The device chain is a classic misdirection, it seems everyone here is just following Meta’s lobbying to put this into the OS.

Even the carrier layer would be better than the mobile device layer.

Or, you know, just look at Singapore’s or Swiss National SSO - it functions on an app that layer just fine, no issues

Like every school shooting, every energy crisis brings opportunity to saturate the airwaves with shallow noise that gets people overly upset and they’ll ignore everything else.

Every player on both sides is abusing this mechanic for all eternity.

It’s a rhetorical question, of course, because we all know it’s because China is winning the traditional economic game on the manufacturing the McKinsey and Bain class sold out for decades and therefore military will have to become the new leadership measuremen, only appreciating as an asset in a less safe dog eat dog world.

The Thiels and friends who came up with this shit of course have their own infrastructure in their end time bunkers, but however stupid this gambit sounds, it’s what’s being played right now.

So I’m confused. I really am, help me understand your world view.
