    Good waste money with domestic bullshit and less money into foreign bloodshed.

            But how does deploying intelligence contractors to cities specifically impact people outside the US? People outside the US are being surveilled, for sure, but I don’t think there’s any difference before or after deploying a contractor to Portland or whatever.

                You have it entirely backwards. They were already facing outward, fascism is imperialist repression turned inward.

                Amerika’s chickens are coming home to roost.

                  Outwardly, they were restrained. You’ll see something new. Enjoy your shadenfreude, I hope it isn’t too short lived.

                  Your opinion makes as much sense in the context of 1934 Germany, as it does in today’s USA.

        American tech spying is nothing new, the elections in my country are already been impacted with american social media, wasting money to target usians for a change is still positive to me.

    This is just a taste of foreshadowing for when the government comes in with wads of cash to bail out the more loyal owners of AI datacenters when the bubble pops.

    It’ll all pivot to running the surveillance nightmare they’re already building.

      it’s not a pivot, it’s the primary goal – everything else is just the excuse for building it since they’ve learned that people are going to be demanding more as the capitalism further erodes into fascism.
