Here's your reminder that the entire Apollo program, which literally put people on the moon, cost around 25.5 billion dollars and was killed early due to congressional whining about pointless waste. Meanwhile the F35 procurement and development is going to cost over 1.5 trillion dollars for a plane that barely loving works and whose only purpose is death. And that's just one single boondoggle out of dozens, and that doesn't even get into the tens of trillions being shoveled out to keep number up. The US government is an atrocity of unimaginable scale. :woop:

Yeah these sorts of numbers absolutely fill me with rage slash despair every time I think about them, like, it's in the range of an amount of money that could just 100% solve every social ill we're facing today and have us all living in a literal paradise. You could wipe out climate change within a decade with that sort of money. Funnel even a tenth of it into spaceflight and we're talking about a sum that is on the order of "building the antimatter production infrastructure to send a crewed mission to alpha Centauri at 25% the speed of light"

I can't even think about this it fucks me up so bad. I don't know what I or anyone can do about it. gently caress

It's fun to remember that there's evidence for healed bones in people from paleolithic societies - which means Republicans and anyone else against universal healthcare are, in a quite literal sense, less advanced than cavemen.

I love how the first tweet is like yeah millennials have this noble spark of defiance, and by the third it's just "we still like video games, no you shut the gently caress up dad"

If it even is true that millennials are more likely than other generations to hold onto bits of pop culture from our youth (and considering that one of the biggest media properties in the world is based entirely on nostalgia for a movie from 1977, a decade before most millennials were born, this is debatable), if anything I would call it a trauma response to the realization that the planet is hosed and any attempts to fix it will be violently opposed by the older generations who have hoarded 99% of the wealth and power in the world. Of course we want to escape back to being a kid when we were ignorant of reality and we were allowed to feel happiness without even a tinge of despair or guilt

(Gen Z of course never even got to have that childhood and have always known that everything sucks, so they developed their coping mechanisms early. Lucky bastards)

Imagine having $2.5m to drop and thinking Trump is a good investment.

I kind of feel like in a reasonable society, a group with the stated goal of literally performing a coup by overturning a legitimate election would be branded as terrorists, and anyone donating money to them would be charged with treason

Maybe I'm wrong though idk?

Liberals love to reveal they have no idea how capitalism functions even in the abstract, much less the real world

I don't know if the conflation of "capitalism" with "commerce" was a deliberate and masterful bit of anti-communist propaganda or if it just happened by accident because people are loving dumb, but either way it's probably one of the biggest hurdles in educating people why socialism would actually benefit them.

A lot of people who loudly identified as atheists 10 years ago were mainly doing it because they hate Muslims and thought they could hide behind a smokescreen of "disliking *all* religions".
