You’ve heard of no true Scotsman, well that’s compared to me, the only true Scotsman. Everything I am is all things that are forever and not, therefore the fallacy isn’t.

  • The private luxury real estate market crashed, the only people hurt by this are foreign investors and people dumb enough to copy us strategies to build wealth instead of doing something of value with their lives. No one was made homeless.

    Your second paragraph only affects the private sector, and thats generally true of all private economies right now; China just doesn’t allow their private economy to effect the needs of the people.

    Your third is mostly nonsense as no long term strategies have changed in the last few years except far more talks on whether real estate should be privatized in any way or if the private side of that industry has outlived it’s usefulness; and of course an acceleration of space goals due to the potential for the EU and musk to take all useful leo orbits.











  • Cops have qualified immunity in the US; while there’s a larger legal definition of more or less means a cop that can argue they were acting in good faith can break the law and violate constitutional rights isn’t going to be punished in any meaningful way.

    This is summed up in the very American phrase: you can beat the charge but not the ride. If a cop in the US wants to arrest you, you’re spending at least a night in jail. Charges might get dropped in the morning, you might have a valid lawsuit against the department, you might easily win in court, but you will be going to jail if a cop has decided you will be in jail.

    “lately”? This is foundational to the entirety of left wing thought.

    The left starts at abolition of capitalism and by extension corporate profit. If you disagree with that, you’re simply not left wing in any way, you would be better off in right wing or far right sites like reddit or Facebook. They’re their product of your beliefs, stick to them.


  • It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There’s more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.
