No New Wars!

Another reason to believe that people are being manipulated. Jessica Foster is not real. Yet she's been appearing as an American soldier.

Who's behind this? Nobody knows. But as the article mentions, '... is an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to push political agendas in wartime'.

This is an unpopular war, gas prices are up $1.60 on my block, costs are going up, this is killing Trump's popularity and will impact the midterms. Strategically, if he can get out now, claim a 'victory' of some kind and get gas prices to come back down, that kind of momentum is what they'll need for the mid terms. Makes me sick this is how we do shit but here we are. But since this is really Israel's war, why now are they looking to end this? Has there been any actual wins, or is this another 'regime change' for he sake of regime change? Cause now we really fucked up thier leadership tree. There nis still no way I beleive Trump wanted any part of this - it just doesn't track. If he was war mongering, he could've done it his first term but he stayed far far away from this shit. This is inconsistant with him. We know it's all Israel - even he has not-so-subtly said so - maybe to shift the blame on them - I wonder if Israel is getting hit hard and wanting to get out now? It's hard to know what to believe anymore.

wash, rinse repeat.

Dem just flipped a +11 Trump district seat that Maralago is in.

Republicans are getting absolutely smoked.

The democrats flip Donald's home district, that's funny. He can't carry his own district, to a first time candidate? That doesn't seem like a good sign lol

Democrats are projected to win a special election for a Florida legislative district that includes Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, marking another upset in the president's backyard.

Democrat Emily Gregory, a first-time candidate, defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples in a race for the open Florida District 87 state House seat.

The result is a reversal from 2024, when a Republican won the district by 19 percentage points

Carried it by 19 points two years ago, ouch

I feel like its a process of being worn down. A process that's going to make a fabricated reality more and more reasonable.

You know what else is being worn away, the concept of privacy. This is what bothers me a lot. I've wanted to start a thread, discuss examples. I think in a few more generations the concept of privacy will be forgotten. People are going to be willing to be monitored in a way that erases the concept. The extension of today's health and security monitoring combined with the interconnected quality of social media where people happily give up their privacy, ie Dtrains cousin

Absolutely. And what better way to erase privacy and track people, than with a small hand held device that people feel they can't live without? Or an online platform that allows everyone to easily share everything. The sheep are so easily led.

What people fail to understand with this sort of thing is that it's a slow burn. Like Chinese water torture. Slow, but highly effective over a long time period.

There's the occasional crime story where it's solved by the data that's collected. There was a guy that murdered his wife. His alibi fell apart after they analyzed the data his apple watch had been uploading, a health app. He was a fitness nut. He kills his wife with a gadget on his wrist monitoring his movements, Holy shit, that's nuts! And the murder of the insurance executive ion NYC. I thought it was chilling how they were able to recreate the guys movements using CCTV footage. It's great catching criminals but what's the cost? And it's not like a conspiracy deal. Nobody is doing it to us, we are the ones doing it. The enemy is us

Ever have an ad appear right after you had a conversation with someone? Or shopped somewhere? I wonder if it could be the phone in your hand?

On top of that, Alexa really is listening.

One day, some archaeologists will find the mess we've left behind and marvel at the sheer amount of junk that we produced and then simply threw away.

It's called "The Grass Is Greener". Haven't you ever wondered why our government flips back and forth the way it does? It's just so funny how people celebrate a few seats flipping like it's going to result in a permanent shift.

It's not, the grass is greener, it's that it's required to throw the bastards out on a regular basis. What's remarkable to me is how 3rd world it's becoming. It's got that level of debate. Everyone wants to toss someone in jail. The last three presidents of the Philippines ended getting tossed in prison. They all began immensely popular and end up in prison, what a wacky job. And the USA is getting like that now. Get elected president and toss your predecessor in prison.

Republicans are pretty likely to get destroyed in the midterms. And deserve to.

There are a lot of people like me who aren't happy with how Trump has become Israel's bitch and it's showing in the elections.

He told us he didn't want our support if we still wanted the Epstein files released. So, he's getting what he asked for.
