Russian, Indian, Egyptian…anywhere where there are poor people to exploit. Derek from Veritasium made a video studying and tracking troll farms years ago. A lot of those troll farms are from the usual suspected countries, where dire poverty push them to desperation, and are exploited by powers-that-be.
Free press for the rich, not for plebs.
What happens when education becomes commodified.
I bought my brother Kobo precisely because of being privacy and consumer friendly.
Sam’s first business was an app tracking each other with you and your friends. It sounded useless at the time but it was probably a precursor idea to surveillance capitalism.
I think there was an Iranian official working in their censorship board, who sent explicit messages to a young Iranian man telling him he wants to fuck him so hard.
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!
Let them, and see how the country won’t function without the 100 million able bodied people.
At least for non-US renewables, their stock prices had been less volatile compared to others. Renewable energy in the US isn’t going to do well so long as Trump is in power.
I assume that by conservatism, the author means classical liberalism. I mean, he’s not wrong. Although, conservatives have historically sided with fascism because shared interests in one form or another.
Violence is only the last resort, but Americans should learn to make DIY weapons in case another civil war breaks out, because it is unlikely that Donald will concede power when the time comes.
There is an episode about robot dogs in Black Mirror…
At this stage, I am willing to go to Mars. There is less chance of techbro oligarchs wanting to destroy the world and killer robot dogs wanting to kill us. Matt Damon has also provided us with a basic manual on how to survive Mars.
I don’t want a pony. Could I get a Batmobile?
Different system, same problem.
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.
