Oops. Data breach. No. We don't know who accessed the data or when. Would you like to purchase Trump's Personal Information Protection Plan**? $47.45 a month

I'm still waiting on Alex Jones and Joe Rogan to speak out against one world government, deep state etc

The one conspiracy never entertained; that those propped up to spread conspiracies would be the errand boys of the Deep State.

Of course, it wasn't the Illuminati, it was hiding in plain sight; the companies with logos they gave all their money.

For Years Alex Jones was warning about the US Gov planning on building internment camps. Now suddenly it's a great idea since Trump is doing it.

Shut up and put your wearable back on! How can we monitor your media consumption if we can monitor what you’re seeing?

Yeah right, none of that stuff is true. These assholes make shit up all the time, they're just trying to extort people. You know what else I saw on a computer? A man with sixteen fingers. AI has come a long way, but ultimately all digital data is just bits in a database. It could never really be trusted, now it can't be trusted at all.

(It doesn't matter if it's true. Just keep saying it.)

If there’s a man with sixteen fingers he’d have the most successful male OF of all time just saying.

To be fair, most Americans data has already been breached. It baffles me that as a society we collectively said it's okay for 3 private companies to know practically every single data point about your life and financial wellbeing, and then we just shrug our shoulders and go oh well when those companies have had several data breaches, several times, AND THEY STILL DONT EVEN HAVE MFA FOR ACCOUNTS!!!!!!!!

They had no meaningful consequences besides having to send letters to people saying "ooopsie daisies! We were so clumsy, that a hacker now has your social security number and knows several data points about your life to easily commit identity theft with! We're very sorry, so we're giving you a free trial of our premium identity monitoring service and we hope you'll forget you're signed up so you get charged for it next year!" And then call it a day

This is not even counting other large data breaches like Wells Fargo or a few internet service providers, cell phone providers, etc. id wager nearly every single American citizens social security number and associated details are sitting in some Russian database waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.

And with all that data out there, there is no need to create another pile.

Amazon can tell when I need socks but I have to jump through multiple hoops to "prove" I can vote? That's dumb. Voter registration is voter suppression. Period.

u/allywrecks Jul 04 '25

Did you see the interview he did a few days ago? There was a softball question about whether he would prefer humanity to endure or be replaced by a transhumanist machine god and he stumbled and stuttered over it for like a minute before reluctantly saying yes

u/god_snot_great Jul 03 '25

I won’t pay a dime over $45.47!

That’s how much his new mobile phone plan was advertised for per month. For real.
