      He’s only apologising because of the backlash. Terrible company, terrible CEO.

      I remember when the party of small government didn’t want mass orwellian surveillance.

    3. He absolutely does not believe in a world of safety and privacy. He believes he got outed as a supervillain who wants to get paid to create a surveillance state.

      These fascists want us to think that we have more in common than we think and that they deserve our empathy. Once their figurehead is gone, they’ll try slinking back until they get another chance. We all have more in common with our fellow humans getting trafficked to concentration camps than we do with these ghoulish motherfuckers. I cannot wait to outlive every single one of them and piss on their graves.

      Forbes is trash, the only bourgeois economic outlet actually worth reading is the Financial Times.

      “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

      To disrupt an entrenched elite and counter a rising dictatorship, decentralized, widespread economic non-cooperation is often the most effective approach.
      ​Here are the most impactful ways people can protest in unison:
      • ​General Strikes and Labor Slowdowns: Coordinate mass call-outs or strict “work-to-rule” (doing only the bare minimum required by a contract). If the workforce halts, the elite’s wealth generation stops instantly.
      • ​Targeted Consumer Boycotts: Systematically stop purchasing goods and services from conglomerates owned by the top 1% or those funding the authoritarian regime. Focus on one major industry at a time (e.g., banking, fuel, or telecom) to maximize impact.
      • ​Financial Disruption: Move money out of major national banks and into local credit unions, or collectively delay non-essential payments, like utilities or credit card bills, en masse to strain the financial system.
      • ​”Invisible” Protests: When public gatherings become too dangerous due to police crackdowns, utilize alternative methods like synchronized noise protests (banging pots and pans from windows), flash mobs, or mass sick-lpeople.

    7. Calling them terrorists was an attempt to direct state violence against them. He’s sorry it didn’t work.
