it was. it got us the nazis. letting a single confederate officer (who wasn’t a double agent or something) avoid the noose was such a huge mistake. not dispossessing everyone who claimed to own another human completely was also a mistake.

yeah brave always felt gross and i remember them doing shady crap for years.

im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump’s dick down his throat. well, as far as it’ll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can’t really be trusted to not snitch at this point.

the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.

yep, every single officer needed to hang if we wanted to genuinely win that war. at least have their families banned from holding any government office, elected or otherwise, and from holding more than a certain amount of property, for a generation or two.

and does that word mean anything in this context?

sparing so many nazis the noose was kind of a huge mistake. re-wilding huge portions of germany would have been the move to try and cut out this social cancer. we transplanted that shit into every world power after the war.

this shit is so embarrassing. death to america, so we can take this down. please.

there’s not even a grain of truth here; they thought he word ‘transgenic’ meant remotely the same thing as ‘transgender’. or thought nobody would check.

but of course; the poor are not.

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn’t actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don’t even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there’s no alternative.

fascists really love LLM’s. like ridiculously in love with them. it’s where all their ‘art’ comes from. it’s made of the shallow aesthetics with no interiority they love so much. plus it doesn’t really require articulating your desires much, or having artists.

fascism must always create more outsiders, must always create more enemies to keep control, to keep things directed.

remember, fascism appropriates genuine upset and the fact that to the privileged, equality feels like persecution. it steers itself by creating enemies to hate. remember: people’s lives are genuinely fucking miserable. there is dystopian shit happening. and all of that is really complicated, and if people stopped to think about it for five minutes, they would pull a 1789.

so they just keep adding more enemies, and more derangements like what the qanons call ‘baking’ but hitler just said was the way everyone should read books, until they live in a totally unhinged fantasy world, and any method of social control must engage with the fantasy.

tl;dr: sacrificing external allies to fuel a persecution complex, keep control, entrench the madness, keep attention off the american elites that were at least rhetorically some of the initial targets.

can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?
