    the Palantirs of the world

    Which are nurtured by Capitalism and the free marked cult. If I were a rich psychopath, the first propaganda/manipulation I would pay for, was to promote the economic system that is most valuable to me. We can see that the same propaganda campaigns have created/maintained the omni-present ‘red scare’ and there are STILL people this day that use words like ‘Commies’ and similar primitive propaganda dogmas. What a coincidence that the Epstein class just happens to agree on 100 free markets and dislike Communism/socialism and similar systems that take away their power. Big wonder… The ‘Free market’ cult was created via ‘manufacturing consent’ propaganda by rich sh*tters, and now the childish belief-system have nurtured and grown the psychopaths and wealth to generate ‘the Palantirs of the world’. The Fascist surveillance state was always the endgame of Capitalism…

      Do you not think that a hypothetical state without Capitalism could also generate an automated surveillance state? It feels to me to be less tied to the market system and more to authoritarianism. I would simply point to the fact that many European nations under socialism did have very strong secret police spying on the public under the pretext of protection from counter-revolution, which is not really any different to the countries under capitalism today, minus the technology.

          When I spoke about European countries under socialism I meant East Germany (Stasi), USSR (KGB), Czechoslovakia (StB), Hungary (AVH), etc.

          None of these countries were capitalist at the time and maintained gigantic security services to spy on the entire population.
