I've been talking a lot about this lately, but you can look at this through a superpositional lens and it makes way more sense.
It isn't two sides, it's many factions who have come under two banners, and each faction is further made up of people who have their own agendas.
I'm pretty sure one of the reasons for elon's heel face turn is the political machine was already lining up to fuck him, and he just fucked it faster. Be honest -- If he kept on being a good Democrat donor like he was in 2020, how much longer until they just swatted him like a bug anyway?

If you told me in 2008 that I'd be cheering for a Republican president flexing executive power, I would have said what are you doing in my house get out or I'm calling the cops. But here we are.
Oh no. Maybe everyone should put tariffs on China, then they'll put tariffs on all kinds of fossil fuels. How about Australian coal?
The surprise twist is that his election this time is already helping fix my homeland of soviet canuckistan, though it's scaring the pants off of most Canadians in the meantime.
Trudeau might want to pretend Canada has a perfectly secure border, but people who don't live in his ivory tower know full well that a lot of the gangs and guns come from the US. How did they get here? Very easily it turns out. A lot of people go "only 47lbs of fentanyl were seized!", yeah, the rest made it through.
Florida wins the Stanley cup... Embarrassing for all the states that get snow such as Canada.
I always get a kick out of it when they seamlessly switch from "Trump is a 1945 nazi" to "desu desu to the juice" mid-speech.
And isn't the consensus on the ground that bad 1945 man Trump was instrumental in establishing a currently active cease-fire?

Issue 1 of the original FBXL Magazine we tried to test this, and I discovered that I can't concentrate on programming when I've been drinking. Instead of programming I kept on playing multiplayer games of diablo 2 instead.

Pretty sure it was 2001-2002.

I hate to say it, but I think that Donald Trump has proven that you don't need another extra dollar! You just need to let the people who are already in place do their jobs.
In a recent essay, I wrote the following words:
"Institutions would integrate superpositional thinking I think in part by being less bureaucratic. Instead of delegating everything to rules and regulations, give people doing the work some flexibility to try to do the right thing. They can turn out to be wrong, but local decision making is likely going to be more beneficial than universal decision making."
So this article aligns deeply with that, and I like how it's constructed.
Modernism (which still permeates much of what we have left in our world) thinks it can find the perfect objective standards for anything and everything. Postmodernism (which eats away at our civilization) tries to tear down things by proving they are imperfect, and it is typically pointed at things the current bureaucratic powers want gone, not things such as bureaucracy itself. Postmodernism tears down culture which can tell people they're wrong without a rule to tell them so, and it makes everything relative so nobody's really to blame for anything ever so of course postmodern bureaucracy doesn't want to hold anyone responsible for their mistakes (and that doesn't mean firing everyone at the first sign of trouble)
A new way of thinking needs to happen that allows for the fact that things aren't always the same and leaders need responsibility and power to go with their title so they can wisely execute their function as leaders.

First, let me say, there is a competency crisis (clickbait, sue me). But the reason for this crisis goes far beyond mere DEI. It lies at the root of managerial and bureaucratic systems themselves; there is a unique mechanism by which bureaucracies distribute responsibility to an asymptotic near-zero at the level of the individual, such that few within any given system are ever punished for their failures. This mechanism can be readily identified by those of us within such systems, and being able to identify and resist such mechanisms, either as a cog within bureaucratic systems or (more importantly) as the authors and builders of new systems, is a skill worth its proverbial weight in gold. It is not possible to design bureaucratic, managerial systems to run autonomously on “policy” without building into them a future of decay into incompetence. Without real command authority and serious consequences for failure (which can only be meted out by leaders who have both authority and responsibility), systems that run on “rules” or “policy” are doomed to fail. As leaders and builders, this is something we have to understand in the core of our being; we have to isolate the nagging liberal priors that would drag us back to rules-based and policy-based organizations.
The recent aviation disaster in Washington, D.C., was a tragedy. Naturally, many commentators pointed out that the reason for the crash will likely be determined as a lack of competency on the part of one or many individuals responsible for safety in aviation, caused in part by DEI policies and lax standards. This is, no doubt, true. However, the problem is not that individuals within the system failed; the problem is the structure of the system itself.

Trudeau is literally retarded.
"I don't know why the american president I just spent 10 years shitting on is treating us poorly!"
Maybe it's because you spent 10 years shitting on him? Maybe US presidents don't really like getting shit on unless they're paying some prostitute to do it?

Europe reminds me of China before the century of humiliation. So sure of their moral superiority That they can just bureaucracy anything they don't like away, but the rest of the world continues to exist.
