There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

I think if people have problems with ads, they should do what I do, which is report all of them. Straight up just put it as spam, misinformation, whatever. Just report it and flood their system.
If everyone did the same with their traffic tickets, that system would also come crashing down.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The problem I have with Gen AI isn't the use case or potential for errors, although those problems exist.
The problem is we have once again outsourced something to private corporations to fill billionaire pockets for a less effective product than existing ones built in-house (NIPRGPT, CamoGPT).

this is why liberals won't call for actual consequences. nothing trump is doing is something we didn't spend two decades doing throughout the middle east, central asia and africa during the war on terror. it's just that trump brags about it on social media too much

I'm just flabbergasted that the best excuse a 4-star GOFO could come up with for a war crime was "they were gonna flip the boat we just bombed and keep trying to sail 2000 miles to deliver drugs."
The old man has clearly never had to give a valid explanation in his life.

Lmao this admiral has spent over 3 decades in the shadows of NSW/SOCOM and doesn't know how to take accountability, so he's doing the ole "he's coming right for us!" South Park bit.
Maybe if he actually served in the normal Navy, he wouldn't be so cavalier about bombing shipwrecked people.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Fine, then put the JSOC commander on trial.
He should be on trial anyways for his part. He was either following (illegal) orders or decided to order the murder of noncombatants himself.
It's not that hard to deal with war crime-tier activities, people.

President Trump said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not give a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea in September.
Trump says Hegseth denied issuing order to kill boat crew
The president also said he would not have wanted a second strike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs, which occurred after U.S. forces realized the initial attack left two survivors, as The Post report...

PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

The hilarious thing about the unsuccessful air campaign against the Houthi rebels is that it was in support of US Navy ships that kept getting shot at, thus making a huge blow to the egos of both air and naval fetishists.

Also did we not have months of airstrikes in Yemen across multiple administrations trying to coerce the Houthis a year ago so why would this work out differently?

I feel like left/liberal discourse in both the UK and US (and presumably many other countries) would be healthier if more people realised “I will not vote for this party out of principle, but it would be better if they won” is an entirely coherent, and respectable, position
