There really should be a focus on government-level efforts in the EU, to force mobile manufacturers to standardise and open source all firmware sold in its jurisdiction. All OSS mobile OS’s (not on custom OSS hardware) rely on Android solutions because mobile hardware is bespoke, closed source, and non-standard from device to device; the opposite to the PC ecosystem that enabled Linux. The Apple/Android duopoly won’t be broken if mobile hardware vendors can continue creating custom closed-source firmware for their hardware, and there’s simply no reason to allow this anti-competitiveness to continue.

I consider the US to be suffering a mental illness epidemic… ever since 9/11, really. The fervent nationalism and propaganda displayed back then was insane, and it’s only gotten worse.

All of US conservatisms mental-illnesses are self evident, but the “liberals” are also so brainwashed and propagandized that they’re still holding out for future elections while the dictatorship is installed before their very eyes, their only hope for leadership is 1% career politicians and billionaires, and it is well beyond the stage for wide scale general strikes, and preparation of armed insurgency and secession.

Capitalism… All of it.

There isn’t a single multinational that acts based on ethics or morality.

Then we can virtue signal “never again”, while “donating” bribes to the nazi’s and establishing our new office in nazi-controlled Gaza.

Yup. It’s fucking disgusting — and highlights our narcissism — every time someone tries to reassure us that humanity will likely survive the destruction of the planet.

I don’t care about humanities survival. Look at the beauty we have destroyed, for fucks sake! After doing what we’ve done to this planet, we don’t deserve to survive. We’re lucky hell doesn’t exist.

So banning foreign companies entirely is more ethical than letting them compete and nationalising them when they fail or become too greater risk?

Makes perfect sense!

Humanity is conducting a reckless unplanned terraform of the only place that can sustain us within lightyears, at the very least, and have killed off 70% of the macroscopic biomass in less than a human lifetime, but not to fear… Some nonce cunt on the Internet called you a doomer!

I’m sure billions of mentally-ill talking chimps doing whatever they believe benefits them personally will all magically sort itself out before we destroy enough of the natural processes we depend on.

It’s super surprising America is a fascist dictatorship now, huh? It’s not like there were early indicators or anything…

I just chose to never have kids because there was never any possibility that humanity would overcome our narcissistic greed prior to ecological collapse.

That was 20 years ago. The last decade has only solidified the certainty of collapse in my mind.

You joke but their goal is to replace every institution with a ministry of truth. They’ve done it with the media, they’re doing it with government institutions that used to be independent and evidence based, and they won’t stop until they control all information.

It’s not about nothing. It’s a great history lesson and example of how the USA supported fascists immediately post-genocide. Here we have a billionaire nazi weapons manufacturer who only served 3 years in prison “for some reason”.

He was convicted of war crimes by an American military tribunal at Nuremberg in 1948. He was sentenced to twelve years in prison, but was released after serving less than three years when his sentence was commuted by the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany.

Why was he not executed? Oh, that’s right… Because he was a billionaire businessman, and we live in capitalist dictatorships — representation is proportional to wealth — masquerading as “democracies”.

Further evidence that Christian evangelicals are trying to destroy the planet and proactively create the end of times… because they’re fucking deeply mentally ill.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

Conservatism is a dead end death cult predicated on tribal fear and ignorance of the unknown.

My bet is 90+% of oligarchs and every corporation they hold a major share/role in.

You can’t defeat a fascist dictatorship by voting with your wallet (better than not, but won’t stop an in-flight coup).

Fun fact! Many studies have proven that timing nutrition is almost inconsequential unless you are an athlete, bodybuilder, etc (e.g. differing daily protein intake between 1 dose vs 5 doses will only result in few % variance).

Our biology is designed for wildly varying access to food.

Just corporate dictatorship things…

Best Americans can do is let the nazis win.

I really wish Ukraine could eliminate Putin and as many of his inner circle as possible. The world would be so much better off if all narcissist megalomaniacs were in the dirt.

Sanction Israel. Force them to pay reparations to rebuild all infra destroyed, and ban Israeli contractors from all any involvement.

They won’t though, because we live in corporate dictatorships that exist to serve and protect capital.
