And then got sued by Blackrock for doing so. Capitalism will not relent until we force it to through mutual resistance.

This is obviously a reference to headlines using passive language when it comes to direct actions. So yes, it is dying, but not in some nebulous way.

You can get an entire kick ass 2/3 year old mini PC with everything included for the price of a single RPi4, let alone 5. And you don’t have to buy any kits or expansions to get full functionality.

Oh and that mini PC will have at least 2 - 3 times the specs of the RPi. It’s just not worth it anymore to buy Pis.

Stallman is proven right more and more everyday

Fascism demands war. It demands “sacrifice”, slaughter, for its existence and continuation.

Ur-Fascism literally worships strength and conflict as refiners of masculine, dominant ontology. We are talking about grifters yes, but not all of them, some on his cabinet are genuine, dyed in the wool fascists. Miller, Hegseth, Gabbard… And others.

All you need to do is bribe, convince, or threaten enough senators and other politicians to get your way when you’re in charge of the executive.

My conspiracy is they want to overturn the filibuster also so they can reinstitute the draft. They don’t have the numbers to do it ATM but they would if it’s out of the way.

Nature is extremely resilient and adaptable. Life has survived entire mass extinctions and come back flourishing

Show some respect. That’s our Lord and Slaver Supply Side Jesus you’re referring to.

Exactly. Chat Control being rejected is a minor victory unfortunately. There are VERY powerful actors and organizations behind the scenes for these policies.

I think they realized chat control wasn’t going to work, but do not abandon the watch post, they will be back with a different approach.

I think if the push against them is too strong, they’ll just go full dictator and enact autocracy. I mean we’re quickly marching there anyways but they have to go through some other steps before they just rid of Congress and the SC, though they might keep vestiges as an appeasement for the dumbest of the dumb.

I think we all know where this is going. And I want everrone who reads this to know, I am not an accelerationist and I am not giddy about this. But I don’t think there’s a peaceful way out of this, and that means a lot of people are going to die, like a lot, probably a lot of my loved ones and community, as well as potentially me. I’m not planning on sitting this one out on the sidelines. It’s either me and everyone I love in concentration camps/dead without a fight, or going down fighting and striving for a better world.

I just really don’t see many other options besides decades of resistance and guerilla warfare, which we don’t have the time for. In a few decades Earth will be so much worse due to an accelerated climate crisis. And this regime has shown itself to be part of a global threat, installing far right governments, or converting them alongside Israel and Russia. We literally do not have the commodity to not fight back with every fiber of being, when that time comes.

If climate change is already looking bad, it won’t just be the US pumping out full throttle carbon emissions, it will be most of the world. And yes, what we’ve done so far is laughable and pitiful, but imagine a world where green energy is banned for oil profits, and governments haven’t just stopped caring a little bit, but are actively determined to burn as much oil and coal as possible.

Based AF, I love defending myself from stormy weather. You know I got that semiauto umbrella on me, and several more for extra rainy days.

Apologies if I sound like I’m coming off doomer. I’m actually really not, I actually have a lot of hope and faith in the people, even if it seems hopeless right now. I think we get through this in community, mutual aid, resistance, and withholding our participation from the system.

I don’t think voting is going to change anything, not really… I still vote because I think it’s dumb not to, but I don’t expect to undo the master’s system with the master’s tools.

Let’s see: There’s them saying ICE will be at polling stations, there’s the SAVE act, there’s the war in Iran which Trump believes can stop elections, there’s always the classic Insurrection Act and Martial Law, there’s them claiming 2020 was stolen and therefore federalizing the election process. And then the redistricting, ending Mail In Voting, gerrymandering, threats, Dominion voting machines now being owned by a MAGA former election official.

All of that and people still think we’re having free elections?

The sheer amount of immigrants and POC who supported/support Trump is wild

Governments are inherently authoritarian. Just give it time enough and greed and corruption always surface

Genuinely… Wake the actual fuck up.

Decades of propaganda and ignorance is doing its job though.

Bonhoeffer would be disgusted by these people.

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.
