- Comment on South Korea outraged at 300 workers treated as ‘prisoners of war’ in US raid 1 month ago:
I think it’s important the left really understands that Israel IS the USA. Israel is not “controlling the USA like a puppet”. Israel is and always has been an extension of Western imperialism and colonialism in West Asia.
This doesn’t mean that Israeli institutions aren’t buying politicians at all levels. They are. But it is not materially different than Oil companies buying our politicians. These are western capitalist interest. Viewing them from a lense of anything but class interest is a mistake.
I think this is important to understand especially as the right wing base becomes more anti Israel. They are going to begin saying a lot things that leftist have already been saying for the last few years. It’s important to know where that is leading though and what material things will result from it. And stopping material support of Israel is NOT what will occur.
The right wing rulers will use this to fuel stronger xenophobia. Xenophobia and racism that has been accepted and normalized towards Muslims and Arabs will be expanded further towards other groups.
The right wingers of this country WANT there own version of Israel here. They want a white supremacists state. They will sooner “deport American Jews to Israel” than they will actually stop supporting it materially.
Israel is literally exactly what Nazis wanted to create in Madagascar. They are not abandoning that project. Even if they are publicly anti Israel to spread xenophobia and “America First” propaganda. They are using it to fuel Nationalism.
They are are jealous of the Zionist state and want to duplicate the actions of that state for white supremacy in America.

Really good journalism.

- Comment on Microsoft confirms it made $27 billion after laying off 9,000 people, and its CEO physically cannot stop talking about AI 2 months ago:
Those are the types of measures that have been attempted for generations. It’s how we got here. There is no hope changing a system from within that is designed to serve the interest of the wealthy. That system will only ever offer temporary measures when it feels it is within its own interests to maintain itself. Social security and Medicare were not some idea FDR came up with to help the working class. They were fought for a pressured for by socialist, communist, and trade unionists literally taking up arms and threatening capitalist production. These social programs were an offering prevent the actions that threaten to tear it down. They were an offering to the working class to prevent revolutionary change.
But, here we are again. Hoping for another FDR without any of the material threats to capital. That will not come about without organized labor and with a means to defend themselves.

Absolutely. Sorry, I’m so close to this that I just forgot to explain. These are the things my coworkers and comrades got fired for speaking out against.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms it made $27 billion after laying off 9,000 people, and its CEO physically cannot stop talking about AI 2 months ago:
Supports a genocide too. I don’t know if I count in that 9000 statistic. But a lot of us have been fired for speaking out against it too. Fuck Microsoft.
They literally went as far as restricting emails with the word “Palestine” in them. Would take sometimes hours to arrive or not at all. They are actively supporting and enabling a genocide; and may history judge it’s leadership.
- Comment on 1940s do be repeating 3 months ago:
I think it was the onion that did the “Nazi vs. KKK” as being the two party system in the US.
It made me think of the “Purity Nazis” vs. the “Mecha Race Nazis”.
Is our future two Nazi parties fighting about abolishing all but the white race vs. the one that just wants to abolish the entire human race?

Nice. I learned about different applications of whisper because I’m a degenerate.
- Comment on UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide 3 months ago:
I really wonder what Canadian capitalist are thinking. I guess their thoughts are to try to keep Canadian politics as “Liberal” as possible to avoid growing anti American sentiment along with anti capitalist sentiment (something that obviously goes hand in hand). I’d guess they are trying to avoid that connection and working to maintain national solidarity in place of what could very quickly be class solidarity if they are not careful.
Because at the end of the day the capitalist class of Canada is essentially just an extension of US capital. And I’m not saying this in an “Americas hat” kind of way. It’s just how global capital works and even more so with Canada because of its geographical proximity.
I worry the capitalist in Canada are working to ensure the “pro Canada anti-American” politicians are well within their hands. And when the point comes to squeeze the working class of Canada harder it will likely be done through the means of “Canadian Nationalism”; and ensuring the masses view their suffering as a fault of “America” and not for what it really is; an attack in both countries on the working class.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 3 months ago:
If there is ever justice for Palestine they trials will be short. These bastards are so proud of their support for genocide.
- Comment on goodbye plex 3 months ago:
I’ve heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can’t say I’ve tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it’ll be like she’s sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.
Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate “grandma” setup. But I digress.

For some reason I get permission errors on jellyfin every time I use it. Never with Plex. I’ve gone through the steps to fix it before. But when you change your shit as much as I do. I just stay with Plex because it’s plug and play. And I have the pass. I don’t have the time to fuck with stupid shit with jellyfin.
- Comment on goodbye plex 3 months ago:
Plex still good for the boys that bought the lifetime pass. I understand why people would change. But it’s still the best plug and play option. Waiting until they break the “lifetime” thing and fuck us over.
