Yeah, I'm not exactly a #Socialist (as anybody who knows anything about me knows), but this is a pretty strong case for nationalizing #SpaceX.
Not just because they're undermining a US ally's defense, but because a significant portion of our own security is tied up in these services as well and he has now demonstrated a willingness to exercise control over it beyond simply the goods and services they provide, extending now to limiting and controlling national policy.
Nationalizing SpaceX is now a matter of our own continuing security and sovereignty.
Well, here goes. I literally don't know how else to make IRL friends, so I'm going to see if fedi can help me.
Hi! I'm Balerion (real name to be revealed when friendship applicants pass the vibe check). I live in the #Seattle area. I'm 27, white, queer, and PROBABLY a cis woman. Oh, and I have ADHD. I'm looking for IRL lefty friends because I don't have any & would like to. Bonus points if you're not a fed, but one can't be too picky.
A little more about me: I am #CovidCautious & wear a mask everywhere I go. My hobbies include #crochet, #DND, #VideoGames (loving #BaldursGate3), writing occasionally, listening to podcasts, reading political theory, hanging out with animals, and consuming pretty much all forms of fiction. I have two awful cats. I'm very #cannabis friendly & would be glad to have someone to do edibles with. I'm a libertarian #socialist who's very passionate about politics & making change in the world. I'm not technically an #anarchist, but I'm very sympathetic to #anarchism & tend to get along with anarchists.

I will do my best to post accessibly, including image descriptions and avoiding flashing lights.
I will CW for things like violence, nudity, and hate speech.
I will not CW for cursing, food, politics, or eye contact. If you need CWs for these things, it's okay not to follow me! I just do all of these things a lot, so you wouldn't see most of my posts anyway.
If I see you, and you make interesting original posts, I might follow you. If you post a lot of sexually graphic content, I probably won't. It's not personal.
I am looking for my ppl on here! Looking for more folks to follow! My name is Gem, I am a leftist Texan witch & card reader, art lover, weed smoker. Let's be buds! 👭 💕
If you like psychedelic music, art, mythology, shitposting about the end of the world, or cute animals pls holler 🎸🐰
If you're a Leftist, Socialist, anticapitalist, antifascist I wanna be pals 🔮🌹
Witches, Lenormand readers, tarot enjoyers, lovers of candle magick, and altar keepers pls bang my line! 🪬
Yes I know, for a long time I didn't toot anything about #Vim or #Programming. The reasons? Many! At work I'm more or less dealing with new ideas and proposals for upcoming projects. In my free time, I'm trying to go #running 3–4 times a week. And I also participate in some political, #socialist projects. And then I had this weird idea to get my #hamradio license...
From the standpoint of a future #socialist society, private ownership of the earth will appear as absurd as slavery, or as monarchies, or, as #Marx put it:
I'm currently working in IT as an Application Analyst.
I am a massive, massive #music nerd and really love everything and anything I can get my ears on. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of #postrock and The Meters but I flit between genres and artists constantly.
Biden and the Dem establishment should also be criticized for shitting on socialism and running right at the drop of a hat.
But what matters more than the haters is socialists growing their own media presence, socialists organizing, socialists demonstrating, socialists running for office and socialists getting to the polls.
