They're more likely to kill his entire family than they are to ever give up power.

The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn't exist at all
Literally everything they are doing is a "cultural purge", to plant fascist loyalists into every position of power and authority. The brain drain is a side effect, and the more educated and high-skilled people that leave, the more it will sap American tech and industry of profits (including big tech, the war machine, etc).
Brain drain: the situation in which large numbers of educated and very skilled people leave their own country to live and work in another one where pay and conditions are better.
Lol, "the fascists murder civilians so it's okay" is not the hill to die on, but keep voicing your true colors!
Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state. Tariffs might just be how he cripples every corporation that doesn't bend the knee.
The emperor is a convicted criminal rapist, and probably a pedophile. The trillion dollar fraud is probably one of his lesser crimes.
Turns out "the ways of the lord" = capitalism. That's probably why he condemned his socialist son to torture and crucifixion; for the crime of empathy! God was like "Helping the poor? Absolutely fucking not!".
There is absolutely no situation where targeting innocents is justified, otherwise you are as vile as the fascists, and your actions will only provide them with justification, and weaken the cause in the eyes of the civilian. You could certainly threaten the fascist with that to gain the upper hand, but civilians should always remain off limits, regardless of how low the fascist goes.
There will always be more than enough legitimate military/political targets who have broken their oath and are "just following orders" from the dictatorship. Don't get lazy or despotic.
True, but even if Americans are too brainwashed to do what's necessary, the rest of the world is not. The shock and awe will result in massive divestment and brain-drain from the US. With how dependent the US is on trade, that might mean the difference between WW3 and domestic economic collapse (containment).
A slow takeover would result in an even stronger shift of the overton window, globally, and give fascism some legitimacy among the average moron. Without the American people enacting a peaceful revolution, the best case scenario for the world is economic collapse and civil war in the US.
Always has been. Nothing has changed. Every conversation you've ever had with chatGPT is stored and owned by open AI. This is why I've largely rejected their use.
If it's not local or E2EE, you are the product (even when you pay for the service).
Completely predictable from the most "just" fascist dictatorship to have ever existed!
I have zero doubt secret service have largely been replaced with loyalists, and would kill any Marshall attempting such a thing.
It should still be done, but I doubt any judge has the balls, because the fascists will charge and execute them too.
