script for nu-trek confirmed.

“i thought it was optional, like they had the option to work for twelve cents an hour and often did because otherwise you’re just bored doing nothing all day,”

Chris Hedges speaks on this often, it’s not boredom that makes prisoners work. US prisons are fully privatised internally, and the companies who run everything are price gouging prisoners. So if you want to speak with your family once a month you have to pay exorbitant phone rates. We basically take away prisoners humanity and sell it back to them, but only as long as they work for slave labor wages.

Why unions are screaming about this issue I don’t understand, every major US company is by now completely dependent on prison slave labor in their supply chain, it has completely undermined labors power to negotiate, and as hellworld continues politicians will receive more bribes from the prison industrial complex and find news ways of putting more people into the machine.

Sadly this is nothing new for him, Ryan Grim regularly falls for the latest imperial lie, he’s definitely drinking from the US foreign policy consensus Kool-Aid on China and HongKong.

“Yeah I signed up for a 2nd tour since there were no good job opportunities in my state, and you got a $20.000 signing bonus.”

Cut the cord over 5 years ago, never looked back. That thing is a fucking void for the mind.

Started reading books again, watching political videos on youtube, feels great to be actively choosing to engage with informational material again. Checking MSM news sites becomes a stranger and stranger experience once you aren’t stuck in the void. The absurdity of it all becomes obvious. Started with small things like; why are there so many sports and entertainment “news” thats not real news. Now it’s like, this is all bullshit and distractions, they’re pushing lie x and silencing event y.

These people are psychopaths, no shits given what a rightwing coup will do to the population, it’s all about control and geopolitical plays for resources.
