fascist nest but the libs will try as hard as they can to make it seem like they’re not at all related to fascism all while equalizing socalist state leaders to their own neocolonial, liberal leaders in an attempt to absolve themselves of their own depravity.
The Post-Balkanization Effect
Once a fed, always a fed…
Well said.
Countries that gravitated towards the Western tech ecosystem (whether willingly or otherwise) always get enveloped with seemingly no way out… the only way out is if they stopped rubbing shoulders with fucking Western digital landlords and move towards coming up with state-owned solutions…
but nah screw all that let’s just make WhatsApp and Instagram de facto mandatory to conduct most forms of business in West Asia and LATAM
On discussions around here about recommendations to alternative social media platforms and other digital services, there seems to be a growing presence of believers of European platforms, the platforms are vouched for not on the merit that the alternatives to US services themselves are good, functional and are independent of any state/private sector interests, but simply because the platforms are European, which is framed as “secure” and “sanitized” from any of that potential “bad stuff” we’ve witnessed (AI slop, helping the state to suppress activism, on one hand allowing freeze peach, which really just emboldens neonazis, on the other censors anything going against the interests of the West, etc).

I’m having difficulty to articulate this but… why move from one doghouse to another if all you cared about was the color of the roof?
Yeah, I only learned about it recently too… It’s pretty ironic considering that the whole “No taxation without representation” colonial shtick continues to be worshiped by the bootlickers of the empire.

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident living or traveling outside the United States, you generally are required to file income tax returns, estate tax returns, and gift tax returns and pay estimated tax in the same way as those residing in the United States.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. You are subject to tax on worldwide income from all sources and must report all taxable income and pay taxes according to the Internal Revenue Code.
The question is asked probably because there’s no real way of avoiding the empire’s grip if you’re born into it, even if you naturalize as a citizen of another country.
the two types of people in this world (if you’re not a lib), literally the embodiment of the Mario says/Luigi says meme:
Congrats on confirming that you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
That’s true, starting from this year. I couldn’t find more information about this through primary sources of how tedious it is compared to your average long-and-arduous visa procedures that Global South countries are subjected to, but it appears to be a relatively quick non-process: https://www.axa-schengen.com/en/visa/visit-schengen/usa#1
The reason for his deportation wasn’t because “he didn’t have a visa” like the original comment purported as one of the points, or a lack of a visa-waiver for that matter. It was clear-cut “he’s too brown for our liking” but with glitter all over.
If that’s the conclusion you’ve arrived at after reading nazi-friendly content, then you’re probably a nazi too.
Ali Abunimah was born and raised in the U.S., so we can safely assume he possesses the U.S. citizenship and passport. What does Switzerland’s official immigration website have to say about U.S. citizens? Oh yeah, that’s right, you get full-on red carpet drawn for you:
And if the state designates an organization as a terrorist group, then that’s that right? We can just throw away our critical thinking (assuming we had any in the first place) and let the state known for rubbing elbows with nazis do the thinking for us, right? Piss off with that racist bullshit.
I’ve re-read this several times and I still don’t have the slightest clue to what you’re referring to, lib. It’s clear-as-day that you’re just another “They hate us for our freedom” folks and don’t actually care about freedom or privacy for all.
What “healthy European” freedom looks like:
What “healthy European” privacy looks like:
so in other words: the developer claims the tool is for those whose entire job is to engage in targeted harassment, but anyone can sign up and use it for targeted harassment.
Very cool, very impressive stuff. Definitely won’t be used against already censored, suppressed minority groups.
