  • ITT: omg how other people don’t see what I, a very smart and superior person who browses technology communities, have known for years

    Genuinely, who doesn’t know/suspect this, do you know anyone? I don’t think it’s about superiority at all.

    I don’t know literally anyone who doesn’t know or atleast expect this, even normies have the concepts of NSA/Big Brother spying on everything.

    Literally even my tech illiterate parents know/suspect that you aren’t private anywhere.

    Edit: and if you do know anyone who is ignorant to this…will they find this article/report and read it?








  • Why does it really matter that issues can be “discussed” if the issue being discussed is as atrocious as what Israel is doing to Palestine.

    Israel and the US know that what they’re doing is wrong. Them and their crony countries aren’t going to change course because of this.

    It doesn’t exactly prevent WW2 if they tell Hitler to stop and he doesn’t listen…unless of course they choose to let him continue his goals unimpeded rather than go to war, citing their documented disagreement as sufficient counter action…






  • I think this quote from Harris in the debate sums up the American support for the genocide. You can’t except the former colonial genocidal regime to oppose the new one they propped up.

    And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would.

    Edit: it seems most people think I ment this was a good thing? No, America isn’t inherently good.

    This statement shows how America supports the genocide because America would be willing to do similar slaughter if an attack happened to us (look at our post 9/11 actions for an example of the destruction we are willing to cause). It also shows how she not only recognizes but supports this view.


  • The alternative is to let certain countries de facto claim a region because others are too afraid to call them on their BS

    Who is de facto claiming land? Taiwan has always been a part of China. KMT fled there after losing the civil war and claimed their occupation was rightful rule.

    January 1, 1979.

    The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.

    The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.

    We do not undertake this important step for transient tactical or expedient reasons. In recognizing the People’s Republic of China, that it is the single Government of China, we are recognizing simple reality. But far more is involved in this decision than just the recognition of a fact.

    The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.

  • The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

    What diversion? Russia hasn’t had to slow down it’s advances in other regions at all, in fact in some cases Russia has made faster gains, because Ukraine diverted its own best troops…

    On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. However it’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed,

    It’s only a morale boost to westerners observing the news as if it’s a game. It doesn’t help the real world situation for Ukraine or Ukrainians. That’s what this was for, to signal boost to the west.

    The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.

    No, it’s an example of said poor military coordination present in the Ukrainian command structure…
