If you have to use a government ID to access the internet I don't think there'll be a way to subvert it. The tech fixes like face recognition and age inference can probably be spoofed, but IDs seem rock solid unless you steal someone else's ID.
These could include government IDs, face or voice recognition, or so-called "age inference", which analyses online behaviour and interactions to estimate a person's age.
Surely this won't be used by the government to monitor internet usage!
I've found some success in turning the focus back on the West. The NATO bloc has put Ukraine in $100 billion in debt, has made all of its aid conditional on the exploitation of its energy and mineral and agricultural resources, and is intent on fighting to the last Ukrainian. It makes Western imperialism in Ukraine pretty obvious, even if I don't touch on Maidan being a coup that installed a neonazi banderite regime run by Western collaborators (because they'll dismiss that as Russian propaganda).
My angle has always been that the West never wanted Ukraine to even win, they just wanted it to be a millstone around Russia.
Defending Russia's actions seems impossible. As we see here, to the liberal mind, whoever swings first is the bad guy. That's it.
I've actually heard liberals say defining imperialism as economic is specifically a Leninist definition of imperialism, just so they don't have to engage with it. Lenin was just trying to confuse us! Everyone knows the USSR was an empire. 🤡
We can't understand any of that if we use the liberal, vibes based definition of imperialism. As far as they're concerned you're just doing mental gymnastics, imperialism is just when countries do empire stuff like annexations and invasions.
If the US responded to the "requests" of separatists for support, and then those separatists voted to join the US, the imperialism would be pretty obvious. How do you explain to liberals that there is a difference?
It's dialectical. Atheism and theism are contradictions, each contains its opposite, so in order for someone to be an atheist they have to define their beliefs in contradiction to theism.
At this scale those debts are a chain around their necks that can be used to control them.
As for the aid package, it merely covers half of the debt. On top of that? It's conditional! Ukraine has to meet certain requirements to receive that aid: energy, border management, agricultural demining, and the development of a list of "strategic and essential" raw materials. Aside from demining that doesn't sound like defending freedom, that sounds like they are trapping a client state into dependency so they can be exploited for primary production.
This has never been about freedom, I don't know how anyone could ever believe it was.
I have mine set on a timer, fill it up with water before I go to bed, and when I wake up I can immediately make a hot broth breakfast. It's reduced my morning routine by 8 whole minutes! Life will never be the same.
