@mxchara your maximalist binary thinking is a big part of the reason why there is so much division, strife, and wars in the world. The universe is not binary. The human experience also not binary.

Not all cops are fascists. Some are. Some law enforcement departments are filled with fascists, racists, misogynists, and liars who are extremely biased and commit crimes themselves.

However if we didn't have laws, police, prosecutors, and the ability to enforce laws and rules, then the chance increases exponentially for one of the millions of lizard brain humans to severely harm or kill you because they want something you have or they simply don't like you.

I totally agree #ElonMusk is liar and fascist. Musk is also a racist and misogynist. I also agree #SpaceX is not perfect, has made mistakes, sometimes intentional mistakes, and harmed humans and this planet. SpaceX has also improved the world as well too. Just look at #Starlink and it's benefits to humanity. The universe is not binary.

@sunguramy The people who are hating on #NASA are intentionally ignorant. NASA has made countless discoveries and accomplishments. NASA also provides more than just economic activity at multiples times it's cost. It has benefited human beings globally. If NASA is privatized or cancelled then all of humanity will be harmed.

#SpaceX also has many accomplishments. They didn't just use "off the shelf" technology. They have innovated at well too. Reusable rockets and spacecraft, and the automation that enables it are a fantastic innovation that enables spaces exploration and activities, for a much lower cost.

#ElonMusk is a horrible person and absolutely an evil oligarch. However there are thousands of people at SpaceX who are advancing science, engineering, and discovery who DO NOT have the last name of Musk.

Don't let your well deserved hatred of Elon Musk cloud your interpretation of reality!
