While the California gang above is targeting on race, this one is targeting on class.Though it truly doesn't matter if they're going after you because they're racist or because they're communist. You just need a secure location. Meaning: not California.https://t.co/in1oNPQ1pNLouis vil LeGun 🍌 📟 (@LouisvilleGun):They are organized, conducting reconnaissance, and have support structures in place.Look at this guy: recording vehicles, has a bodycam and multiple 360 action cams mounted to himself.

California's security situation is deteriorating.Making money in that failed state is like picking up quarters in front of a bulldozer. And the combination of targeted violence and untargeted anarchy will get much worse.A laptop works anywhere. You don't need California.Asian Dawn (@AsianDawn4):YouTuber tommygmcgee interviews Bay Area home invaders who all say they specifically target Asians. They say if they see a Buddha statue, they'll invade the house and take everything. https://t.co/28KqVFLFjU ...

Historical Shift in Leftist Ideology - The left's stance on technology has shifted from pro-tech (as seen in the USSR and China) to anti-tech since the 1960s [7] - This shift is attributed to technology's decentralization, contrasting with the centralized state favored by communism [1] - The Western left's association of technology with a perceived "enemy tribe" (whites/males) further fueled this anti-tech sentiment [7] Tech and Capitalism - In the Soviet Union, technology and capitalism were separated, with STEM fields being individualistic pursuits unlike managerial capitalism [2] - Post-war America also saw a partial separation, with high tax rates and centralized STEM initiatives channeling talent into academia [3] - The development of the transistor marked the beginning of technology's decentralization and its re-integration with capitalism [4] Political and Social Factors - The Western left's focus shifted from the working class to a "wokest class," leading to a rejection of the traditional working man [5] - The decentralization of the left, potentially influenced by the CIA, favored abstract expressionism over Soviet-style centralized control [6]

The main thing that distinguishes man from animal is technology. We evolved over millennia to use ...

When printed out into the real world, Marx’s philosophy led to the organized murder of the gulag. It was centralized, authoritarian.When printed out into the real world, Kaczynski’s philosophy led to the disorganized murder of the Unabomber. It was decentralized, anarchic.And just like Marx’s anti-capitalism made the lives of ordinary workers far worse, in the name of targeting top-hatted capitalists, Kaczynski’s anti-technology will make the lives of ordinary users far worse, in the name of targeting hoodi ...
