The politicians in this country are completely out of touch with reality.
How much could a banana cost, Michael? $10?
There’s always money in the Afghanistand
I've made a huge mistake
No no no; politicians in this country are used to being able to lie with impunity and have the backing of the state enforce their positions.
Why do you think there are suddenly 19 new/resurrected Internet bills that are like “the government needs the ability to monitor and record and totally ban every click and pixel of every American at all times of all devices without warrant or question FOR THE CHILDREN”
Yeah it’s because they realize they’re cooked.
Why do you think there is always suck outrage at “TikTok”? For all the reasons it sucks, they had far less control over TikTok than the other platforms, and it scared the shit out of them.
America has been using our labor and wealth to do genocide and imperialism since the fall of the Nazis (edit:’far longer at home but we weren’t such prolific exporters until then) and they have mostly kept the wool over our eyes, but their little project has gotten out of hand and now it’s too ridiculous to hide.
They would rather imprison us all than to fail, and it seems they’ll fucking try.
