No, you’re absolutely right. But liberal capitalism decays into fascism or turns to it when threatened. And when liberalism has no teeth to stand up, and actively persecutes leftists more than the rising fascists, it is inherently complicit.

I want to make it clear that I think saying libs ARE fascist or as bad is absolutely stupid. But they can absolutely take part in making it possible to seize power.

Hey… How dare you bring logic into my eco-fashy views of “fixing” global suffering…

(Also not making fun of the comment you responded to, but those that I have seen so much on reddit.)

We still use anal gland stuff for cheap, faux vanilla flavoring 🤮🤮

If you have a spare hard drive lying around (rare amidst this storage famine), consider downloading Wikipedia and a few other things you would be interested in. There are multiple ways to do this, but I’ll recommend Kiwix.

Literally just for the sake of preserving and archiving information, for a bunch of reasons (fascist retconning, natural disasters, cyber attacks, etc…). You don’t even have to seed it or make it available publicly. Use it if you want, or throw the drive into a drawer.

If anyone are unable to do this, absolutely no worries. But to those who can, please do. It helps.

Poverty makes people do wild things. It’s an incredible weapon wielded by the rich.

I absolutely agree that joining the military is a crazy choice, and yet, propaganda works and desperation does unfortunate things to our instincts.

Yes. It’s very easy. You just install the app, download the offline resources you want, and turn on LAN mode which allows you to access the media from any device on the LAN, or VPN’d into the LAN.

GenZ is actually even more likely to get scammed than boomers. So no, not only have they not learned, they’ve actively gotten worse.

The study does acknowledge some correlationary aspects as opposed to direct reasons, such as increased online presence, but still… It’s real bad mama, it’s real real bad with these youths.

What about the billions ICE is spending on stockpiling weapons and vehicles, the increased military budget, rhe continued erosion of our rights, and the almost certainly rigged upcoming midterms suggests lawsuits and courts are going to be any impediment to the fascists eventually?

And no, I’m not saying we just roll over and give up. But I am being realistic with the way that most authoritarian regimes go, and how they consolidate all power. Trump campaigned on giving politice as much immunity as he could, and that includes the way that courts punish police oversight and brutality. He’s actually delivered quite well on the things that benefit him and his cronies. And since police serve as the Pinkerton class of capital, I think once he gets enough power, he will fulfill that promise.

Give DHS as much immunity as they need, CiA and FBI clearance and permissions up the wazoo, and anything else they need to stay in power.

You’re assuming that the police will actually sift through footage in a meaningful way instead of just trusting faulty, fascist trained ai algorithms. Like that one guy who got mistaken by an AI profiling systen at a casino for someone who was kicked out, and when handed his license to prove he was a different person, the cops LITERALLY just refused to believe the evidence of their eyes. They took him to jail because the almighty machine could never be wrong. The story is wild: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2026/03/11/ai-software-tells-cops-to-arrest-the-wrong-guy/.

I’m sorry that apparently this fascist threat isn’t enough for you to think it’s a big deal, but it is.

Exactly. No offense to the average liberal but this whole “but what will happen to all the compute and data centers when the AI bubble bursts” is so tiring.

Firstly, the fascist regime will absolutely bail out a few key companies. Secondly, all those centers will be used for mass surveillance, war games, predictive policing (and population control), and all the other shit in the fascist grabbag.

There is absolutely a level of speculation to this insane bubble. I’m not going to sit here and tell you to ignore the evidence of your eyes. Obviously there is an aspect of short sighted money chasing (pretty standard capitalist bs), and there is absolutely an aspect of corporate greed and the companies trying to outbuild, outcompute one another. But for the people at the top (Miller, Thiel, Elston, Musk maybe, and others), they absolutely have long term goals. They are definitely getting rich off the bubble and benefiting from the short term insanity, but there is more there.

These neofeudalist assholes want to see us in chains, under their ever watchful AI eyes.

Can’t deny the scientific experts

What the fuck are you on about??? Where did they defend billionaires?

Mother anarchy loves her children

Bonhoeffer would be disgusted by these people.

Thiel and the Heritage Foundation

I talked to my (((friend))) the other day, and he was saying that he went to a (((religious ceremony))) and afterwards he ate one of his favorite (((meals))) at a nice (((restaurant))).

Agree, it’s idiotic and not even that clever. These bigoted fucks think they’re being so sly.

Always. Almost every government is involved, bought, or silenced by now. In terms of imperialism, Epstein, global fascism, age verification, etc…

It definitely is. And it’s not incompetence or illiteracy, it’s the powerful and government institutions coming after all things privacy, anonymity, and autonomy. I had this gut feeling in summer 2024 that they would eventually attack and functionally ban desktop Linux, BSD, GOS, and other privacy tools. I just didn’t know how at that point.

They’re locking us into their systems, their rules, their information. I implore everyone to look deeper than surface level analyses. If you think they pirated all the information on the global web just to train their AI, you’re missing something. It’s deeper. My theory is eventually, they will lock all hardware and networking to gather information from their sources, and only their sources. They will hold back real information and access to it, while feeding us only what they want the populous to think.

They want us enslaved to them, in body, in mind, in “spirit”, in every way. The rich HATE us and genuinely want nothing but the absolute worst for us. Do not deceive yourself, these people are unimaginably evil and cruel. They want to hunt some of us for sport and feed the enslaved remainder us their delusional version of reality.

This is an attack, it is intentional, it is determined, and it is not stopping unless we stop it.
