Now I want to start a political discussion in the steam thread and a games discussion in the political cartoons thread.

Do we even have any remaining mods that would be bothered by either?

No, he founded SpaceX and Tesla. Maybe you're thinking of the fact that he bought SolarCity because he wanted to integrate their battery tech with Tesla?

He literally founded SpaceX to spite the Russians, who he felt were trying to gouge him on rockets. SpaceX's medium-term plan is to expand the launch market by making it more affordable (and to undercut the Russian market), and their slightly-longer-than-medium-term plan is to deploy a massive constellation of internet satellites into low Earth orbit. I can't overstate what a boon for humanity that would be, it's an era-demarcating infrastructure project. Even ignoring the freedom of speech thing, access to internet banking would revolutionize the lives of people who don't even have roads.

Musk is a huge nerd and the hyperloop is dumb as gently caress, but he's absolutely not a corporate parasite like you're saying. He's good & cool.

Elon Musk is directly working with Trump. He's a piece of poo poo. And he did not found Tesla.

quote:

Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning who financed the company until the Series A round of funding.[43]

He bought into Tesla during their series A.

I really like that Trump's Very Long Tie has become a gag in cartoons now. He's less scary when you think of him as a child playing presidential dress-up with daddy's tie.

Keeping calm is for when your country is under attack by bombs and stuff from a foreign country, not when there is a cancer inside your society.

No, it's for when the Nazis have taken over. That poster was designed for an axis occupation of Britain, and was put up in Torquee.

That's why it's keep calm and not get mad. Getting mad under nazi occupation means a lot of late night deaths.

I don't think that's what it's saying. I think it's just "being divided is bad." The wall around all borders, not just the one with Mexico, makes me think this is not pro-Trump.

If we don't have a wall around all borders, including the coasts, how can we be assured of our safety in the case of a kaiju attack?

I hate the mentality of "everyone hates me so I must be doing SOMETHING right! :smuggo:" that goes hand in hand these days with "I upset/offended someone, that proves I'm right!"
Everyone hates cancer, smallpox, and Hitler too, you waste of paper.

World Famous W posted:

"I don't know, have you stopped being one?"
Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Post-election there's few things that get me angry like people going "well I voted for Trump because I'm sick of being called a racist!" Like how much of a loving racist are you to get called that on the regular anyway? I guarantee it's not just because you're white.
These are people who realize they're being called racist and don't like it, but their solution is not to look inside themselves and try to become better people, even if they don't like what they find -- it's to just tell everyone calling them that to shut up. With political backing, if necessary.
We don't need to get rid of racism, we just need to get rid of people who point it out!

The overall story of the album is about a musician who's kind of a trainwreck of a person and ends up becoming a Fascist. The hammers are from songs/scenes were he starts using his concerts as rallies to start riots.
