A friendly reminder to everyone. Lemmy is absolutely not representative of the broader mass media dialogue happening around us. We have to be paying attention to how all people, close with us in our day to day lives interact with it instead. My boss is a retired mechanic who thought Trump was gonna run the US "like a business." I have been speaking very openly about my views on the American News Media bias in Canada. How new and legacy media are both monopolies controlled by the same small group of men. How the Heritage Foundation funded the Trump Campaign. How every far-right group appearing after Covid had the same names and message. America First, Canada First, Britain First, Ireland First, Francais Premier and all, coincidentally, funded by right-wing, American, Christian groups. Something clicked with him today, while he was on his phone and I watched as it all suddenly made sense to him.

Then I watched as he actually became worried. People know that it's Big Tech and we have to have these conversations, because that's how you get people to put their phones down and re-evaluate the idea of trusting 5 companies with all of their personal information and doing all computing in a web browser. That's how you wake them up to the fact that LLM's and embedded AI assistants are only their to spy on you and silence dissent.

Hey Co-pilot, have any of our user's expressed dissatisfaction with the regime? Here's a curated list.

We are so close to class consciousness do not let this echo-chamber be a safe space. Get Offline, get loud, get honest. Fuck Google

God, Pam Bondi is hideous. Like, I know your husband is a geriatric monopoly man. But did we have to aspire to look like Edgar from MIB if he'd landed at The Bunny Ranch?

Homely af spam bot. At least they're going for realism.

Every Maple Magot should be called out for what they are. Filthy fucking Redcoats.

We are at the end of capitalism. It can either be global enslavement, or global unity. We must make that decision and make it loudly, for ourselves. It is our planet, our skies. We need to kick these cunts the fuck off our cloud. Pray for rain.

When do we nut up and turn FightClub into a documentary?

Yeah, but they can just lie. That's how all this happened. Generate distrust in the media, create a fake climate of fear against "evil immigrants." No politician calls them liars, because they're all complicit. Capitalist mouthbreathing drones.

Good, but it's not the burning down we need to focus on. It is having a robust alternative. With clear structure and forethought. After the social revolution we need to have a social evolution. Otherwise oligarchy will just purchase our ashes. We need the message of the truth of what is happening to as many people as possible. That is how we take the power back.

Right, but as a counterpoint. The French weren't facing certain global annihilation brought on by Megacorporations who convinced every person in the world to voluntarily spy on themselves for the last 2 decades in order to amass more power, wealth and influence than every individual country in the world. Those, whose mere existence has accelerated global warming to the point that the purposeful act of ecocide has become their main goal, after they force us into world war 3, strip mine the globe for resources in order to fuck off and terraform Mars. All to live out a South African-Apartheidist-with-a-botched-penis-implant's grandfather's wet dream of enslaving humanity into a technocratic hellscape before Larping the provably erroneous Ugenix "hypothesis" of hyper-diffusion. So, you know, maybe give The French Revolution a break?

Propaganda, used to foster the soft normalisation of Eugenics. Total bullshit.

Dream girls

Try 150 Billion, if you actually want to make a difference. Why are we fining companies with more money than the collective GDP of Europe hidden in offshore bank accounts, the equivalent of pennies? That's like giving someone a 10c speeding ticket for doing 210km/hr in a 50 zone and then letting them continue to drive at speed. Big tech are the ones behind the social engineering that brought us Trump and the rise of authoritarianism around the globe. For fucks sake EU, why are you so toothless even NOW? Politicians just capitulate and line their pockets with slivers of prophets generated by surveillance capitalism and the intentional destruction of our planet. For no fucking reason other than our enslavement. Lads, when do we just nut up and burn Google, Microsoft, Apple and all these companies servers to the ground? Why are we still allowing this? Google has paid Billions for our data, GDPR never stopped anything and even if it did, they just buy it from workday, or any "free online tool" with 10,000 "Legitimate Interest" partners that you grant access to by being opt out. Scanning and ripping binaries from your computer, every time you log online. Fuck these fucking people claiming to represent us taking cents on the euro from their American corporate masters. While the rest of us are expected to swallow this fucking bile and pretend like justice is done, while we still struggle, starve and live on top of each other. Under surveillance without our own homes, for us that understand to even be able to secure our connection to the online world. Fuck This.

