Not in the article, but it's not really a secret

Bill Ackman (billionare democratic donor) has offered essentially unlimited funding for anyone to run against him as a write in candidate

Just a helpful reminder that class relations are real, and that most legacy news outlets have a shared class-interest in de-emphasizing class and income as important electoral issues.

There's a really good reason why democrats will seemingly do just about anything to avoid platforming socialist policies - and it isn't because they aren't popular. They see them as an existential threat to their party, because not only would they lose their primary funding sources if they were to stop protecting donors from wealth re-distributive policies, but they'd also lose their network of private sector allies that enable them to govern at all.

Once you understand the scope of the problem, it's really hard to see the two party system as anything other than good-cop bad-cop neoliberal theater.

How do you know?

How? Even just a passive viewing of that debate shows how little he understands the citations he's using. He couldn't defend any of his sources beyond reading select quotes that just happen to be available on wikipedia - any time Finkelstein engaged the substance of whatever it was he was resting his case on Mr Bonnelli couldn't hang.

This is why this kind of exchange is pointless - Finkelstein is an actual scholar on the issue and can engage with substance far deeper than most average BA's could, let alone a college drop-out slop-tuber. The distance between them in terms of subject matter knowledge is just too great - they might as well be speaking different languages.

One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws

Why should it be necessary to specify Israelis as deserving of equal rights in historic Palestine when it is Israel who denies equal rights to Palestinians and not the other way around?

Go ahead and ban me now if that kind of acknowledgment can get you in legal trouble - I have no interest in participating in a community that is comfortable suppressing criticisms against an ethno-religious apartheid state committing genocide. Fuck Israel and fuck the German collaborators.

Free Palestine.

I find in endlessly funny that we've been screaming at the democrats to leverage Israel more to end hostilities in the ME without any real movement from them, but suddenly Trump is willing to say 'fuck it' just because the right people happen to be bribing him.

If the right people keep trump's palms greased for long enough we might actually end up on the right side of history by accident, and if that's not comedy I don't know what is.

He explicitly supports Palestinian resistance

"Can't see my kids anymore, so I became a nazi" is a perfect 10-word story about radicalization

Seems relatively painless to chop those two instances off - chinese.lol has less than 200 users, and I can't even find instance info for doesnotexist.club (coincidence? i think NOT).

I do personally wonder how difficult it is to spin up new instances though. How much effort would it be for them to create a new one and do it again?

I'm actually most concerned with the IP leaking of the fediverse chick posts - hopefully some progress has been made with the IP leaking in auto-loaded external media through DM's

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but unless you work as a security engineer or in another security-focused tech field, you really shouldn't be exposing your homelab to the open internet anyway

Most people access their homelabs via VPN - i don't see anything here that's a problem for that use-case.

I'm really confused as to why 'Russians' are generalized as the last domino here

Like, could have easily been 'Putin', but even then are we content with stopping at removing despots? Let's at least aim a bit higher, maybe 'oligarchy', or even 'capital owners' if we're being ambitious.

Someone with a medical background please tell me what on earth is happening inside that volume

All I can think of is that alien exo-suit from MIB with an alien operating him inside

This is my attitude whenever someone complains about there being too much 'politics' in everything.

Everything touches politics, but we only notice it when it adversely effects us. The people who take as granted that politics is it's own thing are usually the people who are the most privileged by it.
