  • Even as fascism and capitalism are aggressively using technology to destroy our democracies and wealth equality, “liberals” continue to use our tax dollars to enrich both and build big brother FOR fascism/capitalism.

    Just like the Democrats have shifted far right for 50+ years to appease fascists in the USA — just like liberals did through the rise of nazi Germany — liberals everywhere will reject the left, embrace fascism, and abandon democracy sooner than they’ll abandon the implementation of the omnipresent mass surveillance state.

    “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds” — black panthers



  • We got capitalism. This is always how it was gonna turn out when you reward the most sociopathic and morally bankrupt criminals with wealth and power; as long as they act behind the liability shield of a corporation, and do it for-profit.

    If you steal 100k you go to prison for years. If you steal 100k from your employees via wage theft you’ll probably only have to pay back a fraction of it and won’t face any criminal charges. There are hundreds of examples the world over of corporations engaging in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable and the criminals responsible facing little more than a public shaming for a news cycle; walking away scott-free with a kings ransom.

    Tobacco companies wilfully engaged in a criminal conspiracy to lie and endanger public healthfor decades — killing millions of people. Everyone involved should have spent the rest of their lives in prison, and been stripped of all their wealth. Same thing happened with lead and asbestos.

    The way we’ve allowed, normalised, and accepted corporate criminals prospering for their psychopathy and narcissism, we deserve dystopia.


  • It’s actually a work of art how meticulously they achieve the low budget 80’s B-horror aesthetic; acting, direction, cinematography, editing… everything. The random jump cuts (cemetery shotgun, lol), amateur framing, disjointed voiceovers, walking to nowhere at the end of a scene, or entering a scene for far too long, a Tombstone blowing in the wind.

    It’s extremely difficult to intentionally make it all so shit while being so fucking funny. Perfection. Oh, and no fucking canned laughter!





  • Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

    Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

    If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.


  • The only correct response is “WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES”, then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they’ve had full control.

    The goal should be to implode America’s domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.

    But… all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they’ll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.

    I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he’s been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain’t in it.

    Eh. I don’t use bsky, and think most current ICE staff should be imprisoned for terrorism for the rest of their lives, but I don’t want any communications services to decide which entities should and shouldn’t be verified. That’s how you end up with power-tripping mods, propaganda bubbles, and censorship (exactly what fascists are doing with X, fb, tiktok, etc).

    The goal should be an open protocol where users/orgs can sign messages cryptographically (like PGP) and every other user can decide which users, feeds, or algos they subscribe to without censorship. Like, if I subscribe to my friends and family (trusted sources), or friends of friends, I don’t want any form of moderation between them and me, but the freedom to sub to moderated topics is also necessary for public (untrusted sources) feeds/comms.


  • I do not support the government killing civilians under any circumstances, but I sure do support civilians killing their criminally corrupt governments.

    Fascism is what you get when the people in power can commit crimes without fearing for their freedom or lives.

    As the average is dumb, let me be clear… No moral or ethical person should support violence or murder in a society of LEGITIMATE laws and justice systems that are applied EQUALLY (nobody is above the law; regardless of wealth, status, position, optics or power). If your goal is retribution, vengeance, pain or suffering then it is not a just or moral stance. The entire point in a rule of law is threat reduction and risk mitigation, to enable a prosperous & just society FOR EVERYONE. It is everyone’s duty to oppose unjust laws, and the systems that enable and protect them; especially predators of the weak and vulnerable (e.g. pedophiles).









  • This isn’t the American people. It’s the will of thousands of the world’s most powerful multinational oligarchs — billionaires and old money millionaire elites (plus all their class-traitor lapdogs and puppets) — who are actively corrupting ALL politics and public discourse; waging class warfare, globally.

    Murdoch is one of the most well-known examples, but I’m sure there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fossil fuel and military contractor investors or board members — you’ve never heard of — who are criminally corrupt psychopaths that deserve to be in the dirt.

    These people’s only allegiance is to the almighty dollar. They have no real virtue, morals, or ethics.
