And many, many more are going to follow, as Americans learn that they’re no longer free to criticize those in power.
And the day will actually come when the notion of someone just being fired for criticizing those in power will seem quaint, since it will then be far more likely that they’ll disappear - sucked up into the ever-hungry maw of the corporate police state slave system.
Currently playing through Cyberpunk just to have some kind of preparation of what is eventually to come.
Well, the Swedes already invented nerve splicing IRL, so you can go chop chop on your limbs and get a prothesis that’s directly connected to your bones and nerves.
Cyberpunk future will look good compared to where we’re probably headed if history is any indication.
Yeah, we’ll get all of the surveillance, climate disaster and police state without any of the cool implants…
Same! Though, I really wish monowires existed in real life.
Monofilament wire is a real thing, it just doesn’t have the tensile strength to act like it does in fiction.
Be that as it may, I meant it doesn’t exist as it does in the game. It stands as my absolute favorite thing in CP 2077. It is- by far, the most elegant way to turn one big one into several little ones.
😀
(I’ve run a few monowire/knife only builds with no combat quickhacks. Probably the most fun I’ve had in the game)
By far my favourite time killer in cyberpunk is to use the monowire to control NPC cars like a chariot, stand on the roof and hit one side and the NPC turns the other way
ROFL! I had no idea that was a thing!!
If you like Mono-filiment whips you should read the Paratwa trilogy by Chrisopher Hinz… it’s about assassins that have 1 mind in 2 bodies, thus more eyes and coordination skills. They train from early childhood to use these Black eggs that extrude a monofilament whip… it take years to control them so they don’t whip about and cut yourself to pieces.
Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you! I’ll look into it!
you could also read Burning Chrome…
If we can’t criticize them openly then we’ll have to use the other avenues made available via the Constitution. That will just eliminate the warning that negative public sentiment would normally give.
Are you referring to solutions that lie somewhere between the first and third amendment?
All whole numbers in the solution set would suffice…
This is the way.

I have been thinking I need to buy a gun, now that you mention it.
I’m not a gun owner. Never had even an ounce of desire to be one.
It’s time.
This is how you become a firefighter without going through vigorous training.
Or an assembly line worker.
Or, quite possibly, it just struck me - a fruit picker or meat packer or motel maid or any of the other jobs that have traditionally been filled by undocumented immigrants.
Wow…
Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that before, but that could well be why Trump is seemingly unconcerned about the economic impact of deporting the millions of people who have traditionally held the shitty, underpaid jobs nobody else will take - because the plan is to replace them with the new generation of private prison slaves…
The economic impact of the economy collapsing is that normal people will lose everything and the 0.1% will be able to buy it all up on the cheap.
Just like the subprime mortgage/Wall Street bailouts scam.
Summary
Meteorologist Sam Kuffel, who criticized Elon Musk’s “Nazi” salute on social media, has left CBS affiliate WDJT-TV. Her departure has sparked criticism from users who argue it infringes on her freedom of expression.
They should know that you can only infringe the “conservative” freedom of expression by moderating hate speech/ideas/beliefs, or by calling a Nazi a Nazi. Anyone Left of Nazi in the US has a narrowing window of “freedom of expression”.
Because as we all know, the founders were granting Freedom of Speech to Fascist, NOT ANTIFA, just like Jesus wanted. /s
Freedom of expression means that you are free from interference from the state. Never mind that we live in a de facto corporatocracy, freedom of expression does not prevent you from being silenced by private enterprise.
You’re confusing freedom of speech with the first amendment.
I just can’t understand how some people can stand behind this and defend it. If a major news station is either being forced or did this themselves, than I just don’t know what to think of this.
Denial and misinformation
The Nazi police state is here.
Is that station owned by Sinclair?
Oddly, no.
Cool = CBS blocked, I don’t support Nazi’s
CBS affiliate, which means its a local station. Milwaukee, specifically.
Probably owned by Sinclair
Wisconsin is a piece of shit so that doesn’t surprise me
I don’t split hairs, CBS is CBS.
I mean, you’re not wrong.

It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS
Wow…. It’s like he’s reading for the role of a 1980’s corpo-villain where a rag-tag group of teenagers have to use their movie-thematic skills to overcome his cartoonish villainy.
Coming soon to theatres near you: it’s C(eo)BS.
What’s even sadder is this was all the way back in 2016. They showed us who they are and whose side they’re on a long time ago.
Yup. They absolutely did.
It almost makes me want to see them lose the lawsuit Trump filed just out of karma. Almost.
Speaking of Nazis, we don’t pluralize with apostrophe.
It takes a lot of courage to speak out against fascists in power. Not enough Germans did it and look what happened.
If you’re a good person, you probably don’t want to work for a corporation that enables fascists. Hope this person finds a better employer.
Send those same words here. You put that quite well, and they need to hear it from as many of us as possible.
Obeying in advance. Our “news” media are despicable
This just in: Members of the news no longer allowed to report on the news. Stay tuned as this story devel…
… wait, where are you taking me?
Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
Looks like team anti cancel culture can’t help themselves again.
Freeze peach.
It’s good to reach out to WDJT-TV (DJT huh?) and tell them they are cowards. It’s also good to reach out via her public social media and let Sam Kuffel know that what she did has support.
This is honestly really scary. Why should someone’s livelihood be ruined for calling something what it is?

Fascism.
He’s also on a list for when their squads start knocking down doors and murdering their enemies, I guarantee it.
He’s probably got at least another year before that frog is boiled enough though. Hope he enjoys it.

The Neoliberals too have been using exactly the same technique to crush dissent, since it gives them plausible deniability (i.e. they claim it was for some other reason than silencing somebody) which is the essence of how they apply Force (people aren’t violently made to do or stop doing something, they’re just pushed into a situation were they have no other option or see the example of what happens to others when they don’t comply)
A specifically Fascist method would’ve involved violent use of Force, for example arrest or her being violently attacked on the street, rather than indirect methods like this firing.
Let’s not leave the other Far-Right ideology of the hook just because their methods are are better PR-wise: their disempowering of the many and subversion of all the pillars of Democracy helped pave the way for the Fascists.
Where are all the far right freezy peachers to protest this firing? Did they suddenly turn woke?
They’re too busy arguing that Elon didn’t actually perform either Nazi salute he very clearly performed on video.
And I’m not joking.
Boy it’s great we don’t have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
