what does 'left' mean to you, dear nazi?

maybe we should, like, do something about that?

yeah. letting silicon valley build the sword with which to slay the dragon Truth was really some 'neon genesis evangellion' grade bullshit. posadism hasn't failed in this timeline, though. fingers crossed.

but when the corporation is slobbering all over the president's dick while it feeds his ketamine addiction, how is it different from a part of the government?

no

so it doesn't mean anything. glad we agree laws were only ever an excuse, a way to keep the peasantry from banding together to protect their own when men rode in on horseback to take one of theirs, and a way to absolve a parasitic nobleman of his atrocities with a wrist slap, and disperse a crowd of raging peasants like a magic spell.

see, I remember getting banned on reddit for this several years ago. it was a thing. there was no rule against it; they just decided to. and now they're actively touching the president's dick (actual president, the white south african wannabe supervillain with the ketamine addiction, not the mcdonalds guy who technically puts us in the same continuity as the 'home alone' movies) which makes them effectively part of the government. and they're doing censorship of ideas they don't like. which is on paper supposed to be illegal in the united states. that was what I was getting at.

yeah brave always felt gross and i remember them doing shady crap for years.

im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump's dick down his throat. well, as far as it'll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can't really be trusted to not snitch at this point.

the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.

and does that word mean anything in this context?

fascists really love LLM's. like ridiculously in love with them. it's where all their 'art' comes from. it's made of the shallow aesthetics with no interiority they love so much. plus it doesn't really require articulating your desires much, or having artists.

fascism must always create more outsiders, must always create more enemies to keep control, to keep things directed.

remember, fascism appropriates genuine upset and the fact that to the privileged, equality feels like persecution. it steers itself by creating enemies to hate. remember: people's lives are genuinely fucking miserable. there is dystopian shit happening. and all of that is really complicated, and if people stopped to think about it for five minutes, they would pull a 1789.

so they just keep adding more enemies, and more derangements like what the qanons call 'baking' but hitler just said was the way everyone should read books, until they live in a totally unhinged fantasy world, and any method of social control must engage with the fantasy.

tl;dr: sacrificing external allies to fuel a persecution complex, keep control, entrench the madness, keep attention off the american elites that were at least rhetorically some of the initial targets.

can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?
