Some would argue that’s the entire purpose of dragnet mass surveillance and surveillance capitalism — to have multiple layers of leverage over every individual.

America is a corporation, masquerading as a democracy, whose sole goal is generating profit. Israel’s genocide is a small part of a greater holy war which is extremely profitable.
Desert Storm 2.0 netted the MIC trillions (with a capital T) of dollars in profits, and most of that was built on lies. Another one is financially… irresistible. You think the devils in skin-suits are gonna let a little genocide get in their way? There is literally nothing more important in the universe to them, than the profits they will make from this.
Because there is no war but the class war. Always has been.
Fascism always hurts itself in its confusion, along with everyone it touches, because it’s a mental illness.
The Times called the corresponding images of the patients too graphic to publish. “I personally wish that Americans could see more of what it looks like when a child is shot in the head, when a child is flayed open by bombs,” says Sidhwa. “I think it would make us think a little bit more about what we do in the world.”
“democracy dies in darkness”, yet there is seemingly no journalists with any integrity, capable of showing the world the reality of the war machine. “Out of sight, out of mind” enables war and genocide.
“I will have you know I’m a self made man, just like my millionaire father and his millionaire father before him”
FTFY
Nothing kills an empire quite like a kleptocracy.
Until someone hacks your brain, or just puts a keyboard in front of you and lets the chip do its thing without your consent.
A solid 8 or 9 months beyond acceptable, but the only time it’s too late to stop arming genocidal regimes is after their goal is complete.
With 700 million bots conducting marketing and psychological warfare ops it is!
Intercepting the shipment, lining the interior of with some explosive (some putty that could hug all open space, or swapping out the batteries with custom ones that are half filled, etc), then wiring up a microchip that triggers when a specific code of 1’s & 0’s is received, or perhaps audio signal.
We’re talking about a state secret police here. There is no law or order. There is no “democracy”. They have billions of dollars in funding, and a mandate to do whatever they want with essentially zero consequences.
What I find most concerning is that a large number of people/journalists considered it plausible to blow up a (edit: stock standard) pager remotely via some hack or zero day.
The war crimes are expected.
When there are zero consequences for war crimes, the “rules based” law and order we virtue signal is completely meaningless.
Just plutocracies, doing plutocratic things, because they’re plutocracies.
This is just one of countless examples that we live in capitalist plutocracies — ruled by corporations and the richest family dynasties who make up their majority shareholders — masquerading as “democracies”. Sure, you can vote, but your only options are pre-approved.
When the people causing genocide, war, and ecocide are untouchable, their entire rule of law is invalid.
It’s like saying “Republican party working directly with Fox News, Breitbart, and OANN to spread disinformation”
Yeah … No shit!
This kind of protest only works if the political class possess empathy, instead of being the most corrupt and narcissistic puppets the plutocracy can muster.
If that’s the case then the Cartels already elect/make most of the politicians — whom select the judges — so there’s not really much of a difference, is there?
I hope Ukraine drone operators drop the NK soldiers Korean language propaganda and give them plenty of chances to surrender. I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t even been briefed on drone warfare; just cannon fodder for dictators. I doubt they have any context for why they’re there.
