Can someone tell me how republicans and conservatives are not terrorists?

Like, legitimately, how do they not cause massive amounts of harm and instill terror in large groups of people?

Gotta love how it takes this long, and only when people are individually and materially affected do they finally start go recognize all the failings we’ve been calling out since before the first term.

It really irks me how, like in MTG’s recent speech at the republican think tank about how she is breaking with MAGA, she names other “brave” folks who spoke out…like Carl Tucker and Candace Owens.

What about the entire left wing? The people that are, consistently, “correct too soon?”

I’d keep an eye out. They also “backed off” including AI in Notepad and “other places it didn’t make sense.”

Turns out that just meant removing the Copilot branding and calling the AI features “Writing Tools.”

Or are they just going to rename it “advanced features” like they did with notepad and others?

I fewl like it’s a national security risk to not have energy independence from fossil fuels as a consumable. My gas price says so. And the coming food and plastics shortages that are on the way as well.

If it gets us to kick fossil fuels, that’d be great imo. Remove the oil subsidies! Ya’ll wanted to cut government spending, right?

I agree. I imagine he may have bought it before Elon went crazy too, when it was hyped up and one of very few options. We don’t know though.

And, I mean, he’s why I’m here now and why I have GrapheneOS on my phone and why I’m looking into even starting some local activist groups focused on data privacy and why I’m hosting some op sec parties with my friends to teach them more about all the FOSS and privacy focused apps and software I’m learning about.

To err is to be human. If anything, I’d want to see him use the audience to jailbreak a Tesla and build and open source OS to push to it to strip the tracking from it. Given that there’s an even harder push now to include eye tracking, breath tracking, heart rate tracking, and more as standard in 2027 cars, that feels pretty useful to me.

That’s one of the scary things about all this “age verification” bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in “protecting minors” from “adult content” those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.

It’s scary to think about how the next generations are essentially being groomed to believe that these invasive applications and surveillance are just normal. But that’s the goal of the big tech oligarchs.

Same reason they try and say it’s only criminals that want to protect their privacy.

Not that they would ever get punished, but if they did, it should be based on a percentage of their net worth. None of this “oh, 200 billion annually? Please pay your $100 fine”
