To be fair, American democracy was replaced with corporate Government a long long time ago.

Shut down and delete your data on your US tech accounts. Their business's are worthless without our accounts.

It's a process, start today! With the easy ones and work towards the hard ones.

Everyone needs to GTFO facebook. We can hardly do it because every other HOA and School PTA is there, but we get stop using messenger and stop having personal discussions over there.

Don't accept it when organizations require you to sign up and hand over personal information to private and commercial third parties. Requiring Facebook is an active attempt at curbing participation.

Wait, corporate government, like in cyberpunk?

I'm reading the Sprawl trilogy along with Shelved By Genre, and Gibson harps on the note that 'the Ultra Rich aren't human', and has some great examples in the books.

I think he was very observant, and Musk makes it so blatant.

Basically. I mean there's a bit more to it than that but it's the core idea. It's also the goal of several tech oligarchs which is why he doesn't want the peons to be able to talk about it.

Next Reddit will start banning you for upvoting anything about it.

Please share this document far and wide. People need to understand what's going on, to stop it.

This man has a bunker and everything. He's scared shitless and he is ready to hide. Their assets need to be seized and accounts drained

That's not a joke, ALL these dudes have extensive doomsday prep. Secure facilities, staffed and stocked. There's a ton of reporting on it. They're gonna fare a LOT better than we are if shit gets really outta hand. Unless we do something about them before it gets to that point, anyway.

Edit: added a detail

Oh, this is the 15-minute cities they’re scared of.

Fucking insane how these people twist a good idea in to something evil, then support the evil version of that idea.

Welcome to Facebook the capital of Meta country, jokes aside, they are banning because it's a long term thing and they are scared of it derailing if too many people know.
