Today i witnessed the most disrespectful reception of a foreign leader ever. #Trump and #Vance were bent on belitteling #Zelensky, as if they were some big mafia bosses. An utter disgrace.

@Eetschrijver Het is een oude mannen probleem. Hoe ouder ze worden, hoe angstiger en daarmee conservatiever. Een onvermijdelijk natuurverschijnsel. Dit algemene fenomeen geldt natuurlijk niet voor ieder individu. Jij komt bijvoorbeeld nog altijd fris en fruitig antifascistisch over.

@Radical_EgoCom ... and get yourself locked in the shackles of industry. In that respect socialism doesn't differ much from capitalism.

#Israel committing #genocide in #Gaza, #Amnesty report finds.

Israel forcefully rejected the report’s claims, with a spokesperson dismissing it as “entirely false” and “based on lies,” adding that Amnesty is a “deplorable and fanatical organization.”

Sure, ICC, Amnesty and other human rights organizations are all deplorable and fanatical organizations specifically founded in order to defame Israel. Do you believe it yourself, Israel?

@jwildeboer That funny guy from the land of cheese and wooden shoes? No, that doesn't make a lasting impression.

Remember Google Glass? It didn't even hit the market, because the inconspicuous filming feature would turn its users into pariah's. Now your neighbour's #Tesla is continuously #filming you and your family. Yet you failed to condemn him. Is it ignorance or or deliberate disinterest?

@Radical_EgoCom To me describing agnostic as "not sure", suggests that one is in doubt. That is not exactly it. It is more like not thinking about it at all. When you can't prove or disprove something someone comes up with, then it is not in your realm. An opinion either way would lead to falsehoods.

The perfect picture of #ClimateChange denial.

@Gargron Thus you decided to develop analog social media? :-)

@evan Never. It is designed to let Google spy on you even more.

@Gargron @JeanMarcvanTol I love so much the moderators of flesh and blood at Mastodon. Kudos Eugen!

@Gargron But it is always kind to think about the "original" culture and maybe see benefits and act in accordance. Not mandatory of course.
