Kind of emblematic of their political philosophy though. Kill or gulag all the ambitious people and then everyone just suffers in mediocrity and stagnation.

This should really go in the Conspiracy Theories thread but just in case you start seeing any of this hilarious "theory" popping up on our favorite haunts, here's the "expert" source of this delusional fantasy of vast accountability culture:
Spoiler: the text, did not embed the 18 tweets (click to show)(click to hide) Quote:2/ The Trump admin via DOGE is combining several extremely sensitive databases across the federal government. This includes Social Security, the IRS, Medicaid/Medicare, student loans, federal employee payment systems, immigration records, background checks and security clearance forms, etc.
3/ The two biggest are the IRS and Social Security. Combined, these will be able to provide anyone with access of where you live, what your income sources are, who you live with, who your family is, what businesses you own, what bank you use, what you owe on student loans etc.
4/ With the Center for Medicaid/Medicare Services, they can add in all payer claims data and access health records and payments through Medicaid and ACA exchange managed care providers. They could also require state pharmacy boards to turn over all prescription drug monitoring program data.
5/ Effectively, they would have an overview of everyone's health and medical data from claims data along with prescription records for any and all controlled substances.
Then there's student loan information that would show where you went to school, what degree you obtained, and how much you owe.
6/ Federal employees who filled out SF-85's and SF86's for background checks and clearances would have all that data incorporated which includes extremely sensitive information on most anyone who has worked for the federal government, often information many people's own families don't know about.
7/ The EO on databases can extend to drivers licenses and passport information which can pull photos from each to mine for facial recognition. Additionally, they can pull existing fingerprint scans and create a biometric signature for every person in the United States.
8/ The new executive order on unifying all payments and requiring pre-payment certification for all recipients of federal funding, which could include requirements to abide by all executive orders. It'll allow granular level access to shut off individual payments.
9/ This executive order will eliminate all paper checks and centralize all federal payments under digital payment processors that can more easily be managed and controlled.
10/ Combine all of this and Elon and Co. can create a central data repository with the most sensitive information on every American. Not only that, they would have the ability to weaponize it to eliminate dissent in a way not previously possible.
11/ A single profile for every person in the United States that would contain every vital piece of information from tax information to health records to family makeup. Anyone at DOGE could pull up this profile to target you for speaking out.
12/ How this could work:
Show up to a Tesla protest? Surveillance photos capture your face and identify you to federal officials. Your social security payments get shut off and you'll be audited by the IRS. You may find your Medicaid coverage canceled leaving you without healthcare access.
13/ We're already seeing this with mass cancellations of visas for immigrants who say anything critical of Israel or even the United States on social media. This is just the beginning. This will be expanded to target American citizens.
14/ Wait, wouldn't that be illegal? Yes, absolutely but good luck getting a lawyer to represent you when any lawyer that does so is subject to similar sanctions along with their firm. We're already seeing that happen.
It doesn't matter if it's unconstitutional if no one can challenge it in court.
15/ It would be among one of the most dystopian systems ever devised but one that we built up over decades and has now been hijacked by fascists intent on using a surveillance state nightmare to ensure compliance with every demand of the oligarchs.
16/ Wouldn't this be a massively buggy system riddled with flaws from combining so many datasets with disparate structures, sources, etc.? Yes, absolutely. But it doesn't matter to them. If you're an oligarch, any errors would be resolved. An imperfect hammer is better than none at all to them.
17/ This is the end goal here. Eliminate all possibility of dissent by threatening anyone and everyone's ability to live solely for speaking out against the oligarchs and the government.
People need to wake up and realize what is happening before it's too late.

You'd think Nola would be the expert on the term given their post history.
Idiot, Noodlesoup, taking a beating in that thread.
Honestly, at one moment I would say:
“WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ISRAEL AND PALESTINE. IS YOUR COUNTRY THAT YOU SHOULD WORRY.”

I'm not going to keep up with any more stuff in that thread, things to do etc., but this is a good quote to end on.

It's almost like 50,000 dead in a year in an urban war isn't a genocide because genocide requires intent and Israel could have killed every person in Gaza without sending in a single soldier?
What are leftists going to when the word "genocide" loses its power from overuse like they did with "Nazi", "racist", "transphobe"?
