  • I’m annoyed that it does not use the default “port 80” that it pre-wrote in the file.
    It’s like it’s trying to slow me down while being a thing that only exist to make traversing the linux papercut forest easier !

    You can imagine how I feel about hunting incorrectly pasted “space” characters inside of yaml files

    Learning 2 more reverse http proxy isn’t how I’d like to spend my upcoming weekend !

    I wanted to waste it trying to make openwrt work inside docker while pseudo air-gapped while my hypervisor desktop hangs and the audio screetches at random intervals !



  • Yes there are many choices, very similar degrees of ultimately the same thing. Same thing here in Canada.

    Often it’s the business elite party and the “business elite but pretending to care about the people’s interest party” and that second one is also split so the straight up business elite party has a chance to win. Followed by series of do-nothing statistically insignificant, flavour-text parties just for the impression of diversity. It’s all a little circus to give you the idea the population is in control while being completely out of the equation. It only really serves to dissipate their frustration and make them believe they’ve already done everything they could so we don’t get guillotines in the streets.

    Make no mistake Fukuyama is right, this IS the end of history, there will not be any democratically elected changes unless the powerful decide change is in their interest and will maintain or increase their power.

    Nothing will change until the power is physically taken away from them and history restarts.


  • The game has been rigged.
    Voting exists to stop you changing things.
    It makes you believed you solved the problem
    when you’ve actually accomplished nothing yet

    The voting is game is lost before it began
    with psychometric micro demographic targetting
    they can convert money into votes with simple manipulation
    it’s just a matter of which money interest push more
    on their preferred option

    but neither of the two choices is on your side

    None of the choices in democracy are working for you



  • the people get exactly the government they deserve.

    You are extremely naive about “democracy”
    You are taking the fake choices at face value
    This is not democracy
    Voting once in a while is not democracy, it’s not even politics

    Look at the rotating cast of 100 or so loser leading just about every democracy, do you really believe that the current leaders really are these despicable, reprehensible, deceptive and bootlicking politicians are the best people among hundreds of millions of people ?

    Of course not, what a crazy idea, and you want to blame the victim about it ? The victim which are US ??? How dare you !

    Every country has their own version of first past the post, electoral college and all kinds of rules that ensure that even if they can’t apparently influence politics, the politics have nevertheless NEVER left the hands of the power elites. The people who have always owned everything and will always own everything. You might be feeling some protest and the desire to point to some “rags to riches” story to rebut me, but no you know just as well as I do that these exception are far and few in between and they don’t save the system.

    The system designed to perpetuate the concentration of power into fewer and fewer hands, as much as possible, stopping just short of monopoly and kings unless we stopped looking.

    Face it, our democracy is rotten bull shit ! It’s NOT OUR FAULT, it was rigged from the start by GOD DAMNED SLAVE OWNERS !!!

    So stop repeating the thought terminating platitudes like “the people get exactly the government they deserve”, “it’s the worst system, except for all the others”, “western liberal democracy is the end of history”.

    This was and always been fake no matter how much the elites want us to believe it.

    Democracy was fake then, it is fake NOW and that is not even taking into account just how incredibly WORSE it is getting in recent years. Not only were the elites content with assassination of dissenters of anything that would champion any kind of change everywhere on Earth, from Martin Luther King to an endless series of political activists but now we have even worse and more deadly than assassinations going on.

    Here are just a few of the new technology that ensure your old fake democracy will never EVER amount to anything and you will scientifically never matter to any kind of policy. (even though it was scientifically proven a decade ago that the people’s preference have no effect on congess’ policies)

    The new nails in the airtight, steel reinforced concrete coffin of democracy are

    1. Behavioral Microtargeting
    Data-driven psychological manipulation that hijacks emotions to steer voter behavior without their awareness.
    
    2. Algorithmic Information Control
    Algorithms decide what people see and believe, shaping political reality to favor power.
    
    3. Surveillance-Based Targeting
    Every movement, message, and purchase is tracked and fed into systems designed to pre-empt resistance.
    
    4. Neuromarketing & Biometric Influence
    Ads and messages are engineered to exploit subconscious emotional and physiological responses.
    
    5. Digital ID & Programmable Money
    Financial and identity systems can be weaponized to reward obedience and punish dissent instantly.
    
    6. Rigged Electoral Architecture
    Voting systems and rules ensure only establishment-friendly candidates ever make it to power.
    
    7. Deplatforming & Soft Censorship
    Unapproved voices are quietly erased, throttled, or discredited before they can gain traction.
    
    8. Algorithmic Bureaucracy (AI Governance)
    Opaque algorithms control critical life decisions with no transparency or accountability.
    
    9. Weaponized Legalism ("Lawfare")
    Laws are selectively enforced to crush dissent while protecting the powerful.
    
    10. Manufactured Hopelessness
    The system convinces people that resistance is pointless, ensuring compliance without force.
    

    We are totally boned, we should all go piss on the tomb of Edward Bernays and Ivy Lee in mourning because our democracy is NEVER COMING BACK
