God bless the United States of authoritarianism

/s

America is fuckity fuck fucked. Enjoy Americans, this is what you voted for: fascism and tax breaks for billionaires.

It's never going to stay limited to the US. Palantir will guaranteed be used by other governments outsourcing their tyranny.

Just thinking of all the value for the shareholders makes me shudder with ecstasy 😍

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

For the next quarter at least.

An overfunded undisciplined paramilitary of degenerates that couldn't make it through police academy, what could go wrong?

You'll soon start seeing huge investment in trains, and their time-table as well.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

It's absolutely fucked that this could be how trains and rail-lines get reinvigorated.

My pride flag will still fly. I will still protest. But I will now answer the door, chain bolted, and 9mm pointed through the door.

Peacefully polite protesting should do the trick. You democrats reading my comment have any thoughts on the Second Amendment now? (Im a socialist and own guns and am not trolling, just want to genuinely ask what a solution is to this)

As much as I hate the idea of having guns just all around the place in society, I think at this point I'd have gotten one myself if I didn't think I was more likely to kill myself with it than actually do anything useful.

I haven't done it yet. But for me it doesn't make sense to do it with a gun.

The interesting thing is that the US of today isn't a historical parallel with Nazi Germany.

The US has 300,000,000 guns (among other things) in civilian hands.

I don't think it's going to be an uneventful 10-20 years as this round of fascism works its way through the American system.

It's Orwellian Black Mirror shit!

We’ve got our Stasi, now.

Just put everyone in a labor camp and make North Korea look like a joke I guess.