Carney is a former central banker, he will not do anything to upset the flow of money. Realistically, every single career politician in the world is complicit in this. Why can we build no more, houses? Why is everything so expensive? Why is the American party of "progressiveness" running Kamala Harris whose brother is CEO at Uber? It's an illusion, they are all compromised, they are all bought, that's just the nature of Capitalism. We have bring back the death penalty, but only for corporate person-hood. If you commit global terroristic acts like Meta, Muskrat and Amazon, we should be able to kill these things. We have to stop putting the 1%'s property rights over the lives of the 99%. It's our planet, why do we need elected individuals whose sole purpose is to make decisions detrimental to everyone but themselves. We need to make Fight Club a documentary.

A tenth of a year is still 36 and 1/2 days of uninterrupted cs per anum.

"My child is better off as a corpse than I would have been, had I understood that my distrust of medical science stemmed from malicious actors." I want everybody to pay attention, this is programming. This is intentional, it is circulated by the Billionaire class, across media platforms. They control all of our news media and social media. They own all of the content we post online. Every automatic cloud backup you have to opt out of. Everything you've ever logged into a chromium searchbar. Through social engineering and hypernormalisation, they have collected all of our bank details, credit card numbers, license plate numbers. Everything you've ever sent as an attachment in an email. Their trackers permeate the entire clearnet, you cannot use a browser on the clearnet without being spied upon. Which is why privacy solutions all focus on obscuring your identity, because you will always be seen. The Head of Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin, recently discovered Google have been effectively violating GDPR, likely since its inception, by including a hidden cookie that immediately starts the process of collecting telemetry on the user. When approached about the legality of it, the spokesperson for Google said they "Could not Comment" on the legality of violating EU law.

In North America, if you head to Google Maps on your android, look at permissions, then touch the 3 dots in the corner and select "see all permissions." You will see what a dire situation we find ourselves in. Google Maps has been recording all of your location data, all the time. Regardless of if it's allowed as a permission by the User. Google Maps scans and reads your storage. As does Google Search, Gmail and anything else Alphabet and Apple include on their devices. Did we notice after Covid how every Card Reader became an android device, with dual front and rear facing cameras? How about how every security camera is now a wifi camera? Coincidentally, that runs android. As does the automated checkouts that proliferated after the pandemic, they record you as you use them and they take your picture. They record your grocery list, card number and then they follow you, in your car using your location data. Your phone, announces itself to every other smart device around it, to wifi routers and bluetooth devices. Even Turned off, apple products use Low Energy Bluetooth, powered by NVRAM to be able to locate you within a margin of error as low as 6 inches.

What is happening now, in the United States and around the world is merely theatre. Conducted by the surveillance arm and social engineering wing of the men who own the world. Apple is valued at over 3.6 Trillion Dollars. The entire GDP of Earth, is just over 13 Trillion Dollars. That is one company, add to that Google, Meta, X, Rupert Murdoch's empire. By the way, that does not include the Billions privately banked by Zuckerberg and the rest of them. You want to know, why the housing crisis exists? Why inflation exists? It benefits them, for it to exist. Facebook has been legitimately, causally (and I want to stress that) implicated in the Myanmar Genocide. Their choosing to have a single moderator that spoke one dialect of the local languages, operating out of Dublin, Ireland with more than 6 hours in the time difference. To review and curtail racist and genocidal content uploaded to their platform. Was a conscious decision, done for personal economic benefit. Banks make money, by ostensibly betting on geopolitics. Say, for example you know there's going to be serious social and economic unrest in Myanmar. Well you take options predicting that companies with a lot of holdings in that state will take a nosedive. You make exponentially larger gains than by buying and trading Swiss Francs for Euros.

