Another day, another way to scare the hell out of people . . . and kill them. From Dr. Naomi Wolf at naomiwolf.substack.com:
Trapped in Surreal Orange Smoke in NYC. Do We Know What Really Happened?
Has our species been trained now not to react to catastrophic danger or even extra super weirdness?
And do we know what really happened on Wednesday in New York City?
Last Wednesday I was in Brooklyn, New York, at about ten am. I had stayed in the borough overnight, as I was preparing to meet a lawyer in Manhattan.
My stay had already become 21st Century-dystopian, as I had foolishly booked myself at the trendy/discounted hotel, Sonder the Industrialist. It turned out that the management has turned physical hotels into a dehumanized data harvesting operation. I arrived at night in an Uber to find myself alone in an industrialized area, with a dying phone, and all the restaurants closing; at which point the app informed me that there was to be no human being to receive me in the lobby, so I had to phone a call center in the Philippines in order to “set up my account,” and then that I must provide an array of invasive private information before I would be granted the code to enter the building.
I followed other exasperated tourists into the lobby, hoping to bypass the data harvesting, but was told by the sweet, sad “security person” at the front desk that he had no powers whatsoever, that there was no key to give me at all, and that I had to finish “completing my account” and “checking in online” before I could hope to get to my longed-for room.
These things happen in the Long March to burn down the world for Karl and Satan.
I almost feel bad for dullards who will realize too late that their precious mommygov doesn’t give a rip about them.
Naw, they are that way for a reason.
The first movie I ever watched alone as a child was Dr. Strangelove and loving the bomb never felt better.
This just in from the great Major Slim-Yeeee hawww!
