Charlie Kirk strat for the afterlife I see.

Yes exactly, they're making it very clear they won't stop until forced to.

Fuck eh, guess the state has absolute power over everybody within its grasp and all those periods of revolt and revolution were fake news.

Straight up, it would be mortally dangerous for federal US reps to bailout tech. The industry is wildly unpopular, has openly threatened labourers with forced redundancy, polluted and\or poisoned vulnerable communities, and houses some of the most famous billionaires in the country. This is not an industry that thousands of blue-collar workers depend on for wages and produces products that people need to survive. Also, the US state is subject to the most open resistance and condemnation it has had since the Civil Rights Era (even privileged groups find the erasure of wealth disparity appealing now too).

Seriously, I think if this were to happen, it would result in violent retaliation.

Sure.

Very important to mention under something like this that fascism in the US is not over if this administration fails. These events have been very convenient for the imperatives of capital as MAGA has absorbed the American imagination of what a contemporary Nazi looks like. Remember, most opposition to this admin has come from state-level reps and courts, there is a good reason federal Dems have been cooperative. Fascism in the US will sustain itself on the supposed legitimacy of the Democratic Party. As always, liberals are the real threat and they will adopt fascist policies and tactics if they feel threatened, and they have loudly admitted for years that they are terrified at the popularity of socialism and decolonialism in the twenty-first century.

Consumers are not the main driver of profit, speculative value is. Microsoft knows that Windows is guaranteed to be on the majority of PC's, which means they can afford to implement hostile features that increase the speculative value on data collection and AI investment.

These are evil companies, but I am curious what metric you're using to say one is worse than the other when their objectives and methods are similar.

Lookit that, ephebophile strat went mainstream.

It actually makes more sense tbh. Being queer is far worse to fascists than being a pedophile rapist. This is especially damning when the person he sucked off is prominent in the conspiracy theories he depended on for the past decade.

Jesus god and more pre-rendered graphics.