Cryptocurrency, there's a laugh. Bitcoin was not made by a genius Japanese recluse called "Satoshi." What kind of anime do you think you're living in? Crypto is meant to normalise the idea of an entirely digital currency. So, that every single transaction, that we make is recorded. They want to move us to a cashless society where our biometrics are directly linked to our bank accounts. What a way to sell it, as if it's privacy. Cryptographic currency, nobody knows anything, except that every single transaction is recorded on the publicly available ledger. Hang on, your wallet address is just a string of numbers, it doesn't mean anything. Yes, a unique string of numbers, tied to you, the purchase of cryptocurrency and opening of said wallet, using your Credit/Debit Card. 2FA doesn't exist to protect you from hackers. It exists to link, every single account you have to a common device. Your phone, with it's unique IMEI which is known by the state, your carrier, Google/Apple/Meta and every single centralised media platform you have ever visited. What have we done?

They have amassed so much money, through affiliate links, mass surveillance and tax fraud. That they can never be prosecuted for these evils. The rapid acceleration in global warming is directly caused by Amazon and other Chinese suppliers. They pollute en masse, destroy our wildlife and record every waking moment of our lives in the name of "progress." They have dirt of every single person in the world, then they built LLM's to be able to effectively wield it against us. Even if you're a Ludite, who never used a smartphone, they know who your family are, they know who your children are and if they can't bribe, bend of break you? They can just have you killed. They'll be cleared, just like every accusation of sexual misconduct, every human rights violation, every scandal because when you can give someone 100,000,000 dollars, and not even notice. Why wouldn't you be completely insane? Why wouldn't you feel like a god? The fundamental binding link for all of 21st century human society is capital resources. Through broken ownership laws, we have allowed people to remove all obstacles to monopolisation and human enslavement.

In 2023 The US Justice Department ruled Google was a monopoly and ordered them to divest. In September of the following year, they found Alphabet, Google's parent company, in contempt and ordered them to divest Chrome, or Android. Now they get to keep it. In 2016 Google's company, X (subtle) then X Development LLC. Held a talk on the theoretical power of social engineering. Although, quite unnerving, they specified that it was just theoretical. You know what else happened in 2016? The Brexit Referendum, where this party UKIP, appeared, out of nowhere into mainstream conciousness. With provably false claims about the EU's relationship, with then member state, The United Kingdom, printed on the side of Busses. This is nothing new, I invite anyone to read the back catalogue of articles written by Boris Johnson whilst he worked for the Daily Telegraph, if you really want to dive into right wing political lies from that era. All of, it circulated, on Facebook.

At the same time, we see mass migration happening from the East, to the West. Brought in through visa programs lobied for by corporations, McDonald's, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Google, Meta. What starts proliferating on social media? Less than two weeks after the presidential debate where Donald Trump states, "They're eating the cats and dogs." A video of supposedly, police bodycam footage appears on r/Crazyfuckingvideos, that shows officers in a different part of Ohio, not Springfield, approaching a large, nude, catatonic black woman, covered in blood and fur. The title says she has just eaten the neighbour's cat. Immediately in the comments we see two things, "OMG, Trump was right." Then the defense "She's not a Haitian Migrant, she's an American Citizen" and "This didn't even happen in Springfield guys." The result is two fold, you either believe what Trump has said, or you believe the opposite and that this will be used to justify what he said. In reality, it's fake. It is designed to entrench you in your previously held beliefs, because the goal is to divide the working class.

The same thing happened with "Axle Rudikabana" the supposed 17-year-old UK citizen of African descent who, we are told stabbed 3 girls to death at a "Taylor Swift Themed Event" in the UK in 2024. One of which, in the neck 124 individual times, almost decapitating her. There is no footage, of Axle Rudikabana, or any further detail of what this event was, or any image of this boy, or the girl's family. The UK is the most highly surveilled country in western Europe, there is no footage of the attack, of this boy traveling to the event, of anyone walking into it from the street outside. Nothing. There is later a video of a police car driving down a non-descript road, we are told is the police transferring him to court. How do you possibly determine, 124 individual stab wounds to the neck? Where the girl is almost decapitated. 124? He would have had to have been on top of this girl for multiple minutes. This "Taylor Swift Themed Event" Had no security? Had no working cameras and had nobody who could have caught an image, or moved to stop this teenager with a knife. Then come the comments, "He's a UK Citizen, he's not a migrant."

