Swiss direct democracy is a better example than Soviet system.

Surveillance capitalism knows more about you than government agencies.

You should be able to enjoy a concert without being put on display.
I don’t want my picture taken when I’m high as fuck and make out with strangers while partying.

Yes, times were so much better when the Ottoman Empire ruled and oppressed the Middle East and beyond. Truly an empire of peace.
The Mughals were also welcomed in India as friendly visitors, as we all know.
- Comment on British Slander. :) 2 days ago:
As we all know wars, conflicts, conquest, exploitation, and oppression were totally unknown to the rest of the world before Europeans exported them worldwide. Coincidentally Europeans also removed all supplies of agency from the rest of humanity and hoarded it in the imperial core.

- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 6 days ago:
There are fans that attach to the backs of phones. Of course they use electricity as well.
Clipping a sterling engine and a radiator to the back of a phone could be fun.
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 6 days ago:
USB 1.0 barely got any traction. I have never seen a device in the wild.
USB 1.1 exploded in use and was fantastic compared to the mess before. It was fast enough for most file sizes at the time.
USB 2.0 is still very usable today.

There‘s wireless charging as well. Wifi and Bluetooth for data.
Smart watches usually only use wireless charging. So it shouldn’t be far off phones. Slow charging is a downside, but it’s still fast enough for an overnight charge.

- Comment on Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer 1 week ago:
Because they want ideological purity to feel good about themselves more than actually be in power and enact change. A pretty typical leftist predicament.
- Comment on BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler 1 week ago:
There’s still some information on certain topics, where it is the best place to find it. OSINT for example.
People who use Twitter to publish and have a large audience are reluctant to leave their followers behind. Convincing followers to go over to a new platform is not so easy. If you fear losing 70% of your followers, if you switch to Blusky, or 95% if you switch to Mastodon, then it might be risky financially.
Network effects are strong.

- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 2 weeks ago:
Thank you. I see lots of vandalism, breaking and entering, blocking business entrances, and such. They are well organized and committed. They seem to have some success with that as in companies divesting or stopping to supply. Pretty impressive.
Going after the RAF for a tenuous connection to Israel was a bit too daring and turned out to be a mistake.
- Comment on As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused to show ID without explanation or cause. 2 weeks ago:
Some kind of police is necessary. Public order needs to be kept, laws enforced, crime fought, dangers prevented. A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.
What kind of powers, tasks, oversight, and so on police gets is the issue.
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 2 weeks ago:
they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank
Do you have some reading on this?
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 2 weeks ago:
The movie references the splintering of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).
- 1967 Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF)
- 1968 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC)
- 1969 Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)
- 1972 Popular Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Palestine
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 2 weeks ago:
Those planes deserved to be vandalized. Hell, they deserved to be set on fire. It’s a shame they weren’t destroyed completely. If those planes are being used to carry out a genocide, then they should be destroyed.
The planes were totally unrelated to what’s going on in Gaza.
Destroying planes that are bound to assist in bombing in Gaza
What’s the indication these planes would do that? Israel doesn’t even need British tanker planes to fly the tiny distance to Gaza.
