US Border czar warns there will be more ‘bloodshed’ unless Democrats ‘shut their mouths’
US descends into #Orwellian #authoritarian and #oppressive regime.
#Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has warned that there will be more “bloodshed” unless Democrats “shut their mouths.”
So similar to #Russia and other #violent, #bullying countries.

Downright #Evil Palantir
Peter #Thiel, one of 1st prominent #Trump supporters, known for declaring #freedom & #democracy are incompatible
It's named after the seeing stones (palantíri) from The Lord of the Rings: magical crystals that let their owners observe distant places
Palantir makes same promise:

In a true democracy you should have the #choice to not even turn upto the fucking #ballots, in a true #democracy a no show wouldn't be equal to a #fascist #oppressive fine.

@Theriac @noiseician #capitalism = #fascism
fascism = CAPITALISM
both are #rightwing #oppressive ideologies if you hadn't noticed it already?

@davevolek @robcinos why replace something #oppressive with something oppressive and #repressive?
#anarchism and #antifascism is a far superior #system to anything else and has existed for a very very long time.... -
Due to the greed of outsourcing, the #ukgovernment including local government does not have joined up computing.
Communication is fraught.
As illustrated by the debacle of the #oppressive one-login, each service has its own entry system, separate database, and possibly runs on an out of date operating system.
When the 'mainframe' was replaced by first mini-computers and then the PC, the uk descended into chaos.
Considerable consolidation and update is needed

Yall know the #patriarchy affects #men too right? Like It's not just #women, yes men benefit from the patriarchy. Yes they are also hurt by it, both can be true. Thats like the basics of #feminism I fear. We should focus on helping both #genders (and the ones outside of the binary) getting out from the #oppressive weight of the patriarchy not putting down men for literally anything they do and calling them "disgusting".

#Procreation is not a neutral act, it feeds both #patriarchy and #capitalism, strengthening the very #systems that #oppress and #exploit us. In this #world filled of inequality, environmental collapse and systemic violence, choosing not to reproduce becomes an act of #resistance. Refusing to bring new #life into this broken #society is not only a rejection of #oppressive institutions, but also a deeply #moral stance. Fight back. Choose non reproduction.

For #comedians around the world, the laughs often end as #democracy fades
#Trump diminishing space for #FreeSpeech shows Trump’s America is moving towards #authoritarianism. Senator Bernie Sanders, speaking to MSNBC, said the country was on a path towards becoming more like #oppressive #regimes in #Russia and #Saudi Arabia. “This is just another step forward,” he said.

#Check out : #Israel is a #democracy, perhaps in the way that all our so-called democracies evolve, more #authoritarian, more #oppressive, more #oligarchic, more #differential and #unequal - anyway #Israel is an #occidental #invention
« The next morning I left the festival and made my way from Ramallah to Jerusalem. I had to wait an extra hour or so for a taxi with the right color license plate, yellow, and so be allowed to cross through a checkpoint in Israel’s wall and onto the road to Jerusalem on the other side. I made small talk with my driver, then retreated back into my thoughts of the journey so far. It was my sixth day in Palestine, but I felt like I had been here for months. The days were filled with tours, the nights with talks—even the meals felt like seminars. Some of this is just being abroad somewhere far from home. But most of it was the specificity of this place—how much it seemed to embody the West and its contradictions, its claims of democracy, its foundations in exploitation. Of all the worlds I have ever explored, I don’t think any shone so bright, so intense, so immediately as Palestine.
But when the light cleared I had new eyes, and I could see my own words in new ways—and the words from which they were derived—the stories, columns, speeches, and talks presented by “willing intellectuals.” So much seemed obvious. I now noted a symmetry in the bromides—that those who claimed Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East were just as likely to claim that America was the oldest democracy in the world. And both claims relied on excluding whole swaths of the population living under the rule of the state. Riding in that taxi toward Jerusalem, the truth of this struck me as undeniable. I’d spent most of my time in the Occupied Territories, a world of minority rule. But even in the state proper, caste reigned. Palestinians living in Israel have shorter lives, are poorer, and live in more violent neighborhoods. Certain neighborhoods in Israel are allowed to discriminate legally against Palestinian citizens by setting “admission committees.” The committees, operating in 41 percent of all Israeli localities, are free to bar anyone lacking “social suitability” or “compatibility with the social and cultural fabric.” Openly racist appeals are the norm, as when Benjamin Netanyahu warned in 2015 that “the right-wing government is in danger. Arab voters are heading to the polling stations in droves.” For all my talk of being fooled by the language of “Jewish democracy,” it had been right there the whole time. The phrase means what it says—a democracy for the Jewish people and the Jewish people alone. »Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

The first Tweet from #Netanyahu's office is from 2018, when #Israeli snipers were massacring #Gazan protesters during the March of Return. The second is from now, after his #oppressive plans have brought #Israel into its worst crisis in decades.

"I think now is a good time to have a bit of #revolutionary #optimism. If you are a young #person basically anywhere in the #world, there is a very real chance that you will outlive your #government. If #capitalism isn’t overthrown in the next few decades, it will almost surely collapse due to its inherently unsustainable #nature. If you ever feel like there’s no hope, just know that things will #change. Stuff will still suck because that’s what stuff does, but the #oppressive and #authoritarian #systems we have in place now can not survive the #future."