The Dublin Riots of 2023 where far right groups "protest" as a little girl is stabbed by a mentally ill Eastern European man and also Irish national. The little girl in question being the child of a Polish Woman and Brazillian man and also an Irish Citizen. Bravely saved by a Brazillian delivery driver. To date, there has been no footage of the attack, no footage of the little girl, no video recorded interview of the parents, or the perpetrator of the attack. Then the comments in r/Ireland. "He was an Irish Citizen, not an asylum Seeker." "The little girl's parents are foreigners, this has nothing to do with immigration." Do we understand, what this is? This is programming. I could go on, but I'm at the text limit.

Yeah, but they enjoy their tax bracket because they purchase it from the leaders of EU governments for pennies of its value to them. Look at Ireland, where the politicians refused to comply with EU's tax requirements for Google, Apple and Meta. Men are weak and can be bought with trinkets. The Middle Class simply exist as mouth pieces for the corporate owners of Earth.

How do we avoid defederation through leemy.world and lemmy.ml? What I mean is, there are instances for Canada, or FOSS, or any other inalienable trait. Most can communicate with eachother with exception of porn specific instances. When new people sign up, they look for popular instances and there are no restrictions on what you can join. So, larger instances like .world and .ml will have more foot traffic and more new signups. I think that's just an immediate path to recreate reddit and I think that needs to be recognised and seriously avoided, at all costs. The whole point is that this is not-for-profit, free of advertisements and already voyager as downloaded for android contains ads. Also, unless specifying only foss software during the building process of app on linux, ads are present there too. I would love to see some community driven livestreams or events, where we could fund the developers ourselves through donations. We're all refugess from reddit, but that doesn't mean we have to be "libre reddit." I think we could easily fund ourselves if we fostered more of a connected sense of community through events and conversations, turn this group of websites into something more than just friendly social media.

Leave, protest. Refuse to work in a system that does not oppose fascism. I have two Bachelor's degrees, one in the arts, one in horticultural science. (indoor gardening) At home, I produce fresh air, clean water, grow my own drugs and my own food. I sell car parts and I bar tend for capital because the company I worked for previously is owned by an American investment firm. I make substantially less than I was a couple months ago. But I can sleep at night, if enough people say "go fuck yourself" it will work. Do not devalue the importance you bring to your job, finding people who can work in the most banal roles, effectively. That have to be trained and won''t immediately bounce when there's a better cash offer, is way harder than people realise. I am asked to come back every few months and I say "no." We need to work as a group to send the message. Life is only so hard and money so important, because of the system. If the system starts to fail or become less effective, the power of bodies to restrict our access to the resources of capital disappears. Keep fighting.

Oh completely, there will be blood not global extinction though. It's accelerationism. Musk removed the government bodies investigating the safety of neuralink, as soon as that happened Meta announced their own brain chip. That's why Joe Rogan, close personal friend of Elon Musk, has been used to plant ideas of technology getting into your body. Remember him talking about how cool it'll be? Nobody will want it "Until you're flying around the neighbourhood, shooting lazers out of your eyes". Big Tech all has one goal, Ads beamed directly into your brain. Permanent "content." Unending novelty to quell any uprising, that's why starlink exists. Never out of range of wifi and that is what generative AI is for. You remember the chip shortage? Why it's a thousand dollars now for a half decent nvidia card? It's because Generative AI lives and dies by the number of threads it can process at once and that is dictated by the GPU array. That's why the chip shortage started during covid and then afterwards Microsoft, Google, Brave, Duck Duck Go. Everyone has an AI Assistant. The embedded AI in these browsers and on your phone is a smaller version of the one running on their servers. It can see everything on your phone, always and report back.We know this already, when apple announced that they had identified users sharing child pornography and that their phones AI had identified them. Ignoring the obvious moral question of "how did they train their AI's to recognise child sex abuse material?" That's a statement that you have no privacy in anything you do with these products anymore. There is no end-to-end encryption that can protect you from that. That's why LLM were created, 1st for surveillance, 2nd to be able to search the ungodly amount of data that Google and Apple and Microsoft have collected on all of us over the last quarter century. Using commonalities in search patterns and browser telemetry to track all of your movements online. To proliferate, wifi cameras all over the world, replacing the bulk of traditional closed circuit television systems. Instead we have computers with cameras, that run android. The automatic checkouts that ballooned in size and quantity during the pandemic, reducing the number of workers required and recording your grocery list, card number and taking your picture when you check out.

