Ewww

The multigenerational operation directly involves the defunding of, and attacks on, education. This isn’t a this or that situation. ALL conservative and neoliberal policy since the 1970’s is about destroying ALL socialist/liberal/democratic advances made to date, and returning the working class to ignorant destitution; much easier to control and brainwash mentally-ill morons (see MAGA).

Rest in piss indeed

When profits are involved, always assume malice.

The only time you should assume stupidity is when dealing with family, friends, colleagues, frontline workers, etc; basically anyone you interact with who wouldn’t profit off the malice (eg the sales person or marketing team will lie to make a sale).

This is not “pettiness”. This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by “liberals” who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.

No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.

Oppose genocide? Believe it or not, straight to jail!

They’re psychopaths. Not completely demented fucking morons.

Sky News AU (not affiliated with the UK) is the closest equivalent to Fox News this decade, since Murdochs fascist state media machine was working so well in the US.

Which is rather ridiculous, because the IDF didn’t need any assistance to make them look bad.

Capitalism guarantees externalities are shouldered by society, as that’s most profitable.

You don’t succeed in business by cleaning up the mess you make.

Yeah but most people are idiots, so…

Username checks out!

I’ll give you a hand… The implication is that you need to be brain damaged to want a toilet cam.

Imagine how much value would have been created if the several hundreds of billion spent on the shitty VR sims went to wages, or taxes, or healthcare.

But no. We should all marvel at the efficiency of the oligarchy!

Have you tried brain damaging yourself? If that fails, repeat until you something or whatever.

Surveillance capitalism just wants to completely destroy all anonymity for data harvesting, propaganda, and control purposes.

…

Considering Epstein didn’t kill himself, and literally none of his hundreds/thousands of oligarch-customers have faced any consequences, this pedelephant in the room could very well be what chat control, photo scanning, etc is actually all about.

Parent takes photo of their baby/child in the rudey nudey > custom pedo-developed algorithm flags it as potential child porn > sends image/vid to gov server for “verification” > data gets “hacked” by pedos.

Same system could easily be adapted to stealing everyones private sex pics/vids, as the entire idea is that it’s performed by closed source applications in the background, without the user ever being aware.

And with the way CSAM works, governments could easily insert hashes of ANY files — say a whistleblower steals the un-redacted Epstein files — so OS’s/services would identify everyone who had downloaded that file(s), sending the alarm straight to the secret police’s surveillance system; maybe they could be silenced before they’ve had a chance to tell anyone.

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

Yep. Benefits hostile actors far more than any user.
