    I think part of the problem is they know a lot people want life and entertainment to be the same thing, so they can sell scifi as reality and it’s a sure way to get tithes from the faithful.

        For sure, it’s Elon’s whole thing. Look at Star Citizen, same thing. Blur the lines between what’s achievable and what seems feasible and say you need people’s money to make th dream work. Money go brrrrr

            I don’t know if that’s a good example, in the US everyone reflexively hates and makes fun of the president no matter who it is. Everything the government says is always considered bullshit no matter what. But for some reason this doesn’t apply to CEOs.

              -“Trump indicated that the tariffs are going to make the economy …”, “Trump just stated on trut social that the Iran deal …”

              The media sure do listen to your presidents ramblings and social media posts.

                We don’t have the same kind of country you have.

                “The media” is owned by our elite. It is in no way reflective of the average person’s opinion.

                    … yeah dude. Yeah. Even youtubers.

                    I am absolutely amazed by your thought process but I’m not going to waste my time reeling.

                    Yes, youtubers get paid by superpacs and shit like that. Yes youtubers get anonymous donations. Yes youtubers have political agendas.

                    If you’re American and can afford all the equipment for Youtube, you come from a rich family or you have a sponsor.
