Fuck this capitalist hellscape. I’m very disappointed in America. Shame on you, America.
Your disappointment is because you had unrealistic expectations of capitalism in America. This is par the fucking course.
It's a modernization of fascism.
It's still fascism.
But it's also so much worse.
Instead of papers please, it's drones and facial recognition (palantir/thiel). It's killbots and robotic cryptids (optimus/mech dogs). It's ai, algorithms that know you better than you know yourself, disinfo and thought police (Facebook, amazon). It's tracking and controlling what you can buy and where (crypto [crypto is NOT anonymous]). It's a return to slavery and/or elimination of human labor in favor of humanoid machines.
It's absolute control and obedience (all of the above).
Monero is anonymous
