I have a news for you, this isn’t just American internal politics. Surveillance capitalism is happening across the world. There are those pushing for chat control in the EU and UK is starting to do the same and contracted Palantir to manage the NHS data.

They have a very short life span though.

Would this be algorithm speak though? I’ve seen in social media spell “wyt”, which is probably to circumvent the algorithm censorship.

Google improves their search results, then they won’t need AI to do the searching?

I have to vehemently disagree because the Nazis are fucking overrated and don’t deserve too much credit. Very little known fact that most people don’t realise is that Nazi Germany was on a brink of another economic collapse before invading Poland. In spite of warning from his economic minister at the time, Hitler let government spending balloon because of rearmament and increased public spending including pageantries to distract and awe the public. Hitler did not want to hear any contrarian opinions and sidelined his economic minister. Hitler had to absolutely invade countries to plunder and fund his government. If there was no war, Nazi Germany would have just collapsed on its own.

And lastly, if the Nazis were forward thinking, then why were they shocked when the Allies declared war on them? Hitler was deluded enough to think he could even convince the British to side with him to fight against communism.

So many Brexiteers despise EU’s regulations. They were not even hiding it when they released a book stating they will make London the “Singapore on Thames”. They tried to implement a libertarian economics under Liz Truss but it proved to be unpopular.

There are interest groups in the EU who are pushing for more digital surveillance, but they kept losing (for now). With the UK no longer in the EU, such interest groups find it easier to impose their desire in the UK because the country is no longer subject to EU laws and regulations.

This is why the UK left the EU.

US doing whatever the fuck right now is a massive PR win for China.

Unsurprisingly, some U.S. lawmakers are already trying to stop those cars from coming over the border.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Haley Stevens recently introduced the Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act, which aims to ban connected cars built or designed in China, as well as other adversarial countries like Russia and Iran, from entering the U.S.

This is something Ford CEO Jim Farley called for earlier this year.

“We should not let them into our country,” Farley said during an appearance on Fox & Friends, according to Bloomberg. “Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country, and for us to lose that to those exports would be devastating to our country.”

Capitalists and CEOs: It’s not free market when I have to compete!

It makes so much sense!

I don’t know, being a hunter gatherer won’t let me live the power fantasy of being Batman. I can’t pull all those slick moves in real life!

Immigrants are also more willing to do more overtime than locals, because the locals would generally say “I can’t do overtime. I’m going to meet my mom for coffee on Sunday morning”. Immigrants are also more likely to do shift work than locals. This isn’t just corroborated by studies but i also know firsthand. So indeed, immigrants do the jobs that locals don’t want to do.

I get the grievances on the effects of immigration on the job market, especially on the working class, but if everyone looks at the bigger picture, the problem is that each countries have their own rules and standards which are being exploited creating a race to the bottom. Poorer countries are cheap for exploitation, while the working class in richer countries, whose jobs were outsourced, are left hanging dry. The local working class are then outcompeted by desperate immigrants who are being exploited by businesses. In my opinion, if there is only a worldwide harmonisation to prevent the race to the bottom caused by mismanagement (or lack thereof) of globalisation…

Wehraboos should also understand that Nazi Germany is overrated. Most people don’t realise that the Nazis were extremely incompetent in handling the economy, so much so that Germany at the time was on the brink of another economic collapse just before Hitler invaded Poland. The economic collapse was held at bay for as long possible due to Nazis plundering the nations they conquered. But during peace time, they are absolutely idiots. If there had been no war, Nazi Germany would have already collapsed. That’s why my gripe with alternative history of Nazis winning is of it being rich. But in reality they had runaway government spending in just few years they had been in power.

Most bullies don’t.

Me: People still watch game reveals from big events?

For over twenty years, I stopped paying attention to big gaming announcements from big events like E3. I just learned the hard truth that it’s all marketing jazz and when the game is finally released, it is nothing like what was hyped up to be. I don’t even remember what was the game that disappointed me so hard to make me give up looking up game reveals.

I just let the finished product and reviews speak for themselves to influence me on whether or not I will play the game.

When I was in school, a question that comes up is how could anyone let fascism took place before. Our generation is finally seeing it again. A lot of people are sanewashing and still arguing whether we’re under fascism. There’s the answer: we’re frogs in boiling water.

It’s a quote from Nietzsche; which I think is becoming more true than truth itself the older I get.

This is why I tell people that life (not just history) is far more nuanced than we expect. We think we’re better, but I’m sure that future generations will judge us. I mean, we think we are lgbt tolerant now, but I distinctly remember growing up 10-15 years ago when a lot of people casually use “gay” to dismiss something they don’t like.

There is no truth, only interpretations.
