atp the only way we’re going to get out of this ai shit while people’s brains are still semi intact is to start bribing influencers and tiktokers into saying chatgpt is cringe and it emits a frequency that blocks your divine energy which can only be channeled back by reading a book and talking to your friends
ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:
if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?
what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.
the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?
people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...
all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads
BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us.
With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you.
It would be the death of freedom in America.
don’t like that
Easy entertainment
Or earlier! Any red state can turn blue if enough voters turn out.
I think it’s safe to say that America is no longer just a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie but a very literal and specific dictatorship of Donald J. Trump and you need to act accordingly
A: occupied Poland.
First Felon has over 3500 court cases.
Now that he is a convicted felon, fraud, and adjudicated rapist, he wants to skip judicial process and one-way ticket innocent people to concentration camps in El Salvador.
Republicans in Minnesota are trying to get being critical of trump to be classified as a mental illness.
It probably won’t get passed, but still. This is just, horrible.
The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts.
El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT.
We've reached the 'people are being disappeared' stage, folks...

And hey, just for fun, let's contrast that with another quote:
First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy...I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. -Vladimir Fucking Putin, the year before launching an attack on Ukraine, which everyone also said he was joking about and definitely wouldn't do (2021 essay, Kremlin official website 🇷🇺)
I know you're overwhelmed, Americans, but please stop saying this is a joke. Canadians are anticipating an invasion, possibly within the year. This is not a fucking drill.
i haven't seen anyone on tumblr talk about this yet but this is a problem. a major fucking problem.
Several documentaries publically treating Luigi Mangione as guilty before his trial even started got released over the past 2 months.

It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.
Oh no. MAGA is mad that the NYT shared the names of DOGE staffers. Don’t share this! Would be a shame
Just reminder:
Fuck ICE
Death to Trump and his billionaire buddies

I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it

The Billionaire's Plot for Ending Democracy Is Already in Motion
This isn’t the usual content, but we recently came across some information and felt compelled to research and share as widely as possible:
The Butterfly Revolution: A Roadmap to Corporate Authoritarianism
🚨 The lesser-known companion piece to Project 2025 that paints a more complete picture of what Trump and Musk are doing—and where we're headed.
It’s authored by Curtis Yarvin, a name unfamiliar to some but deeply influential in elite tech circles and the Trump Administration.
🚨 Yarvin is a close friend and political guru to Vice President Vance, who has openly cited him as an influence and espouses his ideas.
Billionaires have been talking about Yarvin’s political philosophy for years—referencing it in private forums, fanatical social media accounts, podcasts, and tech industry events.
His framework has been cited by sitting senators and policy architects who openly discuss his vision for the future in blogs, interviews, and private summits.
The vision? Destroy democracy, replace it with corporate-led fiefdoms, and eliminate any possibility of returning to representative governance.
🐌 Project 2025 is the slow, legal route to authoritarian control.
🔥 The Butterfly Revolution is its accelerationist counterpart—designed to gut the administrative state irreversibly.
💰 The billionaire class isn’t just talking about it—they’re funding it. 🚨 The Butterfly Revolution is already underway.
See the roadmap below:
Yarvin’s Vision vs. Reality: What’s Happening Now
1. Install a CEO-President
“Trump himself will not be the brain of this butterfly. He will not be the CEO. He will be the chairman of the board—he will select the CEO (an experienced executive)...The CEO he picks will run the executive branch without any interference from the Congress or courts, probably also taking over state and local governments.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“What Trump is going to do is to build this regime-in-exile or occupation authority as a private… institution—a larva. By winning a Presidential election, he will then install it in office.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk now exerts more direct control over federal infrastructure than any cabinet member while avoiding the disclosure, ethics, and congressional nomination process generally required of a cabinet-level position.
DOGE has also been granted broad authority, with virtually no transparency, security screening, or guardrails to prevent conflicts of interest. Many have expressed concern and bewilderment about Musk’s outsized role, wondering why Trump would cede so much power to Musk, but this autonomy is a hallmark of Yarvin’s CEO-president.
