Democrats are building a class of Arab and Muslim politicians similar to the one they've built with Black politicans. A minority overseer of capitalism and imperialism who protects the interest of white supremacy while exploiting their identity to create the illusion of progress

It will be so funny if Cyberpunk predicted the fact that the Internet will be unusuable because of it being just this huge trash pile of bullshit, viruses and rogue AIs. Like, a lot of you don't understand how close we are to this becoming the reality.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

"If you don't vote, you can't complain" actually... when 1 of 2 evil, despicable administrations gets into office that you support and does evil, despicable things, YOU can't complain. You put them there, right?
I didn't.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

I don’t think many people have the ability to zoom all the way out and really understand how the constant exploitation of the American people by literally everyone in every way possible is effecting the average person psychologically.

A country founded on genocide, slavery, and imperialism didn’t suddenly become bad when Trump took office but try telling that to liberals who just want to go back to fucking brunch.

"The cyber attack seems like a very possible scenario because it's a way for the banks to absolve themselves of any role in a a financial crisis."
"It's an easy way to consolidate banks so only systemically important ones survive 'the hack.'"
Turns out @SantiagoAuFund and Whitney Webb were both right about stable coins, and how the U.S. government plans to fund its debt with them.
This also explains why the U.S. is trying to cause chaos everywhere.
If you destabilize international trade & trigger a recession, it causes a Dollar shortage in many countries throughout the world.
By creating a Dollar shortage, it forces nations to print more of their own currency liquidate their foreign reserves and U.S. bonds.
Doing so devalues their local currency, which increases demand for U.S. assets, triggering a feedback loop of a rising Dollar and demand for U.S. stable coins.
Currency arbitrage is Scott Bessent's professional background. So much so that he helped cause the UK currency crisis in 1992 "Black Wednesday" and the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis with George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller.
In Scott Bessent's recent speech of "Economic D-Day" he specifically warned every nation that they're about to sanction any nation trading with Iran.
That halts all cross border Dollar flows into those nations, which will trigger sovereign debt crisis. The "Japan crisis" also appears to be part of the plan to suddenly cutting off liquidity from markets.
The plan really is genius... that's why it's called "The Genius Act"
The question is, how do targeted nations prevent the sudden outflow of currency into the United States without being able to block Bitcoin and other crypto currencies?
