people don't like being oppressed and a society founded on oppression contains inherent contradictions arising from conflict between the oppressor and oppressed classes
aha! you have committed the logical error of assuming that the oppressed are always right!
the first rule of tautology club has been revised. previously, the first rule of tautology club was the first rule of tautology club. now, the first rule of tautology club is 'anytime you see elon musk on the street, smack him in the back of the head as hard as you can'
But the left does not argue that "weak makes right". I don't see anyone on the left saying that the Argentinian government's policies are right, despite then being in a very weak position. On foreign policy, I don't see the global left supporting Taiwan or even Ukraine, despite both states being in weak positions compared to their much larger neighbour, and one of them even being at war after the much larger neighbour invaded. Most are neutral and just want peace, and a few states even support Russia and China explicitly. The appeal to weakness and admiration of failed projects is something that is usually seen amongst egalitarian/radical liberals and the kind of person that argues "communism is a good idea in theory, but real communism has never been tried" types.
And that's the most charitable interpretation of what Musk has said, as other users have said judging who plays what part of the "oppressor/oppressed" dynamic is always a value judgement, and the oppressed are always right in not wanting to be oppressed by their oppressors within that specific dynamic.
To the right, the oppressed are necessarily weaker than the oppressors. Therefore, considering the oppressed to always be the correct side of a conflict is equivalent to considering the weaker party to always be the correct side of a conflict. In other words, weak makes right.
Others in this comment section have pointed out errors in this argument, so I won't bother reiterating them here.
Just that thing where they can't fathom how we think, so they just invert how they think and decide that must be it. They have a reflexive worship of power that compels them to always see the oppressor as correct? We must simply think the exact opposite, nothing more complicated than that.
Hey everybody, I just wanted to remind everybody that I care about doing the right thing even if it's some untermensch's idea and my haters don't and you are being irrational if you don't agree.
He is longing for the "good old days" when the AmeriKKKan Constitution was new. When women, non-whites and the poor were property and the indigenous were vermin to be removed from their land executed.
This was pretty much my take. Idk why he seems to think he needs to periodically post some quasi-intelligent drivel once a month though. His fans already think he's Space Jesus and the Left hate him for being a fascist dork and aren't at any risk of suddenly thinking he's some wise sage.
He is saying it should be "correct makes strong and as either side can be correct it is being correct that makes you strong" .... I think. Or he's saying "strong makes correct" as in "sometimes weak is correct but strong is always correct." Either way its some murky 'too-clever-for-my-own-britches' bullshit.
I've actually seen a somewhat similar argument used to complain about western "leftists" who only like failed socialist projects but hate all AES states.
