It is too late.
So, we just pretend it’s a hot tub and numb our senses until we drown.

The hard truths of history, and our future, tell there is only one way to stop a person like him.
But, as long as there are any like him there will always be more like them.
Strikes and boycotts may force them to temporarily placate and dampen the anger, or they’ll just move their money somewhere else to temporarily exploit.
There is only one solution to the billionaire equation.
The definition of Cronyism.

I was bamboozled.

Consider that Peter Thiel bankrolled JD Vance and that he, musk, zuck, et al have essentially established a technocratic state within the new admin. https://www.ft.com/content/408fb864-5831-4b1d-beef-fd1966b3beed

The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk might support that PAC to the tune of around $45 million per month. Musk has denied that specific claim since, but the America PAC, which is run by Lonsdale, appears to be created to support the “PayPal Mafia” worldview — which includes (and indeed depends on) the bankruptcy of the United States.

At least PayPal had a suitably grand mission—the kind that post-bubble skeptics would later describe as grandiose: we wanted to create a new internet currency to replace the U.S. dollar.

Etc…
Google: set reminder for 2 years.
And then he became what he is.
People can be one thing and become another.
He has become something else.
One thing that has been an asterisk in my mind for some people who are of his ilk is why they all end up siding with Russia.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for exposing the shenanigans of illegal government operations, but it’d be good to also shed light on other nations doings. In the spirit of equality.
*edit; also, I wasn’t comparing in a sense of lireral equivalence on free speech.
Greenwald is one of those people some thought was about good things, like privacy and freedom, but turns out he’s like elon in his freeze peach absolutism.

Hmmm.
I wonder if they have certain expectations (read inside information) about the inevitable collapse of the USD that will coincidentally happen during the next presidency of the guy with ties to Russia and his VP who is backed by the dark-right silicon crypto bros.
Nah. That’s crazy talk.

And one final, very important thought:
By nothing it means she wants to destroy it all so nothing remains.
In the spirit of aloha, of course.
The goal is to collapse the system.
Most of the good ones will be afraid of doing anything ‘bad’. Many of the (even remotely) good ones in a position to do good are outing themselves as only willing to do good for themselves.
The good ones that will or would do something are probably already on a list compiled by the tech bros.
Obi-wan, you’re our only hope.
41·6 days agoSurprisingly, VLC has a simple screen recording feature in the GUI. Record by screen or by individual app.
VLC also has a very comprehensive cli.
vlc -Hgives almost every possible option with useful descriptions of them You can configure everything to your needs. Inputs, outputs, framerate, audio and video encoders, muxers, filters, network live stream or to file or both, in the background, etc. EverythingGUI
One page of the advanced settings options (using the -H option gives me 60 full pages of options in this portrait format)
Most of that energy goes to the very Democratic leaning liberal states.
Michigan, New York, and Minnesota.

Or at least pretend to listen and deny their 900 page book outlining the actual plan.
It’s a modernization of fascism.
It’s still fascism.
But it’s also so much worse.
Instead of papers please, it’s drones and facial recognition (palantir/thiel). It’s killbots and robotic cryptids (optimus/mech dogs). It’s ai, algorithms that know you better than you know yourself, disinfo and thought police (Facebook, amazon). It’s tracking and controlling what you can buy and where (crypto [crypto is NOT anonymous]). It’s a return to slavery and/or elimination of human labor in favor of humanoid machines.
It’s absolute control and obedience (all of the above).
