  • Yeah I don't understand those people's perspectives. For the last 80 years, the US has built a world that revolves around its currency, its military, its culture, benefiting from it all.

    Then you have brainwashed conservatives not realizing this fact, and somehow coming to the conclusion the US is this underdog, this taken advantage of nation. Who exactly is ripping the US off and how??

  • Yeah, it may hurt more in the short term than just accepting the American tariffs meekly, but it's the right thing to do to stand up to this American insanity. Just accepting Trump's bullying doesn't fix anything at all.

  • Honestly given current technology, it makes the most sense to care for the Earth than attempt to colonize other planets, which are fundamentally unlivable in a myriad of ways. Survival of our species doesn't mean a whole lot if it is 8 guys in a Mars base dependent on regular supply missions from Earth.

    Not to mention, if we do focus on our planet and how to best manage the environment, it teaches lessons on how to potentially manage other planets' one day.

  • Yeah, the Starship was severely over-promised from the start, especially the payload capacity. I wish there had been more required demonstrations from the beginning, instead of just using the numbers promised by Musk, who is known to inflate numbers for marketing purposes.

    Not to mention the assumption of orbital fuelling working perfectly without even doing any demonstrations at all or pointing to any existing technologies. It's a very Kerbal Space Program idea but significantly more complex in reality. Especially as now they are planning 5+ refuelling missions per Starship going to the Moon, which is logistically baffling.

  • Accelerationism doesn't even make sense at the moment, if a revolution breaks out, it will be a free-for-all, with different groups trying to claim all the power. And judging by the results of the election, the majority of Americans either fully support or are fine with fascists winning. The working class has to be educated, has to have their consciousness built up before a revolution can actually go communist, otherwise you just end up with populism and fascism. It's very shortsighted thinking.

  • Exactly this. The average leftist can talk for ages about how Harris has to 'earn their vote' but at the end of the day you vote for the political party you have, not the one you want. The fact Trump won the popular vote is shameful on the part of the US left. Voter suppression definitely played a part but the lack of urgency, the constant infighting and demands for Harris to appeal more to them absolutely did not help matters.

  • Absolutely. The way he talks too, he uses this flowery, overly technical language you usually only use when talking to engineers or technical people. It's purely an attempt to confuse and sound smart, as any engineer worth their salt will tailor their language to their audience.
