All Western “democracies” are following the same trajectory. The psychopathic criminals in charge focus on amplifying the “circus” while they steal all the “bread” for themselves, until capitalism decays into absolute fascism and totalitarianism. Once the labor and military are automated, the bread part no longer matters, and concepts like freedom and democracy — whatever “the people” think or believe — are no longer relevant or consequential.

No. They need life in prison. Hundreds of them.

Why wouldn’t they? They already have lawyers and lobbyists of the economic elite ghost writing most shit they propose. Abdicating the illusion of democracy to some techno fascist AI is the logical next step.

We need to stop them from stealing 1 corporations IP, so tech corporations can continue making monopoly money off the entire human species stolen IP!

It’s only obvious to the 99.9% of humanity who are not oligarchs, so obviously the criminal predators will never have to face consequences for their crimes.

The benefit is that you can keep the same email if/when a provider enshittifies, including proton.

Custom domains are a lot like open sourcing in software; helps keep the SaaS honest. If most customers use a custom domain, the service provider would act based on the knowledge that they could lose most customers easily.

I agree, but our state-capitalist oligarchies barely ever hold corporations liable for their intentional crimes. How are we gonna hold them liable for the unintentional ones?

Yeah, literally 99.999% of products you buy in 2026 fund right wing fascism, and most of it you can’t escape because they own the entire supply chain.

Ain’t capitalism fun?

You mean basic morals and ethics?

Been meaning to try random Jellyfin plugins that sim tv channels.

The second one even does custom ads based on channel content. I would love a plugin that queries random retro ads off the internet. Like you’re watching Star Trek and get an ad for the SNES or Supersoaker when shows have scenes designed around commercials, or between episodes.

This is true across the developed world. Liberalism is fervently pro-capital, and results in a political class who are captured by the wealthiest; who operate on behalf of capital instead of the people, and run the country for-profit, like a business.

All developed economies have been backsliding in quality of life and standard of living for the last 30-60 years in a race to the bottom. The rich have gotten richer while the poor have gotten poorer. The US is just the furthest along the downward spiral, and an example of what will happen everywhere without significant change and resistance.

In the “illusion of democracy, while a capitalist plutocracy owns our political class” sense, which is the only correct one.

Notice how these “Liberals”, even after watching America fall to fascism and their own domestic resurgence, are continuing to implement all the tools necessary for big brother style totalitarianism? How they’re continuing to implement big brother FOR fascism?

It’s almost like they work for the same interests…

If we lived in functional democracies most large multinationals would’ve been split up a long time ago, including Meta.

Instead we live in a grey area of plutocratic corporate dictatorship.

If we don’t exploit our most vulnerable, in their darkest hours, why are we even doing capitalism?

I would also like to know how a large, expensive, relatively cumbersome, vehicle can possibly defend itself against hordes of cheap, mass produced flying explosives. I bet you could build thousands of drones for the millions each of these cost.

Honestly, the last few years of imperialist wars of aggression highlight how a military industrial complex becomes not only a liability in geopolitics and domestic political corruption, but also in war readiness and capability. When you have entire for-profit supply chains structured around delivering specific weapon systems for decades, they become entrenched as more of an implicit profit driver than a matter of national security.

The world always had the right to expel an invading paramilitary terrorist force committing a genocide. They just never put their morals where their virtue signals are, and translate them into actions, unless doing so aligns with their economic or geopolitical interests.

Yeah, that’s gonna create a nazi problem again btw. Fox News was the primary driver of Americas nazi problem, and they exported the mental illness across 14 eyes.

Honestly, doing business with psychopaths and nazis who publicly preach dictatorship and oppose Democracy should be considered treason. It doesn’t matter whether they are foreign or domestic.

Anyone who thinks that is reasonable is either weapons-grade incompetent or a legitimate enemy of the state, unless the state is of course already a capitalist dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”…

Wait… You’re telling me the nazis were the terrorists all along? How the turntables.
