  • I don't see anything really wrong with that primer, but more to the point, I can't tell you how good it really is because you don't judge the quality of primer with your eyes - you judge it with your hands.

    Try it. You'll get it.

  • Broadly, I think that this has been Israel's goal since the start, and that it was apparent when they bombed the al-Ahli hospital (and denied responsibility, only later to recant).

    From the start, they intended to kill as many Palestinians as possible - hundreds of thousands if not millions - and since they predicted that not even their legions of morally bankrupt international defenders could protect them from condrmnation if they did it through mass executions, they instead systematically snd deliberately set sbout destroying infrastructure and hospitals, stopping aid by driving out existing aid distribution organizations and taking over and closing all border crossings, and herding the population into the smallest possible space so that starvation and disease would do the bulk of the killing for them.

    They are, right now, doing exactly what they planned on doing from the start, and toward the goal toward which they've been deliberately working from the start - the complete destruction of the Palestinian people and the full annexation of Gaza.

    And in fact, I have zero doubt that that's why they've recently walked away from negotiations - because Hamas, entirely justifiably, will not back down from their demand that any deal must include Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, and they have, and have had since day one, no intention of ever withdrawing.

  • It has everything to do with reposting - as I already said, this is transparently an attempt to divert attention from the tremendous harm that corporations do by trying to make an issue of some relatively innocuous thing that individuals do. It's been a standard tactic for years now in the climate change debate.

    And somehow I suspect you know that. Firsthand.

  • This is just standard climate change astroturfing - trying to divert attention from the grotesquely destructive actions of corporations (in this case, AI companies) by pointing to some relatively inconsequential thing that can be blamed on individuals.

  • Oh...... yeah. Okay. I get it.

    Russia is afraid of losing their paper-thin excuse for invading a sovereign nation, so they're already trying to astroturf the idea that any coming change in the government is just a sham.

    Pretty good move really, though I guess that's to be expected from one of the worlds most dedicated, professional and experienced propaganda machines.

  • And yet again, we'll see if anyone with the wealth or authority to oppose this will even lift a finger.

    And yet again, I'm predicting no, they won't.

    Cowards and co-conspirators one and all.

    And it's not like it matters anyway - even if someone did try to stand against them, the Trump regime would just keep appealing any decision against them until it got to the Supreme Court, and then those criminally corrupt and traitorous pieces of shit would give them what they wanted.

  • I think it's safe to presume that Hamas wasn't willing to budge from its demand that Israel withdraw from Gaza, and since annexing Gaza is more important to the Israeli government than recovering the hostages, Israel is walking away instead.

  • Yes, but generally not really harshly. I just assume they don't know any better or don't have the determination to live up to their ideals.

    Unless of course they genuinely are awful people, but in that event, there are signs far more relevant than merely not sharing my boycotts.

  • This is why Israel has systematically destroyed hospitals and blocked aid - this was their goal from the start.

    They intend to kill millions, and that was always their intent. But they know that even their legions of grotesquely corrupt and morally bankrupt defenders worldwide wouldn't be enough to protect them from the wholly justified backlash if they did it through mass executions, so they've very deliberstely arranged things so that starvation and disease will do it for them.

    We are witnessing, and western governments are at least tolerating and all too often openly supporting, pure, unadulterated evil.

  • Yeaaaahhhh... no. I don't think "stability" is really an accurate descriptor of what the Fed has done.

    Their "stability" consists of following policies explicitly and deliberately designed to generate an ongoing transfer of wealth up the economic ladder, and using slanted and incomplete indicators like GDP to create the illusion that their policies are of benefit to the country as a whole.

    I mean... yes, it is "stability" of a form- it's akin to the stability necessary to build a house of cards.

    But that stability is revealed to be a fleeting and ultimately ephemeral thing when the house of cards comes crashing down, as this one most assuredly will.

    That said though, I do agree that this is theater.
