This is called ‘stochastic terrorism’. Publicly painting people in the most outrageous light until some of your acolytes feel called upon to realize the supposedly non-commital threats you made.
Fuck Trump. Fight the fascists.
Small addendum: As fascists often seek to indoctrinate the population into longing for a natural order only they (the fascists) can provide, a minority of relatively niche needs is the ideal target to demonstrate this supposed ‘nature’ in order to obtain the perceived moral right to structure society as they see fit. That science and society do not actually reflect this ‘nature’ is irrelevant. The enemy has been created.
I am actually quite relieved about it, as it demonstrates that germany is not just appeasing israel by the bon mot of "never again". It is actually taken seriously. Despite a bunch of eastern germans voting for neo-nazis because they are undereducated, economically disadvantaged and clearly living in an information bubble.
We are fighting literal fascists. Do you really think blaming the non-fascists will prevent these dishonest actors from doing their worst to ruin your life? It is by far the stupidest and most unhelpful position to blame the failings of the democratic position for the rise of the autocrats, when the latter are actively working to get into power.
So you like giving some random company access to your OS kernel?
You don’t need that for anticheat software and the security risks involved in this day and age practically forbids it.
So you never heard of the og FFXIV debacle?
This is yet another predatory cheap asiagrinder with an invasive kernel level ‘anticheat’. Stuff like this should not be promoted. At all.
He is a traitor by definition.
Precisely this. Once this trust has been lost and the 'G6' face a world where they cannot count on the US, geopolicies will change and the US will not be perceived trustworthy anytime soon. As it stands, it will be considered yet another global power with anti-democratic tendencies, policies that endanger world piece and disrupt the common pursuit for prosperity and is considered best kept in check.
This seems to be just a small footnote in the absurdity of modern day america, but it shows the self-indulgent ignorance of some americans in regards to what kind of country they are actually establishing. A ‘Dr. Phil’, barely relevant, becomes reporter on the pointless but exceedingly disruptive and cruel deportation policy for the one thing he really cares about: attention. Because attention is currency for a media personality and he cares for his currencies. Not for his society or country.
THIS is the reality of the USA. Everybody feels entitled to pursue their riches without regard to their neighbour.
Always keep in mind how the russian disinformation tries to paint Zelenskyy as a corrupt clown, installed to fleece the country in the name of the west.
If clowning around and fleecing the country means having this much endurance to steer the country through an invasion by a bigger and better equipped adversary, then I cannot imagine what an actually determined Zelenskyy would look like.
Fuck the russian disinformation and fuck Trump.
I get what Ezra is saying but I am still not keen on calling anybody an ‘NPC’. Not even people on the side of what is clearly an autocratic coup. Because even if I despise these people, they are still people. Very much responsible for their own actions.
‘Tariffs’.
While that is a distinct possibility, SQUENIX is also not know for good code.
It’s even more important as during such a coup, the law gets instrumentalized as a tool of oppression. Owning the rule of law to defend democratic intent is necessary to prevent such instrumentalization as much as possible.
He can go fuck his couch. How dare this opportunistic cretin to critizise europe for being very much aware of social engineering threats while he himself was profiteering of the hard to doubt interference of oligarchs and agent provocateurs to manufacture consent.
Can we root for one that just nukes the US?
Do we know if the worm is actually dead? Insiders insinuate it’s the worm actually calling the shots…
Steel and Coal Union
Foster understanding through trade and industry
I would argue that the reason was to foster understanding and cooperation by dismantling national barriers for trade and industry between the early participating members but the outcome is of course the same.