🚨 Musk isn’t just an advisor. He’s governing.
2. Dismantle the U.S. Government and Centralize Power
“A government is just a corporation which owns a country. Nothing more, nothing less. It so happens that our sovereign corporation is very poorly managed, and there’s a very simple way to replace that, which is what we do at all corporations that have failed. We simply delete them.” — Curtis Yarvin in an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show
“As a butterfly, the new regime’s authority in every field will be inescapable. Since no field today is independent of power, old power can only be displaced by new power.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk’s DOGE was established via executive order to advise agencies on efficiency and technology but has far exceeded this mandate. DOGE has moved from “advising” to dissolving entire agencies (starting with USAID), withholding congressionally appropriated funds, and infiltrating at least 18 other agencies and departments.
Over 17 Inspectors General—government watchdogs responsible for oversight—have been fired or forced out, eroding independent checks on financial and legal misconduct.
🚨 The government is being hollowed out from the inside.
3. Ignore the Courts
“Congress and the judiciary should serve ceremonial roles, nothing more. The executive must be unchallenged." — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you…stand before the country, like Andrew Jackson, and say, ‘the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.” – JD Vance in a podcast interview in 2021
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Trump entered office issuing blatantly unconstitutional executive orders, including ending birthright citizenship and freezing congressionally appropriated funds.
Musk’s DOGE moved to slash and defund congressionally approved departments, agencies, and funding.
While federal judges have moved to temporarily block these actions, it appears the administration will once again follow Yarvin’s playbook and ignore the courts.
Vance, who has expressed a willingness to bypass the courts in the past, is echoing this sentiment again, challenging the court’s long-standing authority to rein in executive power.
🚨 Trump is threatening a constitutional crisis without modern precedent. If he continues to follow Yarvin’s playbook, we can expect Trump to ignore the many judicial challenges he’s facing. If the Supreme Court attempts to stop him, Yarvin would have him declare a state of emergency to achieve his objectives.
What Comes Next: Complete Corporate Takeover and the Erosion of Sovereignty
1. Dismantling Legacy Press and Higher Learning Institutions
"...mainly journalism, academia and social media… The new regime must seize all points of power, without respect for paper protections. Anything can be nationalized—so long as the new regime has the staff, the prize crew as it were, to nationalize it." — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“You can’t continue to have a Harvard or a New York Times past since perhaps the start of April” – Curtis Yarvin, podcast interview with Michael Anton
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk has weaponized Twitter/X to dominate news narratives. Since acquiring the platform, he has
fired key investigative teams, including key members responsible for U.S. elections, content moderation, and public policy
suppressed dissenting voices and stripped departments dedicated to tracking misinformation and enforcing rules against harmful content.
Meta has pulled its fact-checking program, further opening the door for unregulated political misinformation.
University funding is being systematically stripped:
Federal grants for academic institutions are being revoked or redirected toward private, right-wing think tanks aligned with Project 2025.
Programs on climate science, racial equity, and democratic governance are being cut, reinforcing authoritarian ideologies in higher education.
Efforts to defund NPR, PBS, and other independent media outlets are underway:
Congress has been pressured to cut federal subsidies to public broadcasting.
Right-wing media conglomerates are consolidating control over traditional media, ensuring that billionaire-backed narratives dominate.
🚨 A coordinated effort is underway to eliminate independent journalism, silence academic dissent, and replace traditional media with propaganda arms.
2. Creating a National Police Force
“I’m federalizing the police. I’m establishing direct control over all police departments, the military, of course, it goes without saying, the National Guard. And all of this is happening at a moment when every Trump supporter is in the street.” – Curtis Yarvin in a podcast interview with Jim Rutt
“...within a week, every law enforcement officer in America is wearing a red armband to show that he follows the new President’s direct, unconditional command." – Curtis Yarvin in a podcast interview with Jim Rutt
📌 What’s Happening Now:
The administration has granted immigration-enforcement authority to agencies within the Justice Department, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Marshals Service.
