So many terrible things are happening, people are overwhelmed and dazed and it's hard to see what is Kakistocracy and what is Kleptocracy / disaster capitalism. It's both and part of the strategy of course.
The only rational US news would be a call for revolution and overthrow of the regime. Any other news are therefor irrational and add to the confusion. Hence the confusion.
About your example: You know you could "rightfully" call out all the US mainstream news papers US imperialist and fascist propaganda and owned by the oligarchs? And then endlessly repeat that.
So "just asking" why anybody would read any article that is obviously from another geopolitical rival is "just presuming" that US news papers are neutral and trustworthy in comparison. And that is fascist speech which is fascist recruitment. Parsing RT doesn't make you pro-Russia.
I think that is their main feature. To cut off the fringes of leftism and socialist ideas so it has a nice round and smooth bottom
Oh right... Elon gets rid of all the competition and space startups that rely on NASA outsourcing their rockets, while he maintains his contracts they go bankrupt. Holy shit.
I assumed it was something like a pig butchering crypto scam.
No info on the possible cause for the crash?
Criminal negligence. Really it's murder though.
The extra stupid thing is that they'll probably won't save anything in the next 4 years anyways with how long timelines are for space planning. They'll just waste an incredible amount of investment. This is just such petty and cruel retaliation against anything related to climate science.
They just enjoy smashing stuff others value for no reason.
Just to play devil's advocate: Make a Disney movie where it's a bomb sniffing dog who gets separated from his handler and then runs all the way back to America to find her again. How could anybody be against such a heartfelt story about bomb disposal? Woof woof!
That's a very good take too. I just saw this video Why Justice for Ukraine AND Russia Goes Through South Africa which has another interesting take - that admission of guilt and confessing the truth towards the victim is sometimes better for reconciliation than a trial that is about the court prosecuting and the accused defending, denying and finding excuses. But I doubt that either is realistic in the near future.
It's sort of surprising that this article gets so much backlash, since it's just a rehash of the NYT article with a more critical analysis of the historical facts. And those facts aren't even really something new - at least it was all suspected, now a bit more confirmed, or something the mainstream would see as problematic.
But I guess they can't attack the facts presented by the venerable NYT so they take it out on the "far left" and "fringe" Aaron Mate.
At this point, I just want to see China arming Panama or Mexico or Venezuela to the hilt with modern weaponry, missiles and drones, and then when the USA invades them helps with constant logistics and satellite information of "points of interests". We'll see how the whole mainstream would defend this because they just had to liberate the poor people oppressed by those regimes there. That would be the equivalent to what the US, Nato and EU have been doing. Although I doubt China has any interest in such funny games.
Ah thank you for prefacing it with this. We can't even appear too not look down on and condemn China.
Thank you for first bashing China with a club, then offering them a lollipop. It's truly morally outstanding of you.
The very essence of US imperialist power, the "American Exceptionalism" and inherent superiority of our values must never be questioned. We might be a bully, but it's just a phase currently and soon we will return to our way of benevolence interventionism.
