Yeah but you’d think if they cared about themselves, they’d realize how this hurts them long-term, too. These people don’t exactly have a history of taking personal security very seriously.
I think, really, the point is that they’re too short-sighted to see how this impacts more than just the people surveilled.
This is kind of funny because I know the pain of accidentally blocking a CDN I still need access to when it comes to my Pi-Holes.
Even more frustrating when the thing you’re trying to block is hosted by said CDN, so you can’t actually block it without also blocking the thing you need access to.
Whoopsie doodles who would have thought this stuff was hard!
Get involved with Mutual Aid groups.
Learn some basic First Aid.
Make connections with doctors and nurses who want to escape this broken system and get them involved with Mutual Aid groups.
This last part shouldn’t be too hard, depending on where you live. I live in a progressive city with lots of doctors with good values who already do tons of charity work as it is. Getting them involved wouldn’t be too difficult because they’re likely already involved at some level. I’ve had doctors and dentists who volunteer at our free clinics for those without medical coverage, so it seems like taking the next step into Mutual Aid is probably something they’re game for.
I guess these guys haven’t read about Salt Typhoon, huh?
US backdoors are wide open at this point.
I need my Samoas.
Metal nerds used to just cut themselves when they wanted to needlessly suffer, now they program in java.
Seriously though this is well-written and executed (yuk yuk), quite funny.
They’d blame us for being sad about our lives being treated as chattel and blame us for being angry that life or death decisions are being made on a whim to fatten someones pocketboot to the end of time.
History has shown over and over and over again, they will do everything to alienate themselves from the violence they are committing against the populace, and act like that violence is somehow a side effect consequence of what they do, and not a deliberate act of denying needed care. The opulent ownership class have done it countless times throughout history, they will deny it and be confused by our moral indignation with what they do until they very end, sadly.

Sleep State S5: alcohol induces intermittent sleep where the monitor keeps coming on and the turning off for indeterminate amounts of time during the night.

Well, yeah, it’s not our security they’re worried about.
They’re worried about their security. The security of their big mansions, millions or billions of dollars in the bank, the security of being able to be a horrible fucking weasel whose decisions end people’s lives but sleep like a baby at night knowing no one can touch you.
But they’re also small-minded enough to not realize how this compromises everyone’s security, because they were busy only worrying about securing themselves.
Like look at the UHC CEO who just got shot in broad daylight. The company wasn’t even willing to spring for good security for a guy who metaphorically put a noose around countless people’s necks.
They only care about their own security but they’re too myopic to see past themselves enough to understand the cascading consequences of not caring about anyone else’s security, and how that might, in the end, undermine their own security.
We’re not dealing with the cleverest people, here.
fuckin lmao
We told ya you stupid fucks!
Look I’ve been angry as fuck and leftist since I was a teenager. I’ve had 40 fucking years of proof on my plate that Americans are cowed, uneducated, and don’t give a fuck.
No, police don’t need an extra pretext, but I’m saying that these people didn’t just do it, they were influenced by an outside party who wanted it to get chaotic. If they’re letting their emotional state get the better of them, that’s not organized and disciplined.
We should be organized and disciplined, not burning random shit down.
We both agree on that point. I’m arguing that most Americans are too toothelessly undereducated for that to work, because “organization” and “discipline” both require education which most Americans lack, and due to that they’re more likely to be influenced and directed by someone who wants it to get chaotic and bad. (Gee, I wonder if that’s how Trump became President twice?)
If the populace is too stupid to save itself, we’re done for. Because communism from the top-down doesn’t work, it will only ever work when organized from the bottom-up, and that requires so much more education of the general populace. There are no Lenins who will save us, we have to work together to save ourselves.
I’ve put in my time and effort politically with these undereducated cretins. I am tired, exhausted, really. I have more than enough evidence to trust that Americans will never stand up to tyranny and everyone who thinks they will is huffing massive amounts of copium.
US Americans burned down a police station last time Trump was president
So you’re saying that agent provacateur who started smashing the AutoZone windows, giving the cops opportunity to fuck with protestors more and clear out the street in front of said police station, was successful in his plan to make the situation worse?
Because that was the admitted reason the umbrella guy in all black was there to begin with, and after they started the fire in the AutoZone, the police got way more violent and used the firefighters as a barricade. The “fire” and “looting” were absolutely used as pretexts for more violence against the citizens, which would lead the citizens to burn down the precinct. Literally a white supremacist kickstarted this shit with the aim of kicking off a “race war.”
So, all that really proves is Americans are easily tricked by people who want the situation to get worse.
I mean, we’ve had the TSA for how many years now and the 4th amendment against unreasonable search and seizure has been dead in the water for two decades. We’re cordoned off into “Free Speech Zones” miles from the actual event we’re protesting, but sure, Americans will get angry about all of it… eventually!
Meanwhile the non-privacy respecting Bluesky which owes tons of money to *checks notes… Blockchain Capital has millions flock to it while saying “Mastodon is janky and too hard! I don’t want to have to learn things, I want a slick corporate product!” Americans love getting a corporate boot up their ass.
As someone in poverty who has cancer in his forties, you don’t have to lecture me on how uncomfortable things can get in the USA.
I just have never seen anyone in the USA actually care enough and angry young men will let go of the porn if they’re allowed to own and control women.
Breaking point?
You have a lot more faith in Americans than I do.
They’ll never fight back, they’re cowed by creature comforts and things will have to be absolutely bleak for everyone before they wake up.
It will take millions starving. Like it always has in human history.
Uhhh Donald Trump managed it.
Boris Johnson for that matter.
Javier Milei? Jair Bolsonaro?
I could go on, seems like it happens for lots of folks who are totally shameless.
Oops actually now you have to upgrade to a new speaker, because since the old ones are no longer supported by The App™ Elite Edition, we have done you a “favor” and remotely bricked the device so now what was once repurposable electronics must basically be “recycled” (read: burned to release tasty toxins) because we hate you and the environment and ourselves.
Don’t even get me started on something as simple as a bluetooth speaker.
Quick press to turn on and off. Short hold to get into bluetooth pairing mode. Long hold to get into stereo pairing mode.
What’s the fucking problem with having more buttons??
Lmao, that’s reading a lot into what I said. Who said anything about explaining anything to them? They don’t see the same earth or problems on the earth that we do, and almost nothing is going to change that. Bezos going to space didn’t give him that bullshit “Overview Effect” and make him a better person. Musk doing hallucinogens didn’t suddenly make him a better person.
But treating them like they’re infallible and just so damn smart when the evidence shows otherwise isn’t helping.
