 RT @EndWokeness: "She has to do this to win"

Bernie Sanders admits that Kamala is hiding her Marxist ideology to win the election:

 Almost a billion people used 𝕏 last month! 
 The right to bear arms is there to protect free speech and stop a tyrannical government from taking your rights away!

That’s why the first thing that all tyrants do is disarm the people, just like Chavez did when he was first elected. After that, no more real elections in Venezuela. 
 Humanity is doomed if the extinctionist philosophy that led to the Mad-Max-in-real-life of downtown San Francisco propagates to the world 
 That’s the plan 
 Nice 
 SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable.

Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. 

It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface of Mars. That needs to be improved to $100k/ton to build a self-sustaining city there, so the technology needs to be 10,000 times better. Extremely difficult, but not impossible. 
 This is crazy

 SpaceX is a separate company and they did even claim that SpaceX/Starlink broke any laws. Purely capricious. 
 😂 
 Sure would be a strange reason to shut down the US government 🤔 
 He did this for vast numbers of accounts. 

No question that he engaged in election interference in Brazil at large scale. 
 They should take you up on the offer. You are super fair.

 The more the people of Brazil learn from the @AlexandreFiles, the worse it will get for him. 

He violated the constitution of Brazil repeatedly and egregiously, after swearing an oath to protect it. 

Nothing worse than an oathbreaker. 
 Exactly 
 Exactly. 

This platform does not seek to impose the laws of the United States on other countries – we obey the laws of that country in that country. 

The problem in Brazil is that @AlexandreFiles we were being told to break Brazilian laws and that we would be sanctioned if we told anyone about it! 
 True. 

I was just with some friends who were saying that their feed had become more toxic lately. 

Turns out they had been sharing examples of toxic posts with each other, which makes the algorithm think you love toxic posts.

 I keep telling people that this guy @alexandre is the dictator of Brazil, NOT a judge. He just wears that as a costume. 

He has supreme executive, judicial and legislative power, aka dictator. 

The cloak he wears is to trick fools in the West into thinking that he’s a judge. 
 The current Brazilian administration likes to wear the cloak of a free democracy, while crushing the people under its boot 
 Great work by the SpaceX team
