Oh... That's right. It's THIS timeline. This wasn't an Onion headline. Ugh.

It's always "liberal indoctrination" to them. Because they can't understand that being more exposed to more ideas tends to make you less conservative. Also, it feels like a tacit admission that their own "education" was really indoctrination. That's probably one reason why they think all education is such.

They want to promote seemingly "Christian" values...

But not social emotional learning... You know, empathy. That thing Jesus totally lacked.

Have to agree with you on the evil thing, though. There is no other word to describe the actions of these people

There's a few reasons to get that data.

To weaponize it against us himself, or sell it to our enemies.

To create a "master list" that the authoritarians can use to disburse and destroy those they disagree with or find impure.

This isn't just about some shitty AI. It's about destroying and controlling us.

He's currying favor with world leaders because he saw how easy it has been for such vast wealth to undermine and topple American democracy and he wants to do this everywhere.

What's the total of the cost of insurance companies standing between patients and care?

Oh, you don't really give a shit about anything but hate.

Dude already stole all our data and destroyed every bureau of federal government that was in his way.

And helped destroy most of the others as well. He doesn't need to be there in person.

I want to see these fucking traitors hang.

You can also download all of Wikipedia in a package about 120GB in size. I have a snapshot from Jan 1, 2024 before the fascists took over.

Kiwix is the name of the offline browser designed for it.

This is the hostile attitude they were talking about

Ah yes. The one mechanic per hundred machines or whatever is totally the same as millions of factory jobs.

Why the hell do these people want to be enslaved in factories anyway?

We can have unskilled labor that doesn't involve possibly being mangled by machinery.

The problem isn't the jobs, it's the lack of jobs and the wage rate not keeping pace with production capacity and inflation for the last 50 years.

I'd like to see these graphs only relating to their opinions on Russia and North Korea from the 1980s, at least, through now.

This is just insane, though. The decoupling from reality is seemingly total.

Why must it be balanced?

Americans import more than we export. They use the word "deficit" to make it scary.

These other countries would prefer having our money and financial instruments rather than the actual goods and services they are providing to us.

They are giving us actual things for the money the fed creates ex nihilo.

This is not the same thing as pointing out we should have local manufacturing and reduce reliance on global supply chains.

I'm not defending the Orange Doofus, just tired of seeing these debates being fought through the wrong lens.
