I don’t know why this is the line in the sand. The American oligarchy has been running shit since Koch brothers o’clock. There are some small practical differences, but for all intents and purposes, those differences are negligable and the rich get the laws they pay the government officials to produce.
I love this idea. Will definitely look into installing on my desktop. I’m working on a searxng instance that filters out all the toxic sources that think they own the internet also. Its also very much a work in progress, but yeah, these putzes get too much attention on the internet and anything we can do for our own peace of mind to delete them from pur lives is absolutely worth doing. I put a lot of filters on mastodon to the same end and it has made my social media experience so much more enjoyable.
No power is ever as absolute as people think. AmeriKKKa has been in a death spiral for a while now, but it will probably still tske a really long time to disintigrate. If anything, fascism signals that the elite are losing their grip on power as it’s the tool they always turn to when desperately holding on. It will look like absolute power for a while, but it will ultimately burn itself on both ends until there isn’t anything left to burn. Alot of people will inevitable get burnt up between the flames though.
