laws are just excuses for the men with guns. there's plenty of social cohesion and harmony you can have without men with guns, but if you want laws to be actual things, you need to keep up on the men with guns thing. the democratic party will never deploy them against other elites. liberalism, a law based form of social cohesion, will not save you when someone it will not target decides to not obey the laws that were designed to benefit it.

Liberalism will not save you. try something else.

and does that word mean anything in this context?

sparing so many nazis the noose was kind of a huge mistake. re-wilding huge portions of germany would have been the move to try and cut out this social cancer. we transplanted that shit into every world power after the war.

there's not even a grain of truth here; they thought he word 'transgenic' meant remotely the same thing as 'transgender'. or thought nobody would check.

but of course; the poor are not.

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn't actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don't even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there's no alternative.

'scans the front page, doesn't buy the paper'. right. that's the joke. that it's for someone important enough for their death to make the front page, which is visible without buying the paper.

fascists really love LLM's. like ridiculously in love with them. it's where all their 'art' comes from. it's made of the shallow aesthetics with no interiority they love so much. plus it doesn't really require articulating your desires much, or having artists.

these short boycotts won't fuck them on dollars, but there is a potential benefit: just in time economics and these long slow prediction-powered supply chains cannot handle this shit.

fascism must always create more outsiders, must always create more enemies to keep control, to keep things directed.

remember, fascism appropriates genuine upset and the fact that to the privileged, equality feels like persecution. it steers itself by creating enemies to hate. remember: people's lives are genuinely fucking miserable. there is dystopian shit happening. and all of that is really complicated, and if people stopped to think about it for five minutes, they would pull a 1789.

so they just keep adding more enemies, and more derangements like what the qanons call 'baking' but hitler just said was the way everyone should read books, until they live in a totally unhinged fantasy world, and any method of social control must engage with the fantasy.

tl;dr: sacrificing external allies to fuel a persecution complex, keep control, entrench the madness, keep attention off the american elites that were at least rhetorically some of the initial targets.

can someone explain to me the difference between corporate and government censorship, when corporations and the government are definitely fucking?
