Discussion about the 5th gen war
IoT is one of those things that could be incredibly awesome - IF it was built on open protocols, open standards etc. in the same way the WWW is.
The IoT would be incredibly awesome outside of the personal home, so work and public spaces. At home it would be a major vulnerability/opportunity to exploit for criminals, governments and big business.
@Bozza Thank you for the link, I will watch it over the weekend.
I think the time for conversation is over. They killed it.
Literally, right? There was a level of trust that a conversation could take place between two opposing world views. That two ideas could contend with each other and be hashed out in a civil way.
It should have been pure condemnation and disavowal of Charlie Kirk's murder. No if, no but, no why. The instantaneous excuse making, celebration and debate bro sophistry won't repair the bridge.
Crazy fucking times, man.
@Stigma what he doesn't get, is that his side had misused and abused the words "Nazi", "fascist", "racist", "____phobe", etc so much over the years that the words lost their power with us, but their constant insistence that people like Trump, Musk, and Kirk are "an existential threat to our democracy" and "far-right" and "fascist" who "must be stopped by any means necessary" has radicalized their youth and justified in their eyes the use of violence. This has us taking those words very seriously again, because of the threat against us.
If they'll murder a moderate, kind person who just wanted conversation like Charlie Kirk (worse, his side has been reveling in the death of Charlie Kirk like a bunch of demonic ghouls), a man who was quite mild compared to men like most of the men on this site, then where does that leave us?
For example, if I get into an automobile collision and have to be hospitalized, and one of my nurses is a blue-haired freak with a septum ring, what assurance do I have that she won't poison my IV if she discovers my political leanings? She'll see it as justified, even a good thing, to murder a "fAsCiSt' such as myself.
Charlie Kirk just wanted to discuss ideas and have open dialog, and lefties murdered him for it and reveled in his death.

it now accurately describes
“It” being “Nazi”.
I asked you plainly, yes or no. You referred me back the your first response, in which the words you provided lead me to infer whether you believe violence is justified.
I’m quite confident in my assessment but you’re free to correct me at anytime!

Careful not to go too far into the weeds after some Grand Population Control theory.
I don't think there's necessarily some grand conspiracy. More different interests intersecting that serve the same goal.
Governments don't particularly like the internet. The fact that "inconvenient" information can be quickly spread across the populace isn't something they are particularly happy about.
The normies have been calling for the internet to be sanitised for while now, and that gives governments are great excuse to do so.
Tech companies are more than happy with that direction of travel. They are the only ones who can afford to comply with a lot of these onerous legal requirements, which further cements their dominance. They're also uniquely positioned to implement ID checking etc. and sell that as a service.

Careful not to go too far into the weeds after some Grand Population Control theory. IoT is getting captured and enshittified by corporations and Venture Capital toward a goal of Rent Seeking.
Louis Rossman has posted tons of good material on the topic, from a repairman/tech Bro POV.

There you stand then, on the hill that says "There are my enemies, and violence is permitted!"
The fuck is this start with a cartoon, then put whatever words you feel like in the mouth of someone who comments on it game you are trying to play?

@Typo-MAGAshiv If they had left the guy's social media up we'd have a clearer picture. I can't know for a fact, and probably, as it happens in these cases, we never will. Peoplemostly judge by political affiliation, but I have none.
Anyway, that's why I have been insisting they the common enemy is the female sexual strategy and its facilitators. It goes beyond" politics", and it affects us all.
