Then I recommend caution when comparing the Democrat establishment's ℵ₀ level of corruption with the Trump crowd's ℵ₁ level of corruption, which is infinitely worse.
(You're capable of making that distinction, so take care not to give those who can't distinguish degrees of corruption the impression that they're the same.)

@freemo
There's a huge difference between an old apparatchik and a psychopathic loose cannon (Biden and Trump, respectively).

Also, other senior apparatchiks in the US Military Industrial Complex, e.g., Chairman of the JCOS Gen Milley, seem to have prevented worse already at the end of Trump's presidency.
Another Trump administration may replace these Generals by the equivalent of Lakeitels.

@freemo Since when is Biden "left"?
He isn't an overt, in-your-face fascist who wants to subvert or outright destroy the United States as we know them,
but that's about all he has going for him.

Interessant ist, dass Heinlein über die Arbeitsbedingungen der Katapultstartfirma (LuNoHoCo) und von Selene Associates nicht allzu viele Worte verliert.
Dass Arbeiter am zweiten Katapult als Mittel zum Zweck, die die Revolutionären Zellen beliebig täuschen können, gesehen werden, kommt dann doch durch.
Erinnert an Elon Musks Geschäftsgebaren. Wo der das wohl her hat?

The building is still there, but labeled as "abandoned".
Is that what you intended?

As it happens, I sent Boris Palmer a trick cheque for his mayoral campaign, and I used the geometrical progression of a very bad joke that originated in 1935, by geometrically progressing 𝑒𝑥 𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑒 from Halbdackel
[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbdackel]
to 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘀dackel.

I even reserved some space in an iron cage for Boris Palmer on the facade of Tübingen City Hall, in the tradition of Württemberg's Oppenheimer
(There are at least two movies about the Württemberg Oppenheimer, too.)
Technically, the cage is too small for a person, but with Boris Palmer being a Viertelsdackel, once you quarter him, the offending quarter would fit nicely.

That joke would become 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦
funny if the very same obnoxiously stupid people
that Mike mentions in TMIAHM,
who accuse Boris Palmer of antisemitism
to mob this smartass out of their idiocracy of a Green Party
find out what the cage reserved for Palmer is all about, and form an Awareness Team to raise a shitstorm to cancel this geometrical progression joke.

Zum Humorverständis-Vergleich meine erste Frage an ChatGPT3
(hat Natascha Strobl verstanden, fand den Witz aber gar nicht lustig):

Butler vs. Bannon

If Judith Butler didn't exist, Steve Bannon would have had to invent her. Explain why.

ChatGPT:

This statement is a reference to Judith Butler, a prominent philosopher and gender theorist, and Steve Bannon, a political strategist and former advisor to Donald Trump. The statement suggests that Bannon, who is known for his far-right political views, would have created Butler if she didn't already exist, in order to serve as a target for his political attacks.

Bannon has a history of targeting left-leaning intellectuals and academics as part of his political strategy, and Judith Butler is one of his most frequent targets. Butler's work, which includes critiques of gender norms and the construction of identity, has been used by Bannon and others on the right as an example of supposed "cultural Marxism" and a threat to traditional values and institutions.

In other words, the statement suggests that Butler's work has become a convenient target for Bannon and other right-wing figures, who use it to rally their base and demonize their opponents. If Butler did not exist, Bannon would have had to create someone like her in order to continue this narrative and maintain his political power.

"Jokes?" he asked.

"Let's hear one."

"Why is a laser beam like a goldfish?"

Mike knew about lasers but where would he have seen goldfish? Oh,
he had undoubtedly seen flicks of them and, were I foolish enough to ask,
could spew forth thousands of words. "I give up."

His lights rippled. "Because neither one can whistle."
