I noticed the wikipedia page for Meir Kahane who was assassinated in 1990, said that his party was banned for racism and and it used words like anti-democratic.
Those words did not exist in the American political vernacular back then, certainly not the way wikipedia poorly described it.
The information age has delved to the disinformation age

Course, back then we were just a bunch of real nerds.
““tribal knowledge” — information that was passed from older members of the team to new members”
That is the way the old Guild system worked.
Don’t tell anybody but your tribe how to do something to protect your jobs.
It happens today with IT projects. The folks that built it retire. Nobody new knows how to do it that way. Remember the Y2K horror stories and the search for the hold coders?
So they spend buckets o’ money on new tech, with new folks that will be gone in a few years. Rinse. Repeat.
Great for the Tribe. Bad for everybody else.
Bull Shiite. Northrop-Grunman builds and repairs and, like all aerospace companies, has every revision level of every plan archived.
That (DIE) and Tic Tok have destroyed us, particularly the White portion.
They do not build them, but they do maintain them.

“Diversity hires in US military cannot repair or make new ICBMs because they don’t understand the technology”
What a surprise. First of all, the public school systems fail to teach the basics of STEM technology, relying upon the DEI curriculum as their measure of “education”, and secondly, the “diversity” enlistees and officers are much less motivated to be “the best they can be”.
Those with a sense of entitlement fail to understand the importance of excellence. After all, they are already “excellent”.
Yeah, right.
Same issue with NASA. They had to build a different engine for the Artemis booster because it was impossible to find enough highly-skilled technicians to build the F-1 engine again. We have definitely lost the generation of competent, motivated, dedicated machinists, welders, and electricians.
In the case of ICBMs, Lockheed-Martin will have the plans and can restart production if necessary, just like Northrop-Grunman does for the Spirit and Boeing would do for their 747s. All part of the plan and the contract.
I like the detective work on the propaganda but the problem is real. 60 years ago boys were assembling model rockets, model cars, electric motors, erector sets, model planes, ships…. These all grew up and walked into Boeing et al wanting to impress the world. Without that generation the moon was an impossible dream for JFK. And… ICBMs never need replaced? Ok….
“Bull Shiite. Northrop-Grunman builds and repairs”
No... The military repairs and maintains at the facilities. They are not going to give third parties access to repair and maintain nuclear missiles in sensitive launch silo installations. It would be stupid to do so.
Theres an old saying: If you want to make God laugh, just tell Him that you have a plan.

That about sums it up perfectly.
I had decades of I/T experience but I’m rusty on all of the things that I used to make work.
Because of bias against white males and age discrimination, I cannot work most of the jobs I get called for because I’m out of practice - but these systems still need maintenance.
Oh, and H1-B’s generally only hire each other. Until the lost arts cannot be found. It’s an interesting trap.
I’m not surprised this is happening in other disciplines.
Higher education results in lower standards and stupidity.
That about sums it up.
America went extra-stupid under the reign of the Lying Kenyan.
Which is how things like Bud Light, Target, Chik-fil-A’s recent idiocy, etc. keep happening.
And corporations simply cannot figure out what keeps going wrong.
Americans used to know what a president was back in the day,too. Now we’ve been without one for so long & it’s hard to remember.
