How do you know how anyone voted? What we do know is that the status quo was going to lose and we went with it anyway. So until one with such an opinion crawls out of the ass of the billionaires and joins us in the sunshine, maybe they should stop parroting the shit noises they hear in there.

Soon to be all countries in short order, with age controls, the trojan horse.

It was on my computer, on, until well after they implemented it, they allowed an opt out.

100 companies that each sold your information to data brokers and is now held by, everyone with money.

Wait what? They don’t allow websites to use dark mode to prevent fingerprinting? I had firefox warn me Lowes was asking for my biometrics back in 2020 or so. Wtf? Are these websites grabbing my iris scans and fingerprints without me knowing it?

So, that’s not a lot? I want to use vpn’s, but don’t know if I can trust any of the free ones. I hear many sell your information to data brokers. I use tor occassionally, but I get endless captchas on firefox afterwards from cloudflare when I do, and a lot of sites refuse to let you one when using tor.

It’s nice bellingcat is taking time off from ratting out leftist revolutionaries from the 60’s and thereabouts to do something useful. Because the Russians were sponsoring left revolution, and now aren’t, they feel righteous ratting out people from before the russians went fascist. Fuck you Belllingcat.

Too bad even the left is not immune to industry PR campaigns, least of all nuclear. You know who you are.

By swiss law the subject of reporting has a right to rebuttal, but palantir insisted on a big set of points not covered in the article being published by the collective of journalists and they refused. They said the lawsuit was more about the narrative of failure, palantir was courting the swiss since covid with 9 high profile meetings and failed to get any contracts. The evil bastards narrative they seem to enjoy, the failure narrative not so much.

That is the only way I can find streaming links now, search engines quit providing them.

It really doesn’t, I have to do a quarter of my searches over in ddg after startpage refuses to return answers it used to. Startpage is google run through a proxy server.

They can’t see past their next set of financial statements. And the government wants those content creators to fail so they can control all information.

Be that as it may, voting democrat doesn’t change it, democrats are captured by the oligarchy, since before most of us were born. Until we fight under credible leadership we are doomed to fail.

I guess I still do have some hope, not in the government, but in the people, to overthrow the oligarchy. I think we can do it. Not saying anything better will result, but razing the oligarchy is it’s own reward, and Epstein is the key.

I’m not saying I think it will be enforced, just that it’s not legal. It’s a perversion of our laws, a betrayal of the country. I don’t get accused of having faith in the government very often I can assure you. In fact I get a lot of shit for my take on my lack of faith by those that trust the democrats.

This is old news. Old old news. The only news is whether he admitted it or not.

Just last year, the feds set up a one stop shop to buy ALL the data broker info, and distribute it to agencies, as before they were buying it piecemeal themselves and agencies had bought many of the same tranches of data. multiple times independently.

But this was going on all through Biden, to this current guy’s first term, to idk when.

While the Supreme Court has allowed it, it doesn’t mean it’s legal. We that can read should all be able to interpret the bill of rights, it doesn’t mince words. It clearly forbids this. This is illegal, the supreme court doesn’t have the authority to cancel the constitution. Only 3/4 or states do.

As I was saying on another thread, this current fuckery dates back to the Business Roundtable of 1971, big business huddled up and made a game plan to seize control. They got their asses kicked out of power from FDR and kept losing. Project 2025 is just the newer iteration of that game plan. Part of that plan clearly is to keep us disunited and destroy any competing organizations, and or take control of them secretly like with our opposition political party, not much of a secret to many of us I know.

The only answer is to organize, and to do that we need new social media, that we control. Like the fediverse, but set up better. But we needed it 20 years ago. Next best time is now.

I had a shit employer, I’m normally self-employed but I took a job one winter, they wanted me to download some app called Deputy to like spy on me 24/7. I never did.
