…doing rocket science for the nazis.

He wrote of Hitler:

Yet, he also wrote that “to us, Hitler was still only a pompous fool with a Charlie Chaplin moustache”[31] and that he perceived him as “another Napoleon” who was “wholly without scruples, a godless man who thought himself the only god”.[32]

And

Later, von Braun said: “I have very deep and sincere regret for the victims of the V-2 rockets, but there were victims on both sides…A war is a war, and when my country is at war, my duty is to help win that war.”[1]: 351

Further, he knew how to flee when his life was under threat:

Nearing the end of the war, Hitler instructed SS troops to gas all technical men concerned with rocket development.[70] Upon hearing this, von Braun commandeered a train and fled with other “technical men” to a location in the mountains of South Germany. After some time, von Braun and many of the others who made it to the mountains left their location to flee to advancing American lines in Austria.[33]

Von Braun and several members of the engineering team, including Dornberger, made it to Austria.[74] On 2 May 1945, upon finding an American private from the U.S. 44th Infantry Division, von Braun’s brother and fellow rocket engineer, Magnus, approached the soldier on a bicycle, calling out in broken English: “My name is Magnus von Braun. My brother invented the V-2. We want to surrender.”[17][75]

Yeah fuck this guy and fuck everyone working on weapons to this day.

I’m an engineer. I solve problems. But I don’t solve problems that involve killing people and ignoring my fucked up government.

Is that how the supply chain works that we have a weeks worth of oil at any time? Or did they raise the price sooner.

I didn’t put any numbers in my reply

I get that it’s a meme but 85% is delusional. If you think under socialism we could work 15% as much as we do now and maintain the same standard of living then lol, lmao, etc.

*online leftists coping and seething after food and housing don’t just magically spring forth from the earth when you abolish rent-seeking

If you have a Real Job where you interact with the material world it is impossible to believe that 85% of the things you physically make or do are consumed by capitalists.

Well yeah, I do actually believe we will work significantly less because many jobs are bullshit, useless and only serve capital. That, and all the over production that ends up in landfills and the ocean because the line must go up.

(Btw I spent yesterday testing sewage samples and I’d do it for free if I didn’t need money to survive so miss me with any ‘how would we convince people to do gross work’ bullshit)

Would anyone call Stallman quiet?

No one wins in a war but I hope they lose extra hard

Everything belongs to the commons with enough skills

Is this a joke

itt people who don’t know who Margret Thatcher was enough to have seen this misattributed/misquoted from her before.

Are you arguing about a meme and demanding it be remade for you?

Hell yeah comrade, glad I could share.

I feel like I am watching a recursive meme stuck in an infinite loop and I can’t tell who is being sincere vs who is shit posting.

Sorry for the serious comment (which is not a reply to OP but something I want to share with my fellow audience).

I think there are 3 distinct cases where someone says something and I think, “hey, that’s not fair/true/etc” and feel myself getting defensive. Each case has an appropriate response, in my opinion:

1. They are not talking about me as an individual, but making sweeping statements - the person isn’t talking to me or about me as an individual, no one is asking for my response or thoughts so I can just move on with my life. Maybe the sweeping statement helps me understand my role in systemic oppression (like by simply being north american) and I can reflect on that, but typically it’s more of an awareness/learning thing and not actionable until I learn/reflect more.

2. Same as 1 but + I am not the intended audience - not everything is about me or for me. The intended audience probably has some context I am missing and even if they don’t no one cares what my take is, so again just let it go.

3. If they are speaking about me in particular they are a) either right and I’m reacting with guilt or shame, b) having some misunderstanding and we need to come together to solve the conflict or c) someone I have no relationship/community/duty to and no benefit comes from trying to resolve so I can also just let it go.

Specisism is a hell of a drug

Like, have these people ever met (edit: non-human) animals???

The light pollution really adds to it lol. The area behind the wall had coyote calls coming from it. Very spooky.

It’s funny because it’s true
