  • Intel is one of Israel's largest private sector employers, about 10k people, which is a third as large a workforce as the largest employer, a bank. They cut 3000 employees there in the last several years as a result of their issues...

  • To be fair this is the opposite.

  • But socialism is bad right?

  • This is literally why the religious right in the US is so ecstatic about the whole thing- they're setting the whole world up to want to root for the outcome that they're striving for- the end of days as prophesied. It's working flawlessly.

  • Nerds.

  • They do need to do this though. Survival of the fittest. The best model gets more energy access, etc.

  • Not as far fetched as you'd think. If you were an alien trying to sort of pass as human whilst implementing a military dictatorship what would you do differently?

  • I was unaware that it was unclear to anyone but children and the intellectually behind that anything you do on the Internet is traceable to you without significant countermeasures.

  • Uh ...

  • It's "martial"

  • Ok I think people are missing the point here. This is the pretext to send ICE door to door to interrogate people, and you'd better believe they'll be asking about political affiliation, sexual orientation, etc...

  • Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that's what they would be doing right now.

  • Moreover, a violent revolution was never achieved without the attendant political and logistical organization. So regardless of eventual character, the method of building a movement remains the same. Unfortunately it's boring, difficult work that leaves the most active most vulnerable to reprisals. Which is why people like Fred Hampton and Harvey Milk and Berta Cáceres are all so important and also ended up with their brains splattered on their beds/office floors etc.

  • I think it's more likely a test for the remaining, formerly Republican but essentially democracy-minded constitution worshipping government employees, military personnel etc. to see who speaks up (or at all) about it. For example if a mid level general starts making noise in a channel that Trump's minions have access to, saying they don't like what's going on and someone should do something and if they don't maybe I will- boom, loyalty tested. Similar with media talking heads etc. it's easy to assume these people are stupid or careless - they often act that way, and in some ways fundamentally are. But I doubt this was anything other than deliberate bait. You have to ask yourself, for whom? Why? Why now?

  • At least the Mormons are basically communists. Insular, tribe-only, intolerant communists but communists none the less.

  • Tax strike. Immediately.

  • Not that many steps really.

  • Measured in mm.
