Here in the U.S. policymaking is influenced by how much money entities donate to Congress

[SonOfElliotRodger]

Oil executives own congress along with the Jews, the alcohol industry, big tech, big pharmacy.

Lets not forget the feminist cuckservative alliance and badgecuck unions.

During Covid liquor stores were allowed to remain open but the Apple stores and gyms were forced to close.

We rely more on tech and exercise than alcohol which is bad for the body if consumed in harmful quantities.

The liquor industry is probably some what ahead of big tech.

How were liquor stores allowed to remain open but apples stores and gyms were forced to close?

With this administration I'd say that big tech is making leaps and bounds. It's very obvious the US is being turned into a surveillance state even more severe than post 9/11 America. What's worse is these companies like Palantir or Oracle have little or no oversight since they're privately owned on top of being ZOG aligned. Before they became ascendant much of the surveillance data that the government possessed was disjointed and contained within different agency information silos which were usually coveted by their respected agencies. It was also much more difficult to sort through that bulk of data as human analysts were the only way to turn info into actionable intel, but now with AI which these corporations like to triumph is able to more easily parse information at speeds no team of analysts is able to, this has had mixed results by the looks of it as humans now basically exist to rubber stamp a strike authorization onto a selected target presented by the machine as we've seen in Gaza and seemingly Iran, but it is still very dangerous from a freedom-oriented point of view as it now makes oppression more efficient through information dominance as every node in the nation's IT infrastructure is now potentially an eye and ear of the government being fed into a machine trained on looking for dissidents or signs of resistance. Couple that with drone surveillance/ weaponry and you have a perfect mixture for enabling the worse forms of tyranny, I believe we've yet to see the worst this administration has to offer, it is very clear they are trying to make a mad dash towards absolute control while in full view of everyone with eyes to see, all the while trying to deny they are doing anything of the sort. This is why I am convinced a draft over this war in Iran is inevitable, it just makes too much sense, not only will it help satisfy Israel's grand-strategy of dominating the middle-east, but it will allow them to consolidate political power in the US by claiming a state of emergency while having plausible deniability for removing what they deem to be troublemakers from the chess board by either having them drafted or otherwise punished for refusing.

its like this in my country as well. There is no equivalent to the idea of lobbying, in the LUISS university they opened the very first course for lobbying. So you can now become a lobbyist.

The idea of lobbyist is something I learned on american movies, I dont even think you need a title for that. But the LUISS course teaches you a mixture of political science, economy, communication sciences. I got the idea they simply fused 3 departments to recycle some teachers they already had available.

In italy we roll differently, corruption is not open like lobbying is. My country is simply less transparent, and elites have less of a dialog with the public, they seclude in masonries in florence. Mafia has more power to purchase elections here. I heard in USA the power of purchasing vote is very small, so they use another election fraud method. But in my country you can purchase an entire city if you want to.

I always seen lobbying as a more open way to represent the idea of corruption. Lots of populists use empty words against it, but I simply think every place needs to have an open dialog about how much corruption are we willing to tolerate, and what good it does to the collective, and what is the measure of corruption we think is intolerable. Without this talk, we simply pretend is not there but is there.
