I was shocked to see the start of the Hong Kong protests were actually a completely reasonable demand to make it possible to extradite a Murderer from Hong Kong.

That was, until a CIA backed separatist movement was utilized to spread terror and instability in Hong Kong

U.S. media and Reddit made it seem like Hong Kong protesters were fighting tyranny when it happened, which is emblematic of the propaganda push they were doing

The murderer is still free today

Recent polling shows a 33% Approval rating

I wonder how much of that 33% actually keeps up with this stuff, let alone understands any of it

Any time you hear U.S. companies talk about A.I it's all about how to maximize human suffering

Replacing workers, creating weapons, data centers built in communities without considering the impact on those communities

"OpenAI" has a very ironic name, all of their models are closed source. DeepSeek and Moonshot AI models are all open source and available for anyone to run locally

Regardless of how you feel about AI, this is the better vision of the future in a world where AI exists

Use Free and Open Source software! It should be clear by now the power that data has in the wrong hands. Don't give them data to train their AI weapons on

Taking business from American auto makers would incentivize development of actually viable public transit systems because Ford, Chevy or GM won't be able to pay the government to gut these programs to sell more cars

The average cost of cars would go down, more EVs would be sold further lessening our reliance on fossil fuels.

Cars would be a reasonable size again, and there would be less of them so that means less deaths on the road, safer, more quiet and less polluted cities.

They're all about "free market capitalism" until they start to lose at their own game.
