@MGConcertsee @XFreeze Sure, as Thors from Vinland saga always said
"You have no enemies."
This is true
But if a war happened, I am contented for it to be this one

@nyanpiggle @XFreeze Everyone has their own truth! Don't put your truth above everything else, and above all, don't wage war on everyone around you!

Elon Musk explains how Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries
“If you don’t have access to the internet, or it’s too expensive or low bandwidth, you cannot access MIT lessons, you can’t access information, and you can’t sell your goods and services”
Starlink changes all of that
“Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries. It’s going to be that kind of thing”
Because GDP is simply average productivity per person and connectivity massively boosts productivity

also, on a more personal note, 8 hours ago, there have been reports of Iranian funded terrorists that set fire to 4 ambulances in my country
I really don't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find examples of why I should root for one side to win, and one side to not win
also, Iran recently launched a missile at one of our territories, and with that it has proven to have the capability to send missiles into my capital city
English
@nyanpiggle @XFreeze I want to know which children or which country you're talking about so I can respond to you.
English
During the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), Iranian authorities used children and teenagers, primarily through the Basij paramilitary volunteer force, as human mine-clearers in “human wave” attacks against Iraqi positions.
This is well documented, and happened under the rule of the late leader of iran who died in Americas strikes a couple weeks ago.
English
@MGConcertsee @XFreeze when one country uses children to clear minefields I'll take my side thanks
English
@nyanpiggle @XFreeze The most correct thing is to maintain a neutral stance! The two countries should handle their issues themselves, and the third country should stay out of it!

@yusufkrfz @elonmusk He's not doing it because it's easy, like landing rockets, mass manufacturing electric vehicles, coding the best self driving software, saving free speech, all that easy stuff
Nono, he's building a terafab cause there literally aren't enough chips for Tesla to buy, they need 'em

@elonmusk "Big talk again? You think chip manufacturing is that easy, Elon? Costs and challenges are waiting for you. 😏"

Every member of the grooming gangs is from a rural part of pakistan, they are basically a single tribe, and the entire tribe is in on it
In islamic countries, the age of marriage for a girl is 9, and the age of marriage without parental consent is 13
There are a small number of bad people in every sect and group, and Islam teaches that you should protect your family at all costs
Much of the Quran is up to interpretation, and muslim countries fight over how it should be interpreted all the time, yet some countries interpret that white women are born sex addicts, and we have imported thousands of Pakistani muslims with that exact belief
One of my best friends is a muslim, and a great guy, but he isn't from rural pakistan, the difference is night and day
English
I want to share my honest thoughts on Muslims in the UK.
There's a lot of talk at the moment about Islam and grooming gangs and all kinds of stuff.
So this is just my opinion.
I've never in my entire life of meeting hundreds, if not thousands of Muslims, met a Muslim that is not a kind, sweet, honourable person.
There are crazy people in every single group, church, organisation.
Wherever there are people, there's always gonna be good, there's always gonna be bad.
A lot of people who talk about the Quran,
The Quran says this, the Quran says that
and it says, kill people.
I mean, I haven't read the whole book, but I've definitely read chunks, and I've seen verses taken massively out of context.
People go, “The Quran says this!”
And I've actually gone and looked it up, and it's like… no, it doesn't. That's not what it says at all.
I'm not a scholar, I'm Christian.
But I just wanted to say I love Muslims
And I think that the more we can be united, the more people at the top, the better.
I believe the elites, the rich and powerful, will deliberately say things and do things to stir up hate to keep everybody arguing.
When everybody's arguing, when everyone's writing, when there's no peace, we don't think straight, and then we're easy to be brainwashed, controlled and manipulated.
Love to everybody, every religion, every race.

Women tend to vote more on the er of collectivism, ever since they have been able to, and increasingly in recent history, it has split politics on a new binary, collectivism vs individualism
100 years ago, men and women voted for the same parties, now they don't, this should be a red flag by itself
But it goes on, collectivism reduces the need for personal agency as part of a moral framework, it's not a criminal's fault for his crime, it's 'society', we can't punish the individual, etc
The problem with this is, humans, evolutionarily, solve problems as an individual agent: how do I get money, how do I get food, how do I get status, and when they can do so *without* individual responsibility, society devolves into groups covering for retards like George Floyd, who died of a drug overdose resisting arrest because he lethally attacked a pregnant woman
And 'society' collectively demanded for protection for people like him, fuelled by the votes of libral white women with empathy for criminals instead of the aborted children that those criminals *would* have shot, had they existed
We all love women, but letting them vote was a bad call because of the 3rd order effects

