@ronmortgageguy In addition to Brzeziński ('Between Two Ages'), Russell's 'Impact of Science on Society' and Huxley's follow-up 'Brave New World Revisited' give insight to what the 'scientific elite' were predicting decades ago. A sort of soft-socialist scientific dictatorship. Does that fit?
@ronmortgageguy Again, it's either all Western leaders keep making mistakes that kill prosperity for the middle classes, or, this is all going as planned. Just see how many outcomes fit their goals set out 50 years ago (societal, economical, etc.)

@Raymond82310289@kdphotography I agree. Although it's both sides that want to shut it down and both sides control MSM. They've all been waiting to finally do away with these 'elections' and just copy China already - makes the corruption normalized. A big enough event will have the people begging for it too.
@iluminatibot Boots-on-the-neck are only for the 5% in these online thought-silos. The 95% won't even see those boots. As Huxley told us, they will be blissfully unaware, without need for boots.
I don't even care where I am in this divide. How did 'Brave New World' end anyway?
@iluminatibot Or at least helps funnel all dissent into buckets that can be chopped off. Not that your X feed is doing that. That would be ludicrous. Controlling both the narrative and counter-narrative, what a novel concept.
@VGircys@rrockdurham As in the USA, the West is still in the fog of 'democracy' as if we can vote another party in to fix our problems.
"At least we are not China".

@VGircys@rrockdurham I am enjoying watching him becoming our 'First Technocrat Leader'. He seems to be feeding off the power of transition to what the elites have wanted for decades. Hungry to be the main sell-out for our century.
The American equivalent will be an even better show...
@_InThisTogether@unguenta I assume they don't even need to bother to 'Manufacture Consent' with any effort anymore. 100 years after Bernays described 'Public Relations' ('Propaganda'), we now have had 20 years of perfected social media and almost 100% uptake of digital leashes.
@RealJermWarfare Almost all Westerners cannot see or feel the propaganda being used on them, because it's usually 'us' doing it to bad guys. All Western nations have their own coordinated 'nudge' unit of some sort, with consistent psychological deployment.

Great analysis on the China technocracy model from N.S. Lyons. Majority of young Westerners like these new systems, as the older generations allow it via 'at least we are not China' delusions.

Detailed analysis on 'we're not China'

@USMortality@stkirsch Iain Davis writing at Geopolitics and Empire provides a great analysis on CBDC network. It's been in the making for almost 2 decades, with buy-in from all countries (China and Russia too) as the final end-run around Western 'sovereignty' barriers.

@USMortality@stkirsch They will leave you alone. If you're in that 'fringe minority' and over 40 or so, you're not part of their new society. It will just move on regardless and 'fringe' will be shut out via CBDC. Illogical mandates are aimed at young, like this college.

@BullishBrit@iluminatibot No. Cell phone exposure ranges depending on distance to tower and how close to your body it is. Unless you are only a few feet from your smart meter your cell phone will almost always have more radiation into your body. Just saying as someone who designs both of these.
@iluminatibot 'Are you okay with government removing your rights to mobility, and returning them as a privilege so long as you comply with whatever mandate they enforce?'
'Well you have to wear a T shirt to get in to a restaurant.'
'People are dying so yes.'
@breakfreekaren@JasonT28358737@jeffreytucker Divide+control people into silos + encourage/fund both sides. A very old technique made all the more easier with SM - 'in real life' doesn't exist anymore, only the online world matters. This is what our kids get.

Carroll Quigley Tragedy and Hope -1966:
@iluminatibot A few Western hold-outs will take some more time, chaos + fear before they beg for the Chinese-style one party technocracy, but we'll get there soon enough. Any society can be rebuilt in a generation. The 'Smart City' in China is/was called a 'Special Zone' while being developed.
