This is an account of a pro-democracy journalist, my bias is towards humanity and the health and functioning of society, the environment and all living beings. veracity > neutrality. one need not be objective in the face of harm.

I've been anticipating this moment since I learned about biometric data and the Internet Of things (IOT) in the late 2000s. Nearly every fear about the future I have comes true 🫣 I remember posting "one day suggestions would become commands" on FB.

At the beginning of the pandemic, a guy tried to crash a hijacked train into a boat because he thought all of the Pizzagate babies were in there. One of dozens of things from that year that went basically uncovered outside of my beat.

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.

Going further down the incel/groyper rabbit hole and I need more time on this thought, but it appears that the failure of capitalism to create an environment for an increasing number of people to self actualize is coming to a head as folks find dangerous ways to fulfill basic human needs
