Our governments are largely populated by the criminals

“They trust me. Stupid fucks!”

Probably because most backup solutions, especially mobile, are inadequate. Telling employees to wipe their phone and having 5% lose their 2FA, important docs, or whatever is worse than the 0.01% probability of their phone being searched.

I’ve been wiping all devices when crossing borders for a decade, but I don’t use big tech (non E2EE) cloud, and the whole process is the most stressful part of international travel for me.

It is also a shit company, that should be boycott if there are smaller, independent, local alternatives.

I hope bending the knee to fascism loses them far more in tuition.

Winston Smith works in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite historical documents so they match the constantly changing current party line. This involves revising newspaper articles and doctoring photographs—mostly to remove “unpersons”, people who have fallen afoul of the party.

“States rights” = “localized tyranny”

Like everything they say, the argument was only made in bad faith.

Failed state

The oligarchs are probably just using retirement funds to transfer the losses from their criminal cronies to the people.

What they’ve achieved is irrelevant. They’re never gonna achieve 99.999% with standard cameras + AI for decades. Elon can’t magically manifest the safety of Lidar through hopes and prayers; yet he believes he can, so the only logical conclusion is that he’s a complete fucking moron con artist, only skilled at separating people from their money.

If you don’t understand this yet, print me out some examples of your best code, and email me a list of your top accomplishments from the last week!

“You’re not understanding me bro. We’ve solved all of societies problems already. The only way we can trim the fat, is by seeing if all the elderly people with dementia and alzheimers can survive in abject poverty.”

All we have to do to achieve this empathetic utopia, is give the Bourgeoisie a few trillion in tax cuts! Welcome to thunder-dome, BITCH!

Luckily, for him, absolute cognitive dissonance is a prerequisite to being a Trumpist.

Everybody knows that you only attain free speech when you control a platform with hundreds of millions of users and can ban anyone you disagree with at any time, for any reason.

I’m hoping they continue with the extremism. Worst case scenario was Trumps admin continuing business as usual. A slow and calculated takeover would make the warnings of fascism appear to be a lie. Our only hope now is that the fascists are as stupid as they appear —as stupid as the electorate — stupid enough to push too hard, too fast, and turn the majority of the domestic and international population against them before they achieve their goals. They’re well on their way!

At this point the only thing that could snap Republicans out of their mental illness is extreme pain and distress. I’m talking recession, extreme poverty, homelessness, starvation… millions of previously comfortable people becoming unemployed and destitute. These ignorant know-nothing bottom-feeders need metaphorical blunt force trauma to bring them back to their dumb as fuck reality. If that fails, they’re gonna end up causing literal blunt force trauma, and fascists aren’t ever gonna win this fight. We’re talking about anti-intellectuals who think critical thought is something you attain from quacks on youtube. They’re all gonna end up dead, but millions of innocent people will die before their loss is final.

If you don’t have a home you are, by definition, homeless… A car is not a home, and living out of one should never be normalized.

He’s been saying “fully autonomous” by next year for literally like 10 years, lol. Short memories indeed.

I believed in him since like 2001. I stopped believing in him by 2015.

Manufactured opposition, performing one of the most crucial tasks to facilitate the fascist coup.

Liberals are still extremely propagandised and will defend mass surveillance in the same breath as calling the US government fascist.

Like, you agree that our warnings were completely accurate — you’re handing over a surveillance apparatus to fascism, 1000x more powerful than anything the Gestapo or KGB ever had — yet you still defend its construction as a necessity? The cognitive dissonance required to hold those contradictions simultaneously is deafening, and en par with MAGA levels of mental illness. You can’t defend democracy or freedom while constructing an extra-judicial secret police and tools of fascist oppression…

I’d pirate a data center if I could

They just need to sell the concept of normality until the coup is complete and the great Trump depression hits America like a ton of bricks.
