The government in general is crumbling and it’s corrupt “leaders” will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it’s legitimacy.

They’ll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested

Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking

I just read that the Indian government told it’s citizens to leave Pakistan if they’re there. Isn’t India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?

Blackrock owns the most shares too 🤡

It’ll be right before the false flag attack used to justify repression of dissent

Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don’t care that their constituents don’t.

It’s a logical conclusion from quack, imo. It’s the second thing that came to my mind after the obvious ‘oh duh cause he’s Russias agent’

Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.

I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.

they rubber stamped every shipment and quota request for the people making the drugs.

I don’t have trouble believing this could be the case, but can you link some evidence?

Wild. I’ve read starship troopers but didn’t know all this about him.

The general online labeling of Heinlein as a kind of fascism idealizer (due to the popularity of that book) begins to fall apart when you view him as an author who experimented with different forms of governance in his world building.

I wonder which US state most closely resembles this. Probably in the NE

Yeah, preposterous bills written with no intention to actually pass have been part of the game for quite some time.

I guess the crazy part is that now you have to check up on them.

I think the other hand is telling every other appendage to make a bunch of noise while it loots the country to answer your question.

Thank you for this

I’d like to take the part of the baby churning plan where a homemaker is part of each household. Like, subtract the misogyny where it’s automatically assumed it would be the woman but households with children take a lot of work.

F zero gx specifically is the goat

Yeah I read somewhere that, in Russian culture, the more absurd the cover up story the more insulting it is meant to be for the victim.

Like if someone “shot themselves 3 times in the back of the head then fell out of a window”. Maybe Epstein fits into that too

I’m asking why as a country, a state, or a community anyone would want illegal immigration

I think you’re already there but the illegal immigrants are here because corporations benefit from the desperate cheap labor. Both parties largely turn a blind eye to the trickle and talk and talk about what to do. I’ve yet to see a proposal where corporations or their leadership face consequences if they’re found to be employing illegal immigrants.

I totally agree with your take on how deportations don’t help.

To play both sides, a lot of immigrants choose to work here for low wages in order to send money back to their families from their home country. They endure horrible conditions and don’t expect much social mobility. Their families usually come from countries hurt by neo capitalism so I get why rekorse criticizes their role as being morally dubious for the citizens of the host country.

Anyone know the term for what was described in the article as “people don’t know what’s real anymore” ?

I know the subject has long been prophesized by tech enthusiasts as the inevitable result of competing echo chambers but seeing it happen in front of our eyes hits different.
