A great video on practical resistance to Nazi organizing! It's less than 5 minutes long and super simple :)

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The increasing integration of Big Tech companies with the US government and military, specifically focusing on the commissioning of tech executives into the Army Reserve.

Key Points:

  • Tech Execs Joining the Army: Executives from Meta, OpenAI, and Palantir are joining the US Army Reserve as part of a new "Innovation Corps" (Detachment 2011) to bring tech upgrades to the military.
  • Motivations: The tech executives cite patriotism and a desire to equip the military for conflicts with high-tech adversaries like China. The speaker suggests the tech sector will also profit from this arrangement.
  • Fascism Analogy: The speaker draws a parallel to fascism, where there is no separation between the public and private sectors, and corporations and the government work together for the same goals.
  • Debunking the "Aversion" Myth: The speaker refutes the idea that Silicon Valley was previously averse to working with the military, citing examples like the Snowden revelations and existing contracts between tech companies and intelligence agencies (CIA, NSA).
  • Historical Context: The speaker references John Poindexter and Palantir's origins, highlighting the long-standing relationship between Silicon Valley and the intelligence community.
  • Alarming Language: The speaker finds the language used by the tech executives about uniting American innovation with the military's mission to be alarming, echoing the core tenet of fascism.
  • Eisenhower's Warning: The speaker invokes Dwight Eisenhower's warning about the militarization of American life, suggesting that this integration is a realization of that warning on a grander scale.

Highlights:

  • The commissioning of tech executives into the Army Reserve is presented as a significant development, symbolizing the deepening ties between Big Tech and the US military.
  • The speaker emphasizes the potential dangers of this integration, drawing parallels to fascism and raising concerns about the erosion of the separation between corporate and state power.
  • The historical context provided challenges the narrative of a recent shift in Silicon Valley's relationship with the military, revealing a long history of cooperation.

Across the entire world, there are less than 1000 Indonesian restaurants. That's fewer than Georgian- a country of 3 million people. And Indonesia has almost 100 times that number; the 4th largest nation on the planet. How is that possible? How has the cuisine of Southeast Asia's most populous country gone unnoticed- and what is it, anyway?

There are 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago and summarizing all of it in a single video is impossible; but that doesn't mean there aren't common threads, a shared history, and signature dishes worth attention. And anyway, Indonesia is more about a culture that's unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Though it really admits you don't plan to sell most of that stock.
