  • Well we are too preoccupied with fascists seizing control of governments and fixing elections. I say we, we really aren’t, a minority of us are, most everyone doesn’t know what is even going on, and even the ones that do don’t seem to have a very good handle on how this will play out.

    But everyone knows it’s bad if not exactly how, in reality, which may not be a majority in itself anymore on any one subject.






  • Once again illustrating our leaders and their appointees across the west but especially in the UK and US, think the republic(s) are already dead in all but name, and acquiescing to the demands of the oligarchy over their duty as agents of the state they work for.

    This seems like a good issue to attack hard, to organize people around, and force the guy who made this call out of his position, as it’s a corrupt repudiation of the freedoms of the country and spites their long held freedoms of freedom of expression and dissent.

    While they need all new leadership, this isn’t a bad place to start, as these attempts to surrender their citizenry to tech need to be stopped by any means.


  • I will have to try that one I wrote it down, every time I check they are different, and they used to work better than they do since the enshittening started in earnest in 2021. The search engines don’t give you most of them anymore I think is the big problem, I used to use these mp3juices that now are tough and time consuming to get to work and or find stuff.

    But I started writing down ones that work so I don’t need the search engines as we can’t trust them, so thanks I will try that one.


  • It’s a long story. Republicans stole the 2000 election. Democrats let them fillibuster the recount and scotus let Republicans have it. After that they started vote fraud campaigns with the intention of fixing elections. Mostly voter suppression, removing voters from rolls, ways to remove them from certain districts that are blue, etc.

    The president seized control of the party in 2016, made it very explicit in 2020, trying to steal it in every way, something the party had been on for 20 years but he rushed it forward with less subtlety. 7 ways from sunday. Voter suppression, trying to throw out votes, signature matching, trying to stop the counts when they are ahead. Encouraging their partisans to send death threats to voting officials and trying to bully them into not doing their jobs honestly.

    Too much to list, but then of course just tried to take the election anyway on fraud allegations, even as they were the ones cheating, as always accusing their victims of being the aggressor. So they tried the alternate slates of electors to get congress to vote in the loser anyway. Then when that didn’t work attempted to take Congress hostage with an angry mob while engineering security services to stand down, and the president and his secret service detail to show up and make congress sign over the republic at the head of an angry mob.

    In the 3 month coup attempt to overturn the election, and afterwards, they got the hard drives and inner workings of all the voting systems, via mike lindell’s website and organization. They got the software and hard drives and inner workings of all the voting machines, all the battleground states at least, MI, GA, AZ, PA, WI to name a few.

    Bannon spearheaded a precinct level takeover of partizans in on the steal, they got precinct level guys in every county, and the party otherwise purged everyone in the party, and without it they could, that opposed stealing the election. And the aformentioned death threats, hundreds and hundreds that biden did nothing about, literally a handful of light prosecutions when hundreds looked at just by reuters investigations crossed the legal line.

    Now they control the feds, most of the states, they’ve their hacks in a majority of counties, and have large democratic counties beset by hostile state governments in red states. Many such red states passed laws in 2021 further restricting voting, but also allowing state legislatures, that are gerrymandered to hell where they control them, of voting electors for the candidate that lost the popular vote. The popular vote was designated around the turn of the 20th century or thereabouts to determine electors it used to be awarded by state lawmakers. Many took that back, including GA, AZ, I think WI, Texas tried and failed to include that part in their voter suppression bill, but many other states followed suit.

    We could go on, but it’s already incredibly fucked, and will become moreso, and the democrats are as weak and unpopular as ever, unwilling to mount the type of popular reform, and build and run a political machine, that could take it from them, even as their succession fight might be the last chance before the fix is in too tight.








  • Proton is garbage though. They immediately disabled my account after I set it up, as I’m on some blacklist by some brazillian firm, they didn’t tell me that part, they said suspicious activity. I do nothing illegal, or spammy either, I read the news and use some social media.

    Anyway they gave me no way to appeal. The other main one that doesn’t require a phone number or existing email let me appeal and approved it.

    Now why am I on some shady blacklist that tech companies use to discriminate against people for? I can only speculate, but I suspect it’s an Israel thing.
