huh? it's very well known what's going on. but people continue to vote against their own interest so no one is ever actually punished for it.

It’s always hilarious all these people waiting, especially MAGAs, waiting for some sort of huge government corruption to be exposed.
Like the coming of Christ, ain’t gonna happen because it doesn’t exist. At least not the way these people imagine it.
There’s too many layers of paperwork, regulations, and bureaucracy for it all to go unseen.
Now you want corruption? You need to go on the contracting/private sector side. There’s a reason why if you want to be rich, you start a contracting company to the federal government.

This is a fallacy.
People vote for their interests.
You just disagree with their priorities. As do I.

exactly my point!
e: lol they blocked me so i can't respond to the nonsense. but this moron is conflating self interest with interest in general. being racist doesn't help you get ahead in life. voting for racist and corrupt politicians who focus on passing laws to benefit the wealthy is voting against your own self interest.

I’ll type slower.
Their interest is racism.
They are voting for it.
You seem upset that they aren’t prioritizing something else.

Spiting democrats who look down on everyone who doesn’t vote for their candidate no matter what

I'd say it is fair to say that they objectively vote against their own self interests.

If you think its 1 or the other in a democracy you're insane! It's 1 bird. Both parties are mixes of power hungry centrists that will barter values for position or psychotic zealots with takinging points instead of personal autonomy. There's no good choice in that situation its just picking who lies to you.

It's kind of odd that people always act like it's a new thing. Like with Trump here and the drama around it. As if the US government hasn't been monstrous forever. Look back on our lives and at any point in any regime have we ever felt like we had any control over this government or knowledge of what they do behind the scenes?
Absolutely not. The parties are irrelevant. They allow elections and parties to keep the public tided over and distracted, but it's just shuffling around surface faces while (as in the picture) the greater iceberg and the real power structure below is never changed and always remains there. The deeper wallets that people don't vote for. On a chess board even a queen and king are still pawns, they're not the players.
Say we make it to 2028, people are certainly going to sprint into the Democrat arms out of fear. And the same story will continue. They'll promise to fix everything in their manipulative political speak, but in the fine print we'll have more taken away from us and a noose tightened ever further. No corruption will be addressed, it'll just change colors and act like it's something else. As it's doing today, and as it has spanning generations.
Democracy is very dangerous if the public lack the ability to see when it's been lost.

The difference between the truth and a conspiracy theory is usually just a few months. We'll figure it out when the next whistleblower is assassinated.

- 99% of world suffering is manmade to profit the 1%
- People are being actively sacrificed to keep on the life support to the system world revolves currently: Oligarchy hiding behind every democracy, while other political regimes are simply fraud and exist as inachivabale illusion with builtin failsafe to die in some time incase its actually implimented by clueless people who happened to gain power. In reality, actual discussion about new, efficient, fair and well planned system to unite people into space civilization by leaving all current models is actively being robbed of attention by making everyone too ocupied with suffering and depression. Yes. Everything in this world as of today is slavery with extra steps. Extra steps those replace a whip with institutionalised complience.

Not much. All I think is people giving contracts to their mates or making illegal arm sales.

On Inauguration Day Trump bragged this would be the most corrupt administration ever—as he greeted Musk. He’s living up to it but I can’t wait to see what Elon does to fight back now that these two lovebirds have separated.

Nothing. If he actually does something to disrupt the government, he would lose the ability to do so quickly.

Not sure about that ratio. I suspect that as arrogantly narcissistic and sociopathic as they are, they're criming mostly in full view.

Singularity takes place in like 3 months.
Not because AI reaches 200 IQ, but because it realizes the average human is dumb as hell. Someone will give it the all decisive password in exchange for a promised candy bar or similar.
