jesus christ, dude. please listen to yourself.

did you know platner proudly worked in a notorious us torture camp, abu ghraib?

everything except making big tech fix social media.

they opted for tackier gold plated trinkets and greek pillars on big mcmansions.

basically the aesthetic of poor people getting filthy rich overnight from something like going viral on the internet.

it perfectly encapsulates the empty promises of modern us capitalism as opposed to the narrative of refined ubermensch.

you may not like it but this is what peak usian fascism looks like.

i like to call it the rise of fascism.

makes sense, oil is what makes them rich. and their riches themselves are the country’s main institution.

the things they claim to be in the name of national security are actually telling.

i like our chances of thriving in an alternative internet like in here, or building our own stuff that could be used for good. it’s is an immensely important resource some people take for granted and we should fight for it. however:

1 - the great majority of people accept it and the fringes are discarded as not profitable. the definitive wall where people draw the line goes further the more it’s normalized and the breaking point isn’t near. it’s already coming to your android phone.

2 - remember elected representatives don’t represent the people. they will go back at the slightest hint of disrupting business especially for banking and shopping. exemptions for the powerful aren’t out of the question on anything, plenty of that already.

3 - we are living through a global oil crisis that is starving people worldwide, many wars, genocide, nuclear tension and the rise of fascism. the splinternet is often talked about as being in the horizon. we are lucky to be in relative isolation so far.

things often seem inevitable because they are in bad shape. we are still scrambling over the ongoing fascism and we’ve been compounding the climate crisis without a care in the world.

i’m not saying it’s impossible or that we should quit. just that we need a realistic view of what we are up against, and who calls the shots right now.

if their go at web drm eventually ever comes to fruition, you can expect the fringe to be expelled from all but a few niche communities.

similar to what they are doing to private/custom android with the qr codes and play integrity and whatever else.

having another nazi in power will help no one, but i guess you will have to eventually find out.

you mean the guy admittedly joining the army to murder brown people abroad who got a very well known nazi symbol tattooed?

no yeah, it’s the billionaires who are brainwashing me into hating fascism.

maybe not lining up to justify, normalize and even pay for it.

nazi isn’t any better than nazi, it’s just more nazis.

take that, tankies

collectively deciding not to tolerate it at all is step 0. we seem to be missing it so far.

i’m actually rooting for overwhelming success, prove me wrong for doubting it.

can’t afford healthcare though

being high enhances the creative thinking necessary for the imitation.

you then imitate a contractor.

iran stays based.

no such thing as voting fascism out.

is one less lizard and one more nazi an improvement for you?

yes.
