You're here to propagandize, your opinion is worthless.

I’m supposed to abhor this war and condemn it everywhere, but why can’t I bring myself to do so?

Over time, I’ve come to understand something that once puzzled me when I heard about Cuban exiles decades ago: sometimes the desire for change becomes so overwhelming that even terrifying possibilities begin to feel like the only remaining path forward.

This is absolutely a pro-war article with a few throwaway sentences suggesting that war is horrible so it doesn't look totally out to lunch, but coming to the conclusion that it will be worth it in the end. Well I witnessed the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and let me tell you, it is not going to be worth it in the end. I don't care how many Iranian diaspora you dig up to tell me that it will be. It is moronic to believe the US' aim here is anything benevolent.

Frankly, it's pretty disappointing for the CBC to be printing this attempt at opinion shaping.

Seems like this guy is the real deal. Happy for you, New York.

He's living in Canada so I suspect he doesn't fear the violence of war as much as Iranians living in Iran. Easy to say the bombing is worth it when there is a zero percent chance you yourself will get bombed.

It's wild that people dig up these members of the diaspora community they can use as a pro-war token. To me it just looks like you found the biggest Iranian psycho you could manage.

You post garbage from "news" outlets like The Bureau.

The UN is a diplomatic structure that exists to give state's representatives a place to gather and talk. It's not a world government. If it had been created with the intention of being one, no one would have signed on.

“Oh I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”

Yes, that's the lesson of the Holocaust. If in your mind the lesson of the Holocaust is that Israel gets one free genocide, you are fucking psychotic.

Older article but worth a read in light of current events, I think.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It's worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the 'information' that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.

Oh no! Businesses whose 'innovation' is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.

It feels like a threshold has been crossed. Reddit related content is there but not so dominating as before. People are memeing other things, news and politics discussion is popping up, particularly popular posts from more niche communities as well, it feels like a much more healthy mix of content now compared to the beginning of July and especially compared to when I joined during the reddit blackout.
