Just curious, inquisitive and fascinated 🤔 Always remember the media: Is not an official authority on ANYTHING. Gives third party perspective on EVERYTHING.
What ridiculous ahistorical snobbery.
Teddy Roosevelt was one of America's greatest presidents and he regularly staged combat sports at the White House, even fighting in boxing matches and jujitsu. Like Donald Trump, he saw physical courage and tough competition as virtues intrinsic to America. The sneering of Dems and effete broadsheet journalists reveals their pusillanimity, not the sophistication they imagine. How embarrassing for them.
@Sassafrass_84@SinnerOnPC 22? If she had her own home or apartment she’d be cleaning her own stuff anyway. If she went to bed then leave it for her to clean later. I get it though. I would want to be the good mom and clean up for her too. 🏆
So important. All true. Read and listen to SEVERAL sides and opposing viewpoints. Don’t take the word of what sounds good or established media orgs. They are a business and out to make money. And to spread their will as well. Propaganda.
The number one lesson taught in public school is that truth comes from authority, and the problem with that is propaganda also comes from authority. Take away a person’s ability to discern, and they could be lead to any conclusion.
This is because your sports team won? No. It’s because once you teach animals they can get away with whatever, they do it over and over and over again.
Editorial: "The DSA is exploiting Mamdani’s mayoralty for a stealth revolution"
Excerpts:
For all his smiling charms, Mamdani is the willing tool of a movement running a very old and ugly playbook — radicals not only determined to take over the Democratic Party, but to wield state power, in this case the government of NYC, as a Socialist tool.
Start with his Office of Community Engagement — which is already costing taxpayers $53 million, a full 10 times the advertised level.
The OCE is a DSA agitprop shop, pure and simple.
Witness Mamdani’s housing plan, which quite literally aims to expropriate the property of his class enemies — in this case, mom-and-pop property owners — and hand their buildings over to nonprofits run by the politically connected.
No matter that nonprofit-run housing has failed for decades to deliver for tenants; it’s a success for the nonprofits themselves, and those who run them.
His push for “free” 2K seats for NYC toddlers is spending $73 million for 2,000 seats — $36,500 per kid, 50% higher than what a private day care would cost.
Why not simply give those big bucks to parents as vouchers for private day care?
Because they’re not run by members of the politically connected nonprofit-industrial complex, ready allies of the socialists’ agenda.

For the record.
SpaceX, Hayek, and the Progressive War on Wealth Creation
The progressive left clings to the fantasy that wealth is manufactured by the state and its pet technocrats rather than by entrepreneurs who risk their own capital to create real value.
In their mythology, government planners are the heroic “designers” of prosperity, while the private sector is a problem to be taxed, regulated, and morally lectured. As Hayek warned, “the more the state ‘plans’ the more difficult planning becomes for the individual,” and progressives are determined to make individual planning all but impossible.
Their entire project rests on a basic fraud, confusing redistribution with creation. Social-democratic and socialist progressives boast about “fairness” and “equity,” but their toolkit is nothing more than confiscation and reallocation, slicing the same pie thinner while pretending they’ve baked a new one.
Hayek’s point that “there is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal” goes straight over their heads, they weaponize the latter to justify endless expropriation from those who actually produce.
The manufactured outrage on the progressive left over the SpaceX IPO is not about fraud, abuse, or failure, it is about their ongoing indoctrination campaign to portray success, risk-taking, and genuine wealth creation as moral crimes. A private company goes from “10 percent chance of success” to one of the most valuable enterprises on earth, and their instinctive response is not admiration or curiosity, but rage that such achievement is even allowed to exist. They see Elon Musk’s trillionaire status not as the byproduct of extraordinary innovation and execution, but as a kind of cosmic theft that must be punished by the tax state.
This is entirely consistent with the broader progressive project, socialize resentment, demonize entrepreneurial gains, and condition the public to believe that any concentration of wealth outside the state is inherently illegitimate. Hayek saw this coming decades ago when he warned that central planning steadily erodes the scope for individual initiative, because the logical end of their ideology is a public that no longer dares to think in terms of independent ambition or long-term wealth building. Progressive leaders feed this mindset daily, insisting that “rigged” markets and “oligarchs” are the problem, while cleverly leaving the state, and its favored constituencies, as the only acceptable repositories of power and resources.
Their reaction to SpaceX is a case study in this pathology. A company that has slashed launch costs, expanded human access to space, and built critical strategic infrastructure is reduced in their rhetoric to a symbol of “inequality” and “greed,” precisely because it exposes how much more effective decentralized, risk-taking capital can be than bureaucratic planning. The message encoded in their fury is clear, do not build, do not risk, do not aspire, unless it is under the watchful, confiscatory eye of the state.

Was die meisten schon wieder vergessen haben:
2021 hat Elon Musk den Vereinten Nationen angeboten, für die Beendigung des Welthungers mit dem Verkauf eines Teils seiner Tesla-Aktien zu zahlen.
Die einzige Bedingung: Die Vereinten Nationen legen transparent offen, wie genau dieser Betrag den Welthunger beenden würde und wie die Mittel eingesetzt werden.
Natürlich haben die Vereinten Nationen das Angebot nicht angenommen. Sie hätten nämlich erklären müssen, wie es sein kann, dass seit den 1950er Jahren 2 BILLIONEN DOLLAR an „Entwicklungshilfen“ nach Afrika geflossen sind, sich aber in all den Jahren nichts zum Besseren entwickelt hat.
Das Problem ist nicht Elon Musk.
Das Problem sind korrupte Politiker, die dir sagen, dass Elon Musk das Problem wäre.
