Oh man glad you have learned about the favicons issue it's insane that we just accept such an easily fingerprintable method of getting TINY IMAGES. Is there a way to cache all of it? I just disable everything lol
I agree, the few moves the US makes to try to save face right now are backfiring because they're so obviously performative, sometimes even destructive like acting as a lure for Zionist military who wants to attack desperate civilians.
Not only that, they come out at the same time as announcements of our abject cruelty and intent to destroy Palestine. Liberals are practically signal jamming themselves.
That just means we need to order 50% more F-35s I see no problem here. This is job creation.
Sure would have been nice if people like Ronald Reagan and Marianne Williamson hadn't pushed people to rely on faith healing
It's a long story, and my entry point into understanding the breakup of the British sterling system was history about post-WWI shift from colonial empires to Harry Truman "development" (really maldevelopment, the language used for capitalist NGO aid today is very similar to his inaugural address).
Long story short it involves merciless application of death and torture to enclose a region and keep costs down, as well as ruthless exploitation of civilians to try to crack guerillas, the Phoenix Program's main innovation over what was implemented in the Congo and Malaysia was a proto-internet communications system,and a methodical operations system escalating above that to commando squads and air strikes. The philosophy of anti-colonial torture has only grown more severe and incorporated electrical wires, clinical psychology, and evasion of human rights organizations. Look up "The Five Techniques".
This is in order to establish a top-down system where colonies do not trade with one another, but only interface with the rigged colonial economy. Wall st + world bank + imf system has just taken this to further extremes with Blackrock and Vanguard against 84% of the population of the world plus 90% of the population of the remaining 16% in global north countries. The currency system being used is less crude and there is also the technological dependency on the payment systems like Swift to consider.
You're not wrong in all likelihood, but Mastodon and Misskey and their forks all have a thingy to send an opt out of AI scraping request.
His analysis of sub-imperialism is more important than ever, but many people are stuck relitigating the "imperialism" of the countries with the firmest anti-imperialist foreign policy. The countries which are the most derided in western media as a result, China and Russia. They do this rather than making a criticism of sub-imperialists like UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, India.

Like, workers at Google are drawn to telegraphed ineffectual labor action because they're able to get some of the last monopoly rents in US industries at the top of the value chain. Service workers have been much better at organizing. Having done a fair bit of service industry work and attempts at organizing [redacted shithead business] that doesn't surprise me.
