These dumbasess are nearing the wish and dream of every autocratic government in human history: to fully automate the military.

Its not done yet dumbasses, why are you revealing these cards in such a public way? They are so impatient and arrogant, which will one day be their undoing.

The inevitably of end stage capitalism marches closer

Thiel moving to Argentina too soon, too? Maybe place your administration one more time, before leaving the mess you made?

The simple fact of using the word "citizens" instead of people sounds awfully dystopian to me.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 15 points 11 hours ago

Literally 1984

Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

This right here, broadcast it 247 streaming. See rhe secret meetings, see the doublecross, see the payoffs, finally meet the GOP gay lovers

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 12 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

would we care, though?

we literally have hundreds of millions of documents between the epstein files and the freedom of information act files themselves detailing the behavior of the ruling class manipulating and manufacturing propaganda and we collectively ignore them nonetheless.

[–] irotsoma@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

Nah, just freely share all of it with all of the other rich people. Let them get angry and jealous and destroy each other when they realize how much they're purposely screwing each other over.

[–] iThinkDifferentThanU@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Do we really care about any reality stars? Fire them out a cannon into a mountain all I care, wait that I'd watch closest to hit the bullseye with their billionaires body still screaming wins

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

reality stars aren't members of the ruling class

i think i've finally found someone with a stranger sense of humor than my own. lol

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

If you want to be number 1, you gotta be odd.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 15 hours ago

A reality TV show I’d actually watch.

You may not like it, but this is what peak freedom looks like in a liberal capitalist society.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Gonna start calling it late-stage liberalism.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

Can't we call it the class war?

If we had a way of documenting their crimes, ICE would not kill people, right?

[–] patient_tech@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

When you have nothing to lose, you finally become free for the first time in your life.

Crap, didnt see your comment before I made mine

[–] dropdrip@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago

If your murder a CEO the state will provide you with free housing & food. Something to think about...

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

the upper echelons of the middle class are the reason why this fuckery keeps going on.

~~Citizens~~ proles will be on their best behavior.

[–] LetThereBeNick@lemmy.zip 10 points 14 hours ago

If you are always on your best behavior, doesn't that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

[–] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

Quiet part out loud used to be career ending.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 9 points 16 hours ago

Someone already had that idea 200 years ago, Larry. It doesn't work.

Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.

"You already have zero privacy - get over it." - Scott McNealy

SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is... Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100's of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.
