For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

You are once again 100% incorrect. Also, the horse is already dead why are you still beating it?
The rest of Europe is NOT doing much better.
However you won't respond to facts, won't argue a point intelligently, but you'll cry wolf at being faced with data and discourse that shows you don't understand what you are talking about at the most basic level.
Once again here's some data supporting my claim (still waiting for you to produce ANYTHING to support any of your claims) that you won't read, consider, or understand:
(Find me the "rest of Europe" on any chart or article)

You have yet to counter ANY facts with anything other than your feelings, gatekeeping, or chastising and accusing me of not knowing what I'm talking about.
Call me a bad debater and spin your positions until you get dizzy, it won't change the fact that you aren't operating in reality and your feelings aren't more important than actual tangible data that is EASILY obtained through a quick Google search of how this problem actually gets solved by other countries.
Asylums aren't housing, they are a form of incarceration that objectively doesn't work. I don't understand why this concept is so hard for you to grasp?
It's really simple:
Treat people how you'd like to be treated should you ever be in their situation.
It sounds like you have joined the sunshine and rainbows team saying that rehabilitation and mental health counseling is needed. Welcome, we're glad to have you!
I firmly agree, so let's chat about homelessness. Something you have more opinions on rather than a factual understanding of what causes homelessness and equally as important, what lifts people out.
If you were homeless right now, would you prefer to be locked up in an Asylum or have a chance to have a roof over your head to get a job and get back on your feet?
See how easy that is?
Stop using whataboutism to call many of them criminals (which you said), and dehumanizing them (which by the way was the original post in the article).
It's okay to be wrong, heck it's even okay to be stupid. It's NOT okay to marginalize an entire group of vulnerable citizens while they sleep on the street and you're comfortable behind your keyboard.
P.S. Your feelings and opinions are not a credible source, sorry bud.
