Then it's not a spike, it's a trend. Created by, mostly (hopefully) bots, there to move the overton window and normalise racism and hyper-regressive world views to divide the working class while the rich use us as Cannon fodder for their genocide against our fellow working class. Wankers.
What a fucking loser? I mean all of these people, but especially him. It's just insultingly petty identity politics while they try to dismantle the social fabric of the world around them through social media propaganda. Imagine, having so few friends, such a desperate need to have people like you and being so lacking in personality. That you have to have a gay, Billionaire, warmongering South African Apartheidist buy them for you. Guyliner and all! Vance would be funny to take the piss out of, if he weren't so pathetic.
Yeah except the Visa program they use is tied to their employment. Big Ag has been holding people basically as indentured slaves, forcing them to live on the farm. Any disagreement, or refusal to perform as the owner wants and their status is void and they get sent back. The government has known for YEARS about this happening. Always turned a blind eye, and now they have removed any avenue to permanent legal status in the US from that very visa program. So, want to live, or flee from oppression to the US? Well, now they'll oppress you.
Open Street Maps, or any fork from it. You can also purchase a modern road atlas for basically nothing. Alternatively, people do make navigation units for cars, that you can purchase. Life is completely possible, with relatively little inconvenience if you want to separate yourself from Big Tech. I write down the directions and just follow street signs. You don't want to rely on things like GPS, because it destroys your ability to commit identifying markers to memory. You can glance at the screen and glance at the road in front of you. But that stops you from being able to commit the experience from memory. Smart Tech and the offloading of our mental faculties to technology has made all of us
Way too overconfident in our ability to comprehend, review and parse information.
Decimated our attention spans and will most likely see a whole new type of cognitive decline.
Sorry for the tangent. But yeah, there's options there. With or without the tech.
Horse. You well off, Dad's got a bit of land? Then you can have a horse.
Nine of yous, living in a caravan with your Mum? Then you can have a horse.
Grow up in a semi-detached? No horse for you!
Counterpoint. Musk was the sacrificial lamb, just like Thiel did to him at Paypal. Tesla was the most popular electric car company in the world. Their whole business model was based on reaching net zero. What if this was all done on purpose to stop adoption of electric vehicles. Fossil fuel industry is a huge player in this. Copenhagen Atomics is set to deploy their first thorium salt nuclear reactor in 2027. That plus electric cars means no need for fossil fuels. As it stands, in two generations, our planet will be basically uninhabitable due to climate change. The whole techno dystopian future big tech want with their freedom cities would be way easier to pull off, if the environment outside is totally inhospitable. Wouldn’t that make sure forced adoption of brain implants like neuralink, or Meta, or Valve’s brain chips a much easier sell? If it was that, or imminent death from exposure and air pollution. Peter Thiel is a transhumanist who believes we can ascend humanity through merging with machines.
Curtis Yarvin said that he would virtualise non-useful people as a humane alternative to genocide. Doesn’t that make generative AI make way more sense? You don’t want to adopt the surveillance state in your head, fine, live out the rest of your life as you slowly die of dehydration and hunger. If Trump is impeached we get Vance, whose entire career was created by Thiel. It all makes too much sense. Meta are now a defense contractor, Britain has said it will rebuild its military using “outside contractors.” Palantir already have Israel and America. Big Tech want control of the world’s armies, fighting proxy wars on their behalf. Once your military requires their systems, they can turn them off if any opposes them. This is all starting to turn the gears in my head.

Consider this, JD Vance is Peter Thiel's Acolyte, who desperately wants to bring about a global technocracy. What if all of this hasn't been a genuine attempt yet. What if it's merely theatre that has been setting the stage for Vance to take over. Trump gets to enrich his family beyond their wildest imagination, then he peaces out and the real horror begins.
This Bill is just a lie to spy on (mainly) Canadian Citizens and residents. It gives Canada Post the ability to open your mail for any cited reason. It requires your ISP to log and keep track of all your devices and online activity and require it be turned over at the governments request. It's also gearing up to turn Canadian Border Officials into ICE. We're cooked.
The Guardian fired their journalists and replaced them with AI. I'd like to raise this point and see if we could be more selective with News? I think That the co-opting of our news media is just about controlling the Overton window and I would hope we could find and support independent media like Al Jazeera. Who have 15.8m subscribers on youtube and whose videos went from getting 10s of millions of views to majority under 10k in the space of a year.
Forced Sterilization is a dangerous precedent to set. First it's sex offenders, then it'll be disabled people, "drug addicts" but really it'll be the poor. The working class, disenfranchised by the wealthy. Crime is caused by poverty. We cannot do this as a society. Once you start deciding that one group of people are more deserving of basic biological function, you just open it up to moving the line on where that is. Rehabilitation does not come from castration. Peoples genitals don't make them sex offenders.
