“It’s a Roman salute” = “I want to show that I know history” he’s not trying to “honor Rome” or whatever ❌ Out of context stills of Dem politicians = Equivocating, they are also not making Nazi salutes. Moving your arm out wide is a very natural human gesture ❌ Awkward autistic gesture = He’s saying he sends his heart out to J6 prisoners and makes a gesture grabbing his heart and releasing it outward. A more self aware person would stop themselves ✅ “Elon is intentionally making a salute to the Nazi party/Hitler because he agrees with that ideology” = log off, clear your mind, get mental help ❌

A lot of these EO’s are bringing up something weird which is we have an instinctual reaction that executive authority is unstable, chaotic, unreliable, given to authoritarianism, and we instead have power in Congress, where we don’t really have the same concerns in what is and has been a clear oligarchy

It’s so weird how I personally happen to be living through the only time in history when this is actually 100% true

Don’t know what to make of what I’m seeing but anecdotally: I’ve seen some (maybe 30%) of takes that are mildly positive or neutral. I’ve seen a lot (60%+) of takes that are moderately to extremely negative. I’ve seen a few people (10% or less) that think it’s a transcendent positive moment for crypto

Make people see who can live in solitary confinement the longest to pay off their mortgage ✅ Launch a meme coin ❌ The one true moral arbiter of our time

Anecdotally have seen the same thing that normies are inordinately interested in XRP, but not really for any reason related to tech or banking bridges, they think of it like any random meme coin, it’s just number go up and/or they feel they have some secret info from a YouTuber

Tik tok ban is so low stakes from social compared to Google buying YouTube for example. Overnight I went from watching ISIS beheadings on the school computer to not even being able to find a song because of copyright

Kids now complaining about tik tok ban…you are weak. There are 10 other projects that exist or you can spin up to do the exact same thing

I’d rather live 100 lives failing to get a vending machine business off the ground rather than be the neurotic virtue bankrupt journos waiting to start gloating about every little setback Elon Musk has

Does anybody actually have a good idea of what the Trump admin’s initial most urgent priorities are? There is no consensus among libs. They’re convinced the thing that they are concerned about personally is the top priority. Only thing that seems legit is immigration

Complaining about decline of quality in posts on X is so obviously and strictly a skill issue it’s crazy

Reading The Fifth Sun made me think of this: There is typically a divide that emerges very quickly between the people who are actually themselves pushing the frontier and the establishment that created them. Cortes needs legal loopholes to make it seem like he’s not disobeying the Spanish crown, and this divide continues immediately with the Spanish viceroys, governors, encomenderos, etc. Up to the criollos that declare independence. Obviously similar things happen in North America also, but this is happening right now with the internet. Some east coast elites defected to Silicon Valley to push on the frontier and there has been an ongoing struggle between that establishment and those pushing on the frontier for almost 30 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Sun:_A_New_History_of_the_Aztecs
