FTFY

They don’t hate them. They just want to cut all support for citizens to have more money available to finance more tax cuts for rich people.

But to do this you need to somehow convince the masses that money spend on them is a bad thing. For decades trickle-down fairy tales of how spending money on the already rich ones will help the economy and then be beneficial for all worked. But not anymore. So the next phase in desinforming gullible voters is much more dystopian and involves straight out brain-washing to decouple them from reality and make them believe that people actually helping them are evil and need to be fought.

With nuclear, you’ve got a raging anti-nuclear crowd.

No. With nuclear you have very real unmitigatable risks and very real insanely high costs. Which also don’t solve anything as nuclear production isn’t fitting demand fluctuations either, so you still need mass storage (or waste overproduction 90% of the time, combined with already insane costs).

The raging crowd is the pro-nuclear cult on social media that ignores reality and sputters sci-fi fairy tales all day long in the name of their savior.

Bigotry is illogical

Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf…

So this is what happens when a Fiat Multipla develops into its final form in all its glorious ugliness…

Depends on the intended effect… I personally see this as just one single piece in a big wave of equally dilettante articles used to convey one message to the caual reader: that 3d printing is bad, dangerous and needs to be regulated.

And we all know who’s willing to pay money to push that story…

And just lke with the war on drugs, countries will realize it’s a lost cause. And will then instead try to coopt the system to spread their own desinformation. If you can’t win, exploit it for your own gains…

Welcome to our wonderful post-factual age.

Cuddling up to the hard right might look like a strategical move but it never works. Normalising them only shifts the discussion further to the right. And let’s face it… in this post-factual time where all that matters is the narratives, giving them a platform will only help to brain-wash more people into believing right-wing fake-solutions to actual problems.

No… the Crowdstrike debacle primarily shows the dangers of today’s corporate culture in software development.

Ship as fast as possible, fix issues later if necessary…

But they don’t. I mean call for him to step back, not having a plan (which they probably also don’t have).

This is a massive campaign of media bullshitting (like in this case where you can try to find that statement from Obama, when in reality the best you will get is that someone said someone else told them that Obama had said this in private…). I guess a shitshow incarnate as Trump would just fit today’s media operation of enragement farming and doom scrolling much better and who would ever look further than to their next bottom line.

Yeah, why would you try to actually solve a problem instead of just applying a band-aid that the next administration can rip of again (by incresing the size of the court again)?

“More Tech and Venture Capital Execs Are Coming Out as MAGA Believers of Tax Cuts, Deregulation and Corruption”

Fixed that headline…

Yes, there is.

Should XY be tagged as NSFW is not asking about if the tag should exist on certain topics (that’s indeed something you can ignore with your own settings) but about if people should be forced to flag stuff as NSFW. And I refuse to tag stuff as NSFW just because I can imagine someone, somehow, in some rare context wanting that tag. Because by then it lost all meaning and we should do an “Yes this is safe for 4 years olds”-tag instead.
