Do you think you could be a little more careful in your angry smearing of conscientious objectors please?

Perhaps you need to stop smearing conscientious objectors by pretending Phony Stark was one - you might just as well pretend Donald Trump was a conscientious objector if you apply that label to Musk.

It's out in the open now - Musk is as much a white supremacist as any National Party goon. And, like a lot of rich white kids whose families got rich off the opportunities and impoverished black labor the Apartheid-regime provided them with, Musk felt himself too entitled to actually do the dirty work himself. It was common knowledge here in South Africa at the time - the rich white kids from rich families got to opt out of the war, despite the fact thet they benefited the most from the Apartheid-regime.

It is true that some of those rich white kids actually were against the Apartheid-regime... but Musk wasn't one of them. His blatant support for white supremacism and his enabling of right-wing ideology proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Exactly. If the reason you are "conscientiously objecting" is because you're a rich Nazi shitheel who is too much of a pussy to fight for anything yourself, no one cares because you obviously don't have a real conscience to be conscientous with.

He is clearly fine with sending others to fight his battles for him. Can he be any more the Gen X version of Trump?
