The genocide in Gaza "coincides with a ban on international media and a calculated extermination campaign to assassinate the limited number of people left to document and expose Israelโs atrocities" "In Gaza and the West Bank, Israeli soldiers consistently threaten journalists and their families" โAs Palestinian journalists, we canโt separate ourselves from Gaza or the struggles that we lived"

Once upon a time, I was friends with a guy named Jim. A very, very few of you might know him. Almost all of you wonโt.
I walked away some years ago, blocked him on the socials over his support for the fascist, because I said that the fascistโs promises absolutely, positively, literally required American concentration camps, and thatโs what he was supporting by supporting the fascist, and I could not abide thatโฆ
โฆand yet, he carried on, saying I was a fool, and that none of it would ever happen.
(I asked him then why did he support someone he insisted was lying to him. I do not remember getting an answer, before I quit.)
So now that we have American concentration campsโฆ
โฆand now that people with direct access to the fascist are talking about sending literally every American citizen of Latino heritage there to dieโฆ (it will require more concentration camps than that, of course, but thatโs a detail which makes no difference)
I wonderโฆ
โฆhas he yet been moved to repentance?
Or is he still a good and solid member of that wretched cult?
Itโs immaterial now, of course. We are long past the point where the pebblesโ opinions matter, and crimes already done cannot be undone.
But once in a while, I think of it.
And for a moment โ a pointless, irrelevant moment โ I still wonder.
..and Poppy Bush said he would never apologize for it.
But when MH17 was shot down, they immediately blamed Russia and applied 'sanctions'. ( it was directed to fly over the war zone at one of the lowest flight levels, and was hit over Ukrainian territory, but somehow it was Russia's fault )

In case you didnโt realize this America, you are in a Civil War. The wealthy vs. The poor (Everyone else relatively speaking). The fascist proletariat, who will never see profit from their hate, are pawns of the wealthy who know they love power over others, just like them, and offer up targets to attack they will encourage & never prosecute or change the hierarchy, giving them that power as enforcer as long as they never punch up. Ultimately they are the biggest fucking cowards. Remember that.

What a bizarre thing to censor. Surely they could just disprove the bits that were untrue, rather than enforcing groupthink. Countries arenโt your friend.
That's just what the .ml admins do, check out the megathread
Any criticism of them, their instance, the triad, their stances, preferred sources or their favored authoritarian regimes are generally removed.
And, as a cherry on top, they'll turn around and criticize other instances like .world or SJW as the ones who censor "wrong think" or censor criticism of the instance lol

Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.
From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.
Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.
I don't know about you (and others), but in my experience nowadays, when someone says they're in Security/in the Security Industry, they really mean they're in Compliance, which...I think explains the state of the industry, in more ways than one.
The guts of infosec and "security" have effectively diverged, I think.
Personally, I lay this at the feet of the "business" parasites who co-opted otherwise honest business ventures and relationships in search of capital.
"Jamie Raskin's Preamble to the Big Ugly Bill and Trump didn't like itโ, DailyKos
โMr. Speaker, I found a Preamble to this Big Ugly Bill. We the billionaires, and our King, in order to deform and sicken our Union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our peoples defenses, undermine our general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do herby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by 4 trillion dollars, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America. Please include this Preamble in the legislative record. I yield back.โ

I swear the world would be a better place if there was a limit on how big a state could could be. And by state I mean what is commonly referred to as a country.
Texas is huge in the context of the United States. It's monstrous compared to some countries in Europe, but on the same scale as France and Germany. But it's only a fraction of countries like China, India and Russia.
The influence of the US and these other countries is proportional to the resources they control.
be it human bodies, ability to grow food or valuable shit under the ground, it's all about resources and the power gained by granting or denying access to them on the global market.
If countries were all small, there would be fewer centers of power and more collaboration. We'd still need something LIKE the UN to stop East Bumblefuck from invading West Bumblefuck, but there would be more coalitions because each political unit would have less power.

The Big Death Bill has officially been passed. Despite claiming to want to โMake America Healthy Again,โ hundreds of Republican Congressmembers willingly chose to kick millions of people off health insurance, close hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes, and reproductive health clinics, leave millions of families without enough food, and kill tens of thousands of people. This is the biggest assault on health in recent history.
I fear that some will even cheer about being thrown off health care insurance, such is the hold of the Trump cult in their minds. I saw a man today whose wife was abducted by ICE but he still loves his Trump....that's what I mean by cult behaviour.
