I don’t think they’ve lost the plot. They’re just the flesh puppets for a superorganism whose plot is orthogonal to human values

Our leaders are literally aliens. I mean the people are flesh and blood human but they represent and work on behalf of an emergent entity, new to this earth, whose values and priorities often run contrary to those of humans and the rest of the biosphere

I think the top 2 comments i see ascribing this to ‘hate’ and ‘cruelty’ are missing the point. This literally is better for the capitalists’ bottom line. This can be entirely attributed to profit. The threat of violence (homelessness, etc) that the working class is kept precipitously close to powers this whole machine. If everybody was housed the threat of poverty would have less material consequence. Cruelty is not the point, in this case. Neither hate. Simply profit. Which in many ways is much more cold and insidious

Is it illegal to backup my photos to the NAS in my house? I’m not even attempting to access banned services
