joe geobbles once said that you couldn't have good government without good propaganda...which may or may not be true depending on your perspective on what constitutes good government...it seems that the underpinning of "good government" has been quietly shifting from propaganda to data ( not that old joe and company weren't curious about what "the volk" were up to...some things never change )...that politicians, and by extension governments, lie thorough their teeth is a given most ten year olds understand...they understand top down authority and its inherent resistance to change as well so they grow up to become corporate executives, lawyers, and yet another generation of lying politicians...it is the way of things...and authoritarian oligarchs posing as elected officials serving at the behest of "the people" and, allegedly, in their best interest are nosy parkers who want to know what you had for lunch and who you ate it with...and that is nowhere near as deep into the minutia of your life they'd like to delve...facebook and google are pale imitations of the nsa and we all bloody well know it...even though some are in deep denial about the whole apparatus and have bought into the " the system is broke and if we only adhered to the letter of the constitution everything would be swell again" tissue of whoppers hamilton, jay , and madison told to pull a fast one on the proles...system aint broke...working as planned ...but i am digressing here...this wonderful email from my internet provider landed in my inbox today and it is a stunner...of course they're working with the fcc since it is the regulatory body that has, among other things, killed net neutrality and opened they way for them to soak any and everybody...how could they not work with that? and, in a clear effort to improve my "online experience" the want me to sign up for a program that will "measure" my large file download speed and the quality of my video streaming...if i sign up and i am "selected" they are willing to send me a "new t-p link router enabled with SamKnows ( what a fucking giveaway )performance measurement software"...i can give them a categorical "no thanks"...as i see it the government and facebook and google and every other corporate structure you care to name already have a fat portfolio of what and who i am...why should i volunteer more information? let them find it on their own...they are fairly effective at it...they know where i live and what i buy from amazon and what video streams through here already...why should i aid them in acquiring data faster? that is the crux of their proposed "improvement" near as i can tell...fuck these people...where is the lake of fire?
