ITT hysteria over food shortages, mocking Americans wanting good wages and wanting the brown wage slaves back in the fields

Theres more in the thread

I'm not used to liberal spaces anymore its weird to see them all mocking Americans for wanting money, advocating for CA separating and valuing illegal immigrants so much.

Personally I only think there will be prices increases on specific crops for now, and if Trump doesn't pull back farmers will just purchase automated picking machines they only didn't before because mexicans were that cheap

He's the only one with the guts to stand up to the military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex and their Illuminati puppet masters who've been keeping humanity in the dark about our true cosmic heritage and the REAL origin of human civilization!!

Why did Elon Musk just say Trump wants to bring two stranded astronauts home?

For reasons that were not immediately clear, SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to his social media site X on Tuesday evening to make a perplexing space-based pronouncement.

"The POTUS has asked SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so," Musk wrote. "Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long."

Now generally, at Ars Technica, it is not our policy to write stories strictly based on things Elon Musk says on X. However, this statement was so declarative, and so consternation-inducing for NASA, it bears a bit of explication.

lmao bullshit, Ars loves to sneed about everything Elon does; it's basically TMZ but only covering Elon.

Foremost, NASA has gone to great lengths to stress that the two astronauts referenced here—Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams—are not stranded on the International Space Station.

The astronauts are clearly stranded as has been covered extensively over the last year by even leftie organisations:

NPR also released an article insisting that the astronauts aren't stranded - https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5278636/iss-astronaut-rescue-spacex-trump:

Ars comments are of course mad:

Why wouldn't the US government want to bring two stranded astronauts home? Why is this the top comment? What are you mad about?

They were meant to be there for eight days. The eighteen month stay was planned.

And yet they're still stranded there, curious. Why don't they just fly back home? They must want to be there.

The bottom two comments - note the guy who's had an account for 17 years.

This reeks of "Freedom Fries."

I thought freedom fries was the dumbest thing i've ever seen out of washington... well until now. 4 more years of this BTW.

Fun fact about World War One, the US started calling Sauerkraut by the name of Liberty Cabbage. We don't have fresh ideas.

The Gulf of Liberty Cabbage

Welp, I know which name I'm going with.

I'm going with Gulf of Mexico, with Gulfy McGulfface being a close second option.

I'm in NZ. Google maps says its Gulf of Mexico (because that's its fricking name).

>Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

>will change

Hopefully, it's only 4 more years.

if we're not in some kinda post apocalyptic scenario in 4 years i'll be pleasantly surprised

That's the shit that has me up all night.. Fricking lunatics have escaped the asylum again, but this time they're prepared. This ain't "Joker 2" muthafricka!

Four years, give or take a /r/collapse

This was only the first week. ugh

4 more years so far...

Yup. Just the first week. Im so sick of the darn trump show and it doesn't seem there is a way to unsubscribe, disconnect, turn the channel, unplug the tv etc. His brand of stupidity is fricking everywhere.

4? Try 8 when vance gets elected

Hopefully you'll still have a country that resembles the US in 4 years.

They ruined the Dixie Chicks' career because they spoke out. Turns out we should trust some musicians for our foreign policy.

Just because some are sometimes right doesn't mean we should generally trust musicians.

The overwhelming majority of musicians are not geopolitics experts, or at all informed on political issues.

The fact that we constantly expect celebrities to chime in on issues they have no expertise in is one of the reasons politics is so toxic and polarised today. It's contributed to the dumbing down of political discourse.

But also, being a musician does not disqualify you from having and expressing political opinions, nor does it guarantee that you are politically illiterate.

The world might be a better place if pop artists were more inclined to sing about politics than vague romantic notions.

real big "shut up and dribble" vibes coming from that dude

: Rich people are out of touch and have no idea about reality or what the common people are going through! Guillotine them all!

: Actually, more celebrities should lecture people on how to be hecking good human beans, after all they all agree with me. Tee hee!

The funny part to me is that "America" isn't even the name of our country, it's the name of the continent. We're the United States. 'Gulf of the Americas' kind of makes sense, but has nothing to do with the United States of America.

I could see that if it was the gulf of USA but Mexico is part of America

And everyone will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico

In Florida we just call it "the gulf".

Not any more - we'll be sure to add "of Mexico" for clarity from now on.

Seems confusing. How do you know which gulf you're talking about?

What an absolutely brilliant question. Your mother must be so proud of you. Do you go poo poo on your own too? Awwwwwww.

Woosh

Awwww, not yet? You'll get there.

They are so angry they just attack each other for no reason

Everyone who matters will call it the Gulf of Mexico, at least.

I hate to break it to you but everyone matters, not just those that agree with you. That was made very evident with the election. Just because in your mind you can just tell yourself other people don't matter, they actually do. And sadly, their decisions can frick up the world for you.

