I'm old enough to remember when electric cars were a dream of the left. Elon bet his fortune, made it real, and built the best-selling car on the planet. Their thanks? "Arrest @elonmusk . Seize his factories."
When the Shuttle retired in 2011, America had to pay Russia to fly our astronauts to space, up to $90M a seat. SpaceX ended that in 2020, and now launches more than half the world's rockets with nearly 10,000 Starlink satellites overhead.
He's rich because he took risks nobody else would and pushed America forward. That's the American story. The ideology they're pushing makes sure it never happens again. You can't hate the builders and expect anything to get built.
It's not fascism, it's socialism. Simple way to tell them apart:
Socialism: the government takes the factory.
Fascism: you keep the factory, but the government tells you what to make, and a strongman runs the country.
"Seize his factories, nationalize SpaceX" is the first one.
And it didn't come out of nowhere. Over the past decade the left went from Bernie, to AOC, to BLM, covid mandates, "Free Palestine" and antifa. Now a DSA member runs New York City. DSA's own platform calls for public ownership of major corporations and ending capitalism, and there's an openly Marxist-Leninist caucus inside it. Parts of this movement now cheer for groups like Hamas and regimes like Iran that abuse women and gay people, the same groups the left claims to champion. This isn't the fringe anymore. The modern left is Marxist at heart. Marx himself called socialism the first stage of communism. You have to see these movements on a higher time frame and understand how they evolve.
Where you're right is the "arrest Elon" part. Jailing people you disagree with is authoritarian, and both extremes do it: communists in the name of the workers, fascists in the name of the nation.
Communist regimes are estimated to have killed up to 100 million people. We’re all aware of the dangers of fascism, but people need to understand dangers of Communism/Marxist theory better.
I’m still shocked people voted for this again, but I’m starting to realize they don’t really understand what they voted for, but they will feel it. Unfortunately to learn a lesson the hard way but what happens when you don’t study history & those lessons.

The reason communism never dies is because envy never dies, and communism is little more than the politics of resentment - it is the desire to take from others and give to yourself, because you believe they have too much when you don’t have enough. It is really this simple.

Sad state when political office is used to target opponents. History shows the ‘toss subpoenas like confetti’ approach usually starts as accountability and ends as a tool to silence dissent. This is a pattern that shows up repeatedly under socialist and Marxist regimes.
If you voted blue out of protest got a feeling you’re really going to regret that. One of the worst things you could do for humanity is call to nationalize space x. There’s a reason it took a private individual & private company to get us back to space.
same for the calls to stop progress in AI. Not sure what it’s going to take to realize democrats are anti-progress & anti-western ideals

🚨 BREAKING: PHP is warning admins to prepare for emergency security updates tomorrow to fix two critical vulnerabilities rated CVSS 9.2.
However, security researchers at @watchtowrcyber rate the flaws CVSS 10.0 and say they are RCE vulnerabilities affecting PHP 5 through 8.
Information about the vulnerabilities has reportedly leaked ahead of disclosure.
No known exploitation in the wild.

Pneumonic plague incubates in 1–3 days. She died Oct 2. The window for contacts falling sick has basically closed.
Zero secondary cases. Contacts testing negative.
Plague is also curable with doxycycline if caught early.
Russias institutional response is usually to over react & control information. Hard to read into that.
An engineered pan-resistant strain that got loose in a hospital would be showing itself by now.

Woah, this is way better than mine:
- Crossplay with PC games
- Server browser
- HD graphics at 100FPS
Very nice
Inspired by @mitchellhynes' original work, I spent the weekend getting Halo 1 working in the web browser.
We live in an incredible time where all software is malleable and anything is possible. It's incredible to see what the open source community can do, and it's only going to get wilder from here on out
