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.
Of course you like it, it affords you the ability to live. Capitalism is devised to keep that status quo. We are trained to love our gilded cages. Thank you for qualifying that you don't support fascism, self-interest is key to allowing the continuation of the exploitation of the working class.
And why should I believe anything you say? I mean, if I'm correct and the internet is a giant skinner box used to condition us. Wouldn't that be what you'd argue anyway?
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.
We wonder where the monster fetish in women's erotic media originates from? hmmmmm
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.
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.
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.
Yo, so I would like to first point out. I am not at all talking down to you, or denigrating your lived experience. I am just pointing stuff out and I do not mean any offense and I mean all of this. First, this is taken from the Wikipedia page regarding The Tiananmen Square Protests and Massacre:
**The Chinese government continues to forbid discussions about the Tiananmen Square protests[315][316] and has taken measures to block or censor related information, in an attempt to suppress the public's memory of the Tiananmen Square protests.[2] Textbooks contain little, if any, information about the protests.[317] After the protests, officials banned controversial films and books and shut down many newspapers. Within a year, 12% of all newspapers, 8% of all publishing companies, 13% of all social science periodicals, and more than 150 films were either banned or shut down. The government also announced that it had seized 32 million contraband books and 2.4 million video and audio cassettes.[318] Access to media and Internet resources about the subject are either restricted or blocked by censors.[319] Banned literature and films include Summer Palace,[320] Forbidden City, Collection of June Fourth Poems,[citation needed] The Critical Moment: Li Peng diaries and any writings of Zhao Ziyang or his aide Bao Tong, including Zhao's memoirs.
Print media that contain references to the protests must be consistent with the government's version of events.[267] Domestic and foreign journalists are detained, harassed, or threatened, as are their Chinese colleagues and any Chinese citizens who they interview.[321] Thus, Chinese citizens are typically reluctant to speak about the protests because of potentially negative repercussions. Many young people who were born after 1980 are unfamiliar with the events and are therefore apathetic about politics. Youth in China are sometimes unaware of the events, the symbols which are associated with them such as the Tank Man,[322][323] or the significance of the date of the massacre 4 June itself.[324] Some older intellectuals no longer aspire to implement political change. Instead, they focus on economic issues.[325] Some political prisoners have refused to talk to their children about their involvement in the protests out of fear of putting them at risk.**
"Just watch that channel." On that platform owned and operated by Google. Who were ousted previously for Project Butterfly, which was their move to illegally enter the Chinese Market. I say illegally, as Google, being an American company and major piece of the Global Spy network created under the Patriot Act, had no business working with an enemy of the State. Complying with Chinese censorship requirements and narrative control. The same Google who Alphabet were ordered to break up. Then found in contempt of court and now, miraculously still exist unchanged. My brother in Christ, from the bottom of my heart, please hear me. The corporate media we are consuming, whether produced through Legacy Media outlets owned by Billionaires. Or for Youtube, (also owned by Billionaires) is lying to all of us. That is why we are here, on Lemmy, a federated instance of a reddit clone. If I might offer a counter-narrative. Perhaps, this video you describe would exist as a token to show the tolerance of the Chinese government and their perceived modernity. They're so well-known for their reactions to the mention of the single most globally derided act of barbarism against its own citizens. Despite the contrary being overwhelmingly well-documented and understood across academia. Or, maybe it is allowed to exist to benefit global corporatism by whitewashing the atrocities committed by China throughout the Tiananmen Square protests and Massacre. If we examine the global political climate we can deduce that the production of this content may serve the broader purpose of recontextualising global youth opinions of China. Potentially to ingratiate the Western Hemisphere into lifting the arms embargo between America/EU to China. Maybe to be timed at the heels of a global conflict driven by the collapse of the world's reserve currency at the hands of billionaire sycophants created by Big Tech monopolies.
The same ones controlling the production, dissemination and censorship of all of the content on their platforms by virtue of being the capitalist owners of those that produce the unending novelty for the platform owners, for free. That also produce the algorithm that constantly feeds us tailored content, based on the massive profile of every single online activity, google search, voice note, photograph and recorded conversation that they have collected on all of us for the last quarter century. If there are people left by the end of this, there will be myths and legends about how humanity was manipulated into destroying itself. Using science meant to addict us, normalise loneliness and retrain our discourse to be innately combatant, disbelieving and adversarial. All because we are slaves to the mass hallucination. That fiat money actually exists and that it gives corporations power.
But that's just like, you know, my opinion or whatever....
A tenth of a year is still 36 and 1/2 days of uninterrupted cs per anum.
Yet, they lack the simple freedom to acknowledge the existence of a certain date in their country's history. The recognition of which, will result in their arrest and potential disappearance. Freedom is not free if your acknowledgement of the truth is considered "wrong think."
Propaganda, used to foster the soft normalisation of Eugenics. Total bullshit.
When do we nut up and turn FightClub into a documentary?
Granted, but that doesn't answer the question at hand.
No, it is on voyager too. I built and installed it last night.
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.
I block everything Meta so I don't know what that is, but why would you link to centralised social media from the fediverse. We come here to avoid the tracking.
No, it does step towards a circular European Economy. If you actually read into the proposed legislature instead of just assuming what it says based on the headline you would see that. Point two the added requirements of staff and logistics = things are more exponentially more expensive is a false dichotomy perpetuated by American corporate interest in order to demoralise and discourage competition, thus increasing their market share and their stranglehold on retail as a whole. Point three, you emphasise that the store upcharges you for convenience and then change the argument to be in order to pay people a fair wage. A wage which amazon does not. Notice how you subconsciously demonise the intention of the local retailer? Even though amazon is literally the reason for the accelerated global warming. I would argue the increase in price is directly caused by the decrease in traffic created by amazon and global online retail as a whole. I would further add to the point that reputable companies line Sony, or Bosch. Still charge as much, if not more to sell through amazon. Many producers of high quality electronics just do not use amazon anymore, because their return policy has always been detrimental to producers of quality goods, immediately taking the proceeds of the sale from the store with no evidence to support the customer claims and making it prohibitively costly to do business on the platform and make products that are not complete garbage.
Counterargument, removing the "cheap alternative" will 1) Drive additional traffic to stores, allowing people to shop locally again and re level the playing field in terms of competitive pricing. 2) Allow more retail businesses to open up and meet newly available niche requirements created by the absence of these retailers. 3) Create a whole new argument for the increase of income to a liveable minimum wage, benefiting literally everybody but the 1% We have been conditioned go think that things are the way they are and they can't change. It is complete nonsense, it is a lie perpetuate by the middle class, who are owned by our corporate masters. We do not need these, we do not need their products and we can all achieve an improved level of personal wealth through the removal of them and their monopolistic hoarding of capital through tax evasion and political corruption. Google's parent company Alphabet, valued at over a trillion Dollars, Amazon valued at 2.4 trillion, Apple at 3.6 Trillion. 2781 inidividauls with a combined networth of over 3.6 trillion dollars between them. The entire global gdp is 13.6 Trillion dollars. Norway's entire store of wealth, largest in Europe, sits at 1.6 Trillion euro. With all due respect my friend, stop looking at this so myopically as to look at your comfort in existing as another person's slave and wake up to where all the wealth has gone. We have all been lied to.
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.
