How come politicians have forgotten the breads and circuses part of the complacency equation and are making entertainment and food shittier and more expensive and shitting on anyone that calls it out? Are they just incompetent or feel like they won and don't have to placate us anymore?
>>540361430If AI actually produces the kind of digital panopticon they're banking on, our elites will feel more or less completely insulated from accountability. https://www.businessinsider.com/larry-ellison-ai-surveillance-keep-citizens-on-their-best-behavior-2024-9
Uhh those burgers are raw
>>540361430>they won and don't have to placate us anymoreit's thisthey already know nobody will do shit
>>540361430They have basically accepted the risks of being blood-eagled in their front yards in front of their children and now the ball is in our court.
>>540361430Bread and circuses are only necessary when the plebs could pose a threat to the people in power. They currently do not.
>>540361430Is anybody hanging from lampposts yet?That's what this is going to require.
>>540361430>How come politicians>are making entertainment and food shittier and more expensiveIf you still believe politicians are "making" something and are not just puppets and actor managed by other powers and thus asking these naive questions. You are part of the problem.If you realize that they are not in charge then you would understand that politicians just follow an agenda, a script. And this agenda is that the current system gets burned down. So the architects can build a new one.People accept a new system glady if the old one is miserable as hell.
>>540361430Because the time of entertaining us is coming to an end
>>540361430>politicians have forgotten the breads and circusesop, you're posting on a circus.
HOW DARE YOU SPEND 20 DOLLARS ON DELICIOUS CHEESY BEAN BURRITOS FROM CHIPTOLE WITH MOUTH WATERING VEGGIES AND DELICIOUS SAUCES. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
>>540361430The fundamental problem is that the political class is now completely unaccountable.The media will not hold them to account.The courts will not hold them to account.The voters will not or increasingly cannot hold them to account.Their only "disipline" for 40 years has been from "the market", which means they now simply serve the interests of oligarchs who don't so much hold them to account as get them to legalize ever increasingly forms of grift. This will go on until western states simply slow motion implode, as is already happening.
>>540361430Did you ever ready Animal Farm? We are in the final chapter, where the elites feel comfortable fucking us over brazenly and without regard for our well-being.
>>540361430Demon glare
>>540361683There's always bread and circuses going on. Because if the bread runs out, the circuses will never work. Once people go hungry that's when shit hits the fan.
>>540361871How would things change if I realized this or not Mr. high horse? Ok I realize it now what changed? Oh right nothing faggot. This site is filled with so many retards complaining that other people are sheep and do nothing as they do nothing themselves
>>540362116CauseYOUWONT.DO.SHIT.
>>540361430"You will own nothing and be happy" wasn't received as well as they expected, so they dropped the "be happy" part and doubled down on the "own nothing" part.
>>540362401and you won't either. What's your point?
>>540361430nah im good
>>540361430is it Kosher to cook stuff like that?
>>540362882cheese is not kosher so that's another fuck you goyim thing he does since he will feed his dog that raw meat
Something, something, power only lasts 3 generations. Something, something, they don't know how to use the levers of power their forefathers produced. Though these guys are probably right:>>540361496>>540361632They're trying to make new levers.
>>540361430>How come politicians have forgotten the breads and circusesBecause politicians and secret societies have figured it out. Turns out the masses don't need either bread or circuses; they just need to be told that they will have both these things eventually (they won't) if they do *thing that exclusively benefits said politicians and secret societies*. They can keep pushing the envelope because no one is going to physically stop them from doing so.
>>540361430They're done with the bread part because they want to starve you.
>>540363095>they don't know how to use the levers of power their forefathers producedWe call it "regression to the heeb".
>>540363196With the blowing up of AI I really do think the end goal is to kill the middle class not symbolically or metaphorically but literally kill us and retain their slave class and create a new society of just the rich like those old sci fi movies warned us. I 100% believe this is Musk's goal and I 100% believe he has like 20 kids because he thinks he can use them for immortality
>>540361988YOURE THINKING ABOUT IT ARENT YOUYOU MUST BE SOME KIND OF NIGGER
>>540363779I haven't eaten a burrito in over a year because every place by me sells them for $15 at least and fuck off I am not buying a flour wrap made up of mostly rice and beans for $15
>>540363523They karmically washed themselves of responsibility for mass murder by putting up a public notice of intent for several years, then took it down after it had been up long enough. Now they can say "well we warned you, so this is on (you)".
>>540363924 >Your eyes can’t consentSymbolism only works if they sign their John Hancock
>>540361632I much prefer hanging, drawing and quartering, with castration, and disemboweling added.
>>540361430They are disconnected and arrogant. It's like the Arrested Development meme "how much can a banana cost? $10" but on a wider scale
>>540364328I remember years ago I was at a random bar in my city and the governor was there just chilling alone drinking no security and it is kinda insane how comfortable they are. If I was a high level politician I would think I would need high level security
>>540364454True
I saw my governor at my local library
>>540361988the beans part makes it look and sound disgusting
