Don’t get me wrong, but why are matters of governmental surveillance and control inherently “right-wing” rather than a totalitarian policy not otherwise directly connected to wing politics? Extremists on both sides have a history of creating totalitarian, Big Brother states (which the UK is certainly headed towards).
If Israel stops starving children and razing villages you’ll probably see Hamas’ influence diminish ;)
Or start building underwater cities!
Absolutely the same here… I realise this dude was a waste of oxygen and that the world is better off now… but the 12-year old me definitely has a special connection with him
I suppose it may be time to expand the 30% tariff retaliation to anything owned by US companies.
I think many Westerners have forgotten the inherent power of the police force and the military even in national discourse. We’ve grown accustomed to them being, perhaps thugish , but not a threat to the societal order and, at least to a certain degree, to the liberties that we generally enjoy. Legitimacy and power ultimately stems from military force and the monopoly of violence, and USA is hearing towards Gilead.
Unless you’re tech-savvy and actively change your OS, people just use whatever is shipped with their computer and, yea, Apple isn’t nearly as popular outside of the English-speaking world as it is within it, at least when it comes to laptops. The share of Linux, and other smaller systems, is probably roughly the same.
Because it’s mainly a measure of how much people use Macs. Apple products were always significantly more popular and “hype” in the Anglo world than anywhere else. 5,5% global vs 16% in USA, for example
Finland is great… but they had lots of crazy Nazis in parliament and the highest unemployment rate in the EU (around 10%), on par with Spain and Sweden
Considering that the Nazis learned from USA but had to make racial laws and more laxer I’m not sure they need any inspiration
What are you even mad about? Or are you just trying to be cool and edgy? Russia is an exploitative, genocidal, imperialistic, racist colonial empire whether you like it or not ;)
While it’s so exciting to see idiots simping for Russia. Keep telling yourself they’re not a colonial shit state if you please.
Please do tell me how Russia, as the direct successor state of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union - having exploited, resettled, and genocided millions of people from hundreds of different ethnicities - should NOT be consider a colonial state. You think Slavs are native to Sakhalin or something?
Through conquest and colonial exploits though. That’s like saying Macron is South American because French Guiana exists. Putin was born and raised in St Petersburg; a historically Finnic territory if anything
Russia is a European country at its core controlling a vast portion of Asia through invasion and colonial exploits. France is also located in the Pacific, North America, South America, Africa, but no one would claim that it’s not a European nation.
But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
I think it can be difficult to relate to such abstract concepts and consequences that you don’t feel directly. After all, it’d be much easier to press on a button that’d kill 10 000 people living 10 000 km away from you than to stab one person to death. Out of sight out of mind.
My point being that I don’t think he’s indifferent to people that he doesn’t know, he’s simply not able to process all the ramifications of this particular thing. The effects of data collection and manipulation is quite subtle, after all, like the frog in the slow burning pot
These are the people having sweet dreams about a Gilead-like society every night