The administration has halted agreements that required reforms of police departments where the Justice Department found patterns of abuse. This move reduces federal oversight and aligns with a more centralized approach to law enforcement.
Trump has repeatedly suggested deploying the National Guard and active-duty military to respond to domestic protests and civil unrest.
In June 2020, he threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces if states did not take sufficient action to quell protests.
More recently, he has proposed using the National Guard against what he describes as "radical-left lunatics," indicating a willingness to employ military force against domestic political opponents.
🚨 These developments indicate a concerted effort to centralize law enforcement authority under the executive branch, echoing Yarvin's proposals for consolidating power and diminishing local autonomy.
3. Gaza Inc
“But—what if the Gazans left, but still owned the property? Or stock in a company, run by slick Arab MIT graduates, with the right to develop the strip as a new Israeli city? The LA or Vegas of Southern Israel? Perhaps the “international community” could even get an equity slice, for brokering the deal? That could even fund the 401(k)s of the aid administrators in UNRWA. They’ll need to eat somehow once their problem is solved.” — Curtis Yarvin, “Clearpill yourself on Gaza”
📌 Yarvin’s Future:
Yarvin proposes replacing traditional democratic governance with a corporate model, where private interests control governance rather than elected officials. This aligns with his broader philosophy, which advocates for centralized, corporate-style authority.
This vision parallels Donald Trump’s 2025 proposal to displace Gaza’s population and redevelop the territory into a luxury destination under U.S. control.
Separation of “Blood and Soil”: Yarvin argues that if the elimination of the Palestinian people is not an option, then the people must be separated from their land.
Yarvin suggests Palestinians could be relocated while Gaza is redeveloped into a high-value economic hub. This approach treats land as a financial asset rather than a cultural or national heritage.
This vision assumes that Palestinians would accept financial compensation (e.g., equity in the new Gaza) in exchange for relinquishing political control and physical presence.
The proposal suggests a profit-driven approach to governance where Palestinians are displaced and without political power.
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Trump’s Gaza Plan
The Trump administration has explored privatizing Gaza under a “special economic zone” model, aiming to transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” This plan emphasizes real estate development and luxury tourism, echoing Yarvin’s vision.
Key Overlaps:
Depopulation: Both plans prioritize removing Gaza’s Palestinian population, framing it as a pragmatic solution to the conflict.
Economic Reimagining: Gaza is treated as a financial asset—Yarvin’s “GAZA stock” or Trump’s “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Anti-Democratic Pragmatism: Rejects humanitarian or diplomatic norms in favor of transactional, efficiency-driven governance.
🚨 Yarvin’s vision for Gaza, echoed in Trump’s proposals, prioritizing corporate control and economic development over democratic processes and human rights. This approach seeks to transform Gaza into a high-value hub at the expense of its current inhabitants.
Final Warning: This Isn’t a Reform—It’s a Full Government Takeover
💰 Billionaires aren’t just influencing policy; they’re rewriting governance itself, ensuring that the future belongs to financial stakeholders, not citizens.
This is not speculation—it’s unfolding right now. If Trump successfully follows through with Yarvins plan, we can expect: ✔ Elections to become obsolete as billionaires consolidate control over media, universities, and the institutions meant to hold power accountable. ✔ Independent journalism and higher education will disappear, replaced by right-wing think tanks and tech-backed propaganda arms. ✔ Entire regions are privatized, governed not by elected representatives but by corporate boards deciding who gets rights—and who doesn’t. ✔ A nationalized police force that assimilates all state and local law enforcement agencies in favor of one that enforces the administration’s agenda, as opposed to the laws. ✔ Citizenship is redefined, not as a birthright or legal status, but as a financial investment in a "network state" controlled by the ultra-wealthy.
🚨 This is not a bipartisan issue—it’s an existential one. The question is no longer if democracy survives but whether we’re willing to fight for it. The corporate coup has already begun. What happens next depends on us.
🔥 This is the future being built right now. The only question now is: Who will stop it?
