  • where you vote for a party and then find out it is run by some rich dude.

    That’s how neither of the last three work. To keep it short the last three are:

    • settler colonial state where genocide has popular support.
    • mafia-state where reality doesn’t matter
    • Indirect democracy dominated by a party particing Democratic-Centralism.

    What your described is something like France and Bernard Arnault. There’s many like this but that’s your normal freedom loving democracy™.

    edit: who is the secret rich dude running Russia and China if its not Putin and Xi? 🤣









  • It only must be extremely simplified and evoke emotional reactions. That’s just basic propaganda rules. The brainrot quality of the content is a consequence of the sheer quantity of the content. You can’t make that volume of content and without making fully automated ai slop.

    What the experiment overlooks is that there are PR companies being paid to flood YouTube with rightwing content and are actively trying to game its algorithm. There simply isn’t a left-wing with the capital to manufacture that much content. No soros-bucks for ai minions in keffiyehs talking about medicare.


  • There were several “social credit systems” that were set up in various provinces. These were mainly attempts to aggregate public records from different departments into one searchable database. It mostly affected business owners since they have the largest public record footprint. The idea was you could look up who owns what business and how many code violations those businesses had.

    This triculates into the american rumor mill and comes out as the “social credit score” meme which is fantasitcal projection from our own opaque credit system.
