Once a normal person is exposed to some of the views here their mind gets warped into the social progressive doubt everything mode. Its real bad mkay?
And as for liberal states, California in particular is becoming litteral shit. All that can leave.

actually it’s great.
it’s about the third greatest countries on earth. 1st being Russia, followed by Canada, then the USA, then China.
by great I mean it’s got big land area.

For you maybe. I’m basically immune to anything that isn’treinforced by Chapo Trap House and friends verifiable and workable.
@MagpulPony
It should be much better in space industrialisation and colonisation. When’s Trump going to set up bases on the Moon? If it were up to me, I’d cut the defence budget in half and use the other half to focus on intensifying space development. $300-400 billion would build a lot of space elevators and launch loops.

Realistically, you cut the US defense budget in half, the US military would collapse. Not only would you lose the emerging technologies sectors, you’d lose the ability to maintain the existing arsenal across all branches.
As for the space thing, we were supposed to go back to the moon in 2024, Corona may have altered that plan, though. We’re also the only nation with fully operational “space fighters”

Going back to the moon seems like a gigantic waste of money. Billions of dollars and all we get is some moon rocks, space dust and some nice photos? Meh.
I mean, I guess it’s good practice for mars. Helps The R&D team work out the bugs in their gear.

@MagpulPony
No, you wouldn’t. You’d actually get a much better military than you currently have if you introduced so fiscal responsibility into defence spending. Do I have to bring up the POGO articles again?
@Terminal Red
No, it makes a lot of sense to industrialise the Moon, as there’s a lot of useful resources there and it’s a low gravity well, meaning it’s much easier and cheaper to get materials off it than off earth or mars. The dark side is also a good place to set up sensitive telescopes that are immune from interference from earth.
Anyone who thinks the Moon isn’t worth going to also probably thinks that FTL is possible and gene-editing for intelligence is impossible.

Anti censorship: DP forum thead anti
Who thought dragging in irl stuff would split the fanbase? Did not see that one coming at all…

All I know is we tried it already. All it resulted in was a massive increase in military aviation accidents due to training errors and faulty equipment, an inability to keep our air force and Navy aircraft maintained, and a failure to meet the standards of being able to win a war against another power. Keeping the biggest military on earth operational and combat ready doesn’t come cheap.

Rand Paul has recently introduced a bill to end ‘nonjudicial’ civil forfeiture.
Civil forfeiture is nothing but legalized theft, and I applaud any effort to eliminate it.

If your first thought to “Nazis and Nazi imagery are bad and not welcome” is to complain about censorship and “free-speech“ then you should probably start rethinking your life choices
Besides Derpibooru isn’t run by the government so they aren’t violating anything. Anti-free speech would be like the President placing an executive order to punish Twitter for fact checking him(which happened), the president actively punishing protesters and making certain protesting tactics illegal(which happened), or attacking free press for saying things that make him look bad even when it’s true(which happened), not some Pony website deciding not to host Nazi content

Oh no. Run from the bad evil Nazi content. It might hurt your delicate little soul…
Jeez, what is this nonsense? What’s with all the high and mighty, self importance attitude? Post political pieces, you’ll be told to sod off. See content you don’t like? Ignore it. It’s not WW3, it’s a stupid site for posting pony drawings or whatever.

Unlike Twitter, Facebook, et al, Derpibooru isn’t big enough for the curation of content on its platform to be a first-amendment issue.

They opened the door and it is in. Will this site survive? Check the threads, its split right down the middle.
I am a centrist. And I will tolerate speech. I do not like much stuff from left or right but I will not censor.

Let’s hope Derpi isn’t gonna fall down the slippery slope.
First they gonna go after the Nazis, then the racists, THEN they gonna go after religion. At that point I’m out, because I wouldn’t be able to post hijabi Desert Flower arts.

Worry not, they backed out, around 600 artists have requested full DNP and takedowns, and roughly a quarter of uploads with an artist tag are set to disappear by the time the AC:NH Summer Update is deployed (about 24hrs from now)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to distract myself with something less violent and politically divided than the current state of the world: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.

Or perhaps not, given that it took this extreme circumstance to even go after the Nazis?
