Christianity is the religion of peace, after all.

They’re not the Epstein files. They’re the Trump pedo-files.

It’s cool. It’ll only take Americans 5-10 years to realize they’ve been in a corporate oligarch dictatorship this entire time.

It’s literally just the network effect. At this point most of the user base probably has an account to keep track of birthdays, organise occasional social events, sell shit on marketplace, etc. That’s why they bought Instagram. FB was rendered irrelevant through enshittification.

As with messaging, if all of the big tech cartels were forced to implement an open source protocol that enabled users with data portability and interoperability, then the platforms would have to directly compete, and their value would drop 100x. Their only value is the closed network and holding user data hostage.

It’s kinda ridiculous how braindead conservatives are everywhere. They’ll do everything they can to blame foreigners — every possible “other” — for all the problems they’ve created or ignored, rather than acknowledge that they are ignorant and incompetent.

Just another example of how America is collapsing under the weight of its own corporate/oligarch dictatorship, corruption, ignorance, racism, and mental illness epidemic.

An intelligent, empathetic leader is basically tied with a traitorous, criminally sociopathic, con artist who possesses zero morals or ethics, and literally works for someone he previously called Hitler…

If the US weren’t a failed state, Trump would be in prison and Vance would be a fucking nobody.

Okay, so why are attacks targeting Jewish people the wrong time to discuss how dangerous the Israeli states actions are to the global Jewish diaspora?

The Islamic world has not grown anti-jewish over the last century in a vacuum, just like they didn’t grow anti-American in a vacuum. The exact same binary “you’re either with us or against us” rhetoric has been displayed after every terrorist attack since 9/11. It’s never the right time to discuss how our own past and present crimes recruit current and future enemies. They just hate us for our freedoms — who we are and our way of life — and that’s the only narrative our ministries of truth deploy.

Hiding executable code in the srt file likely evades various security software.

When is the right time to acknowledge that injustice radicalises people? Once everyone is blind?

How long do we have to act as though Israel’s genocide is not directly causing a sharp increase in “antisemitism” globally?

Coincidentally I’ve noticed a shift in the bots and propaganda on Reddit lately (no account, whatever appears on the redlib front page), attempting to downplay and normalise the abject corruption and criminality with hot takes like “it’s nowhere near as bad as the media makes it seem for the average American”. Like yeah… 1930’s Europe was decent for 95% of Europeans… Right up until it wasn’t, after fascism was normalised and caused the deaths of 100 million people.

Fuck the capitalist dictatorships we live in, where corporations are free to pollute and murder without ever facing criminal charges when they poison everything… because they’re also free to poison our political, legal, and judicial systems.

Then state it was an accident, due to a “special military operation”.

This is what happens every time calculated efforts to dehumanize a population have occurred in history; psychopaths and sadists are enabled to do evil, psychotic shit.

It’s insane, but it should be expected. Fascists have been using social media, traditional media, and surveillance capitalism — big data and analytics — to wage psychological warfare for decades. Most of the major players are American corporations, and all of the world’s elite/oligarchs are all invested in them; they’re all just as anti-democratic, pro-authoritarianism, mentally ill, criminally corrupt, and depraved as each other.

This is the expected result when fascist state media like News Corp are allowed to exist; spewing disinformation 24/7. When a class of ultra-wealthy are allowed to exist, and the multi-tiered “democratic” and “justice” systems they create. When criminals are allowed to operate behind the liability shield of an LLC.

Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

It’s only hard to grasp because her and the entire politician class have been receiving donations bribes from Israel for decades.

What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

It’s almost like he’s a criminally corrupt fascist who possesses zero morals, ethics, or virtues; like the vast majority of “leaders” who succeed under capitalism.

These aren’t “laws”. They’re war crimes committed by a fascist regime.