Just like your clock in machine at work that runs on a tablet that runs android and takes your picture. Why does the clock in machine need to record you? Why Does alexa and google home always need to be listening to you? Curtis Yarvin is a self-titled extremist and technocrat. One who believes that society should be run by enlightened scientists (See: delusional tech bros who cannot relate to normal people because their actions and lives are no longer dictated by the drive to accrue capital). Yarvin said in 2008 that the goal of a technocratic society should be to "Virtualise, non-productive people as a humane alternative to genocide." They want to plug us in, and allow those they have no use for to live out the rest of their lives virtually as they slowly die from dehydration and starvation over a few weeks. Those they find useful will be forced to work to rent their homes in newly developed tech cities. There will be no physical cash. All transactions will be recorded and monitored any unique idea will be recorded to prevent anyone else from accruing the capital to "ascend" to their class. Dissent will be monitored through AI, Hey Grok/Gemini/ Copilot etc. Is anyone voicing distrust or unhappiness with the regime? This sounds absurd, I know. But I must point out, Curtis Yarvin is regularly around the whitehouse, he is also a close personal friend of Peter Thiel and mentor to JD Vance. That is where the far-right came from, it came from Big Tech. It created a vacuum of entry level jobs absorbed by Uber, Lyft, Skip the dishes (Just Eat) allowing for undocumented migrants to use the app to usurp food delivery and taxi services. Skirt labour laws and remove the need to supply insurance and pay minimum wage. It created a job shortage, leading to higher rates of competition and fewer working young men. Social Media and the entire clearnet, has been centralised to a point of absolutionist. control. They algorithmically feed us all of our information, through the phone, they divided us, so there is no discourse. They created this cognitive dissonance, where we have been conditioned to disregard IMMEDIATELY, other peoples ideas.

We are shown information we already believe to be correct, under the illusion that this is what everyone sees. The internet is nothing but a giant skinner box, moulded to create these conditions. That's why enlightened scientist, champion of logic and reason, Jordan B. Peterson, suddenly does not understand global warming. The science we explain to 5 year olds. There is no culture war, there is just a generation of radicalised men, manipulated into war by billionaires to finally go mask off and seize control of all of Earth's resources. They want to speed global warming, strip mine the entire planet, while we are huddled in their earthscrapers and techno cities, and then fuck off to Mars. They have talked openly about this for the last 25 years at least, it is not a secret. The first earth scraper has already been approved for construction. In Hungary, you know, that place with Orban. Trumps authoritarian buddy. They need fascism, they need intolerance to be allowed to push us into global nuclear conflict. If all this sounds impossible, I'd just like to point out, that the former director of the Technocratic Movement is Elon Musk's Maternal grandfather. He was an absolute fraud, like Ellen and Chiropractor. They aren't enlightened scientists. They are racists, global terrorists and the single largest organised spy network the world has ever known. We need to burn them -the fuck- down. Smart Tech is to make you stupid. Autocorrect, so you can't spell without it. Google maps to track everywhere you go and keep you looking at a screen so you don't commit local scenery to memory and you can't find your way out of a paper bag without them knowing. Every person who has ever used any of their voice recording software, has been voice printed. I mean, maybe it wasn't a good idea to let 5 companies map every single above ground man made structure on Earth, every single road system and come, preinstalled. Monitoring every single thing you have ever logged into a search bar. Every automatic backup you did not know was happening because they made it opt out. Every passport scan, credit card number, debit card number license plate. Every persons medical history, finger prints, home address and social circle.

To be fair, it did stop a lot of people wanking into their cereal. Not all, surely, but a lot.
