatika?

As you think about your answer, remember that Musk owns twitter.

Is it a limit of free speech making up fabricated nonsense on the internet?
 
Musk hasn't even denied it was a Nazi salute
just on this. I know and have close relationships with autistic kids and adults. Those who unintentionally make mistakes or offended people - particularly the latter, when it’s pointed are often mortified, and don’t generally double down on their actions, I can’t speak for Musk or his affliction - but those using his affliction as excuse is just as bad as the offensive gesture.

He is hiding behind his actions using a broader context of autism to justify it, and that may very well be offensive to autistic people.

Do I think he intentionally done it? Yes, standing at a podium with his supporters, after buying a social network that “fought against the dying press”, banning and firing folks, banning journalists and releasing documents meant to justify it.

If you ever struggled to understand what fascism was: you’ve been a part of it’s glaring display by a billionaire who doubles down on his activities in the face of criticism.

I wouldn't allow anyone to paint anything without my permission on my sandwich board, which is responsible for my business.

I'd obviously remove the swastika but what's exactly your point with this question? Are you suggesting I should be arrested if I don't remove the swastika?

You don't know DEI is at all

promoting Nazi ideology is inciting hatred and normalising the violence that ideology represents.

1. Wrong. Are there any other reasons other than common sense for corporations to drop DEI when Trump and his ilk came to power? Those corporations were doing fine with DEI and never indicated any degree of 'destruction' caused by it. Take your time. I'll give you a clue: One begins with R the other M

2. Wrong. The borders being open isn't the problem. It is the vetting process which Biden and bipartisan reps aimed to bolster by a bill that Trump blocked. There won't be many white Americans lining up to pick fruit for the wage those immigrants picked them

3. Wrong. Two sexes. Not two genders

4. Wrong. The richest people in the world, including your heroes do not want climate change tackled because the necessary reduction in carbon footprint impacts their bottom line. Why do you think Trump has declared an energy emergency to flood AI energy usage and rolling back regulations? He was flanked by those Oligarchs when doing it. You've got it completely backwards. There is plenty of 'clear research' showing human's direct impact on climate change

Where do you people get your information ffs?

Ignoring everything else you spewed - this is hliariously bad:

You have honestly been sucked right into the rabbit hole of nonsense.

Go for a walk

Just put this through chatgpt checker and it’s 90% AI.

Shame on you Emir.

Ok mate. Let's deal with each one.

1) DEI don't downgrade anything, they are about removing barriers to people who might suffer structural reasons for why they aren't given the same opportunities. I don't think they are a particularly useful solution, often they are tokenistic and don't go far enough, and ultimately trying to have some more legal tinkering with a structurally unfair system doesn't really work.

But the concept is a sensible one, which is if you broaden the field you look for innovators etc, you increase your chances of finding better people.

2) I mean I'm ntl sure where to start on this. America, or other countries don't have open border policies. Most black and Asian people didn't vote for Trump. But they are also immigrants, so are they not contributing? The reality is, migrants add, rather than detract value. This will become more pronounced as the demographic crisis intensifies.

Very few people are in favour of open borders. But there's also the massive middle point between having some controls over borders, and wanting to almost randomly deport people based often on ethnicity.

Also how would an illegal migrants undercut someone's job, when they can't legally work?

3) I'm afraid you understand the difference between sex and gender. Id really urge you to grasp what each mean before you try and explain.

Suffice to say, gender doesn't exist. It's a construct. There are not 2 genders, anymore than there are 2 hundred genders. It's a construct.

I'm in favour of sex based protections, but you unfortunately don't seem to be able to understand what this means.

4) I mean this is just waffle. Climate change is real. The science show it very clearly. Denying reality doesn't change reality. We are going to be having more extreme weather events, more climate refugees, more damage to economies etc unless we get real. We have a responsibility to save the climate for our children so they have a planet to live on.

And if some folk go on planes? So what? It doesn't change the science.

Working class people are struggling to cope with the damages of wildfires on California so etc, and it will only get worse unless we act.
