The more I find out about the tech bro dissolution of the United States, the more it seems certain & scary.

    This shit is suddenly everywhere. It’s so dystopian seeing these cameras on every road.

      Well this is extremely unnerving and expected. I mean jesus shit.

      Edit: I met a Russian expat in SE Asia, I don’t know how correct what he says is, but he’s in IT like me and runs his own org, and he says that Russia is ridiculously surveilled with cameras with advanced facial recognition that will easily identify you in spite of disguises like masks or sunglasses or basically anything you try, he says they have absolute control over who and where people are at any given time, and that’s where the US is heading full speed.

      Edit2: Also, everyone check out Benn Jordan, who’s hacking this various shit,

        New name was of course - INTegrated ELectronics, or Intel for short. The fact that “intel” was the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable, but that name was already taken by some hotel chain in the mid-west. In the end, Moore & Noyce Electronics bought the name from the chain and renamed itself Intel Corporation.

    I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.

    Someone who isnt a huge friend of the billionaries. Actually when I think about it, you will find no such person.

      You have plenty in politics. Special interests (mainly but not exclusively the rich) have seen to it that the American electorate would never make any of them president. Billionaires don’t buy news and media outlets because they love honest journalism.
