I view VR adoption the same as IoT and smart home adoption; the greed and narcissism of capitalism killed the markets before they could even be established.

Just like I will never buy a monitor or TV locked to a specific corporation, I will never buy a VR headset that is not interoperable with any computer; especially one that requires an account, data harvesting or internet connection to operate.

Why do you think I’m here? If American antifascists fail to remove the cancer, it will destroy the lives of millions/billions abroad. Whether or not fascist tyranny appears in my country/city is mostly dependent on whether or not American antifascists overthrow American fascists, including oligarch operatives like Thiel and Musk. Palantir is an integral part of the fascism American corporations/oligarchs are exporting, along with most intelligence/surveillance tech, economics, politics, big tech, media, and social media.

How do YOU propose foreigners help? I’ve already shifted my investments and purchases away from American corpos and USD. I’ve already canceled all subs and transitioned as much away from big tech as I can at this stage. I’ve already donated hundreds to Ukraine. I already spent a large chunk of my life refuting both fascists and anti-fascists with stats, facts, and logic on social media. I realised that none of it mattered many years ago, because the fascist oligarchy own the networks and algorithms.

The hardest part has been convincing American “liberals” that they aren’t in the big club they think they are, and that the “moderate whites” — neoliberals and “traditional” conservatives — will not protect or defend them from fascism, just like MLK documented over 60 years ago.

I’m not American; just a foreign ally who would’ve already bought a gun and learned how to use it a decade ago, if I were American, because MAGA has been a fascist evangelical mental illness fuelled by billionaire propaganda the entire god damn time.

But maybe organise protests outside the homes of every Republican politician 24/7? Don’t let them sleep and make them feel the terror they are bringing to the people?

Maybe spend your time building lists of who the fascists are, where they live, and how high-profile they are? Maybe study methods of guerrilla warfare and insurgency? Maybe join local antifascist militias and learn how to securely communicate, including in case of when the fascists nuke the internet and energy grid?

Maybe spend your time preparing for when the mass murder starts? Have a plan of meaningful resistance, then execute it if/when all else fails.

Because I can tell you right now, the tens of millions of mentally ill Americans are impossible to de programme. They’ve chosen fascism, and they won’t abandon it without being brought to their knees. Trying to reason with insanity is nothing more than wasting your breath.

"Let’s point out the hypocrisy of the fascists for the thousandth time. Then, we’ll use logic to explain reality to those who have rejected logic for a decade. Then, we’ll appeal to the virtues, morality, and ethics of those who have never once displayed any of those traits.

That’ll surely stop the fascist coup in its final hour."

— American “liberals”

I swear, at this point it’s hard to tell who is more brainwashed and mentally ill. The fascists who reject reality, or the antifascists who reject reality; refusing to accept that the fascists are too mentally ill to be reasoned with.

We got capitalism. This is always how it was gonna turn out when you reward the most sociopathic and morally bankrupt criminals with wealth and power; as long as they act behind the liability shield of a corporation, and do it for-profit.

If you steal 100k you go to prison for years. If you steal 100k from your employees via wage theft you’ll probably only have to pay back a fraction of it and won’t face any criminal charges. There are hundreds of examples the world over of corporations engaging in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable and the criminals responsible facing little more than a public shaming for a news cycle; walking away scott-free with a kings ransom.

Tobacco companies wilfully engaged in a criminal conspiracy to lie and endanger public health — for decades — killing millions of people. Everyone involved should have spent the rest of their lives in prison, and been stripped of all their wealth. Same thing happened with lead and asbestos.

The way we’ve allowed, normalised, and accepted corporate criminals prospering for their psychopathy and narcissism, we deserve dystopia.

America is an example of the narcissism and psychopathy that extreme wealth creates, and capitalism rewards, rotting a society to its core.

It’s most prevalent in America because it has the highest wealth inequality, and the most religiously indoctrinated poorly educated population, but the ultra wealthy tend to be narcissists everywhere; especially those born into extreme wealth, like Trump.

The entire Republican party are Nazis, and many thousands of 0.01% donors like Musk, Thiel, etc.

One of the core reasons I’m positive the US is irredeemably cooked is that “liberals” continue to believe that the rule of law applies to a fascist oligarchy who has ignored and violated the greatest laws of the land; not just recently, but for most of their lives.

The 50+ year corporate-fascist-alliance coup is in it’s final hours, yet still. Remember, the Democrats didn’t release the Epstein files either, because they’re financed by the same sociopathic/psychopathic pedophile elite.

That should have been the clearest indicator for the world to divest and distance themselves from America… Tens of millions of Americans were already so deeply mentally-ill from propaganda that they displayed religious levels of devotion to an openly demented rapist sociopath.

Most of the words ultra-wealthy are verifiably sociopathic. Capitalism literally rewards those who posses the least empathy, the most.

Yeah. They literally steal public money to enrich their cronies. It’s been a kleptocracy the entire time.

Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.

The only correct response is “WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES”, then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they’ve had full control.

The goal should be to implode America’s domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.

But… all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they’ll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.

I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he’s been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain’t in it.

Eh. I don’t use bsky, and think most current ICE staff should be imprisoned for terrorism for the rest of their lives, but I don’t want any communications services to decide which entities should and shouldn’t be verified. That’s how you end up with power-tripping mods, propaganda bubbles, and censorship (exactly what fascists are doing with X, fb, tiktok, etc).

The goal should be an open protocol where users/orgs can sign messages cryptographically (like PGP) and every other user can decide which users, feeds, or algos they subscribe to without censorship. Like, if I subscribe to my friends and family (trusted sources), or friends of friends, I don’t want any form of moderation between them and me, but the freedom to sub to moderated topics is also necessary for public (untrusted sources) feeds/comms.

It’s all a performance. These people — most of them anyway — are not stupid. They’re criminally corrupt sociopaths and psychopaths. They know their fascist oligarch financiers want Greenland to serve as their beta feudalist dictatorship.

Every single one of them is a part of the nazi regime.

I do not support the government killing civilians under any circumstances, but I sure do support civilians killing their criminally corrupt governments.

Fascism is what you get when the people in power can commit crimes without fearing for their freedom or lives.

As the average is dumb, let me be clear… No moral or ethical person should support violence or murder in a society of LEGITIMATE laws and justice systems that are applied EQUALLY (nobody is above the law; regardless of wealth, status, position, optics or power). If your goal is retribution, vengeance, pain or suffering then it is not a just or moral stance. The entire point in a rule of law is threat reduction and risk mitigation, to enable a prosperous & just society FOR EVERYONE. It is everyone’s duty to oppose unjust laws, and the systems that enable and protect them; especially predators of the weak and vulnerable (e.g. pedophiles).

We never could have known the nazis would turn out to be nazis.

Land of the weak

Home of the slave

Late stage capitalism is fascism. This isn’t just military or intelligence capitalists. The only difference between them, fossil fuel, media, pharma, big tech, or any other, oligarchs is the primary source of wealth. The ultra rich are all diversified and invested in each other. Most board members are split across multiple corporations; sometimes dozens. The vast majority of the ultra rich use their wealth for corruption, coercion and manipulation; use their wealth to accelerate wealth extraction from the majority, and the destruction of the working class.

This is one where the whole world should intervene. The mass murder of civilians should always equal the end of any regime.
