Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
Aquí nadie discute la calidad de Argentina, ni la grandeza de Messi, ni que sean campeones del mundo. Eso no está en discusión.
Lo que sí está en discusión es el arbitraje y el VAR.
A Egipto le anulan un gol retrocediendo varias acciones para encontrar una falta anterior. Perfecto: si ese es el criterio, entonces debe aplicarse para los dos equipos.
Pero antes del tercer gol argentino, Egipto reclama una falta en el área argentina. La jugada continúa y Argentina termina marcando. ¿Por qué allí el VAR no actúa con la misma rigurosidad?
Eso es lo que cuestiono: dos jugadas, dos criterios diferentes.
Y cuando estas cosas ocurren en un Mundial, inevitablemente aparecen las sospechas sobre la FIFA y sobre cuánto puede influir el VAR en el desarrollo del fútbol.
Argentina no necesita favores. Tiene fútbol, jugadores y calidad suficiente para ganar por sí misma.
Pero el fútbol se decide por detalles, y hoy los detalles arbitrales generan demasiadas preguntas.
Egipto hizo un partido extraordinario. Fue superior durante grandes momentos y obligó a Argentina a sufrir hasta el final.
Los goles argentinos pueden ser legítimos y bien ejecutados, pero eso no elimina la pregunta principal:
¿Por qué el VAR aplicó un criterio para Egipto y otro para Argentina? El fútbol necesita una sola vara para todos.
Porque cuando la tecnología deja de dar certezas y comienza a generar sospechas, el que pierde no es solamente Egipto. Pierde el fútbol.
@gerrylum2 Here. It also makes me very defensive of my car I don’t want to have it damaged insurance could never get you FSD back. I t would be a huge loss.
En 1994, ces trois Norvégiens ont disputé la Coupe du monde aux États-Unis.
Trente-deux ans plus tard, les fils de ces trois anciennes stars participent eux aussi à cette Coupe du monde !
@PlayBracco Silly rabbit you don’t use your arms in soccer unless you’re a goalie. Maybe a little for balance and to foul and grab shirts. What a wuss if he can’t play honestly.
Norway touches the ball: no VAR, no chip/snickometer, penalty for Brazil. 😂
Matanović touches it with a strand of hair: full FIFA damage control unit deployed, goal overturned.
Using technology only when it is convenient to you. FIFA is the biggest corrupt organization ever
I'm sure many people did not see this in real time.
Licha dropping that pass to Messi was planned. Messi is a fucking genius, watch his movements.
He's read the whole C. Verde defence, tells Licha, and they execute it.
Haaland learned from the master