I think he/she might mean those in communities that actually deal with the Gulf like those in the scientific communities, not just the average layman.

Sure, that's perfectly possible. However, that doesn't counter my point at all. The entire idea that some matter, and some don't, is how we ended up in this mess in the first place. It turns out, everyone actually does, and if you don't believe that, your world can get pretty fricked up by that disbelief.

Give up brother this place is like a blindfolded circlejerk

Leftists purity checking each other over things that aren't even disagreements

Americans don't matter to me any more.

What irrelevant country are you from?

The great thing about American exceptionalism is that it can never have any negative consequences of any kind. Good luck with that!

I will. Frick that nazi. Gulf Of Mexico.

Oh so you like deadnaming now, interesting.

PM Trudeau of Canada should issue an order renaming the USA to "South Canada". Let's see Google change it for Canadian viewing.

This is exactly the kind of high-level international trolling we need. Show Trump for the pathetic man-child that he is.

: So you guys agree that we should be same the country then!

But _I_ don't desire they use that name, and I'm American. Can we, like, petition Google to not be punks who do what the totalitarian wants?

Lmao. The Google CEO was front row at Trump's inauguration. Best of luck

Maybe constantly bitching about CEOs/rich people/important people even when they're on your side could have some unfortunate consequences?

Californian checking in. It's the Gulf of Mexico.

>Google will change

Google is the scariest of all tech companies. They are essentially our library. They have the ability to manipulate the narrative on a different level. For the vast majority they are our dictionary, our encyclopedia, our Library of Alexandria. They are THE reference for day to day life. Our last arbiter of truth.

We are already aware that weighted searches are for sale.. but them kissing the ring is scarier than social media techs doing so. By my estimation, at least.

That's why I periodically download wikipedia

"Here at Google, we deepthroat the whole boot"

Stop being anti-corporations and maybe they'll like your side too

Why do people think this ends when trump ends? It doesn't. It's being set up so it doesn't. We will get Vance, who is more cognizant and has the potential to be worse.

True but, I don't think anyone but Trump has what it takes to rile up the morons enough to get out and vote.

It's comments like this that make me think you people still do not understand the magnitude of this election.

Every single lever of power in the government that matters is now firmly controlled by people who are perfectly fine cheating in broad daylight with a violent mob to maintain that power.

They are not going to let themselves be voted out of that power.

Maybe choose an actual candidate next time instead of an identity checklist?

I think his cult followers can absolutely be manipulated, post Trump Death, into turning on themselves. I don't think they're accept the Charisma vacuum as the next leader.

I think the internal MAGA civil war will tear the movement apart.

You just have to hope that they haven't destroyed democracy too much post that point.

Like how you guys lost the election?

People want to believe that Trump is pulling the strings. They don't want to believe that there's a group of people putting EOs on his desk to sign without reading

Fricking wingcucks lmao

Now factor in the very best healthcare that money can't buy.

COVID would have killed him if he wasn't POTUS. Sad this dude keeps escaping death. It's always the evil ones that live the longest. :/

Even the best medicine can't do miracles.

Ah, frick, who am I kidding, modern medicine is a miracle. We're fricked.

[Karma] Doesn't exist.

I mean… it does. You'll see. And even if you don't believe, when bad things happen, I can assure you us real Americans will be cheering

I'm a real American too but I don't believe karma is an actual thing. If it were true, why would such monstrosities be done to innocent people over the course of history? What did they ALL do to deserve slavery/torture/murder/r*pe/genocide?

I meant real in the sense cheering for karma to happen to dotard. You are also assuming you know exactly how something you don't believe in actually works. Bold assumption

Do you know exactly how it works then?

I know what I believe, but is it what religious adherents believe? No, don't think so.

How is that any different than what I said?

Cause I think my version is real or is to me at least. You said none of it is real.

It's real to me that it doesn't exist.

An armed man arrested at the U.S. Capitol said he planned to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and burn down The Heritage Foundation, federal authorities say.

Ryan Michael English, 24, of Massachusetts (), was found with a knife and two Molotov cocktails on Monday afternoon near the south door of the Capitol, U.S. District Court records say.

"I'd like to turn myself in," English said after he approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer, the records say.

Officers detained and searched him and found he had a folding knife, a lighter and two 50-mililiter bottles of vodka with a gray cloth attached to the top.

English told officers he went to the Capitol to kill Bessent, who was being confirmed as Treasury secretary. He said he had more Molotov cocktails in his car.

He said he left home on Sunday with the intention to kill Hegseth, who he called a "Nazi," and Johnson, as well as burn down The Heritage Foundation. He said he aimed to "depose" the officials and send a message, records say.

As English headed to D.C., he stopped at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and saw Reddit posts about Bessent's confirmation hearing. He then altered his intended target, the records say.

