Liberal democracy is a euphemism for government by the highest bidder. Enclosure of the commons is capitalism's lynchpin and the basis of modern slavery. Metric
Shocking Admission By FBI Veteran Shows Why The FBI Shouldn’t Exist
"And ironically, years ago, when I first got into the FBI, one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government."

@iAnonPatriot "In 1905, a strike among the French workforce had French officials look to Algerians to fill this role. The travel limitations were relaxed to allow Algerians to travel and immigrate to France to fill the voids in the labor force"
Who do you want to do migrants' jobs? You won't.
It's a war on the human conscience. Sentencing anti-genocide activists as terrorists. Working to deport Trita Parsi for criticizing the war on Iran. They're actually punishing people for not acting like sociopaths.
It's the same war on the conscience that saw the empire persecute Julian Assange, crush pro-Palestine demonstrations on university campuses, investigate peace activists for bringing aid to Cuba, and dramatically ramp up the suppression of free speech to silence criticism of Israel.
In a healthy society, a person of conscience would thrive while a sociopath would be shunned and marginalized. In western society it's the exact opposite: people of conscience are sent to prison, and sociopaths are made president of the United States.
That's what you get when you live under an empire established on and driven by sociopathic values. The agenda to dominate and control the entire human population is evil, because it can only be accomplished through nonstop war, militarism, propaganda, deception, and tyranny.
That's why the truth-tellers are branded traitors, the anti-genocide demonstrators are branded anti-semites, and the peace activists are branded terrorists. We live in a backward dystopia with backward values, so the good are beaten down while the wicked rule the world.
@karaokecomputer The tactical advantage of AI is only significant if the opponent doesn't have AI.
War pigs aren't very smart as every comment defending the US war machine demonstrates.
The tactical advantage of AI goes to smarter operators who understand what it is and its limitations.
CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei awkwardly smiles through his answer to a question about why Claude AI directly contributed to the US Military bombing of the elementary school in Minab.
@LNPvoterfail He's a coder from finance working on vanity projects for capitalist narrative purposes. Funny thing is, hard noses won't put risky amounts of money into his ventures because they are obviously hugely overvalued and are therefore obviously speculative hype.
@Jjjablonsker@AlanRMacLeod "I pretty much hate anything that takes away personal freedoms and liberties from others."
Zionists have been taking both since partition. That's why Hamas exists, as well as being preferred opposition for zionists who did everything to enable over PLO to dehumanise Palestinians
@Jjjablonsker@AlanRMacLeod And your choice is the most indiscriminate weapon.
I guess you think everyone's a terrorist. That'd make you a terrorist too.
@Brandy966260182@BarbaraPocock That's got to do with who the money gets printed for.
It's better value for society if people buy rather than rent, given the only intention of the investor is to make housing more expensive.
Money shouldn't be being printed for investors.
The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.
Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.
Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.
Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.
Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.
Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.
Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.
Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.
You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.
And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.
All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.
All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.
I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.
They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.
After years standing with this man as he fought for justice, he finally won. The Privacy Commissioner found AMEX breached privacy laws and ordered compensation. And then the Commissioner threatened him with legal action if he tells the full truth about what was done to him.
