Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Speaking to the Economist magazine's editor-in-chief, Musk was asked whether he was "anti-Muslim".

“If people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that,” he said in response.

“I’m against rape and murder, I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we’ve come to accept in the West. I think it’s a crying shame that the traditional media don’t recognise this.”

When pushed by Zanny Minton Beddoes on past comments suggesting "civil war" was "inevitable" in the UK, Musk said that it was "on the current trend".

"That is nonsense. The numbers also disprove what you say. London is a much safer city than any city in the US," said Beddoes in response. "You have painted Europe and the UK as overrun with terrifying Muslim immigrants, there's rape on every corner, there's civilisational destruction."

Musk then conceded that it had been a "few years" since he had been to the UK, but also claimed he "didn't say any of those things".

Musk seriously needs to focus on his mental health for a few years and leave the lime light until he has recovered to a well regulated sane self.

Musk seriously needs to be shot out of the solar system aboard one of SpaceX's heavy lift rockets.

Musk should focus on raising his children.

He should focus on injecting a lethal dose of ketamine.

Elon Musk should be on the verge of getting punched like the fucking Nazi he is

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Musk is a tool but illegal muslims are literally a huge problem.
