For thoughtful response to thoughtful inquiry contact my email. Don't send me private direct messages on the Fediverse. If you have a general question ask it in a public timeline. I block users who send me annoying private messages about things that should be asked in a public timeline.

I sometimes post links to items I find curious, interesting, or of research and study value. This does not necessarily mean that I agree with the linked matter. Don't assume.

THE MEDIEVAL SOCIAL GRAPH

Why the Inquisition Built the Surveillance State

https://clairesalerno.substack.com/p/why-the-inquisition-built-the-surveillance

The real motive behind web 2.0, web 3.0, the cloud, AI, and panopticon nonsense is to identify and isolate heretics.

"They began with the network. If you can find one suspected heretic and interrogate them about their associations, who they speak to, who they share meals with, whose homes they visit and which neighbours are sympathetic, you can build a list of names."
"Then, you visit each of those people on the list and ask them the same questions. From this you can build a map of the entire community, identifying relationships and flagging suspects."
[. . . . .]
"They used the social fabric of communities and rewarded those who denounced others. They reduced penalties for cooperation, and built the assumption that staying silent is itself suspicious."
"They made it so the rational choice for any individual in the community is to inform on neighbours before neighbours inform on them. This creates a self-policing community. The community does the work, with the institution as the receiving authority."
"Think about that for a moment, because it describes the current digital surveillance apparatus exactly."
This is exactly how the bulk of social media and online platforms work to maintain thought control and censorship. It is following the Roman model of fascism, while pretending to denounce fascism, or vocally denouncing socialism, while supporting socialism for the rich. The people screaming the loudest about 'fascists' or 'socialists' or 'communists' or 'liberals' or 'nationalists' or 'racists' are in fact the imperial collaborators, the turncoats, the snitches, the sellouts, the shills, etc.

    But what if those 'heretics' would suppress us if they have any power? What if they would use violence against us if they had any strength?
    What if they are tyrants, fascists, holocaust-deniers-but-also-promoters, kraterocrats?

      @light @octade Sure is a bummer how there’s no middle ground between “holocaust” and “panopticon,” huh?

          The righteous are already being repressed while the wicked posture themselves as righteous freedom fighters. Both extremes on the left and the right serve the same imperial master, most of them as useful idiots and parrots, led by pied imperial pipers play-acting a part.

          The war is collectivism vs individual identity and liberty. That has always been the war. There is no other war. If you join up with a collective identity, you are the oppressor. Freedom means being free to be who you are instead of being pressed into a mold for administrative or ideological convenience.

          Most slaves love their slavery and have no concept of real freedom. The idea is foreign to them. So they replace freedom with license to fill the void. They march to the piping tune of liberation fronts and liberation theology and nation-saving movements and nation-saving theology. It's all satanic bullshit dreamed up by the ruling con artists.

          If you want to pass laws to restrict the liberty of your neighbor you have no right to cry when they turn the tables and do the same to you. If you want to force your neighbor to agree to things, you have no right to complain when they turn the tables and do the same to you.

          People who do not trust in the divine to render judgment seek to usurp his place. And they always carry out this usurpation in the name of some noble cause.

          If you think I'm going to take sides, you are mistaken. Both sides are WRONG. Both sides are the baddies. There are no good guys in these wars.

          The good guys refuse to participate in playtime with monsters.
