The government in general is crumbling and it’s corrupt “leaders” will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it’s legitimacy.

They’ll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.

Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested

Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking

What comes next? Deporting citizens who are just criminals?

Trump didn’t shy away: “I’m all for it,” he said.

“If they’re criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over the head that happen to be 90 years old and if, uh, if they rape 87-year-old women in Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them,” he added.

“They’re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too.”

I just read that the Indian government told it’s citizens to leave Pakistan if they’re there. Isn’t India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?

Blackrock owns the most shares too 🤡

Any vaguely political post gets hit by corpo-propaganda bots even on Lemmy. That’s why they sound like they have no idea what’s going on.

Youve explained a house flipping syndicate lmao. Dirty anarcho-capitalist leftist /s

Particularly as the systems get more and more sophisticated at hypnotizing

Economic black outs. They can’t ignore money.

This sounds dreamy

Every online space is being flooded with state run propaganda.

I’m not taking it personally lol but thank you for chiming in, it helps.

Nah I totally agree. I’m just pointing out the degree of hypocrisy. I’ve heard the take that the disingenuous politician realized they were free from repercussions after Nixon got away with it.

Didn’t mean to come off as divisive along party lines. Democratic and Republican party leadership is on the side of corporations and the wealthy. One class. Working class.

Woah woah. That was because he lied about it and it was a breach of family values.

Nothing like our current president who only tells the truth and is all about family values. And holds the Bible right side up.

Let’s not sugar coat it. I’m no trump fan but Biden was about as lucid as a piece of driftwood.

Advertising has grown into a monster. It’s pervasive. You seem to be defending the concept a lot, do you work in advertising? maybe you have better ideas as to how it should change to better address the problem the article charges advertising with.

It’ll be right before the false flag attack used to justify repression of dissent

Even more correct: most of the US government supports genocide, and don’t care that their constituents don’t.

It’s a logical conclusion from quack, imo. It’s the second thing that came to my mind after the obvious ‘oh duh cause he’s Russias agent’

Totally. The idea being that you’ll just take whatever bullshit in the meantime because you get to vote for the controlled opposition party every 4 years.

Party of the rich vs party of the wealthy