Lex Fridman: ''I gave Zelensky every single chance to say a kind word about Putin''

Who the fuck do you think you are dude https://t.co/N6bgSF2ea4

— Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 (@DrewPavlou) January 19, 2025

https://old.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/1hueys4/lex_fridmans_3_hour_interview_with_zelenskyy_just/

Redditors wrote how the interview was based how cool it was for Zelenskyy to swear and telling he hates every Russian (to an Russian) and Russian language

Kellogg has cancelled his visit to Ukraine after this genius interview since Zelenskyy obviously did this interview not for burger not for Russian and not for most Ukrainian but for specific far right Ukrainians that are 30% of the population. Zelenskyy is betting on them. Huge chunk including Zelenskyy and his team are Russian speaking, lex even mentioned that before the interview Zelenskyy was speaking Russian.

This how Redditors were criticising lex

Please. Lex's conversation with Zelenskyy was such a bait. Zelenskyy would touch on so many interesting topics and lex would just ignore what he says and go back to peace and love, Trump loves his country, why do you admire Elon? Weak butt questions. You have a world leader in front of you who is at war, a very rare position, and the best question you can muster is love and peace?

He should had asked where are the f16, 500+ billions ? Why Ukraine launching stupid butt operation ? Why Ukraine didn't managed to liberate a single town since November 2022, despite getting absolutely everything they asked in 2022 ? Why in 2023 September he was saying Ukraine will liberate 2 cities by end of the year ?

@duck you see when I am saying something I can always back it up.

Why it took over a year to fire Reznikov when in 2022 burgers were saying he is corrupt please fire him.

Why he fired Zaluzhnyy by saying Zaluzhnyy wants lower the mobilisation age and Ukraine doesn't need it to after firing Zaluzhnyy he lowers the mobilisation age ?

There is like shit tons of questions that could be asked to Zelensky but I bet Redditors wouldn't like those questions.

Lex is a conservative, a Russian Jew.

I happen to believe in God, for which I have substantial personal evidence to support my belief, but it still requires faith. So I am a human, on earth and I get to do amazing things, all because of God, the creator of the universe and everything in it.

His quote.

What is important ti conservatives? Love for good and people then selfs are stupid and without God or other kind of authority guidance humans would just be animals so they have concept of moral.

Libs believe in freedom, individualism, rights, tolerance and rationalism. So if you give people freedom they then self will do good without need of God.

So you see, God is important to this guy and love your neighbor is very important concept in abramic religion.

So it wasn't smart for Zelenskyy to say frick the neighbor to such guy.

In regards to the "conservative podcasts" thing, though (firstly lol to identifying Lex's show as conservative), I think Lex is the goldmine in terms of being both passive and uninformed. The ideal conservative interlocutor for Zelensky should be someone exactly like that, and I think he could improve his rhetoric by making use of that weakness through pausing to let the other person answer his questions. I noticed multiple instances in the podcast where it would've benefitted Zelensky more to let Lex respond to something he asked, because the narrow scope of a question forces an uninformed opponent to expose their ideological weakness. When you do a broad ramble covering an array of topics it may be a strength if your goal is to obfuscate, but it's a weakness if it's your opponent's goal to obfuscate. Lex's bias in that conversation was clear but so was his inability to defend any points, so I almost wish Zelensky had shifted his expectations of Lex downwards so his questions, rather than being rhetorical with the implicit understanding that he and his audience are smart enough to agree with the answer, were real questions Lex had to vocally grapple with. In that sense I hope that if Zelensky does more combative media appearances, regardless of how far-right the interviewer is, they have a similar level of temperament to Lex Fridman. Thus ends my analysis.

Redditors legit thought it was good interview

https://old.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/1hvsfnr/destiny_shot_his_shot_at_a_chance_of_interviewing/

I would much rather have Zelensky on Rogan than Destiny tbh. People need to remember conservatives only care about what Trump thinks on an issue, but getting the psuedo-intellectual tech centrist audiences that people like Rogan,Williamson, Bilyeu and even Piers has would be way more impactful.

Rogan rejected it because it's now worth it could lead to some unnecessary drama. He did suggested he could talk to Putin because in such case they will spend most time talking about mma without random swearing and emotional pitches.

Like can you name another leader in las 30 years that was swearing in interviews ?

Syrian new leader is more professional than Zelenskyy for frick sake.

Elon prob encouraged him to push this narrative in an attempt to "character assinate" Zelensky in the public eye — after what was a successful interview for Zelensky. This method of personal attack is a classic Elon tactic.

— Michael Hickin (@hickinmichael) January 20, 2025

So Elon set a trap to Zelenskyy and Zelenskyy wildly opened his bussy for it ?

If someone killed someone close to Lex Fridman, I'm curious how Fridman would use his chances?
