Trump promised to drain the swamp.
Instead he’s feeding it classified datasets.
The executive order he just signed is the blueprint for total information control streamlining every federal agency into a single mass-surveillance organism, powered by Palantir and built on your records, your searches, your purchases, your life.
You are the product. Your data is the infrastructure. And now the state has streamlined its access to all of it across agencies, across use cases, across administrations.
Every justification for this has been used before. Terrorism. Immigration. Public health. But the target is always the same: the public. You.
This is the machinery of empire upgrading itself. If you’re still treating politics like a spectator sport, you’re already part of the operating system.
Your privacy is gone the moment you wait for permission to defend it.
@EdKrassen You mean there are 4 million people that think Trump is a king? That is depressing.
Of course a scary percentage of Americans cannot identify America on a map so I guess it’s par for the course.
@Official_Oden @RBReich “Peaceful”? They are destroying property and throwing chunks of concrete at people and cars. Concrete on your head means you maybe dead. That is a life threatening action. Of course nothing would be happening if they were actually peaceful. We all have our tailored views.
@Official_Oden @RBReich I’m unaware of any actions that trumps has taken that verify his “dictatorship.”
Every president tries to frame their rights as their responsibilities. If he can do it then it’s his right. If they stop him because he cannot then what? He’s not a dictator?
@Official_Oden @RBReich My point? He was being called a king. He was elected. This may bother you. I understand. Are you claiming Russian elections and US elections are of the same quality?
