You know, I'm glad I'll be dead by the time the one world government is formed (not from old age or anything, I'll just check out early.) EDIT: Actually no, I'll definitely be dead as fuck either way. Thank god.
Joking, kind of. It's not like this list is indicative of any true future reality. The direction we're heading in is WAY worse.
Trolling has never been easier. Back in the day, you'd get found out fairly quickly, but now? Everyone has such strong opinions and is so perpetually-riled up to the point of taking every opinion at face value and arguing back with such passion that it's almost irresistible to fuck with people these days.
Probably the two downvotes it has haha
I'll happily just stick with Kodi. I download all the media I watch to a massive HDD anyway, as I live in Australia, and our internet infrastructure is beyond useless. No accounts, no invasive 'social' features, just my local media library - no streaming required.
Enshittification strikes again.
Short of undoing decades of neoliberal globalism and free trade agreements that destroyed a litany of domestic industries by sending them offshore, and as a result, collapsing an economy of 'repair, don't replace', we'll never ever see the days of buying anything for life again.
Welcome to the future. It sucks.
That's exactly what TikTok is. It's just the latest weaponized propaganda machine from the CCP designed to destabilize social harmony in the west and weaken the youngest generations' trust in western democratic values (specifically to ensure their values and priorities are molded to align more with hypercorporatized capitalism x mass governmental surveillance and control.) Basically, "don't question any narratives, shut down any dissenting opinions, it's okay to hand over all your private information, and also - spend, spend, spend, peasants." We're seeing this taking place all across the west today, and it began around the time of the Occupy Wallstreet movement, and Gen Z in particular are EXTREMELY susceptible to this propaganda.
TikTok wasn't the first tool to be used against us, but it's certainly been the most effective, and I'm not sure the youngest among us can reverse the damage already done to their minds. I'm extremely worried about the future of all free democratic nations, given that in a very short number of years, these kids are going to have political influence via their votes. We're sliding fast into a neofeudalistic world, and it isn't going to be a superficially-fun dystopia. It'll just suck massive cock.
but what’s the limitations on who gets classified as a terrorist.
Exactly my issue with this. I don't trust the corrupt Australian government to objectively apply this law. This country is sleepsprinting into authoritarianism one small cut at a time. I may be in my very early-30's, but I'm making active plans to get out of here before things get worse. Australia has never felt more suffocating and restrictive.
Defender is all I use, with Malwarebytes free as a backup if I sense something feels different. Haven't had a virus in years.
Is... is that ralphthemoviemaker?
Yeah, TOR in particular seems to give a lot of people a false sense of security. I live out in a very remote area, I'm certainly not going to be using TOR, for obvious reasons.
Quality fucking content.
Australia too. I'll never understand it, and I live here.
