if you want to learn how to defend your communities and reclaim your agency, you need to learn the battlefield. sugar-cube, this is techno-fascism. learn its moves.
So they've been pushing things like "your AI girlfriend", chat gpt and the like. Every time I run into this or that "wonderful" AI thing, I ditch if fast. Palantir is deep profiling us, for sure, and I don't want to play.
And those " I am not a bot" Captas are easily defeated if the human using the bot has programmed it to call a human to just deal with the Capta challenge before the bot continues; they then accomplish nothing.
This: "Mass marches alone will not help us: movements that succeed use a variety of tactics and strategies." 100% spot on! On a separate but related matter...one point to consider: The "cold" Civil War our country has been fighting for the past 45 years has been lost. MAGA and the Trump Regime won it with immense help from the Oligarchs. Their win is commonly referred to as a coup, but it was a revolution (Google the two to learn about the difference between them). The revolutionary government is now implementing its right-wing populist agenda. Sounds defeatist (and very much not your style), but it's not really. It's a learning experience, and what we've learned over the last six months is that the remnants of the forces that fought in the Civil War have now transitioned to the next phase of the "War for America." What we're experiencing now is a counter-revolutionary war, and counter-revolutionary forces will need a variety of tactics and strategies like the ones you mentioned to succeed in winning our country back. Monthly mass marches alone, as you say, will not do it.
