The revolution will not be monetized
Tell that to my "The revolution will not be monetized" t-shirts and mugs
Would you like the revolution to be monetized though?
They took notes during the Arab Spring.
And occupy. The Palantir, Occupy, Anonymous triangle is deep and key to understanding the current moment as it pertains to the US. Surveillance capital is the nastiest arm of capital.
Are you alleging occupy and anonymous are psy ops?
No and I don't see how that follows from my comment in any way. I am not this stupid. I'm saying however that Anonymous and Occupy were critical movements with true grass roots beginnings which were partially turned on their heads through government and private industry intervention. These movements fizzled out for other reasons, such as capture by less radical but still sympathetic forces and ultimately a lack of popular support.
Got any good reading?
Dismantling of big tech is Justified
Makes sense. Nobody would want to broadcast their own downfall.
If they broadcast them at all, they’ll broadcast them as wanton vandalism & terrorism. That’s how they broadcast the Occupy Wall Street protests and the G20 Summit protests before them. They’ll blame foreign influence, and blame communists, anarchists, Anonymous, immigrants, black bloc, antifa super soldiers, and any party to the left of the Democrats.
Thankfully, this is the fediverse. Damn the man!
Heck the state
Why would anyone expect otherwise. These people are the enemy
