Fucking about:



Finding out:
https://anglican.ink/2025/01/29/calvin- ... l-actions/

At approximately 3:00 pm today (1/29) members of the College of Bishops of the ACC were made aware of a post made on X showing the end of a speech made by Calvin Robinson at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, DC. In it, he closed his comments with a gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute.

While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson’s heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition. Mr. Robinson had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist. Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.

Furthermore, we understand that this is not just an administrative matter. The Holocaust was an episode of unspeakable horror, enacted by a regime of evil men. We condemn Nazi ideology and anti-Semitism in all its forms. And we believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators. Such actions are harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity.

Finally, we pray that God will give us grace to lay aside our unhappy divisions, and we commend our nation and ourselves to his Almighty protection.

The "anti-woke" crowd really are fucking morons.

What's the betting he starts his own church now?

What's the betting he starts his own church now?

Has he created a memecoin yet first?

[ZedLeg]

Apparently the anglican-catholics are the fourth church to kick him out since he started his grifting.

I can’t see him staying in the US tbh. Religion is so racial there and the trad christian sects are mostly lily white.

With USAID it’s personal, they were a significant part of dismantling apartheid in South Africa.

Back on topic I don't wonder if Musk has done substantial long term damage to Tesla and SpaceX. I would hope so, what an delusional despicable mofo.

Tesla yes, and European sales and surveys confirm as much. We'll start to see the effect of that in the coming quarters financial reports. SpaceX not so much because there is no alternative really.

Jan sales figures are already showing substantial drops:

I’d be really interested to see data on the impact on s/h values. I bought a s/h EV last year and I certainly could have bought a s/h Model 3, but I refused to consider it. I’m not the only person making that kind of decision.

Look at the url people...

Astre - Astra - chenica - Zenica - it's AstraZenica - they've put vaccinations in that URL. Don't click it !!

Deep state - false news - Elon is God...

[Mito Man]

Surprised at the sales drop in Germany.

[ZedLeg]

Did you not see the videos of people protesting the AdF going around?

His meddling shite is as unwanted there as anywhere else.

[dinny_g]

AdF...

Defending Freedom by taking away Freedoms we don't agree with...

[Sundayjumper]

Moreso there if anything. Most Germans are very very acutely aware of their country's history and Do Not Want to repeat it. It's the loud morons that get the headlines though.

Side note, something my historian friend is always keen to remind people - after WW2 there was a de-nazification programme in Germany to educate people as to what had been going on. Propaganda had kept a lot of them blissfully ignorant. The same de-nazification did not happen in Austria and even now it often shows.

[Ascender]

Yes, I'm assuming the German drop-off is directly linked to the nazi salute, it's as simple as that. I guess globally the brand has really been suffering in the last 6 months or so and then there's the fact that every month there's a new choice of EV car so its bound to dilute their sales figures.

[ZedLeg]

We should be treating Reform the same here but people apparently haven’t got over the “all opinions are valid” free speech horseshit yet.
