Lets record everything CEOs and government officials do in their spare time, and lets see how long that lasts.

A reality TV show I’d actually watch.

would we care, though?

we literally have hundreds of millions of documents between the epstein files and the freedom of information act files themselves detailing the behavior of the ruling class manipulating and manufacturing propaganda and we collectively ignore them nonetheless.

Do we really care about any reality stars? Fire them out a cannon into a mountain all I care, wait that I’d watch closest to hit the bullseye with their billionaires body still screaming wins

Nah, just freely share all of it with all of the other rich people. Let them get angry and jealous and destroy each other when they realize how much they’re purposely screwing each other over.

eldavi@lemmy.ml on 03 Jun 19:47 collapse

it’s not only already freely shared, but both it’s distribution is legally mandated since the 1960’s and has been in the public domain since the 1970’s; yet here we are with the overwhelming majority willfully ignorant of it because it contradicts our indoctrination and it’s not spoonfed to the masses by tv or smartphone.

You know what, they even record the govt officials who just have not yet realised its happening and used in espionage.

Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.

SM was founder of Sun Microsystems. Ironic part is… Sun had very little to do with the total destruction of privacy. Not compared to Google, Meta, Tiktok, and some 100’s of data broker companies nobody heard of but sit in the shadows and amass dossiers of every single human being.

You may not like it, but this is what peak freedom looks like in a liberal capitalist society.

Gonna start calling it late-stage liberalism.

Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

eldavi@lemmy.ml on 02 Jun 18:16 next collapse

the upper echelons of the middle class are the reason why this fuckery keeps going on.

If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

Citizens proles will be on their best behavior.

These dumbasess are nearing the wish and dream of every autocratic government in human history: to fully automate the military.

Its not done yet dumbasses, why are you revealing these cards in such a public way? They are so impatient and arrogant, which will one day be their undoing.

They’re trying to make us feel powerless, while giving investors the impression they have the most dystopian product: as products without regard for morals tend to yield the highest returns. The biggest bullshitter will secure most venture capital, to be weaponized against competitors.
