Trump prend des sanctions contre la CPI (Cour Pénale Internationale) en gelant des comptes bancaires et en bloquant les comptes mails. Avec la collaboration de Microsoft.
Notez bien ce qui vient de se passer : Une organisation qui n'est pas de droit américain, non située sur le sol des USA, vient de voir ses services en ligne bloqués parce qu'ils déplaisent au gouvernement américain. abcnews.go.com/International/w… (merci à @zgou)
Faut dire qu'ils n'ont pas été inspiré dans le choix de leurs fournisseurs ! Des sociétés d'un pays non signataire et opposant majeur à la CPI. C'est tendre le bâton pour se faire battre.
Pas seulement les Gafam. Ce sont les USA qui ne sont pas nos amis. Les amis de personne, d'ailleurs. Que ce soit au niveau militaire et commercial, ces gens ont tous les droits. Je rappelle qu'il n'y a pas si longtemps, les entreprises (y compris françaises) qui osaient continuer de commercer avec l'Irak ont été sanctionnées et ont payé des amendes aux USA. De tout temps, quel que soit son président, c'est "l'Amérique d'abord".
malheureusement la question était plutot de savoir *quand* ça allait arriver... et cette histoire va faire tache d'huile dorénavant, y'a aucun doute là dessus @zgou
Et après les institutions européennes veulent donner des leçons de souveraineté. C'est tragique mais en même temps j'espère que ça leur servira de leçon, c'est vraiment bien fait pour eux.
@Tfmonkey Note that despite the redistribution rate of wealth via taxation has increased by approximately 300 percent since 1962, people are poorer and still want more welfare. This effectively proves that more welfare equals more poverty. Darwinism needs to be allowed to run its course. Eventually it will be.
Basically employees get taxed, then the government pays their employer to do various jobs which violate the constituition for the government to do but it gets claimed that it is ok because a private sector corporation is doing it under free trade and free market capitalism which is a anti fascist anti communist system instead of evil socialism
Basically the poor employees are taxed to pay the rich CEOs to pay their employees to violate each others rights

