Turns out a piece of paper means nothing if nobody does what it says. Who woulda thought?

The US is an active participant, making hundreds of billions in weapons sales to perform the genocide. Without US support and weapons, there may have been no genocide.

That's irrelevant. What's relevant is the point — to completely delegitimize the government, the legal, and justice system... Only king Trump can decree what's true!

Conservative ideology relies on conservatives getting elected to prove the government is incompetent. If they weren't able to sabotage it, it wouldn't be incompetent.

Which it also didn't do. Nobody "trusts" "big Pharma". They trust doctors, scientists, and the regulatory bodies that oversee them.

You can't self host SMS or telephony voice. All of your clients contain proprietary code and zero days that could easily be exploited by a state actor.

If you ever go completely radio silent, then you're more likely to be manually investigated as you are a statistical anomaly to the mass surveillance algorithms.

I'd argue the US for-profit health insurance system is state sanctioned terrorism of the civilian population, for profit.

What greater way to terrorize a population than to deny them and their families healthcare, under the threat of bankruptcy? How about the threat of bankruptcy either way, whether they're insured or not?

The industry kills 30x 9/11 every year, bankrupts 500k, while stealing 500-700 billion from the population (compared to the public systems of the developed world). At the very least, it's financial terrorism and extortion.

The oligarchs want fascism. What more could a sociopath capitalist want than a fusion of their corporations and the state; a state sanctioned too-big-to-fail monopoly that is protected and enforced by the military, with socialized losses, yet privatized profits?

Competition is for chumps, and nothing more than a self serving virtue signal they will abandon for higher profits; like all the other virtues they never possessed.

Replace "GOP" with "corporate oligarchy" and you're getting it!

Because the rest of the world is ruled by a fossil fuel led plutocracy...

So it's like MAGA, except the colossal douche just oversees a FOSS project? LMAO

90% of Dem politicians are bought and paid for by corporations/oligarchs too. If you believe they're not, you're part of the problem.
