Everyone on a jury should argue this. “I can’t trust the bodycam footage. Could be Sora. I have reasonable doubt.”

Nukes. Europe will never liberate us. We have nukes. And drone strikes. Raiding the shore of the USA would be an act of war, and the response to a nation-ending threat like that fr a nation with nukes is Mutually Assured Destruction.

I’ll also note that the whole world right now is trending towards Fascism; So support for a War with the USA is unlikely. Wars always suck; and there’s a good portion of every European nation who would want the USA to win, who could leverage the impact of war to breed discontent.

What are they supposed to do? Kill trump? I guess they could take out the supreme Court while they are rampaging.

I mean, yeah? Every day they waltz into a room full of genocidal maniacs wielding the world’s most powerful military and most widespread surveillance networks - a room which I would be immediately attracting suspicion by just attempting to enter. These power-hungry maniacs are laughing in our face because they know people will shrug and roll over as they write the “Keep Power Forever” bill.

I know most people will roll their eyes at this, but think for a second – our laws have been overturned, our way of life has been destroyed. We’re living in the husk of a society that is literally being bulldozed, and you expect poor, disabled, and otherwise vulnerable USAmericans to shrug and say “well they can’t legally do anything”? While our lives are destroyed?

The truth is, Democrats’ real chance to stop this was in the decades before, during which they deliberately did not act, with leadership and politicians alike choosing to enrich themselves by bending to corporations; allowing the standard of living in this country to become absurdly intolerable; fostering wealth inequality worse than that of pre-Revolution France; watching us die while keeping this dog-and-pony show going to keep us all distracted.

Female Hitler let’s goooooooo!!!

Now, normally seeing a question in the headline suggests the answer to that question is “no”; but I’m not sure the “Now” is “normal”

Thank you for sharing this with me. I hadn’t heard of this theory or the documentary. As I read, this is everything I’ve been seeing; just people being ushered from work to home, shutting themselves off from the world to do meaningless busywork.

put on App Store aaaaand it’s gone. And Google’s blocking it on Android.

Ooh definitely. Everything from childhood is so structured: Structured youth sports; Structured socialization through social media; Structured dating with algorithmic match-ups; Even applying for jobs now is largely done through apps. Every system feels so obfuscated and de-personalized. As Gen Z growing up in the 21st century, the internet was the only place I could actually meet people, but for the last decade those spaces have been restricted by major corporations and inflicted with this “Protect the Kids” surveillance mania.

It feels like independence and social freedom have just been forgotten. I’m genuinely worried that young USAmericans do not understand the value of autonomy and anonymity, because they’ve grown up in a world with everything structured and surveilled – and have grown used to funneled from station-to-station, even outside of school and work. It’s hard to form a revolution movement when the masses have had a mixture of learned helplessness and “hustle culture” ingrained in them.

There’s a dating app, and a social media app, but no “Revolution” app. ChatGPT isn’t designed to suggest violence to you, but it can post a hotline copline that can tell you to go to a hospital. There are social media posts for BetterHelp and “Hims”/“Hers” (mentioned in article), while the posts calling for bricks in windows get suppressed, shadow-banned, or outright blasted. The more I think about this, the more I realize how vital that internet control was.

I keep coming back to the thought that anti-depressants and the mass-adaptation of therapy – both of which are designed to pacify clients – are the reason that the Western world has gotten so bad with such little push-back.

In the past, Major Revolutions broke out over shortages of food and infringements of freedom (like the French and American Revolutions). And today, just the president of South Korea declaring martial law got the streets flooded on no notice. Hong Kong had massive resistance movements over the CCP censoring their media; Yet the USA has been declining for decades and people mostly let it happen. Yes there were protests – Occupy Wall Street, the Veteran anti-war movements, and yesterday’s No Kings protests – but we are facing state-sanctioned mass-terrorism, and now have Gestapo “secret agents” storming our streets; and people largely let it happen.

