RichM but that’s across the pond in the land of mental shit.
Once again the rest of us have to suffer the tories and their half formed brains that cannot conceive of anything other than what they see in front of them. No imagination. Zilch, nada, zip. If you don’t think there aren’t ambitious nutters over here ready to dish out their own ‘mental shit’ then you either haven’t turned on a TV for the past ten years or you haven’t been paying attention.
Farage and his mob are the European arm of the American techno fascists; Musk, Andreessen, Theil, Bannon etc. they are all seen together regularly and all do business together, they are ready to repeat the same play book here as they are using there. They are creating a digital framework through which they can control, manipulate, prosecute etc. You think after Cambridge Analytica they all just downed tools and retired?
RichM I don’t get why people think the extreme scenarios of how it could used, outway the benefits of doing it.
Any tangible benefits to us the patient are somewhat negated when we’re left dying in a corridor for days on end because we have been attacked by our own defense forces, something which we can see happening in America right now.
I have absolutely fuck all to gain from believing and talking about how I think this all might happen. It makes me look like a fruitcake for the most part. So I don’t do it lightly. Just because you can’t imagine it happening, it doesn’t mean it won’t. There are a lot of decent journalists out there talking about this stuff, go and read about it, it’s as fascinating as it is terrifying. Tyranny doesn’t advertise itself, it’s a sneaky cunt.
