Technological progress inevitably leads to concentration of power.I can't think of a better example to illustrate this than the telegraph.Just think about it. Before the telegraph messages were sent by horse, The Pony Express for example.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_ExpressWhat happens when a telegraph line is built? Whoever owns the line gets a massive benefit over those who don't. That means police and military get a massive benefit over bank robbers or any kind of insurrection. The subtler aspect of this is that it's whoever owns the telegraph that gets to decide who are "the good guys" and who are "bank robbers" and "insurrectionists", and you guessed it, it's invariably themselves who get the former label and whoever are against them that get the latter label.https://youtu.be/IvGNLuJZqyM&t=125This movie is great because it illustrates how the telegraph is power.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Tiflis_bank_robbery

If you want to be a Unabomber freak then just fuck off into the woods and stop hypocritically spamming message boards
>>536503167What's your point?>>536503174Dumbass, I am talking about concentration of power, I'm not making any kind of moral judgment.
>>536503269Communications also concentrate power on the battlefield
>getting advantages means you're strongerShocking thought. Anything else, Einstein? Do you think that maybe having more violent potential on your side can lead to you enforcing arbitrary terms on people unwilling or unable to match your violent potential?
Literally anyone can communicate on clear net with a good radio with a large antenna. You could annoy people on it or jam the network by holding the button down.
So you could have for example a bank robbery in a town. Then the robbers escape on horses. Then a telegraph station in that town sends a message to all neighboring towns about this robbery and the escape of the robbers, so that police in those towns prepare to catch the robbers. But the robbers could, as in the movie clip I posted, force the telegrapher to send a false alarm to misdirect the police, and shoot down telegraph cables.https://youtu.be/IvGNLuJZqyM&t=317But people here hate thinking and love fapping.
>>536503281In WWI east Prussia Germany was able to defeat and push back Russians which had a manpower advantage of almost 4 times all thanks to good communication and excellent train networks. If not for that we could have lost the eastern front and the war in 14/15.
>>536503281I have no idea what you're talking about, vagueposter, how about you present an actual argument, with an example etc. I'm not a mind reader.
>>536503772Holy fuck you have nothing going on upstairs do you?
The coercion of the telegrapher to send a false alarm begins here: https://youtu.be/IvGNLuJZqyM&t=125The shooting down of a telegraph line is here: https://youtu.be/IvGNLuJZqyM&t=317This movie is actually pretty deep. There's a The Matrix/Inception type message in it. Another movie with this theme is Nightcrawler, it has a deeper message beneath the thriller plot.
>>536503912Make a fucking argument. You haven't backed up anything you've said. Make a fucking point. Better yet, go learn how to make a fucking point. Define your fucking terms and then fucking elaborate. Fucking lazy dumb toiletposting motherfucker.
>>536503361People frequently think the internet has given people more power, fuckface. Go back to stroking your cock.
>>536504028Language, swedish genius.
>>536504028There wasn't an argument not everyone is online to cause shit see >>536503758For my point whi ever had bettr communications in Battle has a huge advantage
>>536503126The technological breaktrough required for totalitarian control of a society was achieved some 300000 years ago.The Spear.No, there isnt anything new under the sun.
great moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ip3w0iVHFY
>>536504080What's your point, retard? This post doesn't say a fucking thing, completely fucking devoid of substance: >>536503281 I asked him to elaborate and make an actual point. You're all fucking low IQ and completely incapable of actual discussions. kys retard. Every fucking thread on this board is people posting while sitting on the toilet or posting with one hand while stroking their cock with the other.

>>536503174It's not necessary to bootlick anymore, or to bomb some bureaucrats for that matter. He chose the wrong methods, but even that doesn't matter anymore. Because everyone will get to experience the consequences of not listening to Uncle Ted. Tarded leaders and mentally ill rich almost nuked the world dozens of times, some sane low level slave had to save the day each time. But now, doomsday weapons are racking up, every other year brings a new one, and each one is orders of magnitude more complex to control than nukes. A big one is now practically inevitable, our cherished leaders will fumble it, it's not just statistically likely, it's in their nature to do so.
>Technological progress inevitably leads to concentration of power.No it doesn't doomer. It makes life better. People right now from all over the world are looking at my shitpost.
>>536503126It's mostly how the law and regulation is done. During covid wealth was transferred because Trump wanted his billionaire friend's businesses to be open, and for his voters and citizen's small businesses to be closed. The laws and regulation is everything.
>>536504437yet another fucking retard, I didn't fucking make a moral judgment, you're the one making the judgment "concentration of power = muh bad", fucking low iq all of you
>>536504496Inane post. Law and regulation are just fucking rephrasings of the word "power".
>There is a history of the world of which most people are unaware. It is encapsulated in the phrase, “History is written by the victors.” What about those who lost? Their stories are lost in the tales of the winners. They are notes in the margin. They are “Other”. Often, little is known about them beyond the slanders and libels their successful enemies levelled at them. History doesn’t record their voices. Often, they left no written documents, or at least none that survived the destruction wrought by their enemies. This lost history doesn’t concern wars between great nations or famous battles involving powerful kings or the most skilled generals. Instead, it is a struggle of the powerless against the powerful, of minorities against majorities, outsiders versus insiders, oppressed against the oppressors, have-nots against haves, those with nothing against those with everything, the margins of society versus the establishment. In the vast majority of cases, the establishment is triumphant. Often, the minorities – the heretics, the rebels, the revolutionaries, the members of the resistance, the freedom fighters, those leading alternative lives, the anti-establishment, those who won’t bow to tyrants – are destroyed and exterminated. They are usually labelled mad, evil and dangerous and their terrible fate is held up as a warning to those who might follow the same path. “Do not be like them or you will suffer the same consequences,” is the message.
>>536503126Any sort of interesting discussion is impossible here. My argument is, modern philosophy should be already figuring out which kinds of tech leads to concentration of power and which have the opposite effect. Telegraph did that but the open and free www internet had the opposite effect for while it lasted. Metaphysical classification is needed here so that people can choose what to empower and what to disdain. >>536503174>>536504353You guys need to start researching how many of Unabomber's targets were related to Epstein.Anyways there's no time to explain.

If you want actual anon discussion - talk about history & geopolitics, esoteric political pattens, 'insider here' posts, financial predictions, privacy tech stuff, non-pozzed philosophy and literture, while at the same time some banters and shitposts allowed, places like clearweb img boards are no longer some sort of isolated layer where we can laugh at normiefags together. We are not watching them. We are being watched. Discord, Telegram, X are not not really anonymous and namefag apps are inherent privacy nightmare.

>>536505154Being good at science is one type of intelligence. Those lucy faggots and kikes are good at that science stuff. If had to pick on type of intelligence to maintain control and come up with weapons to win, then grudgingly have to go with muh heckin science. Though they suck at shilling, which is more verbal intelligence.