Another day, another stabbing. We need to GET REAL - I am sick of it, we are all sick of it. This is not the Britain I want to live in.
The British state needs to brutally crack down on knife crime, and I mean brutally. That is exactly what Restore Britain would do. No more bullshit community work or soft punishment.
Enough is enough.
Instant deportation for foreign nationals found carrying.
Throw the book at the domestic ones.
Found unlawfully carrying? A Restore Britain Government would crack down on you in the harshest possible manner.
Minimum prison sentences - zero excuses.
The message has to be simple.
DO NOT CARRY A KNIFE UNLAWFULLY.
If you are found with a machete or whatever else, you will go to prison. End of story. Stop and search introduced on a proper scale. Accusations of racism would not stop us, I can promise you that.
Do that, on the scale required, and watch how quickly the knife crime epidemic stops.
There is finally a political party with the balls to do what needs to be done to protect the British people.
Restore Britain.
English
@namzyvibez @RupertLowe10 No, actually, deporting the people with the knives will in fact reduce knife crime
English
Knife crime is devastating.
But “brutal crackdowns” and deportation catchphrases aren’t real policy — they’re performance politics.
If we genuinely want to reduce stabbings, we need proper investment in youth services, effective community policing, and long-term prevention strategies.
Real safety comes from practical solutions, not the loudest slogans.
English
@VANADIUM_UTD @RupertLowe10 You support someone addicted to drugs, not someone addicted to stabbings
English
@RupertLowe10 Feeling angry about knife crime is understandable, but “brutal crackdown” rhetoric and nationality based punishments are legally and morally problematic. Long term success comes from a combination of fair enforcement, prevention, and social support, not just punishment.

@Jabra88981708 @MGConcerts25 @XFreeze I agree with this take, if Russia did nothing wrong by invading a country they don't like, then Starlink did nothing wrong by pulling out of a country for the same reason
English
@MGConcerts25 @nyanpiggle @XFreeze Ehh? Lets assume for a moment it was true that Nazis came to power - that gives russia the right to attack the country? By this logic russia is allowed to attack any country whose government they dont like. Ok fine - russia can do what they want and so can Starlink.

In Garry Gibson's Sci-fi book, Stealing Light,
Spoilers
it turns out, the technology that aliens used for FTL, you could basically warp a ship into a star, which would blow up that star and wipe out that star system, and the aliens who had it didn't invent it, they discovered a previous collapsed alien civilisation which had itself destroyed thousands of star systems warring with another long gone civilisation
Basically, as far as I'm concerned, FTL warfare is impossible to fight against and leads to MAD on a galactic scale.
English
On the possibility of ET and disclosure of aliens.
TLDR:
If aliens are here, then they are likely benign (because they could have ended us already). So they probably have a Prime Directive of sorts.
But what really worries me: what it implies about what is technologically possible (antimatter, gravitic weapons/drives, FTL).
Because you do NOT want to live in a galaxy with FTL and antimatter weapons.
David Shapiro (L/0)@DaveShapi
Been thinking about this for a while. There are a few open questions: are they local, or foreign? Either way, if they are here, they are likely technologically superior, which means they are likely at least benign (because they could have killed us if they wanted to). So they likely have a Prime Directive of non-interference or something. But to me, the thing I care about most is what it implies about advanced tech, like sources of energy beyond nuclear fusion (ZPE?) and modes of locomotion beyond reaction (thrust) like maybe gravitic or FTL? Because here's the thing, if we live in a universe where nuclear fusion is literally the pinnacle of energy generation (I mean this is what runs stars) then we're pretty close to the "final tech stack". But if there are sources of energy beyond fusion, and modes of transportation that don't require ejecting mass out the back... Well then the politics and military actions of the future could be very intense indeed. No science fiction has ever accurately captured what a war with antimatter and FTL would look like. And that is because it's basically "everyone loses, very quickly" or you have a massive network of contingencies and failsafes to ensure a galactic Mutually Assured Destruction, and instead of ICBMs pointed at each other, it's antimatter warheads in deep space pointed at your enemies. So if your planet goes dark, so does every one of your enemies (just in case) For the sake of our sanity and anxiety, it would be better if FTL does not exist. That would mean that warfare would ever only happen on less-than-relativistic timescales and velocities. It's funny because Star Trek even touched on this. The Enterprise D carried enough energy to destroy the surface of planets "several times over" - it was a flying WMD capable of genocide. And things frequently went wrong. Oh, and every capital ship in space had that much energy. Yeah, that galaxy was only peaceful because "well, we can vaporize your entire population, but you can do the same to us, so... nobody shoot first." That is honestly what worries me most about the possibilities of ET being here. It's not that they are here. It's what it implies about technology and what is possible.

@DaveShapi It's laughable that the US power usage was left off the chart because of how far off the chart it is.
