@DoomsdaysCW The Republicans and the Conservatives have also weaponised stupidity; with some help from the Democrats and Labour. The result is the total shit storm which the people of both Nations now have to try and survive. And who would have thought, never again? #TheRiseOfTheUltras #MobRule #DeathCamps #NeoNazis #FascistCults #DemocracyAbused #Nihilism #EcocideEmpires #Stupidity #NeverAgain #TheFederation #RepublicSovereignty

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

We […] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other. I understand perfectly that such an attitude of moderation is apt to be misunderstood when passions are greatly excited and when victory is apt to rest with the extremists on one side or the other; yet I think it is in the long run the only wise attitude.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Letter (1899, Spring) to Senator Thomas Platt (R-NY)

U.S. paratroopers to be deployed appears likely. Who then will pay for the debt that has a limit, if forcing the people to overthrow their corrupt governments is the result? #EconomicJustice #FairTrade #MobRule #Occupation #WW3 https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/us-paratroopers-standby-tensions-iran-1788034

The TESCREAL bundle: Eugenics and the promise of utopia through artificial general intelligence | First Monday https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/13636
Hence a decentralised consensus; is the Trojan Horse, as tech promises ideological freedom, but ideology is actually used to cancel real freedom; any ethically sustainable morality. Freedom ends with deregulated markets by giving political power, as in the control of capital to monopolies antitrust and nihilistic programme of corporate sovereignty. Empire’s ideology of populist death cults only recognises the democracy of mob rule! #TESCREAL #MobRule #Ideology #Decentralisation #Consensus #AlternativeDemocracies #AGI

Fascists are chauvinists, racists, sexists and ableist because they know that the discriminated, disenfranchised and dispossessed are the only ones that can end their death cults. Cooperation and resistance is the only way to end their mob reign, extreme injustice, inequality and ultra violence. Letting Empire’s fascists maintain the corporate sovereignty of their totalitarian world order will end all hope of an ethically sustainable morality. Their end is a certainty, but not the possibility of renewal and rebirth! #EthicalFreedom #UnethicalFreedom #NoFreedomWithCorporateSovereignty #TheRiseOfNeoFascism #EcocideEmpire #OilAndGasRacketeering #MobRule #RepublicSovereignty #TheFederation

@Free_Press What deal did Trump make with Putin? Guessing it’s Iran for Ukraine and that is why Trump wants Greenland; to keep the military advantage. Yet ending NATO and destroying the peace in the Arab countries will not end well for anyone. #PlayingRisk #MobRule #EcocideEmpire

A quotation from Shakespeare

Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silent by your brawl,
And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 55ff (c. 1592)

@rose_alibi Surveillance is the basis of fascist tech and our captivity to its corporate sovereignty. The unimagined consequences of Nations betting on its deregulated markets fuels their ruin. Unsustainable growth has no ethics as there are no rules to mob rule, when you give your wealth and power to those who ‘take no responsibility’ for their savage cults. It’s not two wrongs don’t make a right. With the fascists totalitarian world order, it’s every wrong is a right if in service of their confederacy! #EmpiresEnd #ICEMelts #WorldRevolution #Ruins #EmpiresAreFascist #EcocideEmpire #TheConsequencesOfStupidity #MobRule #TheAbductionOfDemocracy
