A Collection Of Masterposts

A collection of masterposts

Hey people, I wanted to share with you this project I’ve been working on the side for a couple of months now: I made a Google Drive with doc files filled with lnks to all the masterposts that were collecting dust in my drafts. I went trough 200+ posts and collected links of all kinds of posts, sites, and other useful stuff.

This is the link: X

In there you will find different Google docs filled with links to masterposts about each issue. I also copied and pasted images/text of posts that weren’t masterposts for direct reading. The most important thing that I did was checking almost every link in each masterpost (around 90%) and making sure the majority of the links still worked to this day (27 Jan 2021). This way you know all these links are usable, and in addition I wrote next to every link if the masterpost is more or less still working. I tried to use as link the original post, but if that wasn’t possible I linked the post in my own blog.

Each doc I compiled talks about certain issues, but if you’re not finding what you need do look in other docs, as there are a ton of different links in other docs that might lead you to what you need.

There is also a link to another collection of masterpost made by byeletchachki that I stumbled upon while making this (in HTML format, download it to access it), and a folder of other Google Drive collections, full of other interesting stuff that you should check out.

I’m planning to expand this by adding my personal TTRPGs collection, maybe some Mobile games installers, and in general other stuff I might love to share with you all, so do check it out every now and then to see if there’s something you might like. Also do message me with suggestions of other masterposts/files you think would be interesting to add! It might take some time if this post blows up but still, I’ll try to check and add everything ^-^

P.s. I did not check what each blog of each masterpost/post talks about, don’t think that because I linked their blog I support them, I just took the posts at face value

As much as I do love the ‘SpaceX is just burning money for no reason, Elon Musk is personally designing these rockets badly, the whole company is a joke, Elon’s going to blow up on his way to Mars’ banter, I think it’s important to reckon with the actual reality of SpaceX as a military contractor.

Their ‘Starship’ is not, and never was designed to fly to Mars - that’s a marketing scheme, and it makes no sense if you actually look at the vehicle. SpaceX is able to throw money at this project because they’ve got a military contract to produce it as a military cargo drone. Their ‘Starship’ is designed to deliver a C-130′s load of US military cargo to anywhere in the world within an hour.

SpaceX, from before its first ever launch, has been partnered with the US military - as noted in the incident where the company stranded its workers without food on an island owned by the US Army. SpaceX’s constant failures with their rocket come from a simple calculation - cost versus time. To slowly and methodically design a rocket such that, by your first test flight, you’re confident in it, is just that: slow. Blowing up rocket after rocket and iterating is fast, but expensive - but when you have military contractor money, it’s worth it.

This is far from SpaceX’s only time contracting for the military, having launched military payloads with their Falcon rockets, and even designed satellites for the military. There’s a reason only USAmerican citizens are allowed to work at SpaceX.

The image of SpaceX as an eccentric billionaire’s quest to colonise Mars serves as a marketing ploy which distracts from the company’s real existence as part of the US military industrial complex, beholden not to the Reddit-fueled whims of an egocentric moron, but to the massive economic and structural forces of modern capitalism.
