Seriously, secede. The Trump administration is already playing the state game, disappearing people well outside of the resident's state jurisdiction. The Civil War wasn't about secession, it was about slavery, and if people don't realize that now that the roles are switched, slavery is soon going to make a come back - not just with people with the wrong skin color, but for people with the wrong political ideologies (and yes, slavery in the US was never outlawed, just reframed under the purview of private prisons).

Was the Civil War fought because of secession, or was it fought because of slavery? This questions isn't rhetorical, because Americans are answering right now, and the appeasement towards a Project 2025 Dark Enlightenment technate administration with an authoritarian lifetime president from all states isn't making the answer look too good.

States are letting this happen by letting hostile states who give fuck all about the constitution, just like the president, free reign in their state. The first thing that people need to realize is that the US no longer exists, not without its constitution. So why are states so willing to let these foreign agents from foreign states still dreaming of the slave owner era in?

There's always that comeback from the group of investors who think "NOW it has reached the lowest point, buy buy buy!"

The stock market is generally horrible, it is largely dictated purely by investors and the stocks themselves have no relation to value lest you specifically go looking for stocks that return dividends or provide voting share. If you invest looking at how a company is going to perform, you are going to lose, you need to look at how investors are going to invest. Investing has always largely been about "meme stocks", it's just that the name stuck when astroturfing stock investment hit social networks en masse.

The answer depends on the responsibilities you have.

They are already an oligarchy, they are paving the way for an authoritarian dictatorship now.

It's not, it's not having to do the math or the remembering. The brain is a muscle, when you have your phone doing all the hard work it doesn't need to be as buff. LLMs will worsen this problem even more. Microplastics? Maybe single digit consequences.

Expect reddit comments to get removed without notice, users to sporadically get banned here and there, while that uptick continues. Reddit has been pretty good at this for years, in the sense of controlling the narrative without raising any obvious flags. The only thing that's surprising is that they are no longer treating Reddit as damage control, but just another social network to control. I guess when the authoritarianism is as overt as it currently is, there's no longer any reason to hide the manipulation as it becomes a liability to allow the already controlled narratives to persist.

The timestamp in the video is basically an extension of this claim, back from January: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/jan/21/social-media/trump-didnt-admit-to-rigging-the-election-during-h/

This is wrong. He's just following the narrative that he has already made previously, that he's only able to be there because "Biden rigged the election" when he was ranting he was not going to be able to be there, and that it is only because he was able to win after "Biden's rigged election" that he is able to be there. Upvote this and perpetuate this if you want to easily be shot down as a hoax perpetuator.

Sincerely, A guy who literally believes Trump going to shift the US into an authoritarian dictatorship during this mandate.

Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.

Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn't want their feelings to be hurt!

State of the world in a nutshell.

The fact is, banning X is free political points. The moment a country does it, it will domino into other countries doing it as well, and they will be seen as having been the leader and first of the movement. They should make sure users know of the federated alternatives before they do so, though.

"Transgenic sounds pretty close to transgender, and our base is full of idiots - what if we say they are transgender mice and then do that thing where we double down and laugh at the replies of our critics to get more publicity because all our base cares about is the mob mentality of joining in on the circlejerk of acting better than them even though there's no substance to back it up?"

It can, it just isn't going to be as good. Fortunately for the EU, most of that intelligence was only useful for soft power covert diplomacy, which Trump has thrown into the garbage.
