Or sometimes, just an authoritarian government.

Exactly. There is no such thing as rights in that context as we have seen governments take them and be force to relinquish them throughout history. Everything can be taken or revoked.
Inalienable rights are a pipe dream of idealistic, naive people who have never lived in the real world where these so-called Rights had be fought or died for.
Just look at the current state of the the UK, their PM proudly stated that 400 were arrested for posting shit online. WTF? In Germany a man was charged for calling a fat, obese politician ‘fat.’ The UK wants to become a nanny state, for your protection, you see. Same with Germany and others. They are literally and slowly coping the CCP police state model.
In the USA, in some States is now literally Illegal to NOT do business with Israel. But you want to not do business with Canada or Mexico, then go right ahead. Nobody cares. Gee, I wonder who is funding these policians, AIPAC? Yes.

Whether people like or not, 4Chan has had a huge influence on internet culture, and thus culture as a whole. What you are really describing is just /POL or /B. 4Chan had a news, books, tech boards that nothing to do why what you are thinking.
As content, terms and memes down current into the normie internet. From all types of content. For example, the term “Slop” which I see now used as way to describe soulless, current media content is now being used by many YT content creators /, which came from 4Chan, specifically the term goyslop which is noe years old. I mean there are dozens if not hundreds of other examples. The concept of Bronnies started as a joke on 4Chan that spun out of control.
Israel’s psyops on 4chan could be to indirectly manipulate and to demoralise English speaking countries by poisoning the well. It is almost as if Israel literally does every single stereotype they claim they do not do, and will call everyone antisemitic over it. I am almost certain the push the BBC meme as to create racial tensions. It is just a devide and conquer geopolitical move. Other countries do it, too.

Cool and true advise. 95% of users or normies will literally not do that.

I was under the impression that if a phone restarts, then you cannot use biometrics. You have to use a pin/password/etc.

- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
I still have and will continue to purchase TVs for as long as I can. Not smartTVs.
As a side note, I went to Best Buy and asked them about non-smartTVs. They literally said they had 2 models. A small, tiny TV and a larger TV which they did not have a model on the floor. They would have to bring it out or I would have to go the back.

You can not make any commentary on Communism here. You will get down voted even if your criticism was correct. Probably even more so and the reason why this is likely to get downvoted out of hand, as well.

- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 3 weeks ago:
Technically, no propaganda of any sort at all.
Counter propaganda or anti-propaganda is just differently angled propaganda. You cannot fix propaganda with more propaganda.
If you want to understand your mom, you need to see or read what she sees. Just telling her she is wrong is not going to help. Repeating that she is wrong is jot g9ing to help.
Plus as an adult that she is, you might not be able to dissuade her. Perhaps, you may have to simply not touch the topic when with her.
When I was younger, I naively used to think that if I had the facts or Academic papers or research to prove point XYZ on side l, that I would be able to argue valiantly against some people I used to know. Ha, I was so silly. I could literally point or give the proof to my arguments on a silver platter, down to page numbers or exact quotes, and people would simply not even bother to read them, because they were certain they were right. Some people just want to be Right, not Correct. Due to such worldviews being driven not by fact but by emotion. Fear, anger, bias, lies by omission, but usually peppered with some facts here and there, etc.
Trying to change them, will just end up in damaging your current bonds. Do you want to risk that? Maybe over time. But just focus mostpy on what you have and enjoy the time you have, over spending it arguing. Life is short enough as it is.
- Comment on Tariffs on Canadian goods having a 'devastating effect,' U.S. farmers say 3 weeks ago:
Farming has always been a bit precaurious, where bad seasons can fuck you up financially, and where needed hardware to remain competitive is extremely expensive to purchase and maintain. On top of that, if you are a smaller farmer you have to compete against other farmers, plus much larger companies. Either by selling your stuff yourself or selling it to them.
Keeping even a mini empire plus working the land can be difficult and time consuming. Plus, not everyone wants to be a farmer so your kids may not want to follow the trade which was not the case 50+ years ago. So, just lots of challenges.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 3 weeks ago:
Good on them. The use of AI in military applications conveniently gets next to 0 coverage both in these type of events and also in the general news media.
Same with drone warfare. Which should terrify us all. Imagine a swarm of 30-50 drones with small explosives attacking some public event? Hell. Even jist a couple. Sadly. It will happen one day, sooner than we think.

Exactly. :-/
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t capitulate. They were mostly faking it all along, friend. It made for good profit at the time and to get good Blackrock or Vanguard investment money. This is why despite putting rainbows in X, or FB, or YT, or LinkedIn profiles in the USA or in some Western countries, no company ever did that in any profile outside the West. It was all for show… and money. If they actually believe it they would have done so across the board. Yet they didn’t. They were just hoping most people wouldn’t notice. Many did. There was a meme RE: this floating around from years ago, too.
