   I’ve been listening to a watch podcast (disgusting, as they all are) because I wanted background noise at work, and I’ve come up with a new angle I will doggedly pursue with snobs and normies alike.

   The episode from “Beyond the Dial” talks about the Omega Speedmaster, the “Moonwatch” as they never shut the hell up about it being, and its place in the overall space race. The Speedmaster IS a classic, but has grown to be synonymous with space travel because it was the only one officially approved for EVA operation by NASA back in the day.

   until then, most astros and pilots used better, more function-first watches, stuff like the Breitling Cosmonaut w/ a 24 hour dial or the older Navitimer w/ a slide rule calculator. Since then, Omega has milked the moonwatch association to an absurd extent, drilling it into the industry in every mag, website, and year as they issue ten thousand minute variations of the same 1950’s mode.

     So in this ep, one guy talks briefly about how he “really likes Kamala Harris, she’s had an amazing career”, and the other says “it’s just gross to harken back to the NASA moon landings, when white supremacists just took over the capital shouting MAGA, which is essentially the same thing”

     They whine about how the space race was too “american” and selfish, as if everything the US did back then should have been done under this utopian banner of humanity, of good for all. It’s very childish and silly, and they also talk about how great star trek is and how Trump is way too eager to militarize space, yadda yadda.

     It’s the same faggy, city jew nonsense derived from a total void of human interaction with non-programmed people, where they really think normies should be content to pay hard-earned cash and donate their efforts to the ‘greater good’

     Anyways, my point is this:

     The Moon Belongs to Nazis

     If snobs like this are now wringing their hands over the inherent pride and Americana of the moon landings in the public eye, then there’s a really fun avenue to attack, where we can denigrate it as being inherently and thoroughly “white supremacist”.

     Sorry bucko, NASA was just a white man’s ego project meant for patriarchal glory, built by nazis, for white supremacist citizenry with nary a BIPOCLGBTQIA++ in sight!

     And they try to talk about how the industry of watch nerds needs to start paying more attention to the “Artemis program-“, you know, the thing you’ll never see without its necessary coda: “- which will put a woman of color on the moon!”

     It’s very funny and silly to me how so many of these little things intertwine, seeing how desperate the government and these hangers-on of the jew system are to see negress astronauts stomp out the footprints of Apollo with their rainbow-colored clogs.

     @Riamu Not that impressive when you find out they only had like, 4 options in testing. It was pretty half-assed, where they went to a texas jeweler and bought whatever had a chronograph. I think the omega passed more or less by luck, IIRC one of them popped its plexiglass top off in testing, which later happened on one of the landing ones, which led the dude to use his own private Bulova

     It’s, like so many things, bureaucratic hype. I still like the design, but more for it’s handsome layout, and construction as a white engineer’s watch from postwar industry than its use under NASA. Well, I guess I didn’t like it that much, since I sold mine.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I can't really blame omega for milking the shit out of the speedmaster as the moon watch. I feel like that is justified considering no other watch passed the cut at the time. Elite club for sure.

     the nasa space program was hitler's ultimate backup program, to flee to his moonbase and prepare for the third world war

     @Tactical @WashedOutGundamPilot Some say he succeeded.
     
     I mean, he lived a full life in Argie but his grandson is in command of the Lunar command station now. The moon shall rise again.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot It's always a blast watching shitlibs seethe about operation paperclip because every single nazi was apparently a baby eating vampire that personaly murdered over 9000 jews by hand.
