🧵Come definireste un sistema politico in cui un governo sfacciatamente autoritario prova a criminalizzare, non solo a parole ma anche per legge, l’idea stessa di antifascismo, mentre smonta uno dopo l’altro i contrappesi al proprio potere?

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: You cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no organization called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path. There is no membership. Also there is no law in American to charge terrorism. Ask Luigi.

What he is doing is setting the stage to designate ANY American as a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

"Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is. They are addicts, and they are guilty and they do lie and cheat and steal — like all junkies. And when they get in a frenzy, they will sacrifice anything and anybody to feed their cruel and stupid habit, and there is no cure for it."

Forget surveillance capitalism - let's talk about *surveillance infantalism*: the drive by the wealthy to spy on you in order to pursue the toddler's goals of getting everything they want from the people around them, without any reciprocal obligations.

Four years ago, the Taliban didn’t just take power, they declared war on every girl who dares to read, speak, or dream. Four years ago, the women and girls of Afghanistan were cast into a vast prison, ruled by a gang draped in black turbans and driven by medieval rage.

“Researchers highlight three emerging themes of AI psychosis, which, again, is not a clinical diagnosis:

“Messianic missions”… (grandiose delusions).
“God-like AI"… (religious or spiritual delusions).
“Romantic” or “attachment-based delusions”…” https://t.co/Wxhz2fNJUx
