I knew this day was coming now we got ICE. Corporate Democrats will talk about how, oh, you know, this was not the intention, but honestly, who are you fooling? They use compartmentalization and a bunch of mumbo jumbo to bamboozle your ass but every step forward is a step closer to the full fascist state.
They play this game of, "oh, but you have to play it by the rules", but they outpace the rules and you're left behind dealing with the bureaucracy. This is corporatism, which is really just fascism, in the later stages of empire and capitalistic rot.
How are we to have free and fair elections, if money is the number one contributor to a successful political campaign. How are we to say we elected someone to act on our behalf when they are representatives and not a delegates that we can quickly deal with if they go against our will? I was right in the past and I'm reluctant to say what I think because people will want to nail me to a cross like they did before. Isn't that kind of funny how the turd herd works, if you go against what the herd thinks, you'll get ostracized, even though give it some time and y'all will be on the same page. Kinda.
Some people are just out of sync with reality, and if this is the direction we are headed, it is accelerationism, not by our choice, but by design that will take place and eventually we will all be on the same page. So have some patience, because we're all going to get what's coming to us.
What you do overseas will come back to you and me. The colonizer will be colonized.
This is the Imperial Boomerang. Yankee flavored.
the same applies to the surveillance state. and they are openly saying it's for their fascism at this point.
it's happening all over again.
I get the feeling that it never ended
