The government in general is crumbling and it's corrupt "leaders" will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it's legitimacy.

They'll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

Like how bills that goes away our rights tend to have names that sound like they expand them

Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested

Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking

I just read that the Indian government told it's citizens to leave Pakistan if they're there. Isn't India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?

Blackrock owns the most shares too 🤡

Any vaguely political post gets hit by corpo-propaganda bots even on Lemmy. That's why they sound like they have no idea what's going on.

Youve explained a house flipping syndicate lmao. Dirty anarcho-capitalist leftist /s

Particularly as the systems get more and more sophisticated at hypnotizing

Economic black outs. They can't ignore money.

This sounds dreamy

Advertising has grown into a monster. It's pervasive. You seem to be defending the concept a lot, do you work in advertising? maybe you have better ideas as to how it should change to better address the problem the article charges advertising with.

It'll be right before the false flag attack used to justify repression of dissent

Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don't care that their constituents don't.

It's a logical conclusion from quack, imo. It's the second thing that came to my mind after the obvious 'oh duh cause he's Russias agent'

Totally. The idea being that you'll just take whatever bullshit in the meantime because you get to vote for the controlled opposition party every 4 years.

Party of the rich vs party of the wealthy

I scoured every pixel on every panel of that comic for several minutes OP.

Wild. I've read starship troopers but didn't know all this about him.

The general online labeling of Heinlein as a kind of fascism idealizer (due to the popularity of that book) begins to fall apart when you view him as an author who experimented with different forms of governance in his world building.

I was going to link you to a wikipedia article titled CIA controversies but took the time to name a few of the more flagrant episodes by them and the FBI which would be more interesting to learn about.

Operation north wood, midnight climax, mk ultra, project mockingbird, cointelpro, operation chaos, the church committee reports.

Reading about just a few of these should start to reveal that skepticism regarding the intent and methodology of the US gov is a valid response and not necessarily in line with 'conspiracy theory bullshit.'

I see what you mean. I would explain my logic as such:

1. These agencies have a consistent history of misleading populaces at home and abroad, through tactics such as the one mentioned above.
2. Part of their work is to hide/destroy evidence of falsehood.
3. At one of the most turbulent times in decades, the chances of their clandestine participation in the way we view the world is all but assured.

So it's more of a recognition of a pattern than outright speculation. The alternative view that the US gov is not engaged in these activities domestically seems more far-fetched to me. Not impossible, just out of character.
