Ka is a wheel

Inexorably? …Really? It can’t be turned off?

Religious extremists, you say?

Yes, we should all avoid discussion with humans at all costs, and of course already know everything anyway.

Imagine not knowing something and asking a human for more information? Ew

Sounds like it’s time to bring the U.S some Freedom! 😎🪖🕊️

Indeed.

Wild how the terms of the cease-fire allow both sides to continue to attack each other, amirite?

Isn’t Politico owned by that rich mental dick head btw? Should we be using it as a news source?

But the big headlines today are the Americans bombing Iranian ships, today?

Funny looking cease-fire.

That said, even a real cease-fire doesn’t mean the two nations aren’t at war. It’s a cease-fire, not a peace deal. There still exists a state of war between them which can (and has, in this case) returned to active conflict.

The USA is at war with Iran, whether they like it or not.

My first question would be who are these middle east eye lot, not a news outfit I’d heard of. Wikipedia has this to say, for what it’s worth:

Middle East Eye (MEE) is a United Kingdom-based media website and channel that primarily focuses on news related to the Middle East, North Africa, and the broader Muslim world. Though the organisation denies it and will not disclose its funding sources, it is widely believed that the organisation is funded by the government of Qatar.

You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

Scanning people’s entire history for political leanings, etc? That’s some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

It’s easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they’re benevolent dictators, so we don’t think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don’t ever really know what they’re really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we’ll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it’s time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3

What?

Your comment’s got some unreadable corrupted text there.

especially if it’s using sim/esim card. Those mobile carriers can literally do whatever the fuck they want to your phone and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Wow that’s wild, how does my SIM card allow my carrier to do whatever they want to my phone?

On the face of it, that sounds like a gigantic breach of privacy. Can they look at my photos, capture my screen, read my stored app data, intercept outbound Internet traffic before it’s encrypted, etc? That’s wild.

Not to mention that I bought my phone separately, so it’s got nothing to do with them. As one might imagine, I only added a SIM in order to receive traditional telephone calls, it’s not otherwise useful to me.

haha, I was just thinking about how this is very noticeable here in Manchester, then saw the URL!

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

Given that we’re on a global community, how will this erase my right to free speech here in Europe?

Or were you, like so many, just assuming everybody online lives in your country, so why bother mentioning what country you’re talking about in your title or description?

“turning revolutionary”

Please, in the West we’ve had huge societal crisis after crisis, crumbling rights, services, and stability, etc, and nothing has turned revolutionary.

You think people who are willing (if you look at supposedly developed, modern places like the USA for example) to put up with a clearly predatory evil healthcare & police system, fascist government, almost no basic workers rights, disappearing people from the streets into concentration camps, etc etc, are going to ‘turn revolutionary’ over ANYTHING?

We’ve had every opportunity, every chance to stand up and fight for what’s right for us and others, and the best we can do are a few days of mild protests with some cardboard signs (which, given how far we’ve allowed our rights to be eroded are just as likely to land us in jail, or labeled as extremists).

Turning revolutionary my arse.

Why would the electricity company making extra profits affect how beneficial the DCs are to a region?

Sure, it’d pay for a few more CEO yachts, but that’s about it.

Why must we make everything about Americans?

Sure, the guy paid a visit, but he’s hardly a big political or social force here in Europe.

The funny thing is, THIS seems to be the part the media is rolling with, but if you read the full details about what it can do and how poorly it’s made, tracking your location is only one thing to worry about (though it’s a big one to be fair).

E.g The potential for running arbitrary malicious code if one random dude on the internet (who is unrelated to the US government) has his GitHub account compromised? Daaaaaaawg

The US seems to want us to be extremely focused on one small part of their war - the Strait of Hormuz. It’s all they ever harp on about.

What’s the situation across the rest of the theatre? How close is the US to accomplishing it’s primary war goals?

Why do they suspiciously want us to ignore everything else and focus on this one international shipping transit lane?
