So giant corporations should pressure democratically elected leaders to go against the policies that their people elected them for, to benefit foreign interests? And the person telling me this is somebody who has taken their username from an active terrorist organization who favors political violence to forward a socialist ideology. You might not be a member of such an organization, maybe just an admirer. I don't need to know, and probably the surveillance organizations we're talking about in this thread already know what they want to know.

And the motivation for all of this is that people would "not feel safe" by the threat of some word processing or spreadsheet software.

To me it seems that people here are doubling into themselves into the highest confusion.




I don't remember Elon Musk (who is obviously a fascist if you do any basic research on his recent history and family history) being on any ballots. I don't remember Trump campaigning on mass layoffs. I don't remember Trump campaigning on firing veterans. I remember Trump mocking other candidates for being warmongers. The mass deportations appear to be targeting free speech and skin colors and Ukrainians more than actual illegal immigrants and criminal immigrants. There is also the issue of skipping due process for these mass layoffs. Trump did not campaign on bringingback monarchy. Trump did not campaign on dismantling social security. Trump denied any interest in Project 2025. Trump sold a rugpull shitcoin right before inauguration. All evidence available shows that Trump is for sale to the highest bidder and has contempt for the constitution.

So no, these are not the policies that people voted for. These are policies that oligarchs cooked up.
