@KrissyKat Never think for a moment that we humble citizens will be exempt from this surveillance. I feel in my bones that we are closer than we should be to a situation where any descent of any kind will be illegal. It happened in #WWI and it can happen again.

Elon Musk: The accidental sovereign?
#History shows us what happens when private industry becomes so deeply embedded in war that it starts shaping its outcomes.
https://contrarian.substack.com/p/elon-musk-the-accidental-sovereign
" #Musk is not the first businessman to dictate the course of #war. A century ago, the Krupp family of #Germany played the same role, supplying the steel, artillery, & tanks that fueled Prussia’s wars, rearmed #Germany after #WWI, & built #Hitler ’s war machine."

@Scatterseed how WWI started; at my college,there was a massive role-play to explain this : two terms long wtih newspapers, telegrams, and secret notes. In some years the war blew up early, and sometimes war was avoided. #WWI #OccidentalCollege #PoliticalScience #History
