As someone who is descended from lowland Scots who came to North America in the 17th and 18th centuries, Musk and people who talk like he is about "Scotts-Irish" are just talking like stupid racists. More stupid than racist.

OK, I tried to keep an open mind about it. I suspect the judge will have questions how a person could be so audacious (derogatory)

I’ll chime in and say: I was always really good at math—but I found this sentiment alienating, “you are good at math, so please proceed to your designated advanced good-career track,” as well as the tedium of an hour+ of math problems a night. Totally avoided it and quit after algebra II.
Those who weren’t resigned to the Math Idiot Garbage Bin as kids may not grasp how much “if you’re bad at math, you’ll die in a ditch and all will be better off for it” sentiment was floating around in the 90s and 2000s, but it sure felt real to me.

Trump’s “fraud crackdown” list is a political hit list. He targets his critics and attacks the watchdogs who actually root out waste. Meanwhile, he continues to pardon allies who stole millions from taxpayers. The real fraud is pretending Trump is helping the American people.

Substituting an imaginary, fake Trump into the story because writing about the real Trump and his actual actions would be very bad for Trump and not help him:

It’s also completely asymmetrical.
Everyone is supposed to never punch left and embrace any wackadoo claiming to operate for a moral cause.
Meanwhile, these people call us all fascists all day for not being thrilled about random arson, and we’re supposed to just take it.

Ugh. SpaceX actually had an incredible accomplishment with the reusable first stage. Now it's being used to bailout a total failure—xAI previously absorbed the financially disastrous Twitter purchase. A disgrace beyond disgrace.

Because there’s no functioning theory behind any of this. There’s just a set of nonsensical rules, which are deployed selectively in dominance contests in the loosely organized activist network. Iron law of institutions.
I ask "how is the anonymity of people being betrayed by having a reporter around when those same people are very specifically appearing on multiple cameras in notable public gatherings daily" and I never seem to get an answer

I should probably just not read any replies to Stancil because this shit makes me so mad. How do you fucks not understand that filming people’s faces at a large peaceful protest is not a security concern. How do you not understand that the way we win is by realizing that they can’t kill us all
