102 House Democrats, Including Jeffries, Help GOP Send Crypto Bill to Trump's Desk

Reply in thread

The Democrat party is a neo liberal party that aims to transfer wealth and power from workers to corporations, they just want us to have a "safety net" to fall back on when our over exploitation breaks us.

The Democrats are not your friends. We can achieve way better than their sorry little steps of "progress". Yay gays can get married now, too bad very few can afford to!

Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

Reply in thread

Open source will innovate so much faster if properly funded, without the shackles of copyright and companies holding advancements secret and not releasing innovations on purpose as long as they hold on edge on "competition". Competition is only important because of proprietary capitalism, remove capitalism and directly reward the workers and innovation happens for innovation's sake.

Can't wait for this to be proven in practice, and to be able to apply that more widely to society. Godspeed Europe

Israel launches attack on Iran

Reply in thread

Israel and the US have begun their war on Iran with a "regime change" as the stated goal. If they succeed, Israel cements its expansionist goals and the middle east is fucked. If Iran succeeds, Israel is fucked.

There's a small chance of a stalemate and both give up and we go back to "normal" after a whole lot of death and destruction.

The entire middle east is going to be affected either way, and to a lesser extent the world as energy distribution from the gulf will be effected.

[White House] Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

Reply in thread

It's not a distraction, it's a bigger deal!

Stop it! We know he's a pedophile who raped trafficked children, and we know the files won't be released.

This is more pressing. You're distracting from it with your tired meme.

ANTIFA isn't an organized group, it's a term to identify yourself as "anti fascist", and now that nets you a bullshit terrorism charge. People will start getting arrested and questioned about very mild anti trump sentiments and be charged with bullshit terrorism charges.

This is a crackdown on the remaining freedom of expression you can get away with. This is a huge deal.

Activists will be arrested and physically beat over this, we've seen this movie before in other authoritarian dictatorship struggling for power before. You'll soon be dragged into a van and stomped on for posting that stupid meme, but you're not posting it ironically, it's actually your main concern.

Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

Reply in thread

Because Biden said you could? He's the one that doubled tariffs on Chinese EVs from 50% to 100%. Biden also gave the EV tax credit which was essentially a subsidy to Tesla, which Trump ended.

Note that I'm not defending Trump, but simply noting that the US was heading in his direction. He's a symptom of advanced disease, but you don't get to blame him all the shitty things all US presidents ever did. He's a raging tumor, but the cancer was spreading already.

Israel abducts sister of Irish president

Reply in thread

creation of a Jewish state in the middle of a muslim area.

That is not the issue with Israel. Jews lived peacefully among Muslims and Christians in Palestine, the problems started when they started immigrating from Europe to displace indigenous Palestinians on the bases of religious superiority and exclusivity.

The problem with Israel is not that they wanted to create a Jewish only state (that's a different issue), it's that they wanted to colonize and ethnically cleanse Palestine to do it.

TIL american public support for requiring vaccines against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year

Reply in thread

It's not "with technology", it's despite technology.

It's a decades long attack on education, public acceptance of low skill low wage unqualified teachers, and a complete lack of critical thinking in most of the population.

They don't understand how vaccines work, they don't understand statistics, they don't understand chemistry, they don't know how to research despite having the total sum of human knowledge at their fingertips. You tell them vaccines are made from fetuses and harms your children and they stop processing beyond that.

X axes European Commission’s ad account after €120M EU fine

Reply in thread

Every time I said this, I get downvoted.

People on here get really weird about and start downvoting and insulting people who call it X, because they refuse to accept the stupid new name... What are you clinging on to? Twitter is DEAD.

Yes, the new name, X is stupid. It's now the Nazi platform X, accept that and stop using the Nazi platform. Your line in the sand is way further back than it should be, you can't keep using the platform and insist you're giving the finger to Elon by calling it Twitter.

Stop using Twitter, accept that Twitter is dead. Stop using the Nazi platform.