Either Palestine… or Fire[hell], Generation After Generation: PFLP
In the face of the renewed Nakba… we resist, we unite, and we move toward return and liberation.
To the masses of our steadfast people in the homeland and diaspora… To the free people of our Arab nation… To the free people of the world everywhere…
On May 15th, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, our open wound that has not healed, and a painful turning point in human history, when zionist gangs, with the full support of colonial powers, committed one of the most horrific crimes of the modern era: the systematic ethnic cleansing of our Palestinian people, their displacement, the destruction of hundreds of cities and villages, and the planting of a racist settler entity on the ruins of our homeland.
The Nakba represented a pivotal moment in the history of our people, a profound revelation of the nature of the zionist project as a racist, colonialist, and uprooting tool aimed at erasing Palestinian national identity and existence, seizing land, and displacing the Palestinian people. Since that moment, the chapters of the Nakba have not ceased, but have continued in renewed forms of killing, massacres, expulsion, discrimination, impoverishment, and siege.
Today, the Nakba is being replayed in a more bloody and barbaric form in the Gaza Strip, where our people are subjected to a genocide war unprecedented in modern history. The occupation machine is carrying out the most heinous forms of killing, destruction, starvation, and displacement. Hospitals, schools, and displacement camps are being bombed amidst a stifling siege, international complicity, international silence, and direct American partnership.
On this painful anniversary, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, while commemorating the steadfastness of our people across the homeland and in exile, from Gaza to the West Bank, from Al-Quds to the 1948 territories, and from the diaspora camps to forced exile, affirms the following:
First: Our conflict with the zionist entity is a comprehensive, historic struggle that will only be resolved by achieving our people’s full national rights, at the heart of which are the right of return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all Palestinian soil with Al-Quds as its capital. The Palestinian cause will remain the core of the Arab-zionist conflict until the roots of the Nakba are eradicated and the occupation ends.
Second: The true response to the Nakba and its repercussions is to build a unified resistance front and formulate a comprehensive national strategy that embraces resistance in all its forms, with armed struggle at its forefront. This strategy reaffirms the PLO as a comprehensive and unified national framework, based on partnership and democracy and in accordance with national consensus decisions. This strategy aims to block the path to monopolization and hegemony, harness the energies of our people wherever they reside, and enable them to express their will to resist the occupation until liberation and return.
Third: In light of these ongoing chapters of crime, the top priority today is to stop the genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip, end their suffering, break the siege, begin reconstruction, and embark on a political path based on the inalienable national rights of our people.
Fourth: We warn against attempts to impose renewed “Nakba” under the guise of expansionist colonialist liquidation projects such as the “Abraham Accords,” a “New Middle East,” and other dubious schemes aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.
Fifth: Confronting attempts to liquidate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is of paramount importance in light of zionist-American plans aimed at erasing the refugee issue and the right of return.Targeting UNRWA in Gaza—through the destruction of its facilities and staff, the closure of its institutions in Al-Quds, and the prevention of its operations in the West Bank is part of a systematic plan to liquidate the refugee issue.
Sixth: We renew our call for complete liberation from the Oslo Accords and its consequences, ending the PA’s obligations resulting from them, halting security coordination and all forms of persecution of the resistance, reversing all dangerous and arbitrary decisions regarding allocations for the families of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and the freed, severing all forms of dependence on American-zionist projects, and moving towards building a unified arena of struggle that expresses the free will of the Palestinian people.
Seventh: The masses of our nation, its intellectuals, and its vital forces must rise up to support our struggle and confront the genocide war against our people. They must reject all forms of normalization with the zionist enemy, and confront the project of neo-colonial hegemony and plans to fragment the region.
Eighth: We salute with reverence the steadfastness of the brotherly Yemeni people, who have faced aggression and blockade for years. Today, they continue—through their courageous positions and popular and official initiatives—to provide support for our cause and affirm our unity of destiny and struggle by imposing new deterrent equations that extend deep into the zionist entity in support of Gaza. We also salute the valiant Lebanese resistance, which has been and continues to be a solid supporter of our people and resistance, a partner in the battle to defend Palestine, and a confirmation of the cohesion of the resistance fronts in the face of the zionist project.
Ninth: We highly appreciate the cries of solidarity that have risen from the streets and universities of Washington, London, Madrid, Brussels, Johannesburg, and all the capitals and cities of the world in support of Gaza, in rejection of the aggression, and in support of our people’s just rights. The rise of international solidarity constitutes an advanced front in the battle to stop the war, break the siege, expose the crimes of the occupation, and hold it accountable at the international level.
🔻The masses of our people… O sons of our Arab nation… O free people of the world…
On the anniversary of the Nakba, we renew our pledge to our people, to the souls of our martyrs, to our prisoners, and to our wounded, that the Popular Front will remain a voice of truth, a shield of resistance, a guardian of national principles, and a staunch defender of the right of return, which is neither forfeited nor negotiable. As the wise George Habash said: “We cannot guarantee the future of our generations while the zionist disease remains on Arab land.”
Greetings to our resistant people in all arenas. Greetings to our male and female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.
Glory and immortality to the martyrs… and we will inevitably be victorious.

Hi @mndblm! Tolle Ernte bekommt ihr! Viel Spaß beim naschen, Konfitüre machen, mit Kuchen backen. Kocht ihr auch ganze Pfirsiche in 1Liter Gläser mit Zuckerwasser für Wintermonate? Das haben wir zu Hause immer gemacht mit unseren Zwetschgen, mit gelben und roten Pflaumen, mit Sauerkirschen, mit Süßkirschen und auch mit Pfirsichen, oder mit Birnen. So wie in Deutschland man im Dosen in Geschäften, die Obstsorten kaufen kann.
Hallo @aga., der Plan ist die Pfirsiche zu essen wenn sie reif sind. Ich hoffe sie werden nach und nach reif. Was über ist wird verteilt! Wenn ich meine Oma noch hätte würde viel eingekocht.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

Until just a few weeks ago, a US attack on Iran seemed almost like a done deal. This isn't exactly out of the ordinary for Republican governments, as they tend to be more aggressive toward Tehran, and the Trump administration is no different in that …
If Gaza was populated by Jews and the people massacring its inhabitants were Muslims, nobody would have any trouble calling this thing what it is. The words “genocide” and “Holocaust” would’ve been appearing in the news every single day for the last 19 months.
Quoting Amy Spitalnick of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs on how the Trump administration’s focus on “combating antisemitism” undermines Jewish safety by fostering fear and selective enforcement:
[…] "The ways in which the administration is exploiting the Jewish community's legitimate fears and concerns about antisemitism is ultimately undermining Jewish safety."
Spitalnick argues that the administration uses #antisemitism as a pretext to justify actions such as deporting pro-Palestinian student protesters and cutting funding to universities, while ignoring or downplaying antisemitic ties within its own ranks, such as key figures such as Paul Ingrassia, Rachel Cauley, and Ed Martin, who have affiliations with antisemitic or extremist ideologies.

Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the taxpayer. An army of federal inspectors, spies…

Many people in Gaza have shared what they believed to be their final message yesterday, as Israel's siege intensified following the decision in parliament to take over the entire Gaza strip, as well as demonstrations surrounding May 15th occurring, the Nakba remembrance day.
Current numbers say that 143 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes in yesterday's attacks alone, with dozens still missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
The Nakba, an ethnic cleansing that launched 1947 by predecessors of the IDF, “only” violently displaced 750.000 people.
The currently ongoing Gaza genocide has already displaced over 1.900.000 people, and killed 53.000 people (lowest estimate), whilst the largest offensive has yet to start.
I wonder how many Palestinians will be murdered for daring to remember the current genocide.
„The only moral thing Palestinian civilians can do apparently is to die. The only legal thing the rest of us can do is to watch them die. And be silent. If not, we risk our scholarships, grants, lecture fees and livelihoods.”
— Arundhati Roy, 15th of December 2023 in The Hindu
> I wonder how many Palestinians will be murdered for daring to remember the current genocide.
That's an important point. Even if the intention was not a full out genocide initially, now so many things "went wrong"[1] that there is a strong incentive not to leave any witnesses.
Which never works, BTW. It's a riddle for me, why the supporters of the current policies in Israel (largely the current government) think this will end well. History suggests to me, it won't.
😢
[1] I, personally, cannot be sure what the plan was at the beginning. So just not to rile up people I'll go with the idea that the current situation was not the goal, but s.th. the Isreali government ended up with through short-sightedness, inept handling of a crisis and populism.
I don’t understand why the people are not fleeing? Why aren’t they crossing over into Egypt? Lebanon? Jordan? We saw Ukrainians pour into other parts of Europe.
I don’t understand why the region isn’t rattling their sabers at Israel? Why isn’t the Egyptian Air Force in the skies?
How did the Germans get away with full-scale #Genocide? How could #Israel get away with committing full-scale #Genocide of all Palestinians? We are all complicit and have a permanent stain on our soul. @MarkJCarney how can we look at ourselves knowing the death of these innocent victims is freely ongoing?
Lage im Gazastreifen: Eine halbe Million Menschen steht vor dem Hungertod. Punkt.
Die Not in Gaza ist riesig. Doch eine angemessene Reaktion fehlt. Es gibt Gründe, warum Deutschland Druck auf Israel ausüben sollte. Und die sind nicht nur moralisch.
If you are using generative "#AI" at work, you'll likely be looked down upon by your colleagues. No surprises in the results of this study.
What is both exhilarating and surprising are the euphemisms the paper uses.
In all experimental setups, participants were expressly told it was all about "generative [sic] AI tools".
The paper concludes, though:
"The experiments reported in this research support our core prediction that individuals expect and receive a social evaluation penalty for receiving assistance from AI."
Funny how they're paraphrasing bullshit generation as "receiving assistance", and keep glorifying #GenAI expressly as "productivity-enhancing tools", yielding "productivity gains". Both praises appear in a myriad of places, throughout the paper.
Ironically, that paper in itself demonstrates why such adulation receives well-deserved contempt.

"[T]he sprawl of government into every conceivable realm of life has caused the withering of traditional institutions. Fathers become unnecessary if the government provides Aid to Families with Dependent Children.
Israel has clearly failed to secure any genuine or lasting victory, and the obvious solution is for Israel to be reined in and held accountable for its crimes in Gaza and throughout Palestine.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty How is it retarded? It would actually be beneficial for some children to be sold. Children who live in poverty can live a better life if their mothers sold them and the mothers will receive compensation for doing so.
But in all seriousness, contrary to popular belief, Murray Rothbard did not advocate for child slavery. He openly said that a child has a right to run away from their parents/guardians if they are abusive or neglectful. The free-market of children is more like privatized adoption.
