We all know that watching people makes them behave differently, so why does TechCrunch feel the need to remind me of that right now in particular?

Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on

Penis Jigsaw, at your service

“Oh yeah well it’s not happening every day” dude it’s fine that there are groups of people in the US who fear execution by their government who you forgot about. Nobody remembers everyone all the time, but it’s weird to get argumentative and start moving goalposts about it.

The content grind comes for all

Black Panthers, BLM organizers, anti ICE protestors

Something which the good people at Radio Free Asia is totally real and definitely happens

Allow me to facetiously talk about the US the way people from this country typically talk about the DPRK:

How do we know they don’t kill hundreds of thousands of protestors a year? The repressive government regime hides any information that makes it look bad, such as job reports, climate reports, and war casualties. They’ve got concentration camps all over and people dissappear all the time. There’s just no way we can trust their numbers.

Love the weird scale of threat depicted here.

-smol bean megacorporation

-regular bean fbi man

-Big Hacker, the big hacker lobbyist

-giant evil FOREIGNER with their evil UNIFORM and MEDALS

-ect, other guys, artist kind of blew his load drawing all those evil medals

Like the scale implies I should be most worried about the biggest guy, but I live in America. The feds are the biggest threat to me. You can tell this wasn’t drawn by a leftist because…well, almost everything, but mostly because of how normal they seem to think the FBI is, and how small a deal being spied on by them apparently is compared to being spied on by someone that doesn’t have the capacity to send a death squad to my apartment at any moment.

“Noo don’t look at the executions of billionaires and corrupt officials, they’re fake! Better things aren’t possible! I’m not listening lalalala you’re a simp.”

This whole extended liberal tantrum about the existence of anarchists has fascinatingly mirrored the process of a new anti-imperialist society having the propaganda narrative coalesce around it

Every time this happens we gain new comrades while filtering out the worst of the insufferable reddit stereotypes to the reddit instances, thus keeping the rest of the fediverse clean. We are like mussel colonies filtering out fedora behavior. You’re welcome.

They call me the Fastest Mute in the West

Opening Hexbear is gonna be like the lib version of opening the cursed mummy’s tomb

Ah yes, the sinister Chinese. Even when they’re doing something good, they’re secretly doing something bad

Doxxed & boxxed

Something something european democracy something something bulwark against Russian Chinese authoritarianism, something something east german stasi

Such hollow, opportunistic rehtoric from people and governments who are doing the exact same things they accuse others of. Germany in particular, with it’s to-the-hilt support of Israel’s genocide, does not seem to have learned it’s lesson.
