It's amazing how Trump, a man who has never had a single successful business in his life, has been successful in intimidating much more successful businesses.
I will be damned if he does not go down in history as the most accomplished conman in history. Forget about the people who invented the Brooklyn Bridge scam (ever heard the expression 'if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you'? That's where it came from) or the guy who sold the Effel Tower, or Ponzi, or whatever. Trump demolishes all other conmen in how he managed to time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again fool so many people into giving him their money for his failed ideas, but also told them to eat shit all the way and told them to kiss his ass harder next time he comes along to demand money for more failed businesses.
In that end he is remarkably competent. The only thing he is good at.
Capitalism is a system that naturally filters out empathy. Capitalism is pure exploitation. It promotes the most narcissistic, cunning, ruthless, and psychopathic to rise through its ranks.
They're eager to appease. They all want to be giant corrupt monopolies and are thrilled at being given the opportunity by the tv gameshow host.
They know if they don't take our political power away, we will eventually dismantle and regulate their tech empires.
I don't think it's Trump at all. Who did Musk have suddenly contact with before veering far right? Who had several meetings with Trump in his first term that no-one was allowed to record? And who is waging a cyberwar of misinformation and propaganda right out of "Foundation of Geopolitics" since at least 2014?
It's Putin. Trump is just the smokescreen. He tries to achieve globally what he did in Russia, aligning all oligarchs under himself with the promise of even more obscene riches. And with the US the first domino has fallen for good. Next he will try to destroy the EU (Brexit was only the trial run).
At this point, only China might put him in check and they will only do it if it helps their own plans of global domination (they seem to prefer a soft approach for now). A truly united EU might also help, but I don't have a lot of hope for that.
I think he was unexpectedly successful in winning the 2016 election.
I also think that by mid 2017 "his" administration had built up collection of "advisors" who have been increasingly calling the shots since then. They give him "on brand" scripts to read, but he's not personally orchestrating much of anything.
Capitalism
Don’tbe evil.wow such enthusiastic ass kissers. "Am I kissing hard enough Daddy? Will you let me run rampant and monopolize on tech Daddy?"
Interesting, my phone just disabled Google calendar due to my pressing and holding on the icons. Can't help but wonder if these events are related.
They might be since I refuse to get up with fleas after lying down with nazi hounds....
Tech megacorps are wusses, in other news fire is hot.
They're not wusses, they were just biding their time to unveil their true selves.
See, this assigns a level of human personality to corporations that I don't think we should be doing. It implies there is a "true self" to be revealed, when in reality the "self" of any corporation is entirely plastic and follows what the Excel Sheet tells them will make Line Go Up. Most corporate suits aren't Elon Musk (who is, in fact, a human being, just a terrible one). Most corporate suits are dead inside and haven't had a soul or a human emotion since 1985.
No, they just do whatever they can to appease whoever is in charge, because that is how they make money. They only became "LGBTQ friendly" when that was mainstream-acceptable and government-endorsed. And now that the culture is swinging the other way (more than half of americans wanted this fascist descent, never forget that) and the US is going all in on white supremacy and puritanism, they switch tunes right away. Case in point dia da consciência negra, the Brazilian equivalent of a black-history thing is still labelled on my Brazil-facing Google Calendar, because it's still a government-sponsored and mainstream commemorative date here.

Holy fuck! Welp, today's the day, I've been a heavy Google user since they became a company basically. Starting to unwind all that TODAY.
Good luck. I'm also on that process. Just changing email provider is enough work with over 300 accounts using my Gmail address. Don't give up, but be aware it's a lot of work.
They also changed gulf of Mexico officially to gulf of America in Maps
They should have a Normal / Maga toggle for their apps
Just a note to add here. Bing maps does exist. And they haven't followed this insanity. (so far)
Or better yet, Yandex has a map and navigation app!
What's Bing? /s
Yeah I'm de-googling, fuck this
What's everyone using for email in a post Google world?
Tuta and Mailbox
mailbox.org has been pretty good. you can also sync contacts and calendar using DAVx5 on android. They don't have any official apps. but thunderbird mobile works well.
Tutamail. Actually great company values. Company works more like a coop. Diversity and inclusion is part of its message. Encryption is paramount.
Proton mail is pretty good. And they have a trustworthy VPN service.
Update: I officially rescind my statement. Do not use Proton.
Fuck proton, get off proton.
Get mullvad if you want a good VPN provider. Get tutamail if you want a good email provider.
posteo
Hey. Been using it for years. It’s great
Fastmail
Addy.io + Posteo
Starting to makes sense. All this anti American crap was happening last time he was president too. I thought the world was going mad, but he was pushing. It was him the whole time.
This is hardly a push. These companies are changing because they want to change. No one is forcing them to change things. He's just giving them cover.
Yeah, how does it benefit Google to do this? Or benefit the NFL to remove End Racism? Someone had to be sitting in a room and think, "Oh, nice! Now we can finally remove that bullshit and nobody will oppose it."
Do no evil....
Wow, that’s not suspicious at all.
