It’s a meme quote caption, but the source can easily be found by searching for the author and a part of the text in quotes, on any searci engine.

They’re sure working overtime to make this quote apply to not just the US, but the whole world:

We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.

• William J. Casey, CIA Director

I’m genuinely wondering how this is gonna shake out. I don’t see the US accepting the defeat of apartheid in Palestine the same way they were forced to in South Africa. Israel is too useful a military base for their intended war with Iran, which the rest of the world has zero interest in.

These “apologies” by liberals to indigenous communities in the US and Canada are so hollow.

“We’re so sowwwwy!”

“Cool, can we have our land back then?”

“No”

“Can you at least stop currently commiting genocide, instead of just apologizing for one you did less than 150 years ago?”

“No”

Also this:

Looks like Germany also expressed support, France condemned, and the rest of the EU is silent so far.

Great to see even Israel’s allies in the ME speak out against this.

People don’t realize that the US founders explicitly modeled their new state on the Roman empire, with an expansionist aristocracy / slaveocracy controlling the state. The debates on this in the federalist papers are very explicit, as is the way they structured its government. Hell even half the buildings in washington DC are modelled after roman architecture.

Those of us who were on the net in the 90s, we had to make accounts for every forum / community site we wanted to use, it wasn’t a big deal. Nowadays if you go over to reddit, they’re convinced any site you have to create an account for is doomed to fail. Even one like this one, which similar to email, connects you with a wider network outside of the one you signed up on.

One of them, @nutomic is the other, but we have a ton of contributors now. Glad to have you.

Israel and the US are gonna take us into ww3.

Everyone who disagrees with my opinions is a insert current US enemy here bot.

It’s the best there is.

Former democratic party strategist: I never had to listen to the left on any issue.

I recently heard someone say after they almost accidentally went in a wrong building entrance, “Good thing I didn’t do that or I would regret my life choices.”

A bit much for something minor that created no more than two seconds of awkwardness.

That will at least explain why things are getting worse tho. The term enshittification is just nostalgic idealization with no real theory behind it.

Marxists have a hundred years of text dedicated to alienation from labor, the falling rate of profit, degeneration of art and creative disciplines under later capitalism due to the profit motive, cycles of class struggle, all based on a materialist analysis of changing production and class relationsi

But for some reason a trendy term like enshittification that vaguely means things are getting worse, without going into the basis about why they’re currently getting worse, has caught on.

I’m convinced it’s part of the tech grifter trend to take things that were already invented, slap a new name on it, repackage it, and sell it.

This one is mine too. It’s used in a way that can give it more meaning (mainly, this is something out of our control), but logically the phrase is just corpo filler-speak that means absolutely nothing.

first comment:

The question of why a particular country has decided to sanction Russia and not Ukraine, and why a country has decided to support one country versus another, whether it’s Germany, France, and Poland sending tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, or North Korea sending artillary shells to Russia, is not up to the Linux development commuity.

next comment:

Sanctions are imposed by Governments — for example, the US, European, Japan, Switzerland, Norway, etc. Not Linux developers, nor Russian troll farms, nor Russia’s useful idiots on the internet. It’s not up to anyone on this mail thread.
