So all of the revolutions I’ve read about were all made up?

I really don’t care if China gets my data. They don’t have any jurisdiction over me. I’m concerned about domestic surveillance.

Yep. The social contract has been destroyed. Time to stop holding up our end of it.

What are you suggesting? That Congress didn’t force TikTok to hand over control is US servers years ago? You didn’t see it in the news at the time, or you just don’t believe it?

Or do you think China has been censoring on behalf of the state dept?

China already doesn’t control US TikTok servers.

Incorrect. Control of US TikTok servers was handed over years ago. The State Department has been actively censoring content on the platform, but I guess they’re having trouble keeping up.

Didn’t call you an idiot. Just propagandized.

So then expand on your comment about burning systems down without a replacement. What systems do you believe will cease to function without a layer of financial class to soak up the profits?

Sounds just like a Cuban expat pining over their lost family plantation.

I hope there’s a copycat to reinforce the lesson very soon, or they’ll write this off as a one off.

They couldn’t even hunker down in their mansions for two weeks of Covid lockdown.

They like to fantasize about it, but the reality of living like that will hit them fast.

‘We have to wait for elections to attempt to fix anything’ is just something we’ve been brainwashed to believe.

Enough people deciding they want change immediately makes it happen. Especially when those at the reigns fear immediate backlash.

While still jailing those who made the decisions and performed the illegal actions.

Then hopefully someone shows security details and armored cars are easily taken care of with homemade devices.

You are absolutely defending them. You’re defending them from individual accountability for their part in mass murder and suffering. As if them working to spread out the blame erases individual accountability.

And you comparing this monster to victims of police violence and genocide is fucking disgusting and shameful. The ‘reverse victim and offender’ piece of DARVO.

It sounds like you still haven’t figured out how to square that circle.

You’ve been propagandized to hell. Both in defense of systemic violence, and the belief that these systems would cease to exist without a financial class to absorb profit from them.

You need to wake the fuck up.

After digesting your comment some more, I’m thinking it’s either extreme boot licking by someone profoundly propagandized, or you were projecting and feeling your own moral hall pass being challenged.

Which is it? Have you been giving yourself a pass for a morally reprehensible career of indirect harm?

Hiding behind a desk and ordering others to commit your crimes for you does not make them any less disgusting. Not for Brian Thompson. Not for Netanyahu. No one. We will not give anyone a pass for murdering people indirectly.

Is his family going to return the blood money?

That’s already happening, specifically because the US exists. De-escalation is more likely, when the US is no longer funding and training terrorists.

All classics, but The Expanse has them beat.

How about just making the public transit free to use? Would be cheaper than staffing and technology to stop fare evasion.
