If the USA were still a sane country I would argue that SpaceX’s technology needs to be nationalized so it can be used responsibly for the advancement of humanity, especially the bulk of humanity still living on Earth, not in pursuit of profit and ownership of exoplanetary land grabs while polluting the skies and low-Earth orbit with trash.

Unfortunately in the current political reality it seems the opposite is happening, and SpaceX is going to corporatize the nation instead, and then move on to setting up the TechBros as the emperors of the solar system. I don’t think this is an accident, I think they saw the writing on the wall and realized they had to strike first.

You are, for all-intensive purposes, correct.

Or at least, if you rage quit doesn’t there have to be some rage?

Oh, there is. You feel the rage internally, but you would never give anyone else the satisfaction of seeing you rage. You save the rage until after the quit and then you rage in privacy. I’ve ragequit many a thing. I am very experienced at this.

No he’s admitted it, although he claims he has a prescription and it’s for depression.

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride

Yeah he’s got some serious abusive spouse energy going on at times with all the emotional whiplash. Beats the shit out of you and then “aww baby, come on, you know I love you” then beats you some more.

I guess they ran out of Public Integrity to report on, there’s none left.

Who would’ve ever thought we would’ve ever needed something like this. I am glad my veteran father never lived to see this happen, it would’ve broken him. This is what he fought against.

Lots of leopards eating people’s faces these days. Probably shouldn’t have voted for the leopards eating people’s faces party.

Sometimes doing something illegal is anti-social behavior. Sometimes it’s anti-authoritarian behavior. These are not the same thing.

Violence is an intrinsic part of fascism. It is the inevitable consequence of “might makes right”. Be prepared for a lot more violence. Probably on both sides.

The user is also a Russian propaganda outlet, probably.

“I used to think the complete breakdown of laws, government and society was just funny when was only happening on TV! I never thought it would happen in my town! This is outrageous!” --Person outraged about 50 years too late.

They … rejected … anti-DEI … making them … pro-DEI … and anti-Trump? Am I getting that right? Sorry, there are just getting to be a lot of double-negatives these days it’s hard to keep track.

Prepare to defend your way of life then, if necessary with violent resistance. We in Canada certainly are. I still hear an awful lot of passive voice “do not support” and “wish it were not true” and “don’t know what to do” comments from down there. Everyone seems awfully reluctant to admit to themselves how badly fucked up this actually is. I think you guys need to accept how serious this is, organize, and get really, really active. Or not. It’s your country. I’ll be defending mine though, so maybe I’ll see you on the battlefield.

That certainly won’t keep Canada safe. There are lots of brown people in Canada. We are a nation of immigrants. (And most of us like it that way)

It’s like people only do things because they get paid, and that’s just really sad

But yeah, our corporate oligarchs and the billionaire class are evil manipulative money-grubbing leeches and we’ve let them run unchecked for way too long.

If you go far enough to the extreme left you eventually meet the extreme right.

That said I’m not sure Gavin Newsom is either one, I think he’s just a coiled up opportunistic predator for any kind of power or influence who uses his snake-like backbone to quickly bend whatever way his prey seems to be going.

Screw them! We’ll build our own peertube, with blackjack, and hookers

As someone in Southern Ontario I want you guys to know that if there’s anything we can do to help you get rid of the vicious cheeto-in-chief we’ve got your back. Feel free to “blame Canada!” if it helps that cause, but we’re going to stand up to him, and you guys should too. We’ll help any way we can. This is unacceptable.
