WhatsApp is officially getting ads

For my the best choose is XMPP... More choices, federated, simple and very secure with Omemo. You don't have the security issues like you do in WhatsApp, Telegram or Matrix (who's principal server is in economic problems matrix.org). And Signal... Well it's a long journey and can take very bad turns cause is private and has big ties with the US and big corp, still is and option and you can use the fork Molly.

Large Numbers in Congress Back Attack on Iran, Call for US to Support Israel

Reply in thread

Thats not what you said, you are defending Israel and the violence they are doing all over. That's why you're just like them, you are ok blowing up everything but them you are acting like you don't.

If you oppose Israel genocide and the violence spiral they and USA are promoting, just do us all a favor and be coherent not justifying Israel's acts. And just in case you want to deviate attention, Iran must not have nuks, thats where we agree, but with these attacks they (Israel - USA) are just saying to Iran that diplomacy was just a joke and putting Iran closer to get nuks to dissuade this kind of military interventions.

Bolivia heads to a runoff after an election ends two decades of ruling party dominance

Bolivian people shows their uncomformity with the ruling party but also with the far right discourse that want DEA to return and sounds like Trump or Milei. In the place where I vote Paz/Lara won by a great margin, also did in La Paz, rural and indigenous places (Quechua and Aymara).

Now Tuto's followers are saying that "there is a secret pact with MAS party (the rulers) to maintain his proyect with Paz" which makes no sense. Most of the people cause of the vice-president Lara. They identified themselves with him cause he is humble and have to suffer scarcity, specially when he denounced police corruption and was sanctioned. And I'm pretty sure he's gonna win in October. Just expect that he don't make deals with Tutos far right.

Refresher On The Rules For Discussing Israeli Wars

Reply in thread

There is bit difference between provoked and "self-defense*. We are just being said by Israel that every action they commit is by self-defense, even when they are attacking or doing a f**cking livestream genocide.

The narrative that Israel apologists uses don't have comparation (well maybe one famous genocide), so equal those terms is just misleading.

When she said provoked she means that the US do what's doing to Iran, I mean they are pretending to be negotiating crossing red lines that makes that impossible and when they are ready just attack. So, not, she was not saying Ukraine invasion was justified by "self-defense" like Israelis do, she was just illuminating what happens when you cross all red lines in aggression to other country.

What the 3.5% Rule Tells Us About Protest Success

Reply in thread

Must be very interesting. I previously listen she in David McRaney's podcast YouAreNotSoSmart with not knowing what about that rule and understand that is not like a stone rule, and more an statistical analysis who shows that even minor percentages of people can make it. I'm sure that in the video that you refers, she solves many of the doubts that that such a statement generates.

What the 3.5% Rule Tells Us About Protest Success

Great moment to work for it... And it is possible that a minor percentage than that also will be enough, according to the autor of the rule.

Another interesting interview for better understand this investigations is the one done by David McRaney in his podcast You Are Not so Smart. He is a great host and solve many wrong ideas that comes to peoples mind (me included) when you listen the rule for the first time.
