I don't have a smart device atm. I axed mine when I realised what was happening. I'm hoping to get one of Purism's devices soon. Moreso, I would love to fundraise (charity Livestream, podcast with promotional advertising, video series etc.) to fund Ubuntu Touch and PostmarketOS to get them proliferated across more devices. The folks who do the Linux After Dark Podcast, one of them I know took over the Ubuntu Touch project from Canonical. It would be awesome to put together a project to raise some awareness of the situation we find ourselves in and some money to take the power away from Big Tech.
The Privacy Guy seems like a decent dude, if one of them were functional across a broader range of devices, he might put it on some of his de-googled phones.
So, it's system shock
Hyper diffusion, the rejection of intellectualism, the great race of the Atlantians. Come to rear its ugly head again.
Paper and pencils aren't access points to infinite dopamine. Paper and pencil don't have algorithms so disgustingly invasive they detect when a teenage girl uploads and then immediately removes a photo. Recognise that as self-conciousness and bombard them with cosmetic advertisements to sell to her. Paper and pencils aren't 50% owned by a company that profiteered out of stealing your user data and selling it to Amazon. Who then used their gains to purchase every single emerging technology company in the world. Alphabet bought Google Maps, They Purchased Google Earth, They acquired the company that became Google Glass, they bought Google Sheets and android is just a fork of the Linux Kernel that they blocked the root directory from the User. Then they added spyware to each of them and have been collecting mass amounts of Data on every human being in the world ever since. Do not equate this to paper and pencil. Look what tech did to the Taxi industry, look at how it's decimated the restaurant industry. Forbes has predicted a 50% drop in global GDP to occur sometime between 2070-2090. Humanity has never been addicted to paper and pencil. This is not paper and pencil.
Yes, but Elon Musk is an idiot and his maternal Grandfather is the former head of the Technocratic movement. Tesla is a meme stock, doesn't mean that people won't put their faith in this vision of futurism and it doesn't mean that they won't destroy our planet in the attempt to achieve it.
Linux laptop, personal vpn configured using OpenVPN and the unending drive for revenge. For the lifetime that was facsimiled and stolen from me through manufactured consent.
The plan is to confine those of us on Earth to a slave class, working to tirelessly fund their “idealised utopia” in their technostate cities while they commit total ecocide by strip-mining our entire planet, polluting all of our air, water and land. While we are locked away complacent with only their generative AI to bring us comfort through our neuralink brain implants. You will own nothing, every thought you have will be monitored, every idea, memory, dream, feeling, will be what you are permitted to have. This is what AI is for. Smart Technology was always supposed to make you stupid. Google Maps, so you can’t find your way out of a paper bag without it. Autocorrect so you can’t spell anymore. Spotify at max volume has made an entire generation hard of hearing without them even realising. Addicted to screens, unable to resist reading the next piece of political propaganda. Social Media and smartphones are how the Billionaire class has tricked the entire world into spying on itself for them. Do you remember Joe Rogan talking about how cool it’ll be when technology gets in your body? How no one will want it, “until you’re flying around shooting lasers out of your eyes.”? Do you remember the Cambridge Analytica leaks showing that Facebook pushed the lies and propaganda that resulted in Brexit? Google have everything you have ever logged into a search bar. They have every phone number you’ve ever owned, every photo, from every account you’ve ever had across every one of their platforms. The acceleration of climate change is completely because of Amazon.com’s effect on the global supply chain. 2 Factor authentication does not exist to protect you from hackers. It is so your phone number is always linking you personally, to every account you have.
Did you notice after COVID how every bank machine became a smart device that runs android? One with cameras on both sides? What about how clock in machines became android tablets and they take your picture when you clock in and out. Why do they need to take your picture? Smart watches record your biometric data and send it to Apple, or Google. You can’t talk on your handset in the car but every new vehicle comes with a giant screen in the centre console that runs either IOS/Android. Every new security camera is a wifi camera which runs android. Why does a CCTV camera need to have an internet connection. Every checkout machine runs android, records your grocery list and records you, while it takes your picture and your card information. The phones are always listening always recording. Google have just bought the data from Europe, by paying the fines. That’s why they went after Germany and had Mers elected. They want to dismantle any and all privacy protections left. But why? Curtis Yarvin, mentor to JD Vance and Close personal friend of Peter Thiel already wrote about his desire to “Virtualise non-productive people as a humane alternative to genocide.” That is what they want for the rest of us, to die dehydrated and starving while we live out the rest of our lives virtually, through generative AI. My friend you don’t want them to get to Mars, AI exists to spy on everything you do and to silence dissent. So they can easily search the gargantuan database they have collected on all of humanity by saying “Hey Gemini/Grok/DuckAI/Leo/Copilot etc. Is anyone out there expressing dissatisfaction with the regime?”
Maybe I’m just being silly. I mean, it’s not like they have the exact co-ordinates of every man-made above ground structure in the world. Oh wait, that’s Google Earth. By the way, did you know Google developed none of these technologies? They made their money selling your information to advertisers then purchased every emerging innovative company they could, rebranded it as Google and added spyware. All of the far-right groups that emerged after COVID are funded by Big Tech and they all have the same names. America First, Britain First, Ireland First, Francais Premier. There are no removeds coming for your kids , there are no dangerous, mentally-ill migrants eating cats and dogs. But they repeat that message over and over, whilst ensuring immigration remains high. The REAL reason everything is so expensive. Why we can’t afford housing, or food. The thing that is driving inflation is all because of wealth inequality. If I purchase from Amazon.ca from a canadian retailer. Canada sees no tax. Because, for the purposes of that transaction Amazon is in Sweden. Any transaction to Meta and countries see no tax, because for that purpose Meta are in Ireland. These companies collect money across every denomination from every country on Earth and they pay NO TAX. None of it returns to circulation. This forces the central banks of every nation to print more money which drives up inflation. Creating Further poverty, homelessness and enslaving us to their propaganda. This is why Elon Musk said a “Single World Government” would destroy society at the world economic forum. Because if we banded together as nations and said no more we could demand that these companies pay taxes back into the economies they steal from. We need to Tax Wealth, not work. If we were wise, we’d all install linux. divest ourselves from all of their properties, reject AI and buy flip phones. We have the choice to stop, we do not have to obey.
So, if we know this is happening and we know where.... why don't we peacefully protest with some highly flammable, totally innocuous items on us?
I worry more about human experimentation. Particularly in regard to Musk and Meta's brain implants. Neuralink is a dangerous way to direct technology and I completely believe that's these evil fuckbags ultimate goal.
Propaganda works.
Why can't I stop thinking endlessly about suicide?
Good. Shop local and learn to fix shit. Stop consuming, that's what got us here.
I work in parts in Niagara. Teslas make up less than 1% of our sales. Tesla dealerships do not correlate to the GM plant shut down at all, in any way. The CEO of the company which owns these dealerships (since unlike every other dealership in the world each brick and mortar dealership is privately owned by Tesla, as opposed to franchised) arguably bears most of the responsibility for the continued downturn of the industry.
