@interfluidity The idea that #MAGA seeks exclusively to hold power for power’s sake doesn’t really map onto rhetoric I’ve heard from #MAGA extremists (using #RealAmericasVoice hosts like #SteveBannon or even those adjacent to them such as #JackPosobiec and #CharlieKirk, as my baseline)
I think #MAGA is a cult that, like many other cults, offers a grand vision of turning the world into a utopia. The cult members feel a nearly divine calling, and since many of them have also been sold the line that the #MAGA mission of following #Trump is endorsed by #God, they feel uniquely emboldened to bring forth that vision through any means necessary.

@interfluidity actually if
Rolls Royce were to make a minivan it would not be as big a stretch as the SUV, at least in China. According to an #Electrek article (I think) a few weeks ago, Western auto pundits at a show were surprised at the sumptuous appointments in one of their upcoming EV minivans.Apparently minivans are supposed to be luxury vehicles there - used to chauffeur executives around. A Rolls implementation would at least make some sense.

@interfluidity @danjac So yeah, that's pretty much right.
Bear with me, I'm trying to simplify this as much as possible without going so far as to just wave me hands and say #TimeyWimey and I'm also trying to be quick about it so this isn't 100% accurate but...
The Theory of General Relativity describes gravity, and how it distorts the shape of spacetime. Gravity makes objects with mass attract each other by distorting the space around them, and in the same way it also distorts the flow of time. So time moves more slowly within a strong gravitational field than in a weak one.
You ever see the movie 'Interstellar', where they visit the planet close to a black hole and when they come back the guy who stayed behind is suddenly really old? It's exactly that, only much less extreme.
The theory of Special Relativity describes another way time is distorted - as you move faster, your local time slows down (and also your shape changes and your mass increases), so that probably also affects the rate of time on the Moon compared to Earth. I didn't bother clicking the article to see if they reference that at all, though, so my apologies for being lazy!

You get a different answer asking the Thiels, Yarvins or Haldemans. #TechnocracyInc is now a world power (with nukes).

I'm a little behind on reading @interfluidity and I just bumped into this remarkable prose.
Yes, this is what it's about, the #broligarchy and the #christofacists be damned.

Compare "Cocytarchy" with kakistocracy.
from #Kulak https://anarchonomicon.substack.com/p/cocytarchy
ht Thom A & @SteveRoth
hierarchy (lowerarchy?) as a pit rather than a pyramid certainly is evocative.
putting aside the grander comparisons (the army and civil service stuff seems a stretch), if you take the description of prison gangs seriously, reforming prisons to become smaller, to form communities governable and governed in a more civilized way, should be a first-order tough-on-crime priority!

The best thing you’ll read about the great $140,000 poverty debate, and the fallaciousness of reasoning endemic to the kind of people who get off on calling out other people’s fallacies. by #DanDavies https://backofmind.substack.com/p/ways-of-vibing

“To save its insurance industry, Taiwan probably needs to intervene massively to keep its currency weak. To save its export industry from the threat of “reciprocal” tariffs, Taiwan likely need to step back from the foreign exchange market and let its currency appreciate.” #BradSetser https://www.ft.com/content/d71c34a0-4ded-4cba-be1c-82384915a8fd
