They argue that these developments are part of a centralized effort to eliminate user sovereignty and force compliance through integrated smartphone apps and cloud-based computing. They address the physical infrastructure of this shift, noting how the AI boom and supply chain disruptions are making private hardware unaffordable for the average consumer. This transition from ownership to a subscription-based rental model allows corporations to monitor and potentially terminate access based on "thought crimes" or political dissent. They advocate for solution-oriented strategies and announce their first ever live Escape the Technocracy Workshop with Geopolitics & Empire.Escape the Technocracy Live Workshop (w/ Geopolitics & Empire)! https://escapethetechnocracy.com/product-escape-the-technocracy-live-workshop-season-2Listen/Download on SpreakerWatch on BitChute / Brighteon / Odysee / Rumble / YouTube*Support Geopolitics & Empire!Become a Member Donate https://geopoliticsandempire.com/donationsConsult https://geopoliticsandempire.com/consultation**Listen Ad-Free for $4.99 a Month or $49.99 a Year!Apple Subscriptions Supercast https://geopoliticsandempire.supercast.com***Visit Our Affiliates & Sponsors!Above Phone https://abovephone.com/?above=geopoliticsAmerican Gold Exchange https://www.amergold.com/geopoliticsEscape The Technocracy (15% off w/ GEOPOLITICS!) https://escapethetechnocracy.com/geopoliticsExpat Money (FREE “Plan B” Report!) https://expatmoney.com/geopoliticsPassVult https://passvult.comSociatates Civis https://societates-civis.comStartMail https://www.startmail.com/partner/?ref=ngu4nzrWise Wolf Gold https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=geopoliticsWebsitesWatchman Privacy https://watchmanprivacy.comEscape the Technocracy https://escapethetechnocracy.com/geopolitics Gabriel Custodiet on X https://x.com/WatchmanPrivacy Urban Hacker on X https://x.com/realUrbanHackerAbout Gabriel Custodiet & Urban HackerGabriel Custodiet is the creator of Watchman Privacy and Escape the Technocracy.
