Elon Musk is EVIL. He is dumb, arrogant, a dick, and a bad parent, but a lot of people are those things. What sets him apart is he is EVIL. Evil has no place on MY planet. That’s what you need to be telling yourself.
What does that even mean? Evil is a silly adjective tied to a bunch of mumbo jumbo religious rhetoric.
Use adult words: he’s a narcissist and void of empathy. He is dangerous and a threat to America.
evil is putting your desires before other people’s needs or wellbeing. it’s an important distinction and needs to be used regardless of religious context.
No, the word your looking for that fits the definition given is ‘selfishness’. Just about every living organism on the planet instinctually puts themselves and their own continued survival as #1. Do you think all animals and plants and micro bacteria and viruses evil because living things compete for resources instead of sharing while singing cum-bai-yah in perfect harmony?
It sucks that people care about themselves more than others but that’s not evil its a natural aspect of being an individual organism trying to navigate a harsh sometimes cruel world. Adknowledging that aspect of living things without retrofitting it into some definition morality is important to understanding reality.
You might be able to argued a true narcicist psychopath who cares about nothing but themselves and couldn’t care less if everyone else dies as long as their comfort is maintained is evil but that’s a nuanced position that required more than 15 seconds to type.
Spend a few minutes thinking up a proper definition of evil or copy paste one from someone who has.
I don’t think you read my comment carefully enough before you smugly assumed I never thought about this before. you’re wrong. what i described is not what every living organism does, and even if it was, a vacuous appeal to nature wouldn’t really affect my judgment over human behavior.
One of the problems I’ve always had with the left (I’m a queer-ass lefty) is they talk like a cover letter written by AI. They’re treading carefully, trying to appeal to everyone, and sound like the soulless middle managers they are. The most iconic thing Kamela said, to me, is when she called the republicans weird.
I hope things like this become more common. I want to hear what people really think so I don’t feel like I’m going crazy alone. Be more like Bernie. Hell. I would love it if Bernie dropped some fuck yous and bitch asses.

And that wasn’t Kamala. That was Tim Walz. I mean, yes, she said it, but she got that messaging from Walz.
…and then Kamala got advice from Nancy Pelosi and centrists to “tone down the ‘weird’ rhetoric” and focus on courting moderate Republicans, and her campaign fucking tanked. Couple that with the DNC not allowing a single Palestinian supporter to speak during the convention, and it was ruined for all of us. She had all the momentum of a bulldozer, initially, and swindled it by putting faith in crotchety, old, dinosaurs who refuse to entertain progressive ideas as they usher in a new tRump era of misery that may never end.
