@Kanthan2030 you are an ignorant on Venezuela . Whatever credibility you had on other issues lose value with your takes on Venezuela . I live in Venezuela .
@Kanthan2030 you seem to be well informed on China and USA external policy and history . But your takes on Venezuela are completely wrong . Maduro and his Allie’s are crooks , corrupt , inmoral. They are trying to steal the election .
I’m 100% in support of adults pursuing whatever gender they please, by whatever means they like.
More power to you!
However, we will look back at this time, when doctors and “professionals” pressured parents to perform surgery and give hormones to *children*, with great shame and regret.
The detransition stories are just starting, and they are devastating.
These stories always include the parents and children being bullied into making irreversible decisions.
They make decisions they don’t fully understand but are told will solve a complex problem. However, in most cases, this “problem” is solved best with love, compassion, counseling, and time.
Adolescence is challenging 100% of the time, as we all have experienced.
Imagine your darkest and most confusing moment as a teenager. Now, imagine a group of authorities telling you that your gender confusion causes all your pain and that you can solve all of that pain with surgery and hormones.
Now imagine the state of California acting to hide this child’s struggle from their parents — and then pursuing a gender transition covertly with the child.
That is the crime that is happening right now.
We don’t let kids smoke vapes or drink until they are fully informed of the ramifications of those decisions as adults — yet we put them on puberty blockers and have them do surgery to change their gender as teenagers?
What is the rush?
There isn’t one, so they tell the parents, “Your child will kill themselves if they don’t transition.”
This is pure evil.
There are no parents who agree with this, there are only bullied and confused parents… and that needs to end now.
I say this with unlimited compassion and love for any child or family dealing with gender dysphoria.
Please speak up parents.
Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and David Sacks discuss the growing risk of World War 3, calling on world leaders to prioritize peace, diplomacy, and cooperation to avert a looming catastrophe.
@elonmusk: "We're sleepwalking our way into World War 3."
@VivekGRamaswamy: "Once you explain to people that this is not anti-Ukraine or anti-Israel, but this is a pro-American or even, as Elon put it, a pro-civilizational view to keep us out of World War 3..."
@DavidSacks: "This is why we need fresh thinking and leadership in Washington. People who've been there for 30+ years don't realize the world has changed. We're not in the unipolar moment anymore, and the people who developed all their political instincts during that moment have failed to grasp how the world has changed."
@elonmusk: "A combination of Russia, China, and Iran should be viewed as very strong relative to the West... The potential here isn't a small battle. It is a massive battle where the industrial capacity is of comparable size to the Western alliances... We do not have an overwhelming advantage in industrial might, and the foundation of war is economic power, especially industrial output...
@VivekGRamaswamy: "When you look at Russia's hypersonic missile capabilities and nuclear capabilities, both of which are ahead of ours, China's naval capacity, which arguably is ahead of ours, combined with our economic dependence on China, combined with tallying up the Western allies versus this alternative alliance between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, I think it's important for people to understand that the US homeland is as vulnerable as we have been in modern memory."
@elonmusk: "Unfortunately, our policy has been forcing Russia and Iran to ally with China. It's been forcing them. What choice have we given them? And so, Russia has the raw materials, and China has the industrial capacity, frankly, a perfect match from a war standpoint. So we need to stop doing that. It's unwise, and I think it will lead to immense risk to civilization... We need to make sure we are not putting civilization itself at risk, which is World War 3."
@DavidSacks: "You know, it's funny, in the VC world where we operate, track record is all important. When you assess whether an investor is good at their job or not, the first thing you look at is track record. But in international relations, there seems to be no concept of a track record."
