It doesn’t need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.

A climate talk being attended by polluters so they could run the clock, only to deliberately sabotage any conclusion from being made? The sun must have risen in the east today.

This is kind of the long and short of it. “Preparing for climate change” is doomsday prepping. There is no place you can move to and expect to never face struggle, if only because you will have to contend with refugees and a breakdown of critical supply chains, in particular food and clean water. “Land that is not underwater, on fire, or an unlivable desert” will be a prized commodity and you will be contested for it if you happen to be living on it.

Because when people write manifestos, they are often trying to convince the reader that they are highly intelligent more than they are trying to plainly explain themselves. They are usually a product of mania.

Teachers use AI to generate assignments, kids use AI to generate answers, teachers use AI to grade answers.

Yeah, we’re cooked.

Your wife is going to be grabbed out of your home and thrown into an unmarked SUV and you will never see her again. And you’ll let it happen because you would rather be a slave to a regime than confront the fact that you’re wrong.

American employers don’t even give you this anymore. You are escorted away by security and someone else empties your shit into a box and hands it to you in the lobby. They are very afraid of sabotage.

Not long at all. Add criminal charges and extradition orders by LA prosecutors against the devs for good measure.

Mismanaged or embezzled?

He means rewrite every narrative to his liking, like the benevolent god-sage he thinks he is.

Seems like a signal jammer is something someone would want if they wanted to fight back against an occupying force that heavily relies on radio communication.

Typically that is a customer-provider relationship, and ideally (but probably not in reality) that relationship is tightly regulated. At best this move is a breach of ethics.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power

-Benito Mussolini, some dude who probably knew something about fascism

I think basically everyone except North Korea is. Anyone who allows goods and people to move through their borders with any level of freedom can theoretically get attacked like Russia did.

I’d imagine it’s a fool’s errand to try and find threads of logic and consistency in the profoundly schizophrenic.

Anyone who builds tools explicitly for mass surveillance of the public is a collaborator, no matter who writes their paycheck.

And don’t let the narrative be “MegaCorp built these tools.” No, human beings with names and ostensibly consciences built these tools for MegaCorp. They are just as guilty if not more so.

Developers like this should be considered collaborators with fascist elements.

Just like the American Confederacy, there is a sizeable “lost cause” myth surrounding white-colonized South Africa and Zimbabwe/Rhodesia among racists. This is simply an offshoot of that rotten tree.

They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.

Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.

I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.
