I spent a few days with the in-laws for Christmas and in my down time did a deep, dark dive into #QElon’s ideology and motivations.
The shortest version I’ve come up with so far is that he’s in a billionaire eugenicist, transhumanist, white supremacist, anarcho-communist, Russian Cosmist science-fiction cult.
Unfortunately I’m dead serious about this.
This also offers a partial explanation for why he is literal Kremlin propagandist. He and Putin are deeply aligned.

This is soul-crushing, but needs attention. #Amtrak called the cops on two elderly black women because their small emotional support dog had an accident on the train. Amtrak collected their money, allowed the dog on board, then stranded the three on the side of the tracks in life-threatening cold, far from their destination, at Christmas. And except for one protesting passenger, the rest sat in silent complicity. White people, this is NOT okay. #Racism #BLM #BlackMastodon https://twitter.com/viewofone/status/1606825555462062080?s=61&t=M2hA_QVG5-2tJQX-vdmzsg
Bogdanov was also a science fiction writer who wrote a book about how a socialist technocratic government would take over Mars in case that sounds familiar.
And, he was an early promoter of blood transfusions as a fountain of youth. Until he died from one in 1928.
Another person very interested in this subject is Peter Fucking Thiel. #PFT

Dr. Vin Gupta: "Everyone is testing at home, they're not reporting those numbers. So the estimated infection rate is going to be much higher than what we're actually seeing in reported numbers."
Hey Qoto -- this is my new #introduction since I am new to the server. I am not new to Mastodon (2019, if I am not mistaken) but I've been using it at arms length and finding more and more reason to be here as more and more interesting people are coming over to the Fediverse.
I am passionate about #tech and #music. I work in the Video Game industry and I like new ideas, reason, rationality and intelligent discourse. My last instances were getting a little too China-like for me with the instance blocking so I stumbled upon this one and it seems like a good home. I'll give it a try for a while.
Don't like the Chinese surveillance state? Hate the social credit score? I do too, but don't feel too smug because you live in the US. We're not survielled less, it's just that we allow companies to do it here instead of the government. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/airbnb-banning-sex-workers/
To me, capturing the beauty of wildlife in motion is art, so on this 20th day of #ArtAdventCalendar, I offer up this Great Grey Owl moving to a new vantage point. #wildlife #owls
@DrHankPym Republicans have rejected repeated common sense and decent immigration reform plans over and over. It certainly is easier to demonize brown people applying for asylum than to actually try and solve any problems.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
