'speech' is just what modern king wannabes use to claim they are above anyone else, including a sovereign state's laws. People like Elon, Trump, Putin all want to be above any law or form of responsibility.

25 years of organized propaganda (fox news, talk radio, etc.). I live amongst Trump supporters, they truly believe prices will come down and they will make more money.

Unfortunately all of conservatism is basically about how accountability for your actions is bad. Even their literal accounts, they don't pay. So you ain't never seeing that ticket money lol.

I don't know exactly what to call it and I don't want to sound like my agenda is just anti-capitalism. For a brief, 250yr period, humanity (not all, but enough of) valued science and reasoned law as the highest, most advanced expressions of our civilization. The enlightenment age brought about modernity as we know it based on science and liberal law (no kings above the law). Now we've devolved back to every nation basically establishing new oligarchich aristocracies no law can touch (the historic normal), and it's definitely too late to correct course. No untouchable nobilities or kings will save this realm. So yeah, the great filter in my view is about letting elites be accountable to no one, with no interest other than accretion, rule things into the ground. And yeah that's the broad gist of my point about a pretty broad theory. Most think the great filter as an asteroid or nuke. For me it's runaway elitism that probably ends most civilizations which is why there's no one out there.

I believe a mix of runaway elitism + ecological devastation is the Great Filter. We're at our great filter and definitely will not overcome considering the galactic evidence.

you mean the wars started by Trump allies once he had helped them? why are Putin and Netanyahu so close to Trump?

It's easier said than done: make the untouchables pay.

Grim reality is the untouchables will continue to rule with absolute greed while climate change drives us into pockets of extremism where we kill each other.

All this shit is literally straight out of the Putin playbook. Take control of the courts, take control of what is legal, take control of elections. Republicans were always too dumb and incompetent to be anything but pawns of a better organized evil.

The Christian Caliphate was birthed today, and Trump will be supreme Ayatollah

[-] bashbeerbash@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Welp. The Supreme Clergy that now rules what used to be the US has established King Trump as the leader of the Christian Caliphate that's coming. Conservatives are gonma love living in the white version of Iran.

for reference this same move of getting immunity from a fixed court was also huge for cementing the Chavez and Putin regimes in Venezuela and Russia.

[-] bashbeerbash@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

This is the bottom line plan. The end of the nation state of law and the beginning of corporate nationhood. Just like democracies replaced monarchies, the supreme clergy is now ushering the new age of corporate states. Corporate nationhood is modern monarchy, which goes hand in hand with the Christian Caliphate they are also building.
