A long time ago when the whole "should we cctv everything" idea was new and controversial I recall an interview or something with a london police chief, at the time the most cctved city. He admitted that cctv didnt help them stop crime or catch more criminals. He still wanted more cctv though. I think about that every now and then when there is another 'our surveillance tech actually does not work but we want more of it' story
Well here thankfully the fight is over (today it was, tomorrow it will be something else, no wait our fasc doesn't work the weekends, monday it will be) the crisis of not having enough prison cells, which they wanted to fix by letting people with sentences of less than a year out 2 weeks earlier. Which caused a rift between the party 'member'() who wanted to do it and the fuhrer Wilders (whos negative reaction on this was published via twitter of course).
: Technically Wilders party has only one member, Wilders.
Damn you! Still a monitor from 2008, it had a good run.

Thankfully im not American. Checks Dutch news ow fuck our fasc is also infighting
Rest of my electronics have survived so very likely. Guess it got confused as I'm also looking for new glasses and went "dont pick one of those*
Not really my point, but a good one. They dont even have that many kids to spank.
Fun fact, I looked at that article. And my monitor exploded. No joke. I was in sudden darkness, and the mains were turned off. Pc survived thankfully, and I have a secondary monitor but lol wtf. (I need to go to bed).
Is this the family who has a lot of kids and who 'do not believe in the research on corporal punishment' (wonder what that means)? (Rhetorical)
e: lol on them blaming tinder. (Lets make it dumber, the moment that tinder was introduced still falls in within the normal (eyeballed) variance. The moment it breaks is ... gamergate. Gamergate ended the world people).
Yeah very much whoever wins we lose. We should just build a large trebuchet and fire them all into the sun. But sadly the gov does nothing.
Yeah good point on the blockchain tech split vs actual cryptocurrencies. Esp considering the stories some of the exchanges basically did away with the blockchain for internal trades.
According to some roblox wiki also the richest person (in roblox). So wonder if it is libertarian goes monarchist.
Reading this post must be what having a stroke feels like. I would have trouble believing that if this wasn't just how half these kinds of science fiction universes are.
Sorry, misread your tone.
Before 2020 or so he only had kids with one woman, so this whole massive amounts of kids spreading thing still matches with my theory of his radicalization being late.
So the far right people are already infighting each other with disinformation. Now they are accusing others of being part of the USAID thing. See this tweet by I,hypocrite (lporiginalg) (Note the guy is a bad guy (an anti-Semite for example), so this is fasc on fasc action).
"So let me get this straight...
Vaush
Aella
Richard Hanania
James Lindsay
Were all funded by USAID? WHO ELSE?
<community note pointing out this isn't true>"
They are coming for you Aella, hope you have an exit strategy (Just saying: Publicly burning bridges, and dropping the chatlogs of others would create a lot of goodwill on the anti-fascist side, and would be a good first step in rebuilding trust with some people (even if for a lot this cannot be regained)).
Perhaps using a lot of lying shitheads to get political clout is a bad idea, as even when you are in power, they will not stop lying (and being shitheads).
The rise of ransomware and cryptocurrencies sadly are linked.
Sorry I think that Musk is a neo-nazi now, but he wasn't a couple of years ago (he was an allround asshole and racist yes, but this whole white birthrates neo-nazi shit is quite new (as in the past ~5-10 years)). I believe this for a few reasons, a) because we saw him get radicalized on twitter, via the various tech radicalization patterns. This is also important because more people around us are being radicalized the same way, and we need to find a way to stop this. and b) I don't think he was smart enough to hide his nazism. Him always been a crypto-neo-nazi means he would have been able to hide this for everybody for decades before he came out recently. And I just don't think he is that cunning or smart, he bought Twitter by accident after all.
So yes, he is one, but he wasn't always, and that is important imho. (And small sidenote, I have met people who were named using nazi references from their parents, and they themselves were not nazis (but a bit traumatized by their parents being them), lot of shitty nazis in Europe still. I recall one really traumatized Austrian who while drunk was making himself angry and violent over his shitty parents, poor guy). So yeah I don't believe in a nazi gene in a way.
And don't take this as a defense of the guy, in a way my opinion of him is worse than if he was a crypto-nazi all along. I think he got radicalized via twitter. Like how old people got radicalized into qanon, he is a follower not a thought leader. I just dont think this guy is a smart guy.
Wait what. I always assumed it was some quirky side char.
Not proof of anything, esp considering the vapid tech vibes the other half of this relationship has. They could just have noticed the word hop around. (Sorry, Musk not being that smart and deep is my hill. I also don't believe he is Dittman (Dittman posts/livestreams too much, actually posts jokes that show he understands the culture (Musk doesn't grok basic meme templates), can play Path of Exile 2, and this account predates the lawsuit in which Musk revealed he cosplays as his son on twitter but horny). So I want a bit more than just one reference to prove he is a massive fan and not just references it for nerd points like a sociopath (He also calls his son Tau, which is Heresy in 40k, and a weird mismatch of references). And well both he and Grimes have roleplayed as communists/socialists. So naming a kid for attention is not something I would consider below them).
E: also Tau is their third child, and I really hope the second child (iirc the public doesn't know her name (yes her being a girl, Musks second daughter, makes this all even weirder)) nicknamed Y is doing well. (Now If I thought Musk was deep and complex, I would worry about the missing 8 children after he names the last one Tau, but you can wonder if he even knows Greek).
