They’re going all in on domestic chip manufacturing, and they are catching up much faster than armchair generals, and even actual generals, predicted.

Isn’t capitalism a blast?

That’s why they spent decades running the “war on terror” angle. To make the working class believe violence against oppressors is never justified.

Meanwhile the government has a monopoly on violence, and uses it whenever the political class, oligarchs, or corporations are threatened.

Member when “no taxation without representation” was a thing people believed in?

Always have been

The fascist mental illness on full display.

The most fucked up part about this story is that hundreds of Israeli fascists literally stormed the military base the perpetrators were being imprisoned — committing domestic terrorism — in defence of the war criminals, demanding their release.

Israel is a fascist state because its founders spent the last century propagandising its citizens and the entire Jewish diaspora. It’s not a surprise the Israeli majority think Palestinians are sub-human and their extermination is justified; that will not change for generations, and only after Israel is globally shunned, militarily neutered, required to return to its original borders, and pay to rebuild all of Palestines infrastructure.

Morals are like religion to the sociopathic political and capitalist class; just another tool you can use to lie, cheat, steal, control, and virtue signal.

The catch is you can only commit crimes if you’re a billion dollar corporation!

And his narcissism is rewarded with extreme wealth and power.

Peak capitalism.

This cunt should be taxed out of existence. She’s a worthless parasite.

I checked my phone’s location settings, and sure enough, Instagram had recently accessed this information.

The average tech-illiterate journo is always going to be dogshit at these “experiments” because they don’t understand how most of the underlying tech works.

Other additions to my feed were harder to explain. … One video featured a woman in a sari frying up South Indian dumplings called kuzhi paniyaram — an obscure dish my mum would make when I was growing up.

Yes, numbnuts. Your precise location, plus a hundred other data points you’re ignorant of, associated the account with your mum. This journo probably doesn’t even know that location access likely means visibility of all the wifi and bluetooth devices in your radius.

If this is late stage cap journalism, in the age of omnipresent surveillance capitalism, it’s time to pack it in. We’re well and truly cooked. Welcome to costco, I love you!

Bait and switch is every tech companies modus operandi. Whether it’s injecting ads, or disabling an entire feature-set, the point is to build your dependence so greatly that they can amp up the value extraction and fuck you as hard as possible, without losing your dollars or attention.

Capitalism… All of it.

There isn’t a single multinational that acts based on ethics or morality.

Then we can virtue signal “never again”, while “donating” bribes to the nazi’s and establishing our new office in nazi-controlled Gaza.

Yup. It’s fucking disgusting — and highlights our narcissism — every time someone tries to reassure us that humanity will likely survive the destruction of the planet.

I don’t care about humanities survival. Look at the beauty we have destroyed, for fucks sake! After doing what we’ve done to this planet, we don’t deserve to survive. We’re lucky hell doesn’t exist.

So banning foreign companies entirely is more ethical than letting them compete and nationalising them when they fail or become too greater risk?

Makes perfect sense!

Humanity is conducting a reckless unplanned terraform of the only place that can sustain us within lightyears, at the very least, and have killed off 70% of the macroscopic biomass in less than a human lifetime, but not to fear… Some nonce cunt on the Internet called you a doomer!

I’m sure billions of mentally-ill talking chimps doing whatever they believe benefits them personally will all magically sort itself out before we destroy enough of the natural processes we depend on.

It’s super surprising America is a fascist dictatorship now, huh? It’s not like there were early indicators or anything…
