did you ever notice that all the nations that pursue this course of action are labeled as “rogue nations”?

it’s like they’ve successfully convinced their people with their own propaganda that whomever doesn’t toe the american/western hegemony narrative is a “rogue nation”. lol

very early and i’m hope i’m just a bitter old man that wants to see the world change for the better during my lifetime. lol

.world proves that not even decentralized social media is immune from the US empire’s propaganda…

This is why red and blue magaa are the loudest voices in the media

i have a pair of pi2’s and this looks like it’s cat friendly; i think i might start doing xmas again. lol

every accusation is an admission.

there was a mural of this nearby where i lived in austin, but i could never find out who did it because my google searches just showed seemingly random results when i searched for “hi, how are you”

adding in “daniel johnston” into the search terms has finally made me aware of it’s background and the wikipedia article about it is bizarre considering that i first became of aware of it when i witnessed the austin police beat up and harass homeless and clearly mentally unwell people nearby an advertisement version saying “thai how are you” and the wiki article says this:

In 2018, the Mayor of Austin, Texas, declared January 22 (Johnston’s birthday) to be “Hi, How Are You Day”, a day dedicated to mental health awareness funded by the non-profit organisation of the same name.

now knowing that it gained widespread popularity due to kurt cobain makes it feel like a formerly niche cultural reference has been co-opted by the mainstream and now its original intention is so far gone that it has become an advertisement vehicle where basic civil rights can be seen abused by an authority that pretended to embraced it less than a decade ago.

The willful ignorance displayed by the pro-capitalist political groups (eg liberals, conservatives, most libertarians, and some anarchists) make it clear to me that bothering w the mask of “international law” is meaningless now as exemplified by statements like “quit talking about Gaza” or “Ukraine didn’t provoke Russia” being embraced wholesale despite proof to the contrary easily available w a single 30 second Google search away.

People make up their minds based on repetition of talking points that they get from both legacy and social media and the people who take any efforts to investigate beyond these taking points are labeled as malcontents at best and tankies at worst and doomed to watch society repeat history.

this leaves trump to do as he pleases with venezuel, gaza, iran, etc. and only the people who pay attention; whether through personal interest or a desire to dig beyond the talking points; will be the only ones aware of what’s actually happening and willfully ignored by a huge majority of people, including international bodies like the UN.

this part from the article probably says it better:

Joe Biden justified bombing Yemen to the public by saying it needed to preserve “product shipping times.” Trump justifies bombing Venezuela because “300 million people died of drug overdoses last year,” a number that no one finds credible, but it’s just as well, a blatantly false claim no one is perturbed by any longer.

can you share the source to this please?

these kinds of actions make it clear that BRICS is nowhere near strong enough to stand up the G7.

something like this happened to be too circa 2005 and it made me switch to debian; which stayed rocked solid until 2016 when the motherboard died.

i think it’s a bot scrapper.

the videos i see on tiktok make it clear that they’re using excessive force and i wish the local gov’t reacted more than what they’re doing now.

The kids are alright

revolutionary fervor is also strongest with the young and i hope that they’re prepared for the unversity’s response.

when my university banned the paper and the students body responded like this; the unversity had the security guard find and throw away all of the printed copies they could find.

what’s ESO?

google suggests it’s elder scrolls online, but i’ve never heard this before

it will always be developing nation unless its economy gets large enough to threaten the hegemon and they it’ll become an authoritarian dictatorship.

TIL that you can 3d print with colors.

what do you do if you need a color you don’t have. i’m presuming that you mix them, but how?

doesn’t this have a more domestic impact that overseas?

i wonder how they’ll be able to identify them since they’re not required to wear badges nor show their faces.

it makes you wonder why they bother then the framework for pre-emptive strike has already been set for decades now and they even used it less than a year ago.
