I've been alarmed for three decades. I don't even notice the alarm bell anymore, it's just background noise at this point.

The oligarchy is a function of capitalism. Capitalism is the problem, its what brought us here. That's the cancer. It's an inherently unstable system which cannot sustain itself on a long enough timescale. It will consume everything, then itself, then collapse, taking us all with it.

We are caught in a system from which there is no escape and which dictates every facet of human civilization. It will not stop until it has consumed everything, at which point it will collapse, crushing humanity under the flaming rubble.

We are about to get great filter'd.

It wasn't a fuck up. It was wittingly perpetrated on us and the planet.

"Approaching"? lol

Why would he need protection from them? When was the last time security personnel offed the person they were hired to protect?

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? The wrong time of day? You don't recognize states on odd week numbers? Spineless!

Democracy and liberty is under concerted attack all over the world. We need to organize globally and rise up or we will lose everything.

I think what people don't understand is that this is a single step forward. They don't expect to be able to enforce it straight away. But this sets a precedent. It's a stepping stone. First get it written into law, then inch ever closer to their goal. Same thing with the UK, they know some people will find ways around it.

They don't need to get everyone, just most people. Then they can go after the skilled minority with harsher penalties or whatever.

Also, please don't think it matters for a second that they are tech illiterate- they are running errands for the big corporations and the wealthy elite, who have plenty of money to spend on technical experts to enforce the bullshit.

I haven't seen it and I won't, because almost every time they do these TV show reboots of film, it ends up being the same relationship drama shlock you see in every other show nowadays, basically universe flavored Danielle Steele novels.

Religion sells certainty. The world is a big unknowable mystery, and that's scary. So people are inclined to listen to anyone who is full of certainty and claims to know everything and how it all works and what to do.

This can't be fucking real...

It's real, isn't it...
