I read he is blocking the National Assembly building to avoid the martial law being lifted; both parties, including his, will vote to lift it should they get inside
He is right about the Palestinian humanitarian orgs, been doing that for a year. I don’t know about the military, unless he means Biden is probably not doing all he can to prevent them from being misused domestically. Don’t know anything there
I see what you did wrong there, you assume we have a working, strong, beautiful , lively and critical, independent ( one of these adjectives) media whose owners have a moral compulsion to help.
Where in fact all we got going for truth is a handful of perpetually near broke, small and weak outlets who are run on coffee fumes and dreams, not necessarily in that order
I’m very sure the majority of USA news corps are going to say something about terrorists striking the poor, peace loving Israelis. They don’t have to lie.
Leave out context and details and secondary sources , blogs and social media will use that for their own reasons
If Trump really does remove large parts of government and raises the tariffs that way, things are going to get interesting in the Houston area. A
I’m wondering if the people behind him really do want to do all this or if he is full of hot air. I doubt, for all his bluster he that independent. If they want to do this, then it must be a deliberate decision to paralyze the country for some reason. Why, I have no clue.
I guess we find out in January and February what so many of our futures will be
Yes, I am beginning to understand the takeover of media was more insidious. I knew about the market forces but I did not realize much how the different monopolies worked together, both in practice and accidentally, to squish the survivors, who were struggling but could have recovered.
I’m a little out of the loop, but I think the main barriers to peace here are the meddling of the foreign powers, all of them have their own agenda which is often in conflict themselves even if some are allies elsewhere.
I think it would have been negotiated out of pure exhaustion years ago otherwise
With that many people and organizations and groups and hopes and dreams and atrocities, monsters and good deeds: it’s just not swept under the rug later.
It’s my understanding that this is much more complex than most media report. And, as an outsider who spent some time reading about this the last ten years, I came to the conclusion that all 50 ( lost count) sides and groups have good and bad mixed into them.
And the smaller press were bought out or folded, because apparently people don’t read their news on paper anymore, which is sad.
That’s ok though because people can directly tweet live happenings… oh wait
So anyway, the large social medias are crippled one way or another; and there are few paid journalists outside the influence of the top 10 news corps in the USA
It’s a bad time to have an information blackout, or one controlled by a very few
I don’t know anything about cryptology; I have an imagination about how many things can go wrong hooking up parts and running them.
If it’s the law to make an age verification system then it will be made.
But I think one either has an age verification or privacy, but not both, in any country in the world.
I’m totally sure many of the discussions here about crypto are way above my head. But I’m equally sure while any one part will look fine in paper, the sum total will be used by an expanding government agency, crime, or both.
Doesn’t this assume the issuing agency has all employees who are morally sound and not leaking data, unnoticed by an internally badly designed system, which is designed by people who are out of touch? Most things like this are designed that way, irregardless of country .
I’m sure one can make it watertight but it’s so hard and still depends in trusting people. The conversation here is about one thing of a larger system. There are probably a hundred moving parts in any bureaucracy.
Listening to my small town chatter, where there are many mega enthusiasts, I can promise there there is no love for Musk. I think this guy is out of touch or my community is special.
And that strikes a nerve about how my area was double abandoned by the Democratic Party. Not only are they unwilling to talk about cheating by Republicans in elections here, but the party does understand or wish to understand the people.
Is it any wonder many here are seduced by lies? They are not dumb, just desperate.
