Part of the difference now is that before it was the National Security type people that had the information, no the politicians themselves will be able to access it, as well as numerous outside groups able to hack the system. So it is a world of difference even if the internet is compromised on a basic level. Especially now with these computer programs able to sort and make assumptions however unfounded about people.
Holy shit, you did not make a typo, that is real they’re proposing to give him that. Holy shit, or Unholy shit as the case may be
Too long that poor oil has been held down, segregated, just because it is heavy crude with a high sulfur content It suffers rampant bigotry.
The government and taxpayers did not receive a single benefit from Iraq or Afghanistan despite paying for it all.
And yes true to form the CIA used money from the drug trade to pay for Black Ops we can presume.
But that does not mean that our political leaders and their donor Pals did not get oil from Iraq. All gains are privatized and kicked back to the polits.
We would not invade, they would blow shit up, blow up their infrastructure, bomb them. Even they are not stupid enough to do an invasion at this point in time.
What they would do is try to seduce a faction of the army to initiate a coup, maybe in that case we might contribute some troops to a specific action to help. I don’t think these guys are capable enough to pull that off though.
Cold War 2, the fascist boogaloo and the enemy within.
It is hard to appreciate anything the European Union is doing with their chat control.
I do not know if they are also trying to put everyone into the masturbatorbase, for national security purposes many governments now need to know every page you have considered whacking off to.
Also just so happens connecting your likeness and ID to your IP allows them to see everything you do and say online.
For the kids. The kids that will also have everything they do and say recording.
Did elon’s ridiculously high payment of $60 billion or whatever it was go through? And what was that just for one year?
The intrinsic value of the entire company is not more than 10 billion. The stock market is a joke.
It is not limited to the tech Nazis. Is a fairly large group of super rich, but I would add Elon Musk is just beef front clown of thiel and his technofascists. I think some yarvin fellow is the Brain Trust on it.
They want a market free from antitrust enforcement.
Preferably one with barriers to entry for new players.
Luckily for them that is exactly what they have. Or exactly as they have engineered I should say.
What we need is a restoration of the post-war years until the seventies when the Business Roundtable made a long game to overturn the New Deal and resulting reforms that led to the prosperity of the working class, never before rivaled in history. Not now obviously. We are quite rivaled in prosperity, well eclipsed by Western europe.
Obviously it wasn’t perfect in the post-war years but the rich after an obscene level of pay face 90% taxes. Banks could only operate in three states, consumer and Commercial Banking was separate, an originator of a Financial Security had to hold a percentage of that security until maturity, and Anti-Trust laws were enforced to name just a few achievements that have been undone in our modern era.
You are right that dropping the Constitution and making something new would lead to something worse at this moment in time. The Constitution is a solid framework however lacking it may be, it is just it is not honored by our political and Judicial Systems. We need a restoration.
The problem is they don’t care what we think. They think they can just bully us into voting for the lesser of two evils indefinitely as if the Republicans are not going to fix elections. The Democratic Leadership and power Brokers are hopeless.
Without new leadership we are fucked and 2028 might be our last chance before the fix is in tight. And it will have to be a popular aggressive campaign to overcome the fixes they are going to put in already.
A lot of people are voting reform, we all know they don’t know what the Republicans are necessarily.
With the Democrats running as the status quo in this time of the plutocratic stealing of our lunches, this was inevitable with Republicans running as a reform.
These Democrats need focus groups and studies to tell them what they should know already. Instead of making public opinion with a strong campaign they just play to the campaigns started by others.
We need new leadership. No shit, popular politicking is more popular in popular elections.
Vassals of the US, and by extension of the connected organized owner class, of corporations. Government is the middleman and the rich control them all.
There is a carrot, It is corruption. There is so much going on behind the scenes right now with these guys. Any carrot would be self-serving by the administration obviously. The president has made 3.6 billion dollars he would not have since he got re-elected, that we know about according to some journalists that looked into it recently.
The amount they have made under the table in deals through surrogates is surely a lot more than that. For reference it is estimated that Putin is the richest person in the world in reality.
The truly great see money as a means to an end, these guys see money as the end.
You haven’t seen anything yet as to increasing the debt I am afraid. Every and any excuse they will milk the credit card.
If they do manage to make a supreme leader that sticks they will ad hoc default by over printing money and paying off the debts with that devalued currency.
Probably doing it at the behest of the western oil companies.
Oh I know it, I was referring to the populace being leftist I should have been more clear, all of our cities have right wing fascist police forces it seems. The politicians are subordinate to them not the other way around. They could take down any of our politicians and they know it.
In 2020 and several years before the police were sharing intelligence with the counter protesters, warning them about police actions, telling them where the protesters were going, a resting the protesters and letting those right-wing counter protesters go. But not just there, Berkeley California had something similar, propublica did some reporting about it back at that time.
As I referred to classically, it refers to 2,000 years ago or more. Which for a few centuries they had been subjugated by the Greeks and then Romans, the rulers of which adopted Eastern norms and declared themselves God and ruled as an all-powerful monarch.
