As far as we can tell, these moms are indeed NOT responsible for the autism of their kids. As our society allows to care and accommodate for individuals who may or may not have issues integrating socially, autism is not negatively selected for and therefore individuals affected are only selected against on a sexual level if at all.

That means: These moms blame anything but the chance of their genetics, in consequence believing fascist ideas of a lost golden past that must be achieved again by ousting demonized parts of society.

Unwanted resisting individuals have already received threatening mail to leave the US even as natural citizens. They have changed it already. It is happening right now.

that’s a matter of years, at best. Lutnick is just lying to appease the MAGA base.

Yeah. Insider trading.

There is yet another dimension to this apparently: China has implemented new regulations regarding the export of their rare earth materials. Basically all high tech materials need these and the US has no alternative for some of these as China holds the de facto monopoly.

Most people do not care if some corrupt politician whose activities seem inconsequential to their own circumstances is getting away. It needs to affect them in a tangible way for people to care.

You cannot be that ignorant. ‘Made in X’ in a such globalized and distributed economy is nothing but a matter of tax design.

Well well well, if that isn’t the consequences of your choices coming around to bite you in the ass. I am well aware that the individuals suffering are not individually to be blamed but I have zero sympathy in this particular case.

That is correct. But in this case, we can absolutely blame a specific part of humanity for this.

Read the story. Waltz set parts of the messages to be deleted after a certain time period. That by itself is illegal as hell and does indeed pertain to record keeping requirements and down the line FOIA requests.

If it was only that easy. The quasi-religious convictions that Musk specifically holds in regards to Longtermism go ideologically deeper than just lust for power. Why do you think he still propagates his unrealistic ideas about spearheading a mars colonization?

Greed everybody can understand and reckon with. These ridiculous ideas make people do unintelligible things.

Yes. And yet, they used the same concept to justify their grasp for power.

The important part to understand is the paranoid style of the appeal. It’s not an appeal to unity. It’s one to vigilance.

I would disagree on your Musk-analysis. He and the other techbros are not after the money but after the power and influence that being in these positions nets them. The monetary gain is a side-effect. The goal is to enforce their unrealistic ideas about how to reshape society. Look up ‘Longtermism’ and the ridiculous ideas of one Curtis Yarvin. Remember MAGAts are fond of yammering about the World Economic Forum and the Gates, Soros etc? How these are supposedly trying to reshape society into some big brother-esque dystopia?

That is what the tech-oligarchs are facilitating.

Oh you mean ignoring the rule of law makes the judicative branch irrelevant? Who would’ve thonk.

That shit already started with Washington, the first american conspiracy theorist poisoning the ideological well of the nascent country by cautioning against enemies from within and without trying to undo the country instead of appealing to the coherence of a newly forming society.

While I get the cynicism, it’s not like there are no means to stall a possibly illegal practice until a proper ruling has been done. The judicative branch isn’t entirely toothless and isn’t ignorant of the reality of time-sensitivity.

In case you missed it: most of the people crying about their 2nd amendment rights and duties are the people that applaud this. The rest is aware that making use of their right would mean a civil war with former group.

It didn’t come out of nowhere and it isn’t surprising. It’s part of the fascist playbook to demonize that which they cannot subordinate to their cult of machismo and their fairytale of a golden past.

This is the true face of Musk, who is stuck perpetually in the mindset of a melodramatic 15 y/o.

Your paranoia seems lamentable as I take it that you confuse me with your interlocutor. I was hoping that you would expand on your position in a less heated side-conversation. Apparently that hope was in vain. Good luck on your crusade to educate the renitent.
