Why is no political parties focusing on rare earth metals?

The future will be built out of these metals, from cell phones, to car batteries (which won’t contain a drop of oil), all the way to warp drives that power rockets for interstellar travel. So tell why exactly the most powerful country on earth is so short sighted that no investment is being made in this field and it’s not being talked about?! While we’re in Iran focusing on oil and all that, our main enemy is building massive infrastructure and out passing us on a massive scale in this field. Once ai is perfected they can use it to subjugate us into submission. Anyone who has that will have godlike power, just look into the singularity if you don’t know about it already if ai doesn’t go rouge and do it itself. My cousin seems to believe that we need oil for the super bunkers so they can wait out the chaos of a giant world reset like straight out of Fallout. What do you guys think?

Why do the left criticize Republicans for being conservative while ignoring Muslims, who are equally conservative?

Republicans are conservative, but Muslims are also conservative. If not for religious differences, Muslims would likely be a solid voting base for the Republican Party. Aside from differences in faith, their views actually align in many ways.

If, in the future, the United States were to become a Muslim-majority country, the Republican Party would shift from a party rooted in Christianity to one rooted in lslam. I think Muslims would be more likely to align with the Republican Party, rather than support the Democratic Party, which tends to advocate for openness, secularism, abortion rights,and LGBTQ+ rights.

Most gay people, in general, have no choice but to support openness and inclusion, because in an unaccepting environment they may not be able to live safely or openly. However, for Muslims, they may not necessarily need to support openness and inclusion in the same way.

Falklands

Listen yanks, the falklands aren't up for debate or "review".

Your president is a diplomatic liability. The majority in the UK now resent the US and conversations about removing US military and espionage bases are common, as are talks about how to rid ourselves of american technologies.

Many believe that China and Iran are more credible than the US. He's done that in a very, very short amount of time by insulting, threatening, abusing and embarrassing allies.

Charlie boy will visit, and the world will wince as Trump makes a fool of himself in front of a royal with centuries long links to almost every other country. They'll align themselves closer to Europe and Britain, and further from the US.

America first my foot. He's turning the world against America.

Genuine question from an Australian

It seems Americans will have massive protests for anything but the war going on right now and the clear genocide happening in in the Middle East

I want to know why I haven’t seen protests against Israel

(Also fun fact my stepdad is a lying cunt (wasn’t the original fun fact I fact checked it and it was wrong:(()

Relocating in a week, where do you usually find weekend activities in the Bay Area?

Hey everyone! I'm relocating to the Bay Area in a week & I'm trying to be more intentional about weekends instead of defaulting to the same routine. I'll be relocating there alone so I'm happy to make new friends & meet new people (great if there are any apps that help with organising that kinda stuff).

Curious where people usually look for things to do around the Bay! Events, outdoors stuff, random activities, etc.

Do you have go-to apps, sites, or communities you check? Preferably a friendly and non toxic community please :')

Do many Donald Trump supporters just not like speaking up online?

Last year, just looking at Reddit, TikTok, and X, it seemed like almost all the voices were supporting Kamala Harris. Unexpectedly, Donald Trump ended up winning and he even won all the swing states.

The Mental health crisis

There is a problem in Florida especially Hillsborough that I see because it’s where I live. Adults and children alike being ignored because they have been diagnosed with a mental or physical disability. If they say something do not assume it to be false until you know and understand. There is some fantastical things going on here locally that you may not believe. So listen and assume it to be true until you see and know it is false. Some are being abused no… a LOT are being abused by mental health providers locally in fantastical ways. I’ve seen it from every side almost and something must be done locally because there’s a large amount of fraud and abuse going on here with mental health which many do not have incurable mental illnesses… they have temporary sexual psychological and physical abuses being performed on them by nearly everyone in the system. Listen believe and fight for your family and loved ones neighbors ect. It’s totally unbelievable what is happening some would say they have supernatural abilities at high levels but they have technology to abuse your family AND THAT IS THE TRUTH… believe it until proven otherwise if proven otherwise ask why lie! we live with Scientology reigning in Clearwater so before sending people to be abused or held for financial gain ask why!

Patriots Day

Patriots Day should be an American Holiday, not just a Massachusetts state holiday. So why isn't it?

-------

The Battles of Lexington and Concord on 19 April 1775, the famous 'shot heard 'round the world', marked the start of the American War of Independence (1775-83). Politically disastrous for the British, it persuaded many Americans to take up arms and support the cause of independence.
