@openrightsgroup It would be convenient to apply all culpability to The USA, in this increasing emergency. But the fact of more authoritarian autocracies around the world, looking to monopolize vital root infrastructure, like #datamining, is clearly on the rise. The wealthiest are hedging their bets that #globalization is more prone to a more classical collapse, than just a normative correction or contraction. Worse, they're not educating the public nor working with ethical representation in governments, for more eloquent and #sustainable correction.

@2legged He won the leadership on ten democratic socialist policies that he dumped as soon as he was elected leader.

@Nickiquote FWIW, my thought was that someone on the inside needed to convince djt to invade Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. I'm very confident he's in the ignorant half in this poll:https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-09-26/almost-half-of-americans-dont-know-puerto-ricans-are-us-citizens-poll

@DrALJONES ‘As Palantir pitches an increasingly militarized United States, ideologically determined by Silicon-valley tastes—…’ Hence to secure and protect a totalitarian world order of the mob; with no ethics built on financial deregulation, you have the dept. of war, terror, mass surveillance, ai warfare, antitrust monopolies, corporate capture, the embezzlement of public monies, gross inequality, inept and corrupt politicians, racketeering, and the favourite of authoritarian regimes, ethnic cleansing! #FascistTech #Resist #TheGreatCollapse

@DrALJONES @Walrus The 'prevent them from getting more power' is a problem when people already reached billionaire status.I don't think society is realizing this at all. Plus we're dealing with some people who reached that level centuries ago.

@Soozcat Well, you'd no doubt know they have to say something to keep the bourgeoisie - what's left of it - happy...

@openrightsgroup nah Britain needs software from a company that wants to dominate people.

@elduvelle@neuromatch.social I'm in the process of working through this with someone at the moment. I'm not a professional, nor formerly educated, but psychology has been an on and off special interest of mine for at least 20 years. I've read a lot of books and have a fundamental understanding of how the mind works. This particular family member had been watching a lot of YouTube during lock-down, and the algorithms had been sending them to disguised far-right gateways - which I'm sure is a familiar story. They now get their perspective of the world from GBNews (British far-right mainstream TV news channel), and believe their thoughts to be their own - despite just regurgitating what they hear word-for-word. I do wish that I had some actual definitive resource to consult, but I'm basing the process on my understanding of different areas. It's far too much to write about here, but people develop a model of how they see the world around them based on experiences. When it comes to far right propaganda, it is fundamental pillars (of belief) that have been infiltrated and altered (over time through repetition), so that everything built on top is then altered also, but seems 'logical' and rationalized, despite actually being contradictory and adverse to reason. It should be noted that they will defend any abrupt attack on these pillars (with anger, mockery etc), because any alternative truths causes cognitive dissonance. The way to fix it is a reversal of how they got there in the first place, and takes time lightly hammering on pillars until cracks form, making them question details, then themself. This then becomes a rift, a separation, which causes them to start questioning everything built on top of it. A good example of this in the wild is Marjorie Taylor-Green, who we have been watching deprogramme herself in real-time - following one of her belief system pillars being shattered over the Epstiene files cover up. It made her question everything else and brought down more pillars.
