I just heard that a lot of Americans believe the Moon belongs to them. It actually belongs to all of us.

And nobody fought. That's the problem. Not him. He stood up for what he believes in. The fact that he believes in something disgusting is there, but nobody on the right side of this fought. That's why we lose. We don't get beaten. We surrender.

Britain needs to reckon with the fact that it is not just a developing country economically, but also in political culture. - There are widespread perceptions of corruption. - Governments are not capable of pulling off large projects without enormous consent generation schemes through established interest groups (NGOs) and massive side payments - The government is not trusted with expropriation tools - Even left-wing governments cannot raise broad-based taxes (and the far left opposition don’t make the case for broad-based taxes, but that they can extract loads of money from the rich and other scapegoats) - Even right-wing governments cannot take away state welfare entitlements - There is a dizzying array of inconsistent privileges - Parties are becoming less ideological and more tribal. There are explicit ethnoreligious parties standing, and bloc voting is becoming more and more common. - Everyone thinks that all politicians are liars - Almost no one is willing to take a hit in the interests of the country, and no one is expected to. I think all of these things are connected, and I also think it’s foolish and self defeating to pretend we are Britain of the 1950s, or Denmark, and that we can simply implement the most efficient policies by deciding to — we just need more political will! Instead, we need to be realistic about what a country in our situation can achieve. We need to come up with ways to steadily build state legitimacy and state capacity, by stigmatising dishonesty and using the tools of the past, which worked when we were last in this situation. The government can’t be trusted to spend money, so taxes need to be hypothecated to things voters want if we want to raise more. Large projects need to involve more specific deals with losers, overriding objectors with local support not (nonexistent) national fiat. Anything controversial needs to be approved in a party’s manifesto, or in a referendum. If it can’t be voted through, it cannot be implemented. If the voter doesn’t want it, they need to be convinced, or it can’t be done.

For what it's worth I have a Master's in Applied Finance -my maths is fine. None of your insults are an argument. You used a picture of the incredible engineering of rockets; something I never have denied because it's extremely obvious that is real and we can all see them working. However, none of that validates the BS they try to pass off as moon landing "evidence". It's as simple as that. You can have reverence for European engineering, as I do, without swallowing the absolute farce that they put in the slopbucket to the normie masses. There are too many inconsistencies and intuitively suspicious informations that don't add up: "We destroyed the technology to go back lol". Couple that with researching the ancient schools of thought and other historical civilizations that had other conceptions of "outer space", speaking of the firmament, the lunar bodies or the realm we inhabit - and you begin to question the narrative they feed us that results in them pocketing billions of dollars. Just like they said you can't question the "Covid" narrative unless you are a doctor etc; its wrong to say that you can't question something that seems suspicious if you're outside of their particular education system. That being said, we're free to disagree, and I'm free to question things, which I will always do if it doesn't seem right to me.

The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges. No one is above the law, including judges. That is what it took to fix El Salvador. Same applies to America.

They hate Iron Dome because it means fewer Jews die

In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and that Musk was serving as both CEO and CTO. Musk explained that deep expertise can be built outside formal academic programs — by reading extensively, conducting experiments, and speaking directly with experts in the field.
