It’s a system that simply cannot go well for the majority of people even if the top continues their plunder and walks away with everyone else’s chips.
It’s not an ironic bug if the intentions of the features are nefarious.
It should concern everyone that these types of top down authoritarian mentalities are more prevalent as people without a tradition or culture based in western philosophy that has led to what used to be a clear separation of powers, become more prominent even all over the western/European based world.
It will not end well for most of humanity, even in this community, regardless if how much we believe ourselves to be doing good here, or at least not even considering the destabilizing consequences of what we do here.
It’s unfortunate that you would demonstrate such logically compromise in such a blatant manner, ironically, in a post about “bad law”. Ironically, overturning Roe specifically was good law, in that it followed the law the ruling was a blatant violation of.
Let me put it this way, everyone should start working on decentralized archiving tools and retention of information locally about topics they are particularly interested in. I don’t say that out of the blue.
One of the facade parties we can make appeal to one half of society and the other we can make appeal to the other half of the society to make commoners think they are both choosing, having a say, and can feel virtuous about their fake choice opposed to the folks who chose the other faker party.
There can even be meaningless elections where the people can choose between the things the uniparty was going to do anyways like killing people.
Eventually we can just call it The Party and we can be at war with Eurasia, as we always have been.
Things have to cost, even if they wouldn’t have to cost as much if we could stop the psychopaths at the top constantly plundering and raiding the resources of the productive people to maintain their parasitic and decadent lives.
Combined with other factors too numerous to really go into here, we are seeing the emergence of essentially an aristocracy in the USA and Europe, consisting of, as the earlier aristocracy, of the pillagers of their own people and the people of the rest of the world.
However, because Congress and the whole government is inherently illegitimate as is easily objectively measured by its constant, frequent, and persistent failure to abide by the constitution; things like industry capture of government and fraudulent regulatory bodies, is now the norm.
You may be referring to the favorite alternative method for accounting under the inherently fraudulent system that fraudulently calls itself communism, while hating and having nothing at all to do with community, which allocates resources, i.e., means of production, by central committee that sees itself as some kind of contemporary gods on earth.
The means of production are a separate thing and are generally separate from gore they are accounted for and allocated for some purpose.
To simplify, you having the skill, told, and wood to create a bookshelf are the means of production; your method and decision making that lands you on making a bookshelf instead of book ends or something else, is where you could use capitalist or “communist” practices to determine that, Party of which is accounting for the resources and drawing a conclusion as to what to do.
I don’t mean to solely focus on Microsoft, but they are the dominant example in their domain and the biggest example in tech.
As a society it should have never been allowed to even be possible that things like the government, including public schools, become so captured by Microsoft’s disastrous ecosystem. People give Apple some justified flak for lock-in issues, but at least there it feels more like Apple trying to keep the horrors of especially Microsoft and Google at bay … formal dress required for entry.
Neither the dollar as the object of transaction nor the system of accounting (accounting for resource allocation) called capitalism, have any real connection to the underlying drivers. The same problems existed in many other means of transacting (currency) and economic systems (communism notoriously being a sprint towards corruption).
Unfortunately, people have forgotten or have intentionally been misled from realizing the tacit type of self-regulating controls of a system like actual capitalism (you lose money when making bad decisions, you aren’t rewarded by thieving friends in government) and even aristocracy, where you had to maintain a certain balance of relationships even with the peasants in order to prevent being made a foot shorter.
Ironically, the rather tyrannical caste that has we emerged on Mt Davos is forgetting that sometimes the dumb and easily manipulated peasantry the technocrats see themselves as being benevolent demigod leaders of, don’t take so kindly to their shenanigans, with dire consequences for all.
I mean what are you, a bigot, racist, sexism homophobe for questioning the beneficent and glorious, exhaled rule of the Ruling Gods over your life and limitations on what you can do, say, and think? You better. Don’t get any ideas or your gods on Mt Davos will strike you down with ban hammers.
Let’s discuss it over cocktails at the K Street Lobby Bar.
No, guys, it’s fine. This OSS a great thing to have all kinds of diverse problems of all the different cultures from everywhere all at the same time.
It’s intentional in order to create a mysticism about government and military matters to impress the commoners.
There’s even legislation and policy directives to require the government to use and require common language instead of jargon. In typical government action fashion it is of course only effective in a very limited, below threshold manner, but it also cannot affect the people in the private sector so use it to feel important to commoners and project their mediocrity to those in the know.
It’s very much the same kind of behavior as is common in the financial sector to cover and obscure and obfuscated the scheme.
It could be for a couple different reasons and/or a combination of them, but included in those are probably things like distraction from the lies, failure, and collapse in Ukraine or even the “OMG, it’s UFOs” now is to prevent that huge toxic chemical catastrophe in Ohio taking peoples attention. But maybe it’s even just priming people for the minutes of hate to initiate Oceana’s war with Eurasia that we have always been in.
The social engineers in the government constantly misdirect and redirect attention by using their patsies in the media companies, so it’s not like it doesn’t happen. And now we have AI generated propaganda to look forward to an even more efficient psychosis inducing stream of lies.
What I’m more curious about is how otherwise smart people are so easily redirected and played tricks on as if they’re babies, too they point they don’t even realize the magic smoke and mirrors show happening as the ball disappears and reappears in the other hand and the young attractive lady survived being sawed in half.
Boop! The government’s got your nose! What will you do without your nose. Boop! Ok, it put it back. Phew! That was close!
You call it discrimination and I call it theft by the ruling class against its own people to import foreigners that the ruling class can more easily control in order to arrest control away from the native populations that keep insisting on being in control of their own lives.
It is sad that people don’t seem to want to understand that “immigration” is a weapon of abuse by the ruling class to attack and shatter the “will of the people”.
It has really never dawned on anyone that there is something wrong with the situation when the richest and most powerful people … literal lying, murdering, stealing psychopaths … are all cheering on and support “immigration”, as if anything they support will have any kind of positive impact on regular people?
It’s not very sane to believe such lies by abusive psychopaths in the ruling class. The people who start wars, kill millions, and pillage countries … the very same countries they then cheer on “immigration” from … should be trusted on “immigration” any more than they should be trusted???
It is mind boggling to be to what extent people will go to trust their abusers. The same people who are doing this and who are responsible for things like COVID are also the murdering pillagers that destroyed and murdered Iraqis, among all the other death and destruction they reap. Why are people trusting these psychopaths?
It bothers me sometimes that people seem to simply ignore, tolerate, and make excuses for the abuses like some kind of abused wife.
While many people not only bend over backwards to curtail their life in a belief of salvation, the same ruling class that has psychologically abused a certain segment of the population into their new form of religion, jet around in private planes between several of their mansions and from one energy intensive event to another to discuss how the peasants should not be able to use energy As they pile the wealth of the working people who produce the value.
I wish more people had an understanding that we are sliding back into an aristocratic type system by way of a typical trap pattern. Being reliant on electricity and public transportation means you are totally dependent on and can be totally controlled by the ruling class. Have you exalted the virtues of your rulers sufficiently today, peasant? Maybe you do not get to charger your bike and definitely do not get to ride the public transportation system.
People are not shifting away from anything, they’re being herded into a trap and into a system of dependence, immobility, and control.
I won’t go into explaining and outlining exactly why that is for the time being, but suffice it to say that I have personal knowledge of the extremely manipulative industry that “non-profits” are. But I get it, some will not want to believe me, I mean they’re called “non-profits” and profits are bad, right?
The point of my caution is essentially this, what you are trying to avoid by stopping tipping, you will only far undo by essentially making “non-profit” executives and their friends and family rich instead of that money going to your employees.
