It’s based on false ideas about economy from the middle ages.
For us living in the 21st century, government borrowing to finance the deficit is a sustainable system because of central banks and private banks are constantly creating money.
We have been conditioned from birth to treat our own emotionality as reason, and our obsession with women’s bodies as nonemotional.
I look at tech bros on their podcasts and see nothing but emotional content. Critics with perfectly reasonable arguments are silenced based on vibes alone.
Snowflakes all the way down. Pumping steroids and playing the victim game, only good vibes allowed.
Putin is betting on #crypto, #compute and #energy to dominate the world in 100 years. They’re investing in chinese GPU’s & miners. Siberia has great cooling and endless gas. The crypto liberatarians are not your friend. The Russian Empire is theirs though. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Bh5O-cRGmJM
Messages from Syrians to Ukrainians: "The russians destroyed this Country, killed its people, violated all taboos and killed the innocents. All the prisons were built by russians. Ukrainians are like us" "Be patient, stay strong and work in team, Inshallah"
During the cold war, the West thought it was fighting communism.
But in reality, it was just fighting good ’ol Muscovy and it’s genius ability to take any idea, lying through it’s teeth lies so grand they seem real & use them to consolidate all the power.
You see it. What’s happening now is all the same. The same Muscovian empire, now clad in some kind of weird Christian libertarian right to bomb.
@GreenFire And.. Russia’s Africa corps & Syrian opetations have been stoking the wars that created the refugees that helped the far right grab power in central Europe in the first place..
And AfD, Musk & Vance just seem to LOVE Russia..
If it’s any more obvious that there’s a feedback loop at work in here, it’s kind of hard to point it out more clearly.
Russia weaponised refugee creation, because it had been fighting a war against the west for more than a decade now.
PSA for independent artists and musicians from Benn Jordan.
DO NOT OPT-IN into offers for ”protecting your music from AI scrapers” from #tunecore or #distrokid (probably others)
Signing into these program actually gives them the rights to your music, and the rights to sell it to third parties for - you guessed it - #training#AI.
It’s 2024, it’s the Great Data Heist. And AI tech bros need their daily #scam to feed their theft machine stock. Consider all parties suspect https://youtube.com/watch?v=KXnEvIxYiXQ
1. Begin a ceasefire on Jan 20th as a present to Donald Trump 2. Present a peace deal that strips Ukraine of any chance of remaining politically independent, while appearing ”generous” 3. Bring in a publicity campaing to convince MAGA these are just ”insignificant details” 4. Bring in an even larger media campaign blaming Ukraine for not accepting a deal that would cement it’s fate as never being anything else than another Belarus forever
All this ”Oreshnik” posturing, meat wave tactics, running it’s economy to the ground, are posturing.
They are tactics to influence the outcome of the peace deal. Russia needs to look aggressive, no matter what. No matter if a million of it’s people die in the process.
Russia is on the edge of falling, but it will still maintains a scary posture, until the very last moment.
Because securing Ukraine to it’s influence would soften it’s fall.
If you are a European who doesn’t like #immigration, then you need to be against Russia.
#russia is the one who has been and is causing coups and unstabilities in Syria & sub-Saharan Africa, where most of the #refugees and immigrants to Europe are coming from.
This is what happens when ”free speech absolutists” build platforms. There are no defences, what so ever. Everything is lies. Far-right, pro-Russia get elected, democracy dies.
Coming to your country’s election next.
#nafo is here to help, but Russia has tens of billions of dollars in the game.. 🙄
