One of the greatest strengths and biggest flaws of the human race is our arrogance. It leads us to great works, but it also leaves us confident in our errors.

If one can achieve the arrogance to believe in your own abilities while remaining in doubt of our certainties we can achieve so much more.

> That's why I am looking at what Musk did as a Nazi salute and what Harris did as not. Who the person is, what they say, who they support, all is important framing as I previously said.

The odd thing is, so am I. LEt me explain my logic:

Of the two Musk is infinitely more likely to be a Nazi than HArris. He may just be nazi like in a some weak ways, maybe he is full on nazi, hard to gauge just how far he is down that scale, but its far enough.

So why dont I think he gave a NAzi salute. Cause he isnt that kind of Dumb.. Trump is tht kind of dumb, if Trump did it i wouldn't even question it. But Musk is snake-smart. He is smart enough to know even if he is a raging Nazi and whats to see the white race destroy all others, he STILL didnt make a purposeful Nazi solute because he has enough brain cells to know that would be death.

Now to be clear I dont think Harris was giving a Nazi solute either (though she is a raging fascist, just not of the Nazi variety). That was just there because hers **looks** far more like a nazi salute, so it is put as a point of absurdity and comparison.

Am I atroll.. I am a trtoll in the sense that i dont give the slightest fuck what someone thinks about me. So I put no effort into "Coming across" one way or another. I know damn well 99% of the small minded people will see what I said, assume I'm a troll and block me. I want that as it gets the toxic people to filter themselves for me, its very intentional. Then the 1% who are left, like you, bother to talk long enough to understand and then realize all it was is that i wasnt putting on airs, it wasnt (*like you probably assumed) some sort of (anti)virtue signaling.

Here is a video showing thousands of people and hitler giving the salute multiple times over. As you can see at no time did any of these people pound their shoulder first? I guess hitler just didnt know how to give his own salute huh?

As much as I hate Trump seeing Biden censor the internet at the government level (basically doing what China does) and then having Trump say he will reverse it... thats a pretty good move to have me believe Trump might have been the lesser of te two evils afterall.

from @freemo conversations in digestible bullet points...

💬 ✒️ Capitalism (free markets), in it's correct meaning, is not a rule so much as an ideological guideline, and in reality should be in a of many things, where is only an of *some* things (not all).

💬 ✒️ We don't live in a country that is a pure capitalism, or even much of a capitalism at all...
Right now we don't have free markets, and that's the point.

💬 ✒️ Not only is it not a free market, but it is quite far away from being one.

All-in- version...

💬 ✒️ We also shouldn't strive for capitalism (free markets) as the default, it's not a rule so much as an ideological guideline, and the reality should be a mix of many things, where capitalism is only an influence.

=====================
3 Capitalism (free markets) Tips:
=====================

☑️ is a way of doing things as a guideline - and not for everything to be done in this way.

☑️ Capitalism isn't a binary word to say government is or isn't Capitalism since it's mixed.

☑️ probably as better word.

as a best word to replace Capitalism maybe.

Capitalism perhaps does not mention the rich explicitly -
specifically the rich is perhaps more what people mean sometimes! 💰 🤑

(Plutocracy = governed by the people)

Perhaps "Capital" in the word also helps people not see or assume centralization rather than the many versions, including Free Market version which is important next to the word as a kind of sub-type of it"

Why do all insects (that I can think of) start their life in a stage that crawls (usually wormlike of some kind) and usually end their lives in a form that can fly. I cant think of any insects that start being able to fly and then their final form is flightless.

Im guess its because the final stage is the stage that mates and flying is critical to mating in some way.

I'm not even sure babylon bee or the onion are satire anymore.

Just had a thought regarding warentless searches of cars...

The automobile search doctrine allows cars to be searched without a warrant so long as there is probable cause and the car is "readily mobile". So if a cop says he is going to search your car, or you think he is about to, and you have something illegal, just slash your tires. Now it is no longer readily mobile and any warentless search would be illegal.

The R̶e̶p̶u̶b̶l̶ #MAGA party has ambitions to achieve #enshittification. All political parties do. This is when two groups that need each other, or think they do, become so dependent on an intermediary between that the intermediary can abuse & exploit both groups. The MAGA party intermediates between the ownership class and the exploited class. They have the exploited class completely bound to them but not so much the ownership class.

That will be ...
