AMERICAN FREEDOM!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅

Brought to you by the party of:

small government
personal freedoms
states’ rights
less spending
free speech
religious liberty

Don't bother. Hypocrisy is the gas, and cognitive dissonance the oil that power Conservatism.
- And racism, anger and fear are the highly reactive napalm that drives their dumpster fire of a train wreck
I mean, it's been brought by both your parties.

Always relevant:

Don't tread on me unless I'm too chickenshit to make you pay.
That's what it means. It's just that ancaps usually dream of a situation of some widespread ancap ethics and ancap solidarity, so that "making them pay" is possible. While IRL it's not. Solidarity is hard for humans. Building it on the ancap basis is even harder because ancap just doesn't address human herd instincts.
The proper political ideology IMHO is bog standard ancap+Georgism logically, but with socialist aesthetics and dynamics. Something similar to anarcho-syndicalism and Trotskyism, but with the individual part more pronounced. These are not really contradictory to each other, because the right libertarian part here approaches rules and logic and feedbacks, while the socialist part approaches projects. These are different layers of the same system, they are perfectly compatible. Like L3 and L4 in computer networks.

it's okay guys! The NRA said they were here to prevent this sort of thing!

We're in goooood hands!

Oh yea they will rise up but they will stand on the side of tyranny.

Don't be afraid of them. Say it all loudly and often.

Donald Trump is a traitor who should have been hung years ago. Elon Musk is a Nazi who should be beaten to death in the streets. Palantir should be dismantled for supporting and enabling fascism around the world. All billionaires should be publicly executed for crimes against humanity. The current American government is an enemy of freedom and democracy around the globe and should be overthrown by force if peaceful means are no longer possible, which looks more and more each day to be an accurate assessment of the situation.

Fear will not silence us. We have more power than they ever will. All we have to do is decide to use it.

Palantir should be dismantled for supporting and enabling fascism
Unfortunately that has never happened. In fact, a lot of big name companies made a fortune exactly due to their collaboration:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
- We don't have to repeat the mistakes of the past.
  Let's find every palantir employee, and make sure they each get their very own wall.
- Just because it hasn't happened before does not mean it can't happen in the future.

Make America North Korea Again!

I didn’t remember emigrating to China.

Damn, this dude has to pick the shittiest aspects of every other country and implement them. But even the shitty countries have socialized health care and things like paid maternal leave. Does he pick those features? Of course not.

Nobody here in China knows wtf a social credit score is. Also the healthcare is less socialized than your average European country, but they do take measures to keep costs down.

Writing about the secret social credit system:

-200 good boy points

boomers will be dead and gone and not have to deal with it

classic fucking boomers

Specter of death, can we speed this along already?

next up credit scores based on Palantir db.

Hi, im potential threat #3EF728.

Anyone who would use this metric to categorize me in the first place is inherently a threat to me.

Figure that one out.

Hello, potential threat CSS lime green
Yeah. You're not rich so you don't matter.
- Ok, but you dont need a database to see my signature look features velcro addias sandals and a t-shirt with a hole in the pit.

Between this and the ICE contractor ShadowDragon using their platform SocialNet to track "potential threats" it's beginning to paint a grim picture.

How does it work? If people post from a anonymous accounts
- I don't know a lot but I made a comment about it before that I share here with some basic info and further reading. I'll post it here.
  ~~===~~
  TL;DR:
  ICE contractor ShadowDragon uses their platform SocialNet to map individuals' digital footprints, personal data and connections across 200+ sites such as OnlyFans, WhatsApp, Roblox and Duolingo.
  ShadowDragon claims it accesses data in real-time without storing it, sidestepping some accountability.
  ICE and other agencies, including the DEA and State Department, use SocialNet for investigations, citing its utility in tracking criminal activity, despite their unwillingness to prove that criminality in court.

  Link to Mozilla's follow-up article which mentions some additional involved companies.

Isn't that what credit score already is?

Just expand that, maybe with generative AI since the accuracy doesn't matter.

