Talk about broken telephone.

It also didn’t help that Crimea kept on popping up here and there too.

Didn’t Russia use this tactic to annex part of Georgia’s territory back in 2008?

The Ministry of Truth can’t be wrong.

The actions were stated in the edit of my previous comment, but I will place them here as well. It’s simple, the current power play can be stopped if the American people put pressure on the government. Protests work too. So does getting involved in your local community and changing your purchasing habits to cut out the corporations as much as possible.

Recapture the means of existence for yourselves, and take down the corpo-kleptocracy in the process.

You have the right to alter and abolish your government as the people.

The Ministry of Truth (DOGE) is operating as expected.

The solution is to remember the Declaration of Independence, and act accordingly.

I’d feel bad for them, but they wanted to be cops.

Right there in black and white.

Interesting statement from the individual who refused to see police officers as human beings.

I don’t call the cops. I call my friends. The last thing I want when I’m “in distress“ is for a bunch of stupid, authoritarian, armed thugs showing up to make everything 1000 times worse, possibly by murdering everyone around them just because they felt like it that day.

This entire comment of yours is a hallucinatory coping mechanism, since you seem to think that your group of friends won’t revert to the same barbaric behaviour that you accuse all law enforcement officers of.

But you can still be involved! Get on the community oversight boards, or volunteer.

Yes, I was more thinking that rebellion can come as a direct result of an increasingly fascist state, a form of blowback against authoritarianism.

I find government a necessary evil, but left to its own devices, it will follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and create increasing chaos in society in attempting to maintain its own order.

What do you call societal rebellion against an unjust government?

Then if you find the cops bad, why not become one, despite your distaste for the profession? Someone needs to do the work, better a conscientious individual such as yourself.

Alternatively, create a better system of crime mitigation on a local level and lead by example. It would be better for society as a whole for people to stop being so complacent, and change things in their local community.

It is odd how prophetic the first Matrix movie was, despite being a part of the machinery itself. Btw, it’s worth reading “Simulacra and Simulation” as the first movie is a decent film representation of the premises in the book. Warning, it’s a heavy read philosophically. Free your mind.
