Well said. When I consider how well AI works over on Twitter, it is very clear with massive compute our Tech-soon-to-be-trillionaires can finger and nail any of us they want. That is no lie or exaggeration.

I am flabberghasted at how accurate GROK on Twitter is in characterizing and contextualizing pretty much any comment. Go and try it.

America was about to have it's 250th birthday next year, but weak-link Biden ruined that.

And now the very people who have worked against government of, by and for the people are saying "I told you so" and are happy to step in and replace it.

If Americans want to oppose that, we have to do it in the open, surveilled and threat-assessed on social media platforms.

Does anyone know the phrase "Let 1000 flowers bloom"?

It originates from a campaign in the People's Republic of China in 1956-1957, launched by Mao Zedong. Officially called the "Hundred Flowers Campaign," it encouraged intellectuals to voice their opinions and criticisms of government policies, under the slogan which was meant to signify a flourishing of diverse ideas and cultural expressions.

The phrase was used to advocate for diversity in thought, creativity, or innovation, suggesting that allowing a wide variety of ideas to flourish can lead to beneficial outcomes. Do you think Trump and thugs subscribe to that?

This campaign is analogous to our Internet dicussion boards where many who spoke out were later persecuted.

China programmed children to speak against their parents, but now we have the Internet permanent comments used. We don't need that now, we have permanent surveillance of all of us and our comments and actions throughout our lives.
