I'm referring to how the post title shared here is in first person as if everyone is American. If that's unrelated to exceptionalism then oops.

........ only after they were betrayed by Hitler after they allied themselves with the Nazis to invade Poland.

And then raped and killed civilians in the countries they "liberated" by forcing millions of people from their Eastern European vasal states to die to protect the Russians.

Then replaced Nazism with a slightly different authoritarian system that opresses it's people and performs ethnic cleansings, but has a red and gold cost of paint.

And then also exploited the global south, but just weren't as good at it as the west, and filtered even more of what was exploited up the chain to the party leaders.

And tried to make up for that lack in ability to exploit the global south by exploring Eastern Europe.

Communist we're allied with the nazis at the start of the war and as someone who's great grandmother fled Poland to the UK to avoid being rapes and murdered by the red army, I will never forgive them for that.

only after they were betrayed by Hitler after they allied themselves with the Nazis to invade Poland.

This is literally pro-nazi historical revisionism. I've made a detailed response to this load of bullshit here , if you care to learn some history about it. Please do read that in good faith and respond point by point if you actually wanna get educated on the subject.

Regarding deportations in time of war, I agree it was a failed policy and I don't support them generally, it happens that systems and political ideologies you support make mistakes. This was one of them. It's still extremely minor compared to actual imperialism and genocide committed by western states in times of peace while plundering billions of people in the global south, and it's something that happened during a period of 10 tumultuous war/preparation years and never happened again, unlike the constant imperialism of the west.

Again proving that you don't care about brown people and your entire "leftist" ideology is supported on CIA propaganda.

Isn't that part of the grift?

Isn't what?

I mean the reason for starlink was that they could, and they could do it for cheaper than anyone else because they would be launching at cost.

Also, falcon doesn't really get subsidies for launching. SpaceX got a grant for the rural broadband infrastructure thing, but that's like a one time thing, it doesn't really pay for ongoing launches.

The nationalization of SpaceX will mean a slowdown in development, like in the case of NASA.

What "they made" 50 years ago is of little value now. Expertise matters, and it's lost with time passing.

Still - yes. Nationalization is a bad solution because it gives the state power to nationalize. Seems a truism.

Just let NASA work in its normal role. Instead of replacing that with SpaceX contracts.

You never clicked on the link, did you?

sounds good who gives a shit

yeah but if SpaceX becomes NASA then what

What? Why?
.he wants to create a 3rd party, let him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I'd rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

Then don't reimburse him.

Because American politicians would rather spend the money on engaging international wars. NASA will only get the funding it desperately needs if one of US' rivals one up them, like how the launch of Sputnik spurred the race to the moon.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don't need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we're gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

Learn from SpaceX progress. Return to NASA risk aversion. Trial new designs in 20 years, repeat.

I took one look at you describing the "liberating" of Poland by the soviets because some of it belongs to different modern day countries and new you weren't arguing in good faith. Invading another country and stealing their land doesn't magically become """liberation""" just because it was stolen by someone else first.

You can use this same logic to excuse the nazi invasion of certain countries as well.

doesn't magically become """liberation""" just because it was stolen by someone else first

No, it becomes liberation when majority-Ukrainian regions oppressed under the Polish nationalist state without any mode of representation, recognition of their language, and under bourgeois rule, instead obtain Ukrainian representation and institutions and recognition of its language as an official language. I assume you would know this since you seem to care so much about Ukrainians?

Best time would've been when he pulled that stunt in Ukraine, second best time is now
