Rebel now

Today was a test fire of a falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX is sending a top secret govt spy satellite on sunday.
There are about 190 govt/military satellites in orbit compared to about 300 of all commercial. I heard your country is not socialist. You are bringing up a big brother.

You may choose what part of above you want to reply to.

290 govt/military satellites
My bad

What?

What part you don't understand?

Nah, those satellites aren't for spying on the USA, they are for spying on YOU!

Of course a spy satellite's time is much too valuable to be wasted on anything but other state actors.

I can't follow your train of thought.
>satellite launch for government hardware
>there's a bunch of government satellites in orbit
>your country isn't socialist
>you're bringing up a big brother (inviting totalitarianism?)

I don't know what military satellites have to do with socialism or authoritarian policy. Besides, the NRO has had satellites more powerful than the Hubble for decades, and satellite imagery isn't the only tool for a surveillance operator nor is it the most important. This wouldn't be a drastic step in any direction.

That enormous amount of money required to put as many satellites out there as the ones, that pay for themselves. And you don't even know what exactly are they used for. You have no access.

You say, you don't want more taxes, that govt should be "smaller". You don't want to pay for parasites of society that do not work. Yet you spend your money for a gigantic machine to control you.

Total control. Inside and outside. You and me.


Also a SpaceX thread ;^)

What does this specific spy satellite do? Why mention this one out of the other 190 ones?

>You say, you don't want more taxes, that govt should be "smaller". You don't want to pay for parasites of society that do not work. Yet you spend your money for a gigantic machine to control you.

Yeah, that doesn't mean I agree with it. I'm not the federal government, I just agree to live under their laws. Can you go back to please?

No reason other than it's this one this week.
Or maybe this one is somehow important? How would we know, it's top secret.

How much shit can you take before you try to fight?

"Fight" would imply armed revolution. Who would you hand it over to? There's no group in America today I would have try to overthrow the federal government. The result would be less democratic than it is now.

Only thing average people can do is petition congressmen and elect officials they trust, but I know the argument to this part.

>There's no group in America today I would have try to overthrow the federal government.
Then start one. Don't be "average". Why did everyone shit on Jill Stein? Because media said she can't win? Your society has no will and theserves all that it's coming.

What exactly am I supposed to start? What does the prophet say is the way to salvation?

communi-buddism. Whatever. You figure it out with your newly started group.

For a start even direct democracy would be better than oligarchy behind a facade of democracy. Demand of your govt to let people create referendums that will change policies on federal level, including throwing out politicians.

Nice, I'll just start my own totalitarian death cult to replace the bipartisan system with instead. Good plan thanks.

You'd rather wait for all the methane lakes on Syberia to evaporate?

I ask you again:
How much shit can you take before you try to fight?

>methane lakes
I'm done lol

I hope you're right. Many happy thoughts for you.

So there are a total of 290 + 309 artificial satellites in orbit? TIL.

The gubmmit works for us, we vote them into office.

I think you mean the vast amount locked up in permafrost that is thawing.

Just the American ones.
Here is a table:

Methane lakes inside and under permafrost.
If it's not that, something else will get us. Humans are trying hard to put things out of balance, instead of playing it safe.

>The gubmmit works for us
Yeah, right.

Can't wait for the big brother to spend millions of dollars scanning my computer for trap porn. Truly I live in fear thinking what they will do with the information that I find dicks hot.

>I'm not doing anything so I'm ok.
You're fucked because you're not doing anything.

You entirely missed my point.

jokes on you
i never leave mummys house anyway
