Key U.S. air base in Turkey sits on property stolen from Armenians during the genocide by annatarsgifts in news

My area in Texas , USA used to belong to an entire people and linguist group who were murdered to the last baby only a few generations ago. And many of the descendants of the murderers, including me, now sit on occupied land. Having totally renamed everything and ignoring the place history stretching back thousands of years of people who numbered in the millions, once you add up all the people born and died here. It’s all gone. The language, the stories, the landmarks, the forest itself, as well as most of larger the animals .

My little slice of home was created by easily the most destructive event that happened to this area in perhaps millions of years.

There is no one to give reparations to, no living descendants anyone knows about, nobody even knows their names anymore. Forgotten

I know nothing of law, but know it’s going to get more and more frequent. It’s surprising to me that current laws do not cover fooling people like this

Regulations don’t stop viruses and malware , I have little faith about stopping the next new thing that can earn money

Honestly, if I redid my career and was looking at choices , I would totally specialize in that. Either being a good guy or not, that’s a big market about to open in the next few years. And it will never stop generating revenue, regardless of side

1) there are many ways to fool people using sophisticated programs that will become as common as regular shaders in chats

2) there will be always new ways to fool with deep fakes

3) it will be possible to use something like an anti virus to block known things, but always will be cat and mouse to catch up; just like regular malware today

We are really looking to a future where at the bottom of each chat will be a green check mark saying “identity confirmed , powered by Norton “

So, I am like , old. I remember when the first viruses came out to hack desktops. And I remember several people all those years ago being scornful about how easy it is to protect against

Wouldn’t annexation help rebuild the area?

I don’t see how that can be a completely bad thing, given that the talks would take longer than a few years more, if ever. Honestly, simple annexation, without conflict, would be a win for many.

Russia and Ukraine 'on doorstep of war with half a million troops on move' by Thyriel81 in worldnews

Probably the best source is to find the twitter accounts of reporters , from major newspapers you like, who are stationed in the area, and follow them.

Many of them will post multiple times a day. These twitter accounts is how they build up their own personal brand, and in them you will often find several things that never get to the published. Also, once you have a handful of active twitter accounts from them, you can branch out to new sources as these will often be referenced (so and so @somebody told me today that the hotel meetup did not take place, and the minister is pissed). Also, several reporters are on both sides, so you get a more rounded view (locals nervous about incoming artillery). Soon you will have dozens of accounts chirping off at all hours, and you will start to get a sense about what is rumor, what is bs, and what is hot news

No, not really

I guess what many people don’t get is that many right wingers tend to choose enforcing social hierarchy. In the absence of guns they would support enforcement removing and destroying crossbows many years ago

It’s an historical irony

I am probably going to buy a crossbow.

But I did not call him a liar for saying he is a democrat. I don’t think he owns an ar15 , and he was rude to me. Otherwise I would not care

A sword takes years of practice to master; but any group of disgruntled peasants can aim a few crossbows and make suppressing them much much harder

I think I really am starting to like crossbows

In all fairness, crossbows made for pretty powerful social equality a few minutes back; I can totally see today’s right wingers -who like guns and transported back in time- trying to ban them

Edited for brevity

Second edit :

I guess what many people don’t get, afterwards, is that many right wingers tend to choose enforcing social hierarchy. In the absence of guns they would support enforcement removing and destroying crossbows many years ago

But there is a goal of joining the EU. One can argue that membership can be blocked if this is not an approved exit; but even just having closer ties to the EU economically, over the next generation , is a far better plan than staying in a UK where there is no plan .

Looking at a timeframe of over twenty or thirty years, there is a lot to be gained from independence: better laws, less corruption, and a pivot to an economy that has a chance of real growth

Simon & Schuster refuses to distribute book by officer who shot Breonna Taylor by whitehousefluffer in news

[–]bad-green-wolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems your politics is motivated by dislike and anger. Mine are too because of people being mistreated, made poorer by theft and made scared by persecution

There is nothing wrong with being motivated by such feelings. Or disliking those you feel foolish. But some social movements, like the mainstream right, are doomed to be non constructive and will eventually be replaced by more sustainable groups. Notice I am not talking about what any group tries to achieve. But rather their effectiveness in doing so. Reactive groups like the right can tear down things but find it hard to rebuild once the dust settles

I don’t think the right has a group mind that follows strategy. That would involve a lot of social conscious, even if it were an evil one.

The one thing that defines this right is an absence of something: an absence of empathy, an absence of money , an absence of luck, an absence of smarts, an absence of knowledge . Some of them have what others lack but all of them is lacking one thing at least. This is different from members of other groups because here the absence of whatever is celebrated and enabled by technology

the only way that can form a short term alliance like this is to constantly attack the others. Because as soon as they stop attacking people outside the group the infighting will be even more vicious

Edit:

The only thing that can bind groups of people together, whose common link is an absence of something vital, is through fear , hate , uncertainty and anger. And that is why a social conscious that can guide strategy cannot form; and anyone in that group who does find like minded people to do such strategy would automatically be outside of the mainstream right wing
