I would be shocked if Platner hadn't been a habitual drunk driver for long stretches of time, given everything else we know about his character.

He didn't bring in conservatives, his appeal was that he would juice turnout among the grassroots working class left who are now politically homeless due to the DNC's increasing moderation.
Obviously, it's not based on an accurate worldview.

What’s wrong with having 7+ kids?

No? Fascism is a specific thing. Obligations to the community is much much broader.

There are economic use cases for space, but they’re for ‘oil rig in the ocean’ human presence, not building full scale colonies.
There are civilizational reasons for expanding off earth- dark forest hypothesis, manifest destiny, etc- but even if you agree with them, earth simply doesn’t care. In another age, we’ll care more, when western civilization rebirths itself once more. But that might be in centuries, only this time with mature technology.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills- be entered her house uninvited and forced himself on her while she was saying no multiple times. In what universe is that ‘unenthusiasm’ rather than ‘actual rape’? Literally, what would qualify as rape to the people defending this behavior as ‘eh, hookup culture gets messy’?

I can’t believe we’re on the same page against here and gone on the definition of rape.
To be clear- I believe women, even sexually active women, are perfectly capable of refusing consent, and that verbal statements that they are doing so should be taken at face value.

But in this case she was saying no multiple times and was physically forced into it- assuming her story is accurate. That’s a pretty textbook definition of lack of consent.

This accusation isn’t date rape- he entered a woman’s house after having been refused entry and then raped her. They weren’t on a date(although they had been in the past).

But she did say no. Literally, multiple times.

The actual Babylon bee headline is ‘Rape Allegations Mar Reputation of Local Nazi’.

On the other hand, the idea that living for oneself is a bad thing is not new- the old style expression of it would have been that you lived for the community, and having children was part of meeting obligations to those around you.

They are likely to fail again, yes.

The DSA will be uncompetitive nationally- woke capital is woke capital which the DNC relies on. Squad candidates win only in deep blue districts and the machines democrats rely on aren’t too enthusiastic about them.

Trump's lack of imprisonment- and that of his close associates- is not due to lack of trying.

They failed at imprisoning Trump and most of his close associates, though.

The immolation of the Democratic Party and the rise of Zohran Mamdani Thought would be a development not necessarily in Elon's favor.
Zohran Mamdani thought is an electoral winner when it has a uniquely talented politician leading it and it's running in a deep blue progressive city. The squad loses badly elsewise.

To say nothing of SpaceX being unable to foot the bill for a defence budget regardless.
If this woman is telling the truth, then it was rape- she said no(in fact told him that before she showed up at her house) and never changed her mind. I would certainly be willing to believe that she's lying, but it seems a lot more likely that her story- she was agonizing about telling someone because she supports him politically(she does seem to legitimately be a progressive democrat), eventually told NYT, they tried to sit on it, but then it leaked- to be true.
She didn't fight him off because she couldn't, she was scared, etc. That does not equal consent. She straight up told him no.

Normal blue collar guys aren’t casually raping people.

Is this the same here and gone?
This woman made a few bad choices(having a previous hookup with platner). Then afterwards he invited himself over and she told him not to come. She unwisely didnt lock the door so he just let himself in. Then she told him to stop while he grabbed her and tried to mount her. If that’s not rape, what is?

Why do you think Bourdain’s suicide had a specific catalyst? By all accounts he struggled with mental illness, lived a lifestyle that doesn’t exactly root people in their lives, and it could easily have just been his unlucky break; no doubt he’d been close to suicide before.
It's entirely possible they can release some conversations with a young lady considerably younger than seventeen.
