Ok, I think I understand now. Thanks!

How does one collect?

Ah ok, so if I understand correctly, you’re saying that in a vacuum the term “islamist” isn’t necessarily hate speech, but becomes hate speech because of the motivations of the guy saying it?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I get that it is insulting, and clearly incorrect as applied to Mamdani. The part I don’t understand is how this particular insult rises to the level of “hate speech”. Like, if I called you a white nationalist, that would (presumably) be wrong and stupid, and pretty insulting, but not hate speech AFAIK.

Someone please educate me - what is the hate speech and bigotry in calling someone an islamist? I have heard people describe fundamentalist Muslims that way, in the same way you would use “evangelical” or “fundamentalist mormon”. Obviously that doesn’t fit Mamdani! But it doesn’t strike me as a particularly egregious insult. Looking for clarity, not down votes and insults, please.

Just get rid of the creepy-ass pledge completely please

Small correction - he started SpaceX, and that company is wildly successful. That’s mostly due to the incredible leadership of Gwynne Shotwell; but Musk did actually start that company.

That shouldn’t detract from your point, though, because AFAIK that’s the only successful company that he personally started
