Releasing this today would have been funny if The New York Times wasn’t dogshit.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

CINEMATIC

literally this

The entire ballgame, folks. Unconstrained fascism on display in the Oval Office. Either we’re a Republic of laws & constitution, or not. It’s increasingly obvious which one it is. Total, complete failure of Article I.

To summarize: what I am warning about here is my guess that there may be a plan underway to build a powerful surveillance tool for the purpose of political persecution. Maybe like the Chinese Social Credit System. Disguised as an AI initiative.

I hope we never find out if that plan is achievable.

One objection you could raise to my fears: aren't we already heavily surveilled by private companies that blob all data together? Is it really much worse if the government also does?

Yes and yes. The government has more coercive power than any private entity, though it could magnify private power.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

The stage of capitalism where people who protest against a failing car company are sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador.

"We had a good thing you stupid son of a bitch, we had Russia preoccupied, we had OPEC cuts, we had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could have shut your mouth, let us drill, and made as much money as you needed, but you just had to blow it up, you and your pride and your ego"

If you want to understand politics in an entirely new way, read “Don’t Think of An Elephant.” Many things will stop being a mystery. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
