29. No shit..And It is nightmarish

My guess at this point is that sometime in the Bush administration (all that “total information awareness” rot) bts this present and appalling rollout of the surveillance state started and started ramping up around the time Google and Facebook started tightening their grip on society.
And these guys have been buying cheap spyware riddled shit from China and probably that creepy NSO group/blackcube etc forever and Russia is known for its ransomware..

The Epstein files aside, there is this trove of data about all the shit these guys did.
The average honest human has petty shit they do not want thrown out there.

Think of these “elite” parasites and their egos.

What we are basically in is a collection of shady operators who try to buy influence with politicians and pollute the information environment more and more.

This is basically a widespread extortion racket against all of us and we are the factory farmed or wet market animals and some kind of foul ransomware plus an out of control implementation of policing with more bots and geofence warrants and other shady shit..
And these guys want ransomware patches and documentaries and gladiator fights and spectacles and more lousy rubbish nonchoices like - bulk processing versus spectacles.

What we need is more Lina Khan/Bernie Sanders etc. Man..I wish at least the left would wake up thoroughly while there is any time left..
And are conservatives completely asleep?

I don’t set much store by this David Brooks type..but surely there are people like my dad who doesn’t ever see politics that is anti-him when this exposed as okay.

Who could want this rule by billionaire and Reason magazine?
Like these guys at the very top are mostly all a cancer and so many are beholden to them.
They don’t release stuff because they are all so compromised up top often.

Not the younger people thank god. What is with these guys.
But the problem is an asymmetry with the average person where leftists or liberals like me anyway are not going to cover for anyone. And there would be way more people like that left of centre. Whereas on the right, the top is hopeless of course.
It remains to be seen if the average right and conservative person would realize that all dishonest and corrupt people need to held accountable asap. But I suspect that instead it will continue to right shift.

The only solution I personally have is right or “left” if you were in the things I am filing complaints about, I don’t care. I am not covering for any serious wrongdoing.
Transactional == prostitute.

I am in India where it can hopefully be shut down with a criminal lawsuit filed.

I alerted my medical marijuana company and they are pretty straightforward and bright.
That is the difference between a blatantly made up demonized wrong doing with corrupt Reefer Madness malpractitioners piling on and trash sold as “pro immigration” that’s deeply anti-immigrant and undemocratic.

It is the influence of lobbying groups and Cato and Koch types driving this sleazy tech centric brand of “pro immigration” rot.
How does a race to the bottom not hurt immigrants most.

I am posting this and leaving a trail before this entrenches in the Trump 2.0 era. It was consistently undemocratic, unconstitutional trash in India and America and I am not a status quo.

I am not extreme! I am moderate! I am far left and radical green in this damn drivel..
Obama was working in a difficult milieu and he has changed. But in that era that fucking scumbag Larry Summers was considered a democrat. And Zuckerberg and Pichai and these tech creeps used to be as disingenuous as that troglodyte JD Vance.

It is a fiddly business working blind and going by who and when.
Musk and Palantir are relatively knew and a much faster cancer carrying out what probably started entrenching under Google and Facebook and locally Tata and my creepy communist state.
The specifics are bothering me a lot.

It was unambiguously Google and Tata and probably Facebook and my creepy communist state here in India and California..and these things were ongoing (I mean some of wildly illicit ubiquitous computing).

They cannot keep on saying… “we did all these creepy things for so long and got away with it! Why can’t we do even more creepy things!”
It wasn’t good that you ever did creepy things!

It is actually the worst damn argument to say..but things were always creepy!
lol..

I mean yes probably, but that ..

Nothing factual is ever about any side so much as exactly what happened. But they go on about biases without getting their real biases with the pro status quo crowd. They want people who won’t rock the boat.


We are a species that builds complex systems and that point this sort of us v them or more solutionism or hustle..No..

I am not extreme! This is stupid.
These are the dumbest worldviews and arguments ever. It is such a tangled mass of absurdity stupidity avarice greed and creepiness

All these fuckers should be in prison..dammit..
I have a headache..

I am going to file complaints against all the creeps who engaged in the exploitation of technicalities to get away with stuff..
Damn them all..
How do people think like this?
A fucking hell cult spawning everywhere..
Madness..These people are not just evil they are also stupid and..god..they don’t even have any survival instincts.
Fucking lemmings. I protested the stupidity throughout.
A suicidal slow or fast timescale death cult but as it increasingly benefits just about no one..how is this practical?
These people are stupid. Almost fascinatingly stupid..your creeps over in America, our creeps here in India, the creeps in China and Russia and the ME…the creeps in Eastern Europe.

Maybe mass lobotomy is less popular in Western Europe and here in India at least we are staggered in time. So we have a little more time which I will use to signal draconian pushback..the average citizen still has a say..asap and ignoring it further is suicide for them. I refuse to go down with these damn lemmings.
