Oil powers the machine and the money people steal from everyone to keep it going

I would never. It most certainly is a fucking nightmare

Woowwww… that’s nuts. I often forget the US is mostly just one big military and the infrastructure to support it.

First that we know of anyway. Either way fuckin awesome

Almost like they don’t really want them stopped… just to look like they’re trying

Yeah, I know, and it’s totally true… I support the message. It just feels like a drop in the ocean compared to the other horrifying outcomes.

Have you read the entire document once? I feel like that’s the minimum to be able to comment on it.

It’s not long and it uses short words so that their base can understand.

Yeah. I was trying my best to not spiral into the worst case.

I think it’s more of a concern that any single one of these steps happens it means completely dismantling modern democracy. The details don’t matter

Don’t wanna be that guy, but this seems pretty far down the list of awful stuff it would bring.

Every entry is written like : We’ll destroy this freedom we don’t like as well as anything else we don’t like. Followed by: We’ll dismantle these other human rights plus anything else we don’t like.

It’s literally “We’re going to do whatever we want and we’re going to make anyone who opposes us an enemy of the state. Thus removing all rights to personhood for those people.”

If they get control, slavery will return to America in less than a couple years.

Sure they’ll be called “Prisoners with jobs.” and instead of “just” black people. It will be all poor people and a bunch of women and queer kids

This plan is a recipe to create a ruling class who trade in the lives over humans. Especially the idiots that vote for them.

Ok so I got a bit ranty… but the thing is. I’m writing this thinking it sounds pretty hyperbolic right? Sounds like I’m blowing it way out of proportion… but I read it and think… NO it’s even worse than that…

Oh duh, yeah. The most obvious example.

This. Clocks like this are for measuring duration in a scientific context.

You’re entire comment is a shit sandwich and you’re a fucking moron…eat that.

Interesting interpretation.

Oligarchy vs the rest of us. It’s happening right where you live too darling.

For society? A smartphone

Yea. Sorry, the conditions are MASSIVELY different. In every conceivable way. Populations, demographics, broken government systems, corruption, info wars being waged by forgien interests, literal trillions of dollars at stake.

Canada is awesome… but it’s a Podunk backwater with barely the population of a single state and a much much much more homogeneous population (especially in the 90s)

Everyone (large governments) on the planet is fighting over control of America. If Trump wins, the global fascist agenda kicks off and the whole planet goes with it. This is a historical inflection point.

The PCs loosing just meant they created new parties and came back a few years later. They all stayed rich and white.

Certainly in Lemmy …

Step 0 : don’t be poor, or you will starve to death on the street.

I wouldn’t hold out much hope. Games Workshop was a nightmare to work with in the past. Doubley more now that they’re owned primarily by BlackRock and investment banks.

If Netflix can totally fuck up the literal gimmie that was the Witcher…
