  • Putting the fascist back in eco fascist? Honestly with Musk I’m not convinced about the eco part, EVs notwithstanding. Dude seems to just go for stuff he thinks it’s cool, and while I agree on the coolness factor on some (space, electric stuff, videogames) I’m less on board with some of the other stuff (putting too much in space, trying to boringly reinvent the train, trans rights, governmental positions, fascism).


  • On the one hand that’s supposedly to do with competitive advantage. It makes sense to try to even the playing field, which should have nothing to do with objection on ‘moral’grounds. I’d argue this is mostly a good thing given the iffiness of many groups’ morals.

    Case in point, your exact examples, which brings me to the other hand. Banning trans athletes on ‘fairness’ grounds is bullshit. In most sports there’s no known competitive advantage. Where there’s an imbalance they tend to show disadvantage. The rare cases with an advantage for trans athletes tend to disappear the moment you correct for size/weight, which is not something we’d exclude cis athletes for. None of your examples should have happened. They do not hold water on fairness grounds, and any moralistic reasons behind it are reprehensible.
