@futurebird Advertising uses the same psychological manipulation.Something that constantly tells you how wonderful you are & never disagrees with you is often aiming to manipulate you.

@Nonilex In an era where tech oligarchs have been paid by the likes of Paul Singer, Putin, #PrinceBonesaw, and Koch Network to develop digital dossiers on almost everyone on the planet, purportedly simply for "advertising", but it's been morphed into a marketing campaign for a future ruled by fascist corporations & plutocrats, not citizens. With technology at this scale, why do we have political parties at all? 1/

@Nonilex ICE isn't the only way blue cities are attacked.There's economic attacks too.Blue cities were targeted for AI rent-fixing schemes by Harlan Crow's RealPage. Austin. Atlanta. New York. Los Angeles. Seattle. Trump ended that investigation. Blue cities were targeted for house price increases by private equity hedge funds like Blackstone. In Atlanta, one in seven homes was acquired by private equity, ballooning mortgages.Blue cities were targeted for charter/voucher schools.

@ChrisMayLA6 @h4890 The current system of the working & middle classes paying taxes and billionaires evading taxation is simply unsustainable. Billionaires get to extract wealth. Everyone else gets to contribute to billionaire wealth, via consumer spending & paying for exhorbitant private government contracts funded by taxpayers. There's a number of ways to do a tax revolt that are legal. 1. Stop working. Retire early if you can afford it.2. Reduce consumption. Spend less.1/

2/There's no sales tax or VAT due if no one is buying much. Boycott Amazon.3. Switch to renewable energy. Get a heat pump, balcony solar panels. Ditch the car.Don't feed the fossil fuel fascists frying democracy & the planet.4. Work less. Retirement savings are being eyed by the 1%. They are working to eradicate savings, property ownership, & assets, with another global financial crisis or world war.So why bother growing a nest egg that'll just be stolen from you anyway?

3/Earn less. Downsize your life.Take a job that pays the bills but is less stressful & pays less. No fascist government can force a labor force to work a crappy job for rich jerks.5. Grow food. The first thing a kleptocracy does is food shortages, price gouging, & orchestration of famines.The fossil fuel industry is forecasted to kill 1 billion people this way by the end of the century. Don't be one of them.6. Start a "cash only" business, mutual aid or a barter system.

4/Keep local economies local. Boycott Walmart. India had to resort to demonetizing their most commonly used monetary notes in an attempt to counter what the government considered "black markets". If monetary exchange never goes through a bank etc is it taxable?7. Delay paying taxes. Apply for a postponement. Many of them.Delayed tax payments can be as destructive to billionaire wealth extraction as complete non-compliance.

5/They can't charge people exorbitant interest rates if they avoid endebtedness with no car loans, no credit cards etc8. Ronald Reagan orchestrated a tax revolt using property taxes to force public universities to institute high tuition protocols & exclude black Vietnam vets from using the GI bill for economic mobility. The same strategy can be used against Trump’s regime. States can withhold their remittances. 9. Non-tariff barriers.Stop maintaining the airports used by private jets.

6/Thwart access to a Trump golf course.Withhold permits for transporting & storing jet fuel for private jets.Stop maintaining the roads going to a Trump golf course.Cut off the public water supply to Miami billionaire bunker islands.Much of what the Tories & Republicans have done to the world was done with taxpayer money.Oil wars. Bailouts. Corporate welfare.What happens when an electorate decides to voluntarily drop their taxable income by 5% or 10%?
