The DOGE Dividend Is A Trap
People need to realize with this dividend narrative, they’re essentially being bribed to stop complaining.
The latest polls show this administration’s actions are deeply unpopular across party lines.
What the desperation of this bribe actually shows is that our combined power is working.
This Republican administration is feeling the heat, and they are responding to the PR disaster in their own fucked up way.
That $5000 is cheap compared to the pricelessness of becoming self aware of and wielding that power consciously.
If we keep putting our power together we might get through this.
But if we fall for this cheap payout (and yes, it’s laughably cheap for what we’re losing in civil rights and democracy if they get away with it) then we deserve to wake up after a six month coke binge (or whatever you personally would do with that money) with nothing to show for it but a bloody nose and a one way ticket to guantanamo if you dare call it a robbery.
Just kidding, none of us deserve that. But most of us are struggling enough that a dollar amount that’s nothing to them sounds life changing.
And I guess it is – but in exactly the opposite way as we all deserve. For me, it’s a no.
My freedom has no dollar amount, I am not selling myself into permanent fash enslavement for $5000.
I’m marking my calendar for the no buy day on February 28 and looking forward to flexing our collective power even more.
Fuck these people and their weird dark techbro fantasies.
If they want brain implants and gulags and drone cops and thought police they can go buy themself an island and die there alone.
The answer is no.
