"And this I must fight against: any idea, religion or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for this is the one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system."

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant… then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. […] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”

The UK government is secretly paying foreign YouTube stars to publish “propaganda” videos.
A three-year investigation has found that online influencers are made to sign legal contracts banning them from disclosing the government’s involvement.

»Um die 100 Menschen, überwiegend Israelis, protestieren jetzt gegen die Geschäfte der verbrecherischen Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in Berlin.« Quelle: bsky.app/profile/yossibartal.b…
Die rund hundert Menschen, überwiegend Israelis, die in Berlin gegen die GHF und ihren ehemaligen Sprecher demonstrieren werden nun vom rechtsextremen Redakteur des staatlich finanzierten Hetzblattes JA als "judenfeindlicher Mob" bezeichnet.
Offensichtlich wollen solche Leute dass "jüdisch" gleich gesetzt wird mit "vertritt die Politik der rechtsextremen Regierung".
Peace and Development Are Better Than Austerity and War: The Twenty-Ninth Newsletter (2025)
As military rhetoric and spending by the US and its allies continue to intensify, it is clear that the world must stand up and carve out an alternative path – one rooted in peace and development.
Reason seems to have been gradually abolished by the language of bombs. As weapons systems get ‘smarter’ and ‘smarter’, the range of diplomatic instruments used by the Global North states becomes blunter and blunter. US and European diplomats have returned to the old colonial habit of speaking loudly and brusquely, lecturing the natives about what they should or should not do while they themselves do whatever they want. If the natives do not agree, then the old colonial rulers simply threaten to cut off their hands or bomb their homes.
When the International Criminal Court tried to open a file to investigate US atrocities in Afghanistan, Washington reacted by revoking the prosecutors’ visas and threatening to sanction their families. More recently, the United States government sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her report on corporate complicity in the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. This gangster-like behaviour reflects the longstanding attitude of colonial rulers, indicating a return to a period when the West sent its gunboats to threaten our countries to trade as they wanted us to trade rather than to trade as equals. During the colonial period, that form of behaviour was called gunboat diplomacy. What we have now is an updated version: nuclear missile diplomacy. thetricontinental.org/newslett…
It’s so funny how Trump has stopped even pretending to be a populist. As soon as he was re-elected he was just “Yeah okay so Israel comes first and forget everything I said about free speech and the Ukraine war is continuing and there will be no Epstein investigation, fuck you.”

“I was disoriented, hungry, and nauseous. In Georgia, after suffering a severe asthma attack without my primary inhaler and having a hard cry, I was feeling completely hopeless. In Louisiana, I found myself in a cramped, cagelike bus, waiting for hours. I watched as countless people arrived from a nearby plane, all shackled — hands, feet, and waists. Some were taken inside a building, while others were loaded onto a bus, where I was left behind. I asked for water but was given none.”

Was hanging out with a bunch of Germans and apparently me being American agro to one of them like a NPC.
They apparently were very passionate about gun control and started talking about that and how could we Americans allow such things to happen in our country.
Anyways, it ended up with them talking about self-defense and me saying that you have the unabictous right to kill anyone who threatens you or your property.
They then said no one's property is worth their life, I said well you shouldn't have taken my property, and then I made a gun sound.
Anyways everyone looked at me as if I was complete psychopath so I may have gone to American.
America will never be invaded by a ground army, never ever. It's impossible for any military on earth to take the US territory. Germany? Been partitioned before, will be partitioned again.
The Holy Family Church, the only Catholic Church in Gaza, was struck by a raid this morning resulting in several injuries including the Parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli.
in germany? they just don't see themselves as german elites and don't plan on staying there. see habeck, baerbock and others all moving to the US as soon as they leave office.
They leave after making Germany worse, only to discover HOAs, poisonous food, and personal injury attorneys. And it is at this point that they realize they had something that was still somewhat rare and beautiful, and they ruined it.
I have a real use case for smart lamps. I want to add light switches to places where there is no wiring, and I don't want to destroy my walls to do so. So I've looked into it, even bought a few components. First tests went fine, so I bought more to cover all places where I wanted to do that, and behold, it doesn't work. The stupid fucking things only work with a single switch at a time - unless you add a hub that must be connected to the internet. There's no technological limitation on multi-pairing, it's just a RF receiver on the lamp and a battery-powered transmitter on the switch, but they limit it to one just to force you to have the retarded hub and have to connect it to the internet. How I fucking hate it.
that matched my blutooth experience with car + phone. if i connect my wife's phone it no longer recognizes mine, and i must 'pair' again. if you need to reset bt and pair every time you use the switch, it's easier to just wire in a mechanical switch.
Bluetooth was never really well defined. mostly its just another vulnerble sytem for hackers to abuse.

Life reminder. If you are poor you can’t afford cheap stuff. Today I learned a good lesson. If a paint is super cheap it also means it’s super bad. Had to spend quite some money on paint today (mistake number one was the idea to paint cupboards instead of just doors as those are visible), and seeing how much it will cost (basically the cost of making the entire furniture so far), I figured I would hack the system and grab the paint that was three times cheaper. Pressing fast-forward few hours I’m back in the shop buying the expensive paint. That piece of crap I bought stood nowhere near a paint. More like colored water at best.

An 80-year-old pensioner with severe mobility problems has spoken out about his eviction from a rental property, claiming civilian tenants have been poorly treated since 2020.
Colin Hall told a staggered Nigel Farage on GB News he felt "very disgusted" with the treatment of civilian tenants, suggesting properties may have been allocated to Afghan refugees instead.
"We didn't know whether Afghan refugees were being put in our properties and we still don't,"Hall said.
"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace in the world."
According to a recent Speech First report, the nation’s leading medical schools are controlled by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion fanatics, who inflict beliefs such as “weight inclusivity,” racial justice, and gender ideology on their staff and students through policies, forced statements, and curricular mandates.
It's already deeply ingrained in institutions across America. I have watched medical forms change before my eyes to include more than 2 options for gender. You can identify as male, female, other, female to male tranny, male to female tranny, Genderqueer-neither exclusively male nor female, additional gender category or other, or choose not to disclose. There are 6 choices and IF your gender isn't included in those 6 you can just make one up. 👀🙄
Filed in the fall of 2024, “Critical Condition” analyzed public records from FOIA requests from 54 of the country’s top medical schools, and the results are alarming.
For example, the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School offers a “Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills” program that teaches students to embrace “weight inclusivity,” arguing that weight-loss strategies foster a “culture of shame.” Students are also instructed to avoid terms such as “overweight” or “obese.”

sure, i agree there is a lot of saturn symbolism in corporate logos. the grok black hole just doesn't happen to be one.
as i mentioned previously it's a reference to the singularity. black holes have a ring called an accretion disc.
also everything with 6 sides isn't necessarily a reference to saturn or 666 or what have you. you realize that hexagonal shapes actually appear in nature. the hexagonal shape on the poles of saturn are interesting but i think it's a stretch to say this is somehow satanic. that's a human cultural construct not like satan himself is sitting on saturn somewhere
@meowski "Saturn" being satanic is just christians backwards projecting any thing ever associated with a pagan religion as satanic. You can use Saturn for its scientific or symbolic meanings without believing in the roman imperial cult. It's like how christians are scared of goats because the Israelites put all their sin in a scapegoat. Scared of themselves basically lmao
@KaiserKitty look at it like this- it's important to recognize occultic symbolism where it exists, so we can make informed choices with our money, but not go overboard thinking everything with 6 sides or a swoosh or a circle is occultic. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. i have never heard of christians being afraid of goats though.
