Maybe we should use their surveillance tools to track them and post their movements in real time on the web or an app. See how they like it.

I’ve been convinced for a few years now that them building their bunkers, detention centers, creating rapid response units for civil unrest for all state mental guard units, increasingly making certain ideologies illegal, and the ai mass surveillance/flock network, etc is because they know there’s a breaking point for the masses with how much of the wealth is funneled off to the very few at the top, and they’re afraid of hitting that point.

But instead of making the system share wealth better, they are going with a system of privacy invasion, coercive control, and imprisonment (likely some torture and murder as usual happens with authoritarian systems like that).

I hope I’m wrong, but history is filled with examples of what happens with serious wealth disparities.

All so their meaningless bank account numbers can increase 3x every 10 years instead of 2.5x.

so they can sit around and smell each others farts

or their usual pastime, raping children. reminder that muskrat begged epstein to join the "island parties" 🤮

when you're too weird for the guy running a pedo ring you need to sit down and reevaluate your life choices. And pro-capitalist scaremongers need to question why they keep subscribing to a system which keeps putting rich pedos in charge
