I figured out a way to cheaply reallocate my (Aussie) retirement funds to various indexes/ETF’s which exclude the USA entirely.

Would’ve done it 1.5 years ago if I knew the option were available. Investigate your options before Americas oligarchs loot your investments.

This article is actually disgusting, and feels like corporate propaganda to make the brand sound better than it is. It refers to % increases YoY after multiple years of high double-digit % losses, without any mention of how this compares to 2-5 years ago, or any possible reasons. Has Tesla reduced their prices significantly? Are tax benefits or discounts ending, creating a last minute surge?

The data viz starts in January ffs. Is Reuters owned by fascist-aligned billionaires?

Yes, the mental illnesses that fuel — and are cultivated by — fascism (ASPD, narcissism, psychopathy, etc) are a cancer that is terminal. It will continue to grow and metastasize to its logical conclusion unless it is removed. Like a virus or parasite, once it gets large enough it overwhelms the immune system and kills the host. Just look at policing and politics; once the criminals take over they form a cartel of extreme corruption that rewards the evil and destroys the good.

The current levels of selfishness and greed are ultimately incompatible with civilization, which is really just a multitude of intertwining and interdependent complex systems. Ants and bees don’t build their colonies through ruthless competition and fucking each other over. They build through cooperation and doing what’s best for the collective good. Talking apes will either learn this or we will kill the planet, and ourselves.

That would be a genuine bombshell.

Mostly because they have hundreds of billions in “loans” to corporations and then “forgave” them.

The same thing happened in every western “democracy”, and the people are paying for all that debt with 20-50% inflation in the cost of living, plus interest on the debt to the same people who got the handouts.

It’s called corruption and theft. There’s no freedom like the democracy of capitalist dictatorship.

If you think he’s bad, imagine how deeply mentally ill you have to be to support him.

It’s great how capitalism is allowed to profit from imperialism, genocide, mass surveillance, and wars of aggression huh?

Half the devs using AI have handed their critical thought over to it, so they’re already basically an AI model telling another AI model what to do.

It’s called fraud. Luckily the criminals are incorporated, therefore the state will protect them.

Your comments are far too arrogant for how completely ignorant they are.

You wanna know why I believed that America would become a fascist dictatorship 25 years ago? Because of combining my opinion of watching Fox News (considering it to be fascist propaganda) with raw stats, like Fox News being the #1 cable news network, with numerous other opinion polls proving that R’s perception of events were dependent on Fox propaganda, divergent from both reality and D/I opinions of reality. I knew R’s were the most propagandized population in America because other populations opinion polling did not change anywhere near as significantly over time, nor did it mirror the changing narratives of propaganda. These have been reinforced continuously by the vast majority of both polling and other raw stats since then.

In statistics, all data points are some abstract proxy that attempt to measure reality. They are not reality itself, and none of them can be trusted to provide some end all be all proof of reality. Even math itself is an abstract representation (language) we use to understand and communicate.

You can accept that wealthy Jews are the primary driver and financier of Israeli propaganda, without believing that their ethnicity or religion are inherently related. It’s not sexist to accept the reality that the majority of DV perpetrators are male.

I don’t believe for 1 second that religious indoctrination or zionism is the root cause of western support for Israels genocide. Capitals control of our political class and media are. Most of which are not zionists or jewish; just greedy corrupt sociopaths who are motivated by wealth and power above all else.

It isn’t just the anti-competitive walled gardens they all create. It’s also that our governments have completely abandoned their purpose and any semblance of opposition to corporate criminals.

They’re all free to plan obsolescence, bait and switch, enshittify, stop updating everything, or simply kill all software, firmware, and services at will for any reason. There are dozens of things that could have been done to prevent all their crimes… but again… we love in capitalist dictatorships that only exist to empower and protect capital.

The PC market has shrunk 80-90% in one year.

The cost of GPU’s and memory increased 5-10x in 1 year. What did you expect?

I wonder if the masses will ever realize they live under what is functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship*, with the illusion of democracy; no different to the USSR or PRC and the illusion of workers owning the means of production.

*You can vote for whomever you want… except the vast majority of the options at the state and federal level are groomed, pre-positioned, bribed, and bankrolled by the wealthiest 0.1%.

The Internet was fun for a time… in the beginning… then capitalism used it to implement fascism and enslave humanity.

It’s an axis of fascism. You can tell because of all the fascism.

Yeah, capitalism has wholly captured and groomed the worst of the political class to the state and federal level, and everyone’s still acting like the average politician is just some ineffective idealist, instead of a white collar criminal positioned because they were corrupt.

It’s like how people still default to “won’t someone think of the small businesses and competition” when regulations are mentioned. Everyone still acts like it’s the 50’s and we still have mom & pop style small businesses, when capitalism has already destroyed the lions share of small or family owned businesses, and achieved a functional-monopoly in every major industry.

The last century of corporate propaganda was a roaring success.

This is how it should be. The rate of immigration should be proportional to the investment in housing, infrastructure, and gov services. Importing people without increasing investment or efficiency just damages the quality of life and cost of living for the existing population… but it enriches our corporate dictators so is standard across the developed world.

This fascist fuck won’t do it though. He’s just a criminal trying to con idiots and racists, the same as every right wing politician on Earth.

The most important benefit is that a fascist dictatorship can’t brick all your governments computers because an incontinent pedophile got his feefees hurt.

If you think that’s far fetched, you have no idea how mentally-ill and psychopathic fascists are.
