And as for the definition of woke, woke has one purpose only, one purpose, plenty of pre-texts but only one purpose, control: it is designed to divide people by race by gender by ethnicity by religion by vaccine status and any other way that they can divide people into groups because why then you can justify having a government to control all those groups no more woke we need freedom." #OrgCARadioTVAndTelecomsCommissionCRTC #CatchcryDivision #CatchcryFreedomOfSpeechFreeSpeech #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #PhenomnCensorshipOfSocialMedia #PowerControlRegulation #CatchcryBigGovernment

"I think um technology is this incredible alternative to politics and uh and you know there are a number of different technologies we can outline but the the task in this world where politics has become so broken and so dysfunctional is to find a way to escape from it it's not a way to fix it is a way to escape and uh there are you know a number of different options I think the uh the promising one of the 1990s and this last decade has been to escape onto the Internet and to sort of create an alternate virtual reality uh questions of course is still how does it intersect with the real world there are I think escaping to outer space um is a promise uh although I think the space technology is not quite there so I think that's sort of for the second half of the 21st century I think we can try to uh you know create autonomous countries on oceans underwater all sorts of other spaces but I think technology is the vehicle for how we should um we should be looking to uh to escape and move beyond uh beyond politics as we find it today um I want to uh offer two quick thought two basic thoughts and then open it a little bit of discussion and debate on um the limits of this so I sort of one thought on um a caveat to this technology as an alternative and then end with the caveat to the caveat so the big caveat to uh technology as a standalone autonomous force is that politics is going to try to stop it and I think we should not underestimate the degree to which there is a race in our society between politics and technology and it's an very open question whether technology is going to succeed on its own in escaping from the black hole of politics or whether uh somehow the system will collapse in on itself and I think you know I think actually the correct in a sense attitude...

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMarkOConnell "If you're interested in the end of the world, you would have been interested, soon after Donald Trump's election as US president, to read a New York Times headline stating that Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, considered New Zealand to be 'the Future'. Because if you are in any serious way concerned about the future, you're also concerned about Thiel, a canary in capitalism's coal mine...
...he didn't like how they wrote about him; he is known for his public musings about the incompatibility of freedom and democracy, and for expressing interest - as though enthusiastically pursuing the clunkiest possible metaphor for capitalism at its most vampiric - in a therapy involving transfusions of blood from young people as a potential means of reversing the ageing process. But in another, deeper sense, he is pure symbol: less a person than a shell company for a diversified portfolio of anxieties about the future, a human emblem of the moral vortex at the centre of the market.
And the overwhelming suspicion was that he was looking for a rampart to which he could retreat in the event of outright civilisational collapse.
Because this is the role that New Zealand now plays in our unfurling cultural fever dream: an island haven amid a rising tide of apocalyptic unease." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/15/why-silicon-valley-billionaires-are-prepping-for-the-apocalypse-in-new-zealand #OtheringOutGroupPrepperSurvivalist #ToponymOceaniaNewZealand #BrandOpenAISamAltman #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticism #NarrativeUtopia

Despite this all being very predictable stuff, the app has been getting a lot of attention for three reasons: 1) the ads are unintentionally hilarious, 2) it was co-founded by former Trump administration officials and Ryann McEnany, the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, is the app's spokesperson; 3) creepy Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been called 'the most important person in Silicon Valley', has invested $1.5m into the project." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/04/want-to-date-a-hot-rightwinger-sick-of-all-that-woke-nonsense-ive-just-the-app-for-you #TechServiceRightStuffApp [?] #PleaPronouns #IRLPersonalityInternetRyannMcEnany #IRLCommentatorKayleighMcEnany

"Something odd is going on here, and I will tell you this, climate change, that is the new talking point that is going to fear monger society. That is what is being utilized by the matrix. They are coming out and climate change is their baby, they want their 15-minutes cities - 'oh, perfect little little cities created for quarantine just in case another pandemic comes' - Andrew Tate (?) is now going against that talking point. That is the means by which they get to control you. Climate change is the means by which they are going to try to get digital IDs, and electric cars, and all of these mechanisms by which they can control you with a button and here's this guy who's got a big following coming out and criticizing the face of that movement who's Greta Thunberg. And suddenly, everybody's at his house."

"Again, as was eloquently and forcefully said by Daniel Webster in the U. S. Senate in 1834:
'The first object of a free people is the preservation of their liberty, and liberty is only to be preserved by maintaining constitutional restraints and just division of political power. Nothing is more deceptive or more dangerous than the pretense of a desire to simplify government. The simplest governments are despotisms; the next simplest, limited monarchies; but all republics, all governments of law, must impose numerous limitations and qualifications of authority and give many positive and many qualified rights. In other words, they must be subject to rule and regulation. This is the very essence of free political institutions. The spirit of liberty is, indeed, a bold and fearless spirit; but it is also a sharp-sighted spirit: it is a cautious, sagacious, discriminating, far-seeing intelligence; it is jealous of encroachment, jealous of power, jealous of man. It demands checks; it seeks for guards; it insists on securities; it entrenches itself behind strong defenses, and fortifies itself with all possible care against the assaults of ambition and passion. It does not trust the amiable weaknesses of human nature, and, therefore, it will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits, though benevolence, good intent, and patriotic purpose come along with it. Neither does it satisfy itself with flashy and temporary resistance to illegal authority. Far otherwise. It seeks for duration and permanence; it looks before and after; and, building on the experience of ages which are past, it labors diligently for the benefit of ages to"
