@davidaugust @Maxfieldripken Chileans voted against Pinochet's continued rule and won, but like all party democracies are defenceless against the unethical use of lobbyists, bribery, media bias and the control of capital by non-renewable corporate investor interests. Until there are structural changes favouring the democratic rights of diverse interests, the corporate hegemony of the ultra rich (aka fascists) is only going to get more authoritarian. How, can peaceful processes achieve its overthrow while its oligarchs are in control of the markets, the media, the police and the army? Why would they give up their power unless forced to? #EmpiresArmies #TheFederation #PeoplesArmies #Oligarchs #ThePeople

#Waymo’s autonomous vehicles have a way of turning into collateral damage during times of civil unrest.

They are often sitting ducks, lacking an innate ability to avoid the scene or flee when surrounded by a group of #people.

Unlike #Immigration and #Customs Enforcement, they won’t run over #protesters who stand in their way — their #programming forbids it.

And their presence likely adds fuel to a volatile situation, where protests against ICE and #billionaire #oligarchs are in coexistence.”

Rigid #AI.

So who saw Trump and Musk clashing? I think we all knew, because at the end of the day #fascism knows only the game of dominance, fealty and betrayal, above all zero sum gain transactionalism. The public good is eviscerated, the commoner left poorer. Whether Trump flames out or Musk gets his Ernst Röhm only time will tell, but the shocks these pathetic egos are delivering to business and the world economy through their machinations are tragic for common people. #oligarchs ruin countries. #uspol

How the billionaire hoarders prevent everyone else from having nice things.

Post World War II, a single income of a factory worker could support a family, own a house, drive two cars, and afforded vacations. Today most families with two parents working full time can barely make ends meet.

201 million Americans (almost 60%) live in poverty where a minimal quality of life is out of reach. Compare this to 5% in Italy and 11% in Japan.
