Six arrested at protest of Palantir, tech company building deportation software for Trump admin
I really wish they didn't give this thing a LotR name (Palantir), Tolkien would've hated it.
I was recently reading that hard core right and Sociopathic Oligarchs all have a real weird thing for LotR. They give Tolkien names to lots of stuff. The article was very vague about why there is a connection ( I got the feeling that they really didn't know why it resonates with them), but it is there.
I remember reading that Tolkien wrote a letter or whatever lamenting that those kind of people liked his books.
Nazis have always appropriated culture, since they lack the prerequisite humanity to make art of their own
Hearing their slogans, which are complaints, a step up from drums and dances,
I can say that the protests in the US are finally getting slightly less milquetoast.
"We demand Peter Thiel to resign as a first step!"
"Murderers!"
"Move! Out of the way! Let us through!"
Would be better though.
Hey Hey, Ho Ho! Insert some politician has got to go!
Yeah, so that slogan needs to go and be replaced by something more serious than that.
I've heard that song too many times without anyone going.
People need to know that "a beautiful sight to behold"
had people with props going for photo ops,
made chain links for photo ops,
created barricades and attacked the police,
build statues of foreign nations for photo ops,
flew to foreign countries to recieve prizes for photo ops,
patrolled neighbourhoods to beat up counterprotesters there,
invaded government buildings,
set trains on fire,
set people on fire,
attempted to derail trains and set off bombs.
All in the name of "freedom" for an extradition law that was instigated to
put an active murderer behind bars (that guy is now walking free).
And with demands that said that nothing they did or will do is illegal
and that instead the police should be investigated for malpractice
and be send to jail if any wrongdoing was found.
What it did not have and other protests don't are signs that say
"If you're X and you do not protest, then you're with them"
and shop lootings,
with the latter, the US Republican media constantly harps on.
If that's a "beautiful sight to behold" according to most US politicians,
then any US citizen should demand the right to have the same rights
as the Hong Kong protesters demanded.
But you could ask for more than that, because ICE raids
and building concentration camps do not equate with
an extradition law that would have affected
maybe 6 people in a decade.
I remember the George Floyd protests had a little bit of that,
when people marched through gated communities,
and attacked police and counterprotesters,
List of companies that use their genicide powered software.
At the protests? Surely the Palantir precog crime prevention analysts submerged in the cellar should have know this future crime was about to happen, well before the protest.
They probably knew.. But the prison/military industrial complex incentivizes crime, as it perpetuates poverty. And more poverty means more people arewilling to work for less money. Cheaper labor equals higher profits.
So basically, capitalism goes brrrr.
What are the rights around protesting in America? Is it legal for you to be arrested like this?
According to the constitution, hell no.
According to the yellow cock sucking pedophile, yes my master….
Heroes get arrested.
Villains make billions.
This is freedom, somehow.
I remeber an song by an german singer-songwriter in yhe 90th, which is still very valid, Reinhard Mey - Sei Wachsam
