  • It’s the same delusion and corruption from a neoliberal corporate-whore political class that led to every country growing dependent on US tech companies, and Chinese manufacturing. They represent corporations; not their constituents.

    If they’d all committed to open source and domestic companies for support and infra, the compounding effect of tens of thousands of engineers across governments working on linux and other FLOSS products would have made everything significantly cheaper and more efficient for all of them in a matter of years, compared to paying a foreign tech company for everything in perpetuity… and that’s before you consider the multitude of other risks and vulnerabilities to national security.


  • Yeah, that’s just the economics of capitalist dictatorship, where the wealthy write the laws to benefit themselves.

    The problem with Musk much worse than that; he has numerous cases of fraud, corruption and other shady dealings that he has already admitted would have put him in prison if Trump didn’t win and let him gut them via DOGE.

    Then add all the debt recycling where he’s rolled up failed businesses into spacex, and all the dogfooding between like 10 companies who are artificially inflating each others revenues and valuations, and the fact he’s a paper-trillionaire means that this entire pyramid scheme is corrupt as fuck.















  • Your comments are far too arrogant for how completely ignorant they are.

    You wanna know why I believed that America would become a fascist dictatorship 25 years ago? Because of combining my opinion of watching Fox News (considering it to be fascist propaganda) with raw stats, like Fox News being the #1 cable news network, with numerous other opinion polls proving that R’s perception of events were dependent on Fox propaganda, divergent from both reality and D/I opinions of reality. I knew R’s were the most propagandized population in America because other populations opinion polling did not change anywhere near as significantly over time, nor did it mirror the changing narratives of propaganda. These have been reinforced continuously by the vast majority of both polling and other raw stats since then.

    In statistics, all data points are some abstract proxy that attempt to measure reality. They are not reality itself, and none of them can be trusted to provide some end all be all proof of reality. Even math itself is an abstract representation (language) we use to understand and communicate.
