"Nonviolent protests" are a myth. That article has been debunked.

In 1986, millions of Filipinos took to the streets of Manila in peaceful protest and prayer in the People Power movement.

While in 2019, the presidents of Sudan and Algeria both announced they would step aside after decades in office, thanks to peaceful campaigns of resistance.

JFC. Sudan? This propaganda did not age well. Algeria is not much better. I'll stop here.

Definitely surrounded by family, friends, teachers, media, and many others who are super nice as they passively support fascism and genocide.

And you would never know from inside the imperial bubble.

What a world where people think this is new.

Imagine believing that empire actually gives a shit about Ukraine.

That’s not out of this world for ~~the type of tech~~ genocidal empire

Capitalists "need" billion dollar bombs to violently enforce their gross privilege.

Workers just need clean air, clean water, food, shelter, healthcare, etc.

It's no surprise who gets their needs met.

There is no "AI". There is no "age of AI".

This grifter slop is worse than anything generated by a machine.

Please define "free speech". Thx.

Yes absolutely. More generally "guard labor" is a huge proportion of servants under capitalism: cops, military, prison labor, security guards, surveillance, teachers, psychiatrists, etc.

Nothing surprising here. Violent enforcers of capital descended from slave patrols.
