And I don’t know how people keep eating this up.

He promised in 2024 Americans will not be voting anymore.

I’m not sure about step 4. I mean, China is pretty strict with those kinds of things.

Facebook in Philippines is literally free to use even for those without mobile data. However, people there don’t realise they are the product. Or worse, they don’t realise they are guinea pigs for social engineering by techno-industrial complex.

If blue MAGA and neoliberals could read this, they’d be very upset!

From a cynical standpoint, China is only doing it to become less dependent on fossil fuel, should a major war occurs and trade in South China Sea becomes disrupted.

But still, if this motivation adds to the overall development of renewable energy, it’s still a win.

It’s completely ethical to grift stupid and evil people. The issue of course is putting the time and effort to actually do it consistently.

Russian, Indian, Egyptian…anywhere where there are poor people to exploit. Derek from Veritasium made a video studying and tracking troll farms years ago.

The fascists learned from the Communist International and emulating it. The mistake of the fascists in the past was the excessive tribalist mentality. The Axis never really coordinated but instead made alliances of convenience depending on the heat of the moment.

To be fair, we have the GDPR in Europe, which puts people at ease. However, this could be weakened or rid of entirely in order for the EU to become more “competitive” some day. Even the climate change goals of the EU has already been weakened so that we could catch up to the AI race. As sad as it is, it’s just the realpolitik influencing decisions.

Wait until Le Pen or Bardella comes into power and remake the deal with American tech oligarchs, undoing Macron’s push for strategic autonomy. As long as the right in France isn’t killed, any attempt of decoupling will only be coupled back to US, because fascists have internationalise their ideas and coordination.

Does that mean Joe Rogan is Abella Anderson in disguise?

“wait? all that manly toxic bullshit I’ve been repeating as well is going to be applied to me, too?”

I’m convinced that some people are masochists.

I heard Republicans walked out of the House, en masse, not seen since the Great Depression. Which now that I think about it, that was nearly 100 years ago!
