Probably trained AI on trump's deranged tweets. No sane man can read his full tweets or make tweets like trump without feeling schizo and brain being smoothed out

Damn this is interesting

I disagree. My opinion is that the technology did change. It just became more efficient at doing its job (killing people, surveillance, and mass propaganda).

The internet was supposed to be a gateway of information, but now it's the largest propaganda network. Free speech is censored by closed source algorithms and the entire internet infrastructure is controlled and owned by the 1%.

We are more isolated compared to before, class solidarity is almost nonexistent, and its easier to identify people now vs before due to being interconnected real time.

I can go more on and on but the tldr is that technology has made it easier and faster to crush dissent

I guess you could put it that way. For most general applications, I prefer to use flatpak over pacman. Pacman and arch's repos to me are still very confusing over other package managers (dnf, apt, etc)

It's an uphill battle, but it's better to start early than late.

Unlike before, the rich now have private armies, lobbying groups, and mass surveillance networks while we peasants own nothing. Plus, the pot is slowly boiled.

The alternative was just another corporate democrat who couldn't keep his marbles straight and was switched out at the very last minute to an unpopular corporate democrat. The DNC fucked themselves over on purpose.

But yea, it still boggles me how Trump won (twice)

I dunno. It feels like copium/ hopium to me.

I mean it's great and all that people are protesting and getting organized but I don't feel like it matters much if it just lasts for 1 day every 3-4 months as it doesn't disrupt anything when people are just chanting boos.

It feels like the recent protests are more of a symbolic ritual / public vent and that for this protest to be successful, there has to be a main body organizing it (like the black panthers or martin Luther king in the 1900s).

15% eror of 8M. I was assuming a 15% tolerance in observation not total population

15% of 8M. I'm assuming a 15% err in observation not 15% of population

Ah whoops. My bad

From a quick google search, USA population is ~341,784,857 as of July 1, 2025. 8M +-15% margin of error gives like ~2% of the population.
