- Comment on Meta could take a $7 billion hit this year because of Trump's tough China tariffs 21 hours ago:
Don’t get fooled by the oligarch-owned media. The wealthiest individuals will benefit the most.
Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state (e.g. state-capitalism, like China). The next few years will likely see the largest transfer of wealth in history, and the S&P 500 will consolidate from an ownership of 200 separate conglomerates to 20-50 (example only. not real figures).
- Comment on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome 1 day ago:
Like you said, sketchy OS, that is probably less performant than Linux and may not get proper security updates.
- Comment on Security without submarines: the military strategy Australia should pursue instead of AUKUS 2 days ago:
No doubt… But relying on subs, built by a criminally corrupt fascist state, who has already shown that they will abandon or turn on allies at any time, is the dumbest scenario to entertain.
Our agreements shouldn’t completely abandon the US, but they should be kept at arms length, and the possibility that the US could be the invading force should not be neglected.
- Comment on Elon Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive 3 days ago:
They need to federate and decentralize with some sort of p2p protocol, so anyone can donate their spare hard drives for additional redundancy. Seeing up shop in any jurisdiction is a single point of failure.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 5 days ago:
What’s even funnier is that he’ll pay a relatively insignificant fine, and be able to continue and profit from the monopoly.
Corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy” is FUN!
- Comment on 'Not the laws of Australia': Sex discrimination chief reacts to UK ruling on definition of a woman 5 days ago:
Cease your investigations! The conservative mind can not understand nuance. Only binary, like a primitive computer.
You need to think less like an empathetic human, and more like a narcissist — a robot — else you’ll find yourself in a gulag like the treat of the radical left.

- Comment on Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims: Reuters 5 days ago:
They are the most data harvested car by far. Knowing these criminals they likely run statistical models trained on all prior Teslas, approaching it like an actuary/data scientist.
The overcounting may only be performed on Individual units that display certain patterns which indicate premature failure. Maybe it only occurs based on the profitability vs likelihood of warranty claim for that individual unit, mitigating losses for manufacturing defaults (or cost cutting by a narcissistic megalomaniac).
- Comment on Apple announced that the company has surpassed a 60 percent reduction in its global greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels. 6 days ago:
Almost guaranteed. Net zero, and the means to achieving it, was basically a Greenwashing exercise manufactured by the fossil fuel industry, so the entire mechanism is full of ridiculous loopholes en par with Hollywood accounting.
- Comment on 4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails. 1 week ago:
Yeah, I deleted a paragraph re chicken & egg scenario whether or not it started on 4chan.
It could have very well been a targeted PsyOp by Russia/fascists from the get-go, potentially starting years before gamergate.
- Comment on China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense 1 week ago:
They have the most known reserves. China has subsidized the rare earth market for decades, so capitalism didn’t bother with their exploration elsewhere. There has been no incentive to outside “national security”.
There will definitely be considerable reserves in Canada, US, Australia, Africa, probably Russia. The problem is infrastructure, expertise, and the volume of highly-toxic pollution mining and refining them entail.
- Comment on 4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails. 1 week ago:
Not invaded. The existing 4chan user-base was targeted with fascist propaganda!
It was literally ground zero for fascist PsyOps, starting with gamergate. Steve Bannon even mentioned gamergate as a pivotal moment in the success of their propaganda.
- Comment on Vizio Shows What Happens When U.S. Fascism And TV Enshittification Meet 1 week ago:
I’m not convinced we aren’t in a matrix style simulation, and the elaborate nature of this entire experience is based around the maximum rate of ads that can be consumed without inducing insanity and collapsing the system.
- Comment on If Nothing is Exposed, Am I Safe? 1 week ago:
The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn’t exist at all
- Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 1 week ago:
The emperor is a convicted criminal rapist, and probably a pedophile. The trillion dollar fraud is probably one of his lesser crimes.
- Comment on aight... i'm out.. 1 week ago:
Always has been. Nothing has changed. Every conversation you’ve ever had with chatGPT is owned by open AI. This is why I’ve largely rejected their use.
If it’s not local or E2EE, you are the product.
- Comment on Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram 1 week ago:
Completely predictable from the most “just” fascist dictatorship to have ever existed!
- Comment on 'Major brain drain': Researchers eye exit from Trump's America 2 weeks ago:
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that conservatism and neoliberalism are incompatible with democracy, freedom, and human civilization in general.
When you reject evidence based policy the way they do you doom the planet and species.
- Comment on Revealed: The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI. 2 weeks ago:
Under the Biden administration, ICE records show the agency deployed Clearview widely, even as officials there charged with monitoring the technology were in the dark about how it was being used and by whom.
This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.
- Comment on Canadians could face detention if denied U.S. entry, Ottawa warns 2 weeks ago:
There’s a reason private prison stocks jumped 20% immediately following the election.
This is why.
- Comment on “Huge win:” Federal Labor unveils $2.3bn plan to slash home battery costs by 30 pct 2 weeks ago:
If you mean battery providers increasing costs by 30%, it depends on how monopolised the industry is.
In a healthy economy this tactic would fail as they’d lose sales to a competitor who doesn’t do this. In the highly-consolidated corporate oligarchies of today, quite possibly?
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
More like asking the slaves about productivity advances in slavery. “Nothing good will come of it”.
- Comment on Dutton refuses to rule out ABC cuts and repeatedly declines meeting with chair Kim Williams, sources say 3 weeks ago:
Who can’t vote 3rd party under a preferential system? Everyone should… I don’t think I’ve ever voted directly for a major party in my life. Labor is always last out of everything left-of-Labor.
- Comment on YSK theres a open source tool to cleanly read webpage articles called 'NewsWaffle' 3 weeks ago:
Or don’t be a “rude jackass” and discredit entire projects coz you don’t know what you’re talking about?
- Comment on YSK theres a open source tool to cleanly read webpage articles called 'NewsWaffle' 3 weeks ago:
You can’t use Firefox reader on an e-reader or cli, numbnuts.
- Comment on Sen. Schumer: 'My Job is to Keep the Left Pro-Israel' 3 weeks ago:
He’s also completely failing at this task. His job is to keep neoliberals pro-Israel.
- Comment on Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland 3 weeks ago:
ANYONE who supports Trump at this point is deranged. MAGA is a mental illness. It’s really that simple. The conservative propaganda machine has weaponized the countries ignorant Abe uneducated so heavily they are now a danger to civilization.
- Comment on When Your Threat Model Is Being a Moron 4 weeks ago:
This is one of the greatest headlines in the history of journalism.
- Comment on How much will the uncomfortable truth of a former employee cost Meta? 4 weeks ago:
“They trust me. Stupid fucks!”
- Comment on Musk’s X suspends opposition accounts in Turkey amid civil unrest 4 weeks ago:
Everybody knows that you only attain free speech when you control a platform with hundreds of millions of users and can ban anyone you disagree with at any time, for any reason.
