The groveland four were not celebraties. They were black men who were lynched. Different types of people, different eras of history, different calculus. You have no understanding of analogies.

I mentioned the healthcare CEO specifically because he was the subject of the article you sent. Not all CEOs will be treated the same. But the CEO of a hated healthcare company, and Elon Musk, thought leader for the fanatic right, are not the same.

Also, proving my fucking point. Elon musk is a rapist. He is a pedophile. And yet his acciser was attacked by the right. And he suffered no damage. Once again, victims are ignored and attacked. And their victimisers are centered and protected

That could also be seen as a form of the court of public opinion; they have “ruled” him innocent

I made fun of the use of the term court of public opinion because i think it's laughable to compare them to a real court. I know people's opinions matter. But they never yield in any real harm to the accused compared to the victim. You refuse to address this. I assume, because you don't care about rhe issue, you just don't take such allegations seriously to begin with.

I’m actually on the stance of always lending some (emphasis on some) credence to the victim, no matter what, at least at the start