Looking at the proponents of targeted violence the USA has seen: Kirk’s killer, Tim Robinson, was a Mormon from Utah ; they’ve got religion and don’t believe in therapy. Trump’s attempted assassins were a young Republican man who realized Trump was a part of the international pedo ring; and two different elderly guys. Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, supposedly had many grievances with the healthcare system. These are all profiles that make me believe they’d largely reject therapy.

Meanwhile in spaces branded “progressive”, following the script on mental health seems to be the norm. One of the ways spaces are deemed progressive is by “acknowledging mental health”, which mainly means encouraging therapy and copy-pasting a bunch of disclaimers. Of course, the bigger picture of their movements are to improve the system, which would improve our mental health; but it feels like the “ask for help” virtue-signaling around mental health is far more prevalent than argument that “Yeah, you should feel that way. We shouldn’t put up with this shit any longer.”

I’m not making any broad call-to-action here. I’m just trying to dissect the idea that has baffled me for years: How the system could be pushed this far. How fascist politicians and greedy corporations alike could make the system this bad, and people continue to tolerate it. How feminists and the queer community could be this visible, and yet as fascists declare war on them I’ve hardly heard any calls for violence. Yet alt-right teenagers go out and attempt to blow up pretty cheerleaders because they can’t get laid; burn down houses of politicians they don’t like; randomly assault trans women on the street. What empowers them, and why are we so passive?

he also posted, twice, J.D. Vance’s AI clip of Trump putting on a crown.

I hope what everyone remembers of the USA as a whole is that we’re the nation that let a bunch of rich pedophiles and Silicon Valley tech nerds take over a country, culminating with hundreds of billions of dollars spend to make a tool that slops out propaganda and algorithms that cultivate delusion. Raegan, Bill Clinton, Obama, Bush, Biden – all deserve to be remembered in that light. Yes, even Obama and Biden, who made deals with Peter Theil and allowed bill corporations and tech-freaks like Mark Zuckerberg to grow unimpeded while selling all of our data and inciting genocide abroad.

And for the actual artists - let’s make some political propaganda. Memes are great, now I want to think bigger. The Epstein/Trump statue was beautiful. Make Music, more art; perhaps some video games.

I’m sorry. The guards just let it happen because they were threatened with angle grinders? not even ranged weapons? Do they not have TASERs?

The way that all this “AI” processing has been trained, it almost always fails for anyone who doesn’t fit the white middle-class aesthetic. Voice-to-text generative AI processing will screw up for people with accents, including non-native speakers; also someone who slurs their words, or talks in African-American Vernacular English. Also, it requires someone to know how to speak and listen in a language. Clicking on icons and inputting commands is the same regardless of what language you speak. This just reeks of out-of touch nepo-baby executives.

Cool. Let’s have another Biden-esque presidency that just leaves Americans unsatisfied to the point where they come out en-masse and vote for Vance because “it was better under the prior administration” until they realize that, whoops! they aren’t actually better under Vance, but now it’s too late.

Voting Biden in 2020 as a transitional candidate obviously wasn’t the right move. Establishment Dems are the reason the non-political Americans get rallied against “the Left”. All that figures like Biden and Newsom do is empower “both sides” political apathy.

I think USAmericans gotta hit the streets, now, yelling “We won’t vote for Gruesome Newsom” just in case we do get a 2028 Election. If we don’t destroy his campaign now, he’ll be ushered to the front of the Democratic Primary like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

Absolutely. https://apnews.com/article/trump-ai-rfk-jr-health-tech-fa73703bd1fd557c787ef0b590e151f1 (second paragraph)

More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system.

oh, yeah, of course Musk’s companies go on there… and I saw a few things about Oracle’s surveillance efforts.

Benny Johnson is a serious prolific MAGA influencer that has been invited out by the administration to cover Alligator Auschwitz in Florida. Benny’s podcast was also why Jimmy Kimmel’s show got suspended - a member of this Republican administration made a veiled threat about Kimmel on Benny’s podcast and that is why Disney took the show down.

What happened to “Don’t share your real identity online”? Oh… Social Media.
