As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.
Of the US's own capabilities?
Americans try not to scapegoat foreigners for their own domestic problems challenge (impossible).
Here you are, blaming the decline of the US empire on evil scheming foreigners and y'all fucking wonder how oh how fascism is so popular lmao
I'm not the one making up jingoist conspiracy theories to avoid having to confront the real problems
Just keep believing increasingly unhinged BlueAnon conspiracy theories. The US is just a smol bean fragile liberal democracy being mind controlled by the bad, mean, no good authoritarian foreign masterminds. Previously.
The conspiracy theory debunkers are the real conspiracy theorists!
another day, another dem in lemmy truly believing that his country is an immaculate, flawless crystal, that just happens to be tarnished by the evil chinese and russian... gop ended in power regardless of its own bigoted, prejudicious (white) people, bloodthirsty elites and a political-economical system that rewards cronies. blame just those inhumane, eastern, mongolic-looking people from beyond the sea.
The Nazis were also extremely incompetent when I came to stuff like this. Hitler had generals scrambling behind his back to produce their best weapon, but he kept finding out and making them stop along with tons of other micromanaging.
Trump is an idiot and so is musk. Most business people are short sighted and fascists even more. They also may be high on their own farts and think the system won't collapse with them "in charge" like a toddler left in s room full of candles and napalm.
Not saying that foreign powers aren't loving this, but they don't have to have control over it.
That's right, be sure to check for communists under your bed everyone!
TBH, I think that's giving too much credit to those in charge. They don't want to be China's or Russia's puppet. They imagine themselves the puppeteers (whether that's true or not).
This makes more sense than these parasites submitting to a foreign adversary lol
That's not what's happening. The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
USSR leadership did... And some of them become the new global oligarch elite. Others got dead.
Current clonw posse could be trying to do something similar, thinking they can do better for themselves
It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything
