@tusk81@mastodon.social For-profit prisons are immoral even when the people doing time are held for moral reasons, so this stuff with immoral ICE is deeply evil. Glad Montclair has taken this action.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange The government people pushing this have been bamboozled or bought. Scary stuff. Also: will not protect children. Also, and worse: will make it easier to target young people right at the age of 16. As far as I can tell, that is its primary purpose. Very scary stuff.

@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Yes. The people who receive the biggest payments are the ones who merit any scrutiny. For every dollar a fixed-income person gets there’s thousands and thousands of dollars going to Musk or Tom Steyer or many others. All basic social services are affordable and super cheap in comparison.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social This a crime against humanity and therefore the punishment should be capital. Of course, some will say I am overreacting. Okay, fine, let's lower the bar: Any direct and punitive consequence of any kind to even one of the individuals behind this criminal and unethical act. If not, there is no rule of law. If there is no rule of law, and if the powerful can simply wield power against us and our home, if they are allowed to poison us for profit, our days remaining are few.

@courtcan All good points you make about this shocking lack of knowledge, but a reminder that cults and cult-like organizations are full of quite intelligent and well educated people. Unhelpful ivory towers are full of such people, too. That said, it’s also quite true that right wingers are attacking education as part of their endlessly avaricious draw to power.

This is a common trait among them. Thiel, Trump, Epstein, Noem, MTG, Zuckerberg, Raniere, Bakker, Mike Lee, Hannity, Bezos, Andreessen, that one guy at your office, Musk, the 62 million clicks, and the list goes on ad infinitum. All they want is you to do what they say. All they want is utter control over other people’s bodies, actions, money.

They prey. That’s what they have in common.
