Of course, that's exactly the point of a surveillance state. It's purpose is total control of the general population and complete freedom from consequences for the wealthy elite. Any rhetoric about it keeping us safe is pure propaganda. People knew this a long time ago, that's why we have the 4th amendment and other privacy laws.

I think MTG is loyal to "her people". She's fine when "other people" are hurt, but Epstein and his co-conspirators hurt white, Christian, American girls. We're seeing more and more people breaking off from MAGA based on their personal principles, like the NRA and other 2nd amendment rights group speaking out against the Pretti shooting.

Donald has no principles whatsoever, he just wants to "win" and demands absolute loyalty no matter what. It looks like some of his supporters are starting to see the con job, or maybe they already did, but they're starting to realize that allying with a man who will betray you as soon as you're no longer useful is a bad strategy.

I appreciate your efforts, one thing I'm sure of is that, "I alone can fix it" is the antithesis of what we need right now. It's going to take a lot of open, compassionate people to make things better.

What's our way forward? I don't know and I'm struggling to figure it out, but the more I get into it, the more I come back to ideas like curiosity, authenticity, and connecting with people outside our comfortable social groups.

I really feel like the world we're living in now is the result of engineered propaganda and the only cure is related to authentic connections among everyday people.

Systems aren't gonna save us!

I don't know how the law works on this, but it's so fucked up that they carefully redacted these guys while exposing several of the victim's names. It's pretty clear who the FBI and DOJ work for and it isn't the American people.

I choose to believe this is historical fact.

So Musk had nothing intelligent, insightful or even interesting to say in response. Sounds about right.

That's how most libertarians I've talked to think. There are some people who call themselves libertarians who actually just want the government out of the way so mega corps can control everything, but i don't think Jimmy Wales is one of them.

In what way does Wikipedia defy Jimmy Wales own rules?

TempleOS is really impressive for an OS made by one guy! Terrence Davis had some mental health issues, but he's legendary as a programmer.

We now have a President who just posted a video of his personal fantasy which is himself wearing a crown and literally shitting all over the American people exercising their first amendment rights!
