cheers to the NZ Herald for calling a spade a spade
the cowards at the “paper of record” NY Times went with “Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture”
BBC: Elon Musk’s gesture at Trump rally draws scrutiny
The Guardian: Elon Musk appears to make back-to-back fascist salutes at inauguration rally
if Trump shot someone on 5th Ave these fucking lickspittles would probably give it a “President-involved shooting ignites debate over the limits of executive power” headline
Said on Mastodon, will repeat here:
This is the least surprising thing since that thing that wasn’t very surprising.
To every Yankee reading this, I just hope you guys are like. Safe. Shit’s gonna hit the mega fan over there it seems.
Get me out.
I am legally mandated (it’s in my country’s constitution I’m pretty sure) to say “come to Brazil” in response to that.
Isn’t it really dangerous in Brazil if you like accidentally go in a favela or something? Or is that just in Rio?
The most “dangerous” cities are Rio, São Paulo, and Salvador. But the thing about the lethality of those cities? Most of the people who are dying aren’t foreign expats like you, it’s the inhabitants of the samesuch poor areas, surrounded by mobsters and having to just deal with that on a day to day basis.
For everyone else? The big urban centers are dangerous to your property. Be careless and you will be mugged. Not pickpocketed. Mugged.
But at the same time Brazil is a pretty large place with lots of different cities. I’ve lived in a medium-to-large city (and NOT one of the famous ones Gringos would know) my entire life and been mugged… Twice. In thirty years. Both were harmless other than the loss of my cell phone.
