More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system.

I’ve been trying to do what I can in this time, online and IRL. It is really disorienting living in this nation, not knowing what’s working or what’s not; or what the situation is going to look like in a week or two. So many assumptions that I had of basic protections and securities are just Gone. I genuinely do not recognize or understand the people or systems around me anymore.

At least if we’re doing something it’s changing the scenario. It’s not like things could get much worse. “rather live two days like a tiger, than two hundred years like a sheep” ~Tipu Sultan

oh, yeah, of course Musk’s companies go on there… and I saw a few things about Oracle’s surveillance efforts.

I’ll confess this was me and now is me. Trump got elected when I was middle school-aged. I really, really believed that was the low point, and for the rest of my life, the USA would get better. I believed the USA population was just ill-informed, and I did not expect this global rise of fascism and digital surveillance. I assumed people would never vote to strip away freedoms if they knew that was going to happen. I assumed the internet would always stay anonymous, and always be a free space.

Obviously there was an immense amount I did not know about. I had heard of the Trail of Tears and Slavery and the Civil War, but I didn’t grasp institutionalized racism beyond police brutality; didn’t realize the Left was losing the internet, didn’t recognize the danger of the manosphere; didn’t understand how wide-spread the propaganda campaigns were, didn’t grasp that billionaires and centi-millionaires would want fascism, and would enact it across the Western world.

When Kamala announced her campaign, I deemed her president. Every step of that campaign, as the Republicans careened more extremist-right I became more certain that even their party members would deem them insane. I knew people were struggling financially under Biden, but, that guy’s holding signs reading “MASS DEPORTATIONS”, has two moronic side-kicks (Musk and Vance), and his term was filled with economic hardship. Also, Jan 6th, 2021.

In hindsight I’m ashamed of my naive optimism. I’d beat myself up for it more, if I wasn’t living in the middle of my personalized hell.

What happened to “Don’t share your real identity online”? Oh… Social Media.

Well before the UK online ID laws, I saw some memes about people getting asked for ID as proof of age for NSFW servers, just to send to server admins. I figured it was a ID fraud scheme of some sort, but now I’d chalk it up to manic “protect the children” believers.

Have you seen the USA? UK? Russia? China? I really don’t want the government making any system to tie internet to any identity. I really don’t want any government having any role in the internet.

So if we ever take back this country, we’ve gotta destroy Palantir, Apple, Google, Meta, Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, CVS (working to compile a medical database on all USAmericans)… and every company that backed Trump’s Nazi campaign. Start making a list now. The corporations alone will be a life’s worth of work.

Just looked it up. I now see the guards were told to abuse the prisoners. Thank you for informing me. I was unaware.

think of the children!!! :< :< :< :< :<

And the “Tea” app leak happened right before these age-verification rules started popping up everywhere. It’s obvious cause and effect, but it was also demonstrated RIGHT before.

Don’t put your hand on a hot stove, especially after watching someone burn their hand on that hot stove.

It’s the same people throughout. The post is about the USA.

I was a shut-in before the 2024 Election. I figured social spaces there were somewhat immature because the mature people would have jobs and real life involvement. Then I started going outside, and I lost all hope. I’m too stupid for people to be this dumb. (Though I’ll admit, social media, algorithmic content, and the AI products probably made people dumber.)

Stanford Prison Experiment. Slavery. Lynch mobs. Segregationists. Anti-Feminists. Prison-Industrial Complex. The majority of the country voting for the leader passing out signs that said “MASS DEPORTATIONS”. Maybe there’s some inherent cruelty to the mainland USA. Maybe there’s still too much lead particles in the air. As someone who has never left the mainland, I’ve seen overwhelming evidence to the “non-empathetic” side. Or, perhaps, the majority of people are passive, and cruelty is most capable of spurring people to action.

See I hard coped the “Believe that most people are good” thing, and then I saw numerical data that proves that most people (in the USA), in fact, not only want me to die; but hate most people not like them enough to support a sleazy dictator wanna-be and support a fascist regime, just to destroy the lives of other people who they see as “competition” or “lesser” or “undesirables”.
