The reason we're all feeling like life-ending apocalypse is just around the corner, rather than a welcome correction and decapitation of the ruling class, is because *we were deliberately acculturated into believing that all change, no matter how beneficial, would be catastrophic*.
Rather than change our point of view, neofascists decided that the only way to be sure was to change our *perspective*, thereby making the paralysis self-healing and self-propagating.

None of those people have power without the tech industry. None. Including the orange fuckwad.
Today is rough in this world for so many.
Israel has voted to start exterminating Palestinian prisoners.
I refuse to CW this post.
Jensen Huang of Nvidia
Peter Thiel of Palantir
Mark Zuckerburg of Meta
Larry Ellison of Oracle
Tim Cook of Apple
Jeff Bezos of Amazon
Sundar Pichai of Google
Sam Altman of Open AI
Elon Musk of X(it)
All of these things have contributed and continue to contribute to the downfall of democracy and the murder of innocent people on this planet.
Last RT - I think it's really important to understand why France got a tanker through the Straight today. It's because Macron has repudiated the US and Israel's illegal war and affirmed its recognition of Iranian sovereignty. And that's the angle you just aren't gonna get in the US media because we are DEAD FUCKING SET on pretending Iran just isn't wholly in the right this time, for geopolitical power reasons and nothing more.
Macron said Iran will/should survive this. So they let him through.
"With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A âGUSHERâ FOR THE WORLD???"
I dunno that we need to keep trying to figure out who is "talking Trump into" a ground war in Iran - sounds to me like he's working on talking HIMSELF into a ground war in Iran as we speak.
Also, hope folks going on about abelism are paying attention because that thing were he pretends shit that helps him, is actually a favor to the world? That's narcissism.
In case you were wondering why the only way to dislodge neofascism was a world-historical multicrisis.)
But I digress into my bullshit: my point is that there *are* techs that are better. We don't use them because of bad actors who don't see the same potential for control, power, and profit in them.
So don't freak out yet. Have hope. There are *alternatives*. The Strait of Hormuz is the aorta of the Petrodollar, but the Petrodollar's hegemony is artificial, not natural or crucial.

...unsustainable things are not sustaining.
But for a lot of those unsustainable things, there are readily available, sustainable, cheaper, better options that have been artificially suppressed by bad actors.
Think solar energy until 2015.
Regulatory capture and subsidy abuse under neofascism was essentially the neofascist's innovative replacement of govt-sponsored oligarchy under paleofascism.
Because it has the neofascists' favorite quality: deniability.
