    The war is for the human mind and we just invented the equivalent of the nuclear bomb. AI is going to be used to manipulate people on a scale we can’t even fathom.

    We are at war and the tech bros found the cheat code. We are really fucked because no one is even mentioning what is really going on.

      I have no qualms about gun control, because I am not a person who should own a gun. I’m bipolar and medicated. That doesn’t mean I’m cured, and it doesn’t mean I won’t ever have a relapse into an uber manic phase where I could hurt someone else, or a depressive phase where I turn the gun on myself. I’m not going to lie, the current state of things make me WANT to own a gun, but I am just going to have to find my own way to help with the resistance to Trump and Fascism that doesn’t involve firearms. There are other ways to make a difference. That being said, any democrat that can legally obtain a firearm absolutely should.

    NGL, the US being at war with itself might be the only way for the global South to escape its grasp, and for the MIL to collapse. Most of the world can only cheer for the potential American implosion…

      1. dot ml is that way
      2. Much like with Russia and China: While there may or may not be arguments towards the value of a massive power vacuum, no sane person should want a civil war in a country with more nukes than some small nations have people.

        Mmm. Perhaps I was too naive and hopeful. If only there was a way to stop Western imperialism (I mean, Gaza is undeniable because its livestreamed!). America collapsing would certainly do much for the cause, but yeah, they’re monkeys with machine guns pointed at everyone including themselves. Ayayaya, what a situation everyone else sadly finds themselves in.

        Also, I got banned from .ml cause I’m too woke! 😂

        what you’re missing here is that the US has led a hidden civil war since its inception. every time they tell the kids to salute to the flag and sit and listen, instead of speaking their mind, they’re indoctrinating children and going against the will of the people, it’s already civil war. this is just another step, but one that brings us closer to an escape.

      It is already happening with no civil war required.

      Though not without needless death of a lot of USians, so you got that right.

      Try cutting a surfer off on a wave they had the inside on or crowding their local spot with tourists and see how militant things get. For real though, everyone thinks surfers are chill, but that’s skateboarders. Surfers no chill

      We’ve trained by watching undercover videos of how livestock is treated. We know what torture is. What goes around, comes around, right?

      Leave the Anesthesia behind, fellas! We won’t be using it.

    Truth be told, they’ve really done very little in LA side from making people nervous. Plus they only really did downtown; this cartoon acts like the military/feds even know the valley exists lol