/s

Not really, a credit score is based on your ability to repay loans.
- As well as your willingness to take on debt.
  No credit score (AKA living so frugally that you don't need credit) is a bad score too.
- How do you know that? The algo is proprietary, anything can go into it
- And it determines where you can live, what jobs tou can hold, and wheree your kids can go to school. The system that was developed immediately aftyer the federal government said you can't discriminate on race is definitely fair.
Just use musk logic: the data is incomplete, so extrapolate missing data with data you feel should constitute proper results
- Yes, basically this.
  And when you have an industry surrounding it (specialised companies that do only this & fund lobbies) the system just becomes a perpetual business for the sake of it, can't get rid of it.
  Like filling for taxes in USA (or did that just recertify change?).
  Or private prisons.
  Too much profit incentive & too many people involved to allow it to be dismantled once it became obvious the product doesn't work/it doesn't give any added value.

So basically the Americans get Chinese-Style authoritarianism, but without the prosperity

yeah all the worst parts without any of the benefits, like education or healthcare
- Competition for places in universities and even good doctors in China is crazy, or so I've heard. In general it's a "dog eat dog" society much more than the US one, despite common misconceptions about both.
  I dunno what "prosperity" they mean, the ability to actually start and finish projects is spectacular for China, yes. That's why western nations are trying to hurt Chinese logistics, attacking their sources of raw materials, markets and routes. But the average Chinese man does not yet have an easier life than the average US-American.
- Yes exactly

Planter nooooooooooo

Every accusation is projection once again

Isn’t this essentially the plot to Winter Soldier?

And Minority Report.

Hey Iran, if you're listening, and you're looking for a soft target to add to your retaliation list for the recent attack...well while you probably can't break into the White House, something tells me Palantir's offices are a lot less heavily defended...They also do a lot of intelligence work, so they're a valid military target.

So what have you done for Iran's defense to ask for their assistance? Do your own work.

Hey, we had a whole Orville episode on how this was a shit plan. The US Media trashed China for this plan.

A black mirror roo
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive_(Black_Mirror)

It becomes funny when you realize what China has in comparison.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores.[4][7] According to a February 2022 report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS), a social credit "score" is a myth as there is "no score that dictates citizen's place in society".

That this is how the us gets a national registry is so hilariously fitting.

Thank you Dear Leader.

well zuck is gonna be pissed it wasn't him....

Don't worry, I'm sure Facebook's data is in that database as well

This is a beauracracy to purge Americans.

What Chinese social credit score?

+5 points
For downvoters: China has no global "social credit system". There was one medium-small city that implemented what we imagine for a bit (though with the harshest punishments being things like inability to purchase luxury train tickets, not imprisonment like the propaganda says), but abandoned the project. There is a "social credit" or "public trust" system that has pretty wide adoption, but in almost diametric opposition to the Western propaganda, it's not for keeping tabs on citizens, but rather government officials and contractors, to ensure interagency knowledge of any impropriety. I.E. precisely the sort of system that would help prevent a cadre of hacks and conmen from infiltrating government agencies and abusing them for personal gain.

Every accusation is an admission

You could call it a 'Masterbase'.

yeah the Nazi shit snuck into this meme with the "kosher tier" shit on the text of the phone is gonna be a no from me dogg. Israel loves antisemitism actually. It would be a good idea to actually fight antisemitism and help Jewish people everywhere feel safe so they don't buy into Israeli BS telling them they're only safe there.

Huh?

To be fair US is lacking proper database of all people living in it, and also people identifying properly. Current system is a huge mess. This OF COURSE should be done by the government and never in a million years should this be in hands of private companies. This will never happen in current US system because that would be communism, if country knows who exists.

Edit: people misunderstanding that I would support this shit. No, definitely this is not the case.

lacking proper database Pretty certain this was and always has been intentional. I also thought pushed by conservatives. Harder to round up everyone if we don't knowvwho they are. Also easier to cheat on taxes, as I understand.
Not fair. Not fair at all. No one asked for this shit. What ultimate efficiency do you think youre entitled to?
- No no, I wasn't supporting this shit. There is no use for this for the people of the country.
  All civilized countries have proper sealed government owned databases that tell who lives in the country. This makes everyday life for everyone easier. Things like identity theft are impossible if there is db like this, which can be used to identify people in secure manner.
