    So we’ve gone from banning books to banning apps.

    could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

    So I’d get less for stabbing someone.

    Guess you’ll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed “Tienanmen Square Massacre” so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.

    Lmao.

    The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.

    As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

          Yes. You know the history of the political situation we’re in and how we got here, right? The foreign entities that are salivating at the idea of a weakened America? The foreign entities buying our elected officials?

            The Nazis were also extremely incompetent when I came to stuff like this. Hitler had generals scrambling behind his back to produce their best weapon, but he kept finding out and making them stop along with tons of other micromanaging.

            Trump is an idiot and so is musk. Most business people are short sighted and fascists even more. They also may be high on their own farts and think the system won’t collapse with them “in charge” like a toddler left in s room full of candles and napalm.

            Not saying that foreign powers aren’t loving this, but they don’t have to have control over it.

                Just keep believing increasingly unhinged BlueAnon conspiracy theories. The US is just a smol bean fragile liberal democracy being mind controlled by the bad, mean, no good authoritarian foreign masterminds. Previously.

            TBH, I think that’s giving too much credit to those in charge. They don’t want to be China’s or Russia’s puppet. They imagine themselves the puppeteers (whether that’s true or not).

          USSR leadership did… And some of them become the new global oligarch elite. Others got dead.

          Current clonw posse could be trying to do something similar, thinking they can do better for themselves

      It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything
