'speech' is just what modern king wannabes use to claim they are above anyone else, including a sovereign state's laws. People like Elon, Trump, Putin all want to be above any law or form of responsibility.

I don't know exactly what to call it and I don't want to sound like my agenda is just anti-capitalism. For a brief, 250yr period, humanity (not all, but enough of) valued science and reasoned law as the highest, most advanced expressions of our civilization. The enlightenment age brought about modernity as we know it based on science and liberal law (no kings above the law). Now we've devolved back to every nation basically establishing new oligarchich aristocracies no law can touch (the historic normal), and it's definitely too late to correct course. No untouchable nobilities or kings will save this realm. So yeah, the great filter in my view is about letting elites be accountable to no one, with no interest other than accretion, rule things into the ground. And yeah that's the broad gist of my point about a pretty broad theory. Most think the great filter as an asteroid or nuke. For me it's runaway elitism that probably ends most civilizations which is why there's no one out there.

I believe a mix of runaway elitism + ecological devastation is the Great Filter. We're at our great filter and definitely will not overcome considering the galactic evidence.

you mean the wars started by Trump allies once he had helped them? why are Putin and Netanyahu so close to Trump?

It's easier said than done: make the untouchables pay.

Grim reality is the untouchables will continue to rule with absolute greed while climate change drives us into pockets of extremism where we kill each other.

All this shit is literally straight out of the Putin playbook. Take control of the courts, take control of what is legal, take control of elections. Republicans were always too dumb and incompetent to be anything but pawns of a better organized evil.

which is why we're just gonna retreat into pockets of radicalism where we all kill each other. max profit til then.

I guess you need 'america is willfully losing competitive ground in big industries' spelled out for you.

All you need to know about this subject is that Putin passed full immunity for himself. It was one of the nails on the coffin for modern russia.

Crazy how all those attempts to modernize or educate our workforce to compete gets treated as goverment overreach, they're teaching us the woke mind virus, socialism, blah blah. Then it's the dirty immigrants are taking our jobs.

Americans deserve what's coming to them because they fucking chose it while waving flags.

Tesla's 'board' is like his brother, his mom and Peter Thiel. World is governed by vain, fragile, egomaniacs

Conservatives are just easier to dupe. Their values align more with the goals of our adversaries. I would feel bad for them since the odds are stacked against them. But if they can bitch about their wife or daughter, why can't they bitch about the guy fucking them in the ass?
