Comment on Russia’s Starlink use sparks probe into SpaceX compliance with US sanctions
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 8 months agoYou are swimming upstream on this one. People know what they were told by biased headlines on Reddit last summer and they don’t want to hear anything else.
What’s happening right now with Russian forces using Starlink is precisely why SL had the service disabled in the occupied territories and near the front lines in the first place!

Only dead fish swim with the current.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, I give you that. For many people the entire “Elon Musk is Russian asset” narrative is build on this specific event and then any further findings that seem to support this are added on top of it. If a person believing in this narrative would then aknowledge that they were wrong about this one it removes the entire foundation from said belief and it all comes crashing down. It’s no wonder that it causes major cognitive dissonance on people and they then do all kinds of mental gymnastics to hold on to their false beliefs.

Musk is an immature asshole with a Billionaire lifestyle. He was still everybody’s darling, even while playing an IRL Tony Stark, right up until he started working against the agenda of the TOOLs. (Terminally Online and Outraged Leftists).
I’m neither Republican nor Conservative but dealing with the TOOLs that are clogging up every single Online space is exhausting.
