Minor note, but Musk wears that jacket everywhere, even at a suit and tie dinner with Trump. I don't get how Trump (if my assumptions on him wanting to be seen as a certain type of having class/higher society type) stands him. Looking at the picture, he might be having second thoughts all the time.
Victim and Unjust are also there, which lawyers prob love to never be able to use.
"De colonized" is also on there, that will give some interesting problems when automated filters for this hit Dutch texts (De means the).
E: there are so many other words on there like victim, and unjust, and equity, this will cause so many dumb problems. And of course if you go on the first definition of political correct ('you must express the party line on certain ideas or be punished') they created their own PC culture. (I know pointing out hypocrisy does nothing, but it amuses me for now).

Compared to the hacker baseline that is odd indeed.
He who controls the goons controls the universe. No wait that is only in EVE online.
Also the age where you are easily impressed by a supposed genius, actual billionaire, 'meme lord' who sort of speaks your language (but due to your age you have not noticed only in the most shallow way), who showers you with attention. While also filled with the righteous fury of wanting to act on your ideology.
Remember when Scott wrote the 'dont talk like robots ya nerds' article? Good times.
Buddhist thinking has always been a big undercurrent (at least compared to the rest of the western world) in the hacker/computer science world, so doesnt have to come from anything LW related.
Matches for HN or LW?
We know one of them retweeted groypers as well.
Good point, had not even thought of that. Shows how badly they are at understanding the people they are against. Reminds me how they went, a while back going after the military for actually reading the 'woke' literature. Only the military was doing it explicitly so they would understand their enemies, so they could stop them.
