Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.

Cybersecurity is a broken industry. We rely on products that were designed to be sold, not used. And the incentives are completely screwed up.

I made this video about all of the ways things are bad, how we accidentally make it worse, and why new technology won't fix it.

This is another strategy called "compartmentalization."

In geopolitics, "compartmentalization" is the tactical fragmentation of a singular imperial mission into isolated, "local" operations to mask the true center of gravity.

The British mastered this dark art by carving out distinct compartments in their colonies: they would install a local puppet monarch, train a local constabulary to do the policing, and have a British-owned corporation manage the resource extraction. If the local population rebelled, the British wouldn't fight them directly; they would order their "local" puppet to suppress the uprising, providing the weaponry and the intelligence behind the scenes.
This way, the hatred of the people was directed at the local leader, not the British Empire, which remained safely in the background, ostensibly just "advising" the government.

Now, by reporting that the UAE has been "secretly" carrying out attacks on Iran, the Wall Street Journal and the rest of the American media machines are trying to compartmentalize this war by reducing it to a regional skirmish where the U.S. is merely "helping" Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to defeat a "common enemy".
Where in reality, this is a purely American war on the Multipolar world to crush the rise of Eurasia and forcefully reassert its status as the sole global hegemon.

For the UAE to "secretly" strike Iran, they would need to engage in a logistical impossibility without Washington's total oversight.
They would need to "secretly" use their U.S.-supplied F-35 fighter jets, they would need to "secretly" utilize top-secret U.S. satellite constellations for real-time kinetic targeting, they would need to "secretly" use clandestine American signals intelligence to bypass Iranian air defense frequency-hopping, and then "secretly" upload their mission parameters into Pentagon-managed AI decision-support systems that dictate every micro-second of the strike.

When you understand this, it becomes clear that all roads lead to Washington.
Any attack on Iran, whether it is a U.S. fighter jet or a "covert" strike by the UAE or Israel, is merely a different gear in this compartmentalized war machine. The UAE and Israel are not acting as independent sovereigns; they are functioning compartments of U.S. Central Command, just as the regional rulers under the British were a functioning compartment of the British Colonial Office.

The "compartmentalization" ensures that the diplomatic and legal blowback is absorbed by the UAE or filtered through the noise of the Israel-Iran narrative, while the "great power" keeps its hands clean.
This is the ultimate imperial playbook: maintain absolute hegemony through a decentralized network of enforcers and mass-media distractions, ensuring that no country dares to exist outside the architecture of American dominance.

The "sovereignity" of these Gulf states is a convenient, pathetic fiction.
In reality, they are just the frontline contractors in a unified, brutal campaign, their actions carefully compartmentalized to hide the hand that truly holds the leash.

China's policy towards religious organisations is not a matter of persecution but as a matter of national sovereignty and protection against foreign interference.

In China, churches must adhere to strict Socialist Core Values of the state. This means that God must speak Chinese; it must be a God that approves of socialism and the collective advancement of the people.
Hard work is not a "hustle" for personal gain,it is a sacred social duty to the motherland.
Religion is required to teach kindness toward fellow citizens, regardless of their faith, stripping away the sectarian divisions that imperialists use to "divide and conquer."

The individual must be loyal to the nation above all else. Instead of focusing solely on the narcissism of "personal salvation" or the greed of "individual prosperity," the believer is required to see wealth as a national collective and a resource to be used for the upliftment of the entire society, not the enrichment of a few.

This is in direct contrast to the Nigerian model, where churches are nothing more than neo-colonial projects designed to keep the African mind in a state of perpetual subjection.
These churches project Jesus as a "White European" and the devil as a "Black figure," a psychological assault that forces the believer to worship their oppressor and fear themselves.

These churches weaponize "grace" to convince believers that regardless of how hard you work, your labor is meaningless without the "favor" of a distant, foreign deity.
This effectively creates millions of working class population who would rather pray for miracles instead of organising a rebellion to reclaim their resources and force the state to work for them.

Furthermore, these institutions have turned the spiritual landscape into a fragmented marketplace of artificial division. Every "General Overseer" acts like a corporate CEO, peddling their own "brand" of God as the only one that works.
This effectively creates a state of theological balkanization, so while the masses argue over which church has the "true" interpretation of a foreign book.
This internal rivalry is a gift to the imperialists; it ensures that the people are too busy competing for "heavenly ranking" to form a unified front against material exploitation.

In Africa, these churches teach a predatory, hyper-capitalist worldview where "Prosperity" is a private gift from God rather than a right earned through sovereign development.
The believers are subconsciously programmed to see poverty as a spiritual "curse" rather than the cold, hard reality of state failure and decades of Western-engineered debt, IMF-imposed austerity, and the systematic exploitation of African resources.
