Israel is committing genocide. Israel are harboring war criminals.

Consume the ads like a good corpo-drone. Lobby the unicode consortium to have your emoji added/removed because you have no control over your computer; you have no property. Drone does what the computer says to do. Consume ads. Beep bop.

What’s a world cup? America failing; land of poverty and circuses.

I don’t get it either, OP. If the DJs don’t go mad how do the listeners retain sanity? It’s madness. (No, really. You have trades people who listen to the same station day in day out and they play the exact same songs, over and over, every day. Those listeners are demented. At that point you’re just listening for the ads…) Tune into the local community stations. All the commercial stations are just repeat rubbish. You’ll find variety and local music on the community stations. They likely need your financial support too. It’s sad seeing these stations shutter one by one…

Maybe a hotel in Ireland needs to be shot up. Take out Pete Thiel once and for all. He’s making a big mess everywhere.

Computers are machines for war; if your computers aren’t liberated they’re working for someone else. You pay for the hardware. You pay for the software. You pay for the electricity. You pay for the data-connection. You create content/data. They take it all. They keep the profits. They don’t even pay nominally for the labour.

Shoshana Zuboff will claim it’s surveillance-capitalism. I claim she’s a reactionary reacting to a new domain of exploitation under capitalism that the intelligentsia were previously protected from. It’s not new; it does not need a clunky prefix: it’s still just capitalism. Only now this particular type of exploitation can be done invisibly, silently and on an industrial scale that spans the globe.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, et al kills. If you use these technology companies you contribute to sophisticated targeting-software used by militaries to kill. You’re not a goofy innocent, just wanting to post ‘selfies’ to Facebook on a Google-Android mobile-computer. You’re willfully ignorant at this point.

Putting aside ideals of privacy: economically you’re being exploited with no nominal compensation at all. You’ve been trained to grovel and you wonder why tech-bros have a god-complex as you use their software obeying them absolutely.

You’re either free or a slave. Maybe drone is more apt: computer says go here; computer says take photo; computer says input real-name of person photographed; computer says buy this; computer says don’t think–just accept–just agree–obey! The computer will set you free!

Addendum: the frustrating thing is this is a matter of consent. It can be halted entirely, but it requires users to make a choice: reject proprietary software. Think about what the software is actually doing with those CPU cycles you pay for. Stop donating data, capital and other resources to these surveillance networks.

He blew the whistle because the surveillance apparatus was surveilling Americans; everyone else was fair game. The complete rejection he suffered from the Americans might’ve morphed into “mass surveillance is generically bad”, which now catches non-Americans too, but he’s an American dog who got a fright when he saw the reality outside propaganda reels. The system continues unabated. ACAB.

Kill all those who hold obscene wealth whilst depriving their sisters and brothers their human rights. Vanquish the landlords, the economic speculators & the remote-owners who make profit in leisure. You should not even miss them for you do not even know who they are.

The vast majority will never see those they labour for or those they support through legalised exploitation in the paying of rents. This anonymity and remoteness of the owning class allows them to be cruel and vicious in their actions. It’s also a one way mirror: for the working class must be surveilled in ever more obscene detail. Through technical innovation you will be deprived another fundamental human right! The right to privacy. Every moment of your life becomes their data.

For the working class there is no loss. Until we are all free there is work to be done. Those that shirk that responsibility can be thrown to the wayside.
