[@NiGHTSIntoMemes]

@@hairymcnipples Yeah, looking back on this, I'll admit I definitely misspoke when I said completely reversible. There are definitely some things that aren't reversible, but I do still think (at least at the time of writing this comment) that at least a large chunk of the damage is currently both preventable and reversible. It's just a matter of taking the steps required to actually begin doing so-something which I have considerably less optimism about, at least in the case of the United States. Still, though, I find it important to try and remain positive during situations like this-doomerism is neither a healthy ideology nor a helpful one. I just wish people with the money and manpower that could actually make an impact on it would bother to do so, rather than leaving the people who can't to fend for themselves.

The inability/reluctance of the machine to be raged against, to recognize itself as the machine to be raged against, is usually a defining characteristic of the machine to be raged against. This can make it hard to prove the machine is the machine as opposed to simply being the other side, but when you’re the most wealthy man in the world, who’s ceo of a company receiving government funding, and who has openly admitted to directioning coups d’etat in the countries he bloodmines his non renewable resources from… yeah, you’re the machine in question buddy

[@itcouldbelupus2842]

​@@falconeshield This is what I was thinking as well. We are definitely correct and very smart.

[@GrayCatbird1]

And the anxiety-inducing thing about that is that everyone is entitled to be questioned that way. How do _I_ as an individual participate in systemic issues, uphold or perpetuate them without realizing? Could it be that in some way, I'm part of the machine in a way I haven't realized it? Of course trying to reframe systemic reform as an individual responsibility is stupid and I'm not advocating for that (though in the case of Musk, it wouldn't be that crazy), but being willing to question core assumptions is something that is uncomfortable for anyone, as Ro touches on at the end of the video.

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

I haven't de-musked anyone yet, but I pulled a guy friend off the gamergate pipeline that led so many to the alt right. It took like a year or two of a lot of conversations that were not easy, but I was trying really hard to reach him and get him to understand me and signal that I believed him better than the ideas bouncing around that space. It took a while but he told me later it helped. It's some dang emotional labor, I'll tell you what, but I think it's worth it. This is also why I think Twitter fights and online dog piling are ineffective. I've never convinced a neonazi by arguing with them, largely because they know they're full of shit and don't care. But I have gotten through to people by talking to them like I want to see the good in them and give them a chance to back down from those ideas with some dignity, instead of retreating after being doused in shame and derision. Some people absolutely deserve all that, but hey.

[@hollyexley]

The bit at the end about taking criticism of capitalism personally - that was so good. I recognise this everywhere.

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

That's probably because we tie so much of our self worth to what we feel we "contribute" to the capitalist machine. When your sense of value just as a human being is directly connected to your work, any critique of that system feels like an attack on your personhood. That's one reason why capitalism is so difficult to even chip away at. It sets itself up, and burrows so far in, that it practically forces everyone to accept it as one and only way of doing anything. The people at the top have slowly designed it this way; why do or say anything to jeopardize the flow of extreme wealth into your bank? The sad thing is it's become more like a game for them, they don't actually do anything with that money because the thrill is just seeing how much of a high score you can get. It's also why they see people more as numbers than, you know, people. Do most people really care about the "lives" of the NPCs in video games? No. They're just there as set dressing or a place to sell your loot at. When everything is flattened down to numbers on a spreadsheet you stop seeing what's actually behind those numbers, and at a certain point you're so desensitized that everything just becomes meaningless numbers. Giant numbers at that, numbers so large the human brain has trouble even conceptualizing how big they really are.

[@alexisasheep6554]

As someone who lives in Scandinavia here are some of the benefits you get from being in this system, i can not speak for all countries involved but they're pretty similar. Free school (obligatory, in highschool you might have to pay for lunch and the same goes for what I'd call collage but uni is free), free meals in school (until highschool and sometimes highschool), free dental and healthcare until your early 20s as well as "high cost insurance" on these things as well as most common prescribed medications, vacations and limits to how much you can legally work (this all varies a bit but yeah), unions that are hard to bust bc there's a long history of it and a bunch of other things too. I'm just a normal person from a family who's finances have fluctuated throughout my upbringing and things aren't perfect but I'd say it's nicer than living in the US, this security is something almost nobody would give up willingly. We do have high taxes (I don't know the differences between us and the US, it's like 28-30% in my specific region I think) but that kinda comes around and you benefit from it in the long run. Not to say that things aren't corrupt, where there's power and massive amounts of money there will always be corruption and politicians are the same no matter where you are but overall it's fine. Always strive for better though, things can always be better.

[@llcdrdndgrbd]

I worked at Tesla GIGAFACTORY NV, from 2016 to 2021, for the first 3 years it was fun, then Tesla started turning a profit for the first time and had a severe reduction in Government Subsidies. . Safety standards dropped severely, to save a buck. It was cheaper to pay or fire injured employees then to fix the problems. . The amount of severe injuries that I personally witnessed is truly staggering, in retrospect. .

HydraPak was the sole contractor NASA used in the manufacture of the space shuttle O-rings.” “In all honesty, NASA was clearly at fault here. The launch should never have gone ahead in such conditions. It’s also not necessarily fair to blame the manufacturer of the O-rings for not testing them in extremely cold conditions. It’s highly possible that those O-rings were built using the religious equivalent of slave labor. It’s just an interesting and intensely sad corner of history, one where two groups of people on the absolute opposite ends of the American spectrum - fundamentalist cult adherents and literal rocket scientists attempting to launch a teacher into space - intersected to bring us one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.”

[@g.f.martianshipyards9328]

@@roramdin I want to add that Challenger was actually fine quality-wise, the disaster came about because it was launched outside it's intended operating conditions (it was too cold, which led to problems with an O-ring on a solid rocket booster). Engineers knew of the risk and warned their higher-ups, but the launch proceeded anyway. Columbia on the other hand was related directly to the Shuttles design, even though the manufacturing quality was still good.

You'd think everyone would have realized Elon was trying to be a dollar store supervillain when he suggested indentured servitude as a viable means for people that can't afford to go live on mars with the Richies ❤

those cut ins of you fighting with yourself brought me back to eating dinner with my parents during their marital issues in october of 2015.

[@cpetersen6454]

the conversation at the beginning is eerily close to a conversation i had with my boyfriend last week. he was more critical of musk but still can weigh in his good, etc, but still. kinda eery lol

Ro lives in the walls

[@93runninggiraffes]

At around t = 1:25 in the video, I perform a sniff check of my underarms and realise that I smell... what was genuinely frightening, was that this sniff check was immediately followed by Ro asking, "do you smell?" Honestly, I had to pause the video to reclaim my grip on reality, as for a moment, I thought Ro had caught me smelling my pits through the computer.

Your explanation of capitalism and communism should be taught in every socio 101 class. Thank you

As a person who's logged over 100k miles using Comma AI's Openpilot system, stage 2-3 was never meant to be a robot chauffer, it's just a better cruise control. All cars are deadly even at slow speeds, but trusting brand new technology to ALWAYS steer you, is reckless. Great Video.

[@bethanythatsme]

It's probably my lack of understanding this world we all inhabit, but I don't think anyone could become mega wealthy ethically. Worshiping wealth and power isn't my bag, but what do I know 🙃 My blathering aside, great content. Edit: adorable jumper 🌹

[@iamnohere]

I: No, you undertand it pretty well. One can't get that sort of money without exploiting people

[@ztuxilef5533]

Elon musk isn’t the real life Tony Stark hes the real life Mysterio if he wasn’t treated badly by his boss but got a superiority complex by growing up in Apartheit and having a rich dad

[@VegetarianTrex]

He wants so badly to be a poster, but no money can buy that.

[@zachmanning2609]

If I could just inflate your ego for a moment... I honestly think you're one of the funniest creators on this platform, your weird little asides and constant stream of jokes kills me and I find myself chuckling near the entire length of the video. You and CJ the X have a very similar style of content and I'm laser focused for the whole runtime every time you put out a new video. You're doing a great job and I'm looking forward to your future work!

[@alicem2103]

I'm a new subscriber of yours. Love to see "younger people" like yourself out here with fantastic and astute analysis (I cringed inside as I said younger people. I'm a millenial. I'm 29. Lmfao I'm not you anymore and it's wild) as well as some HILARIOUS candor. Your jokes don't make me laugh "haha" of course, like most dry humor they just give me a deep jubilance. I'm just momentarily giddy. It's a welcome reprieve from everything else we are feeling right now. As another gender non-conforming young-ish person under the trans umbrella, I salute your ability to hold your own out here. Took so many of us years to get to that point of unapologetic presentation. That's not just a creator skill, that's a lifelong achievement that so many of us don't reach. Keep it up. Don't stop being you. You're appreciated! 🎉

One more thing about electric cars and buses VS trains: trains don't have to change tires every few months because they have metal wheels, and one tire change produces 32kg of CO2.

[@georgeandrews1394]

I'm in favour of public transportation. However, I'm not sure on that argument? For one, there are a lot of places that don't get snow and ice or get so little that they don't need to swap tires. For two, how does changing tires produce 32 kg of CO2? I get there's a cost to driving the car to the mechanic and many people can't do it at home, but then that's not much more than driving to another equally distant location. Unless you're talking about busses and the like having reduced lifespan on their tires due to constant wear and tear.

[@merty5713]

@@georgeandrews1394 Tires must be produced first, and the CO2 is released during production. I was specifically talking about electric buses, which have 6 tires, so it is 192 kg CO2 for each bus. As you said, they are always on the road so they need frequent change. Also, electric busses use lithium batteries: mining lithium eliminates the wild habitat in South America, you have fresh air in the US at the expense of wild life in South America. It is not a viable green solution, it is eco-colonialism.

As a non native speaker your videos are perfect for when I'm awake and want to scratch the "long-form complex but funny video" brain itch and perfect for when I'm slightly insomniac and need something that at a lower volume seems to be just nonsense with a consistent and lullaby like tone
