Government? United States.

I have several.

  • 2020 Yes we know, the pandemic. But, this was a point in time where corporations saw minimum wage workers as very expendable, so much that they demanded the workers to work in unhealthy situations while calling them “essential”. All of that washed away when the pandemic became more manageable.

  • 2016 and 2024. You know those years

  • Edward Snowden’s revealing of widespread government spying on its citizens

  • The failed impeachments of Donald Trump

  • Democrats helping to fund ICE after the fact

  • The Minnesotan crackdown brought by ICE

    1776. Saying that it is self-evident that all men are created equal but enslaving blacks and genociding natives and denying voting rights to 90% of the population.

    Citizens United. That ruling should have started a riot that didn’t end until the constitution was amended.

    When the first guy who called himself a king’s swordsmen fell asleep. Should have peasant mobbed his oversized hovel and never let anyone do it again.

    I think when they just said ‘Yes, LLMs can steal your work’. That showed they don’t even care about property rights, which is the one thing the right have always pretended was their raison d’être.

    Foolishness:

    You don’t have the false-dichotomy of ( Support_the_Government || Helpless_Apathy ),

    you HAVE also the ability to compete-against the people who are ruining things!!

    Yes, political-process prefers/selects-for DarkTriad types, but it’s still possible to compete against the bullshit.

    ( & old grouches like Jeff Tiederich ( sorry if misspelt ) & me can clarify things, for many, in this age of pseudojournalism : )
