Recall also need to be universal, and vacancies not appointed.

Now we're all still property, but must find a way to feed, clothe, home ourselves and get to our mostly underpaid jobs. It's fine if it's extralegal, until we're caught or turned in.

Maybe I'm to clinical but I think this means the petty bourgeois is a safe bet for the ruler class. That needs to change.

Meanwhile in America, people don't bat an eye at handing over RealID for the most minor purchases (not to mention SIM cards), which is then scanned into a government-connected database, backdoored tech and Amazon Ring.

Could've used the money for supplies and lunches for the kids.

Huh. I came specifically to say "Defund. Them."

I think oligarchy is putting it extremely kindly. Can we please just acknowledge we are a naked kleptocracy now?

If she did this and raised taxes on corporate and individual wealthy, it would be a win of historical proportions.

A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.

Most people in the security industries that I've ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it's not usually for nefarious reasons.

I really like his channel, and he's pretty accurate.
