I mean to be fair I haven't met the first Venezuelan (I'm literally constantly interacting with all types of Venezuelans day to day) that didn't want Maduro gone and behind bars, so what happened there is slightly less pure evil and more of a deal with the devil type of situation.
If I had a penny for every Bulgarian ruler that took the skull of a Byzantine emperor and turned it into a drinking cup, I'd have two pennies...
I think no one will condemn this because everyone sees the Israeli government as a bigger issue than even Trump. Which is quite naive.
We just have the rule that whoever cooks doesn't wash. I hate cooking because I hate getting my hands sticky, my wife hates washing the dishes because she always forgets the corners and we end up rewashing anyway.
It's perfect harmony. Whenever she doesn't want to cook, I cook, and she then procrastinates washing as long as she wants because it is her responsibility and we both know it.
We basically never fight, but cooking and washing has never been a point of tension in this household lol.
Scammers aren't even writing their own scams anymore. It's ChatGPT all the way down.
There's a lot of defaultism at play here, and to be honest, it's not the type of defaultism that should necessarily be criticised. If you're in Germany, you expect most things to be done by German citizens, and therefore the tag of "foreigner" is treated as an exception to that, therefore it gets mentioned.
Making it illegal or difficult for news stations to say the origin of criminals would only make it worse. Then the narrative would be that every crime was committed by foreigners and that's what the right wing would push. Perhaps it would be better to make it mandatory to mention the origin of criminals, that way there could be no obfuscation of facts, but then if there's a high profile crime committed by a specific minority, innocent and unrelated people from that same country of origin could get targeted for no reason other than xenophobia.
There's no easy solution to this, but claiming that it's all racism instead of complex human interactions where there's also bound to be some racism is not the way.
It sucks too, because the power for pattern recognition and identification behind Machine Learning is incredible, and if we were being more responsible with it, we could be using it only for truly valuable purposes like early cancer detection, assistant tools, proofreading etc, instead of training it to plagiarise other people's work and kill people somewhere.
So from themselves?
The thing about "prince" is that it's halfway to "nonce"
Fast Fourier Transforms literally put food on my table many times in the past. Final Fantasy has never done that for me. But it might someday.
To be fair, I would very much encourage people to use knives or even guns for self defence before flamethrowers that can cause tons of collateral damage. Fire isn't exactly something you can direct super clinically at someone without it also spreading everywhere.
They wanted my bread.
I really think you guys need to wake up to the fact that they don't care about distracting from the Epstein files because they know they can't be held accountable whatsoever.
The reality is every file could come out unredacted tomorrow and absolutely nothing would happen (maybe one or two major donors would get house arrest at best).
They're not trying to distract from anything because it doesn't matter. No one will do anything.
They are just furthering the US's economic and military goals by toppling unfriendly governments because they can. They don't care about optics, but they do care about whatever goals they have underlined for themselves.
The most likely unsettling reality for most American progressives, I imagine, is that toppling Iran, establishing a friendly government and gaining military power in the region, benefits them as well, just like with Venezuela, but it is a dark reality for most of the rest of the world. Not because Iran's government was great, they were absolute shit, but because that means the US will just extort whoever they want whenever they want.
Some Americans probably prefer to believe this is a distraction than to see how this ultimately does benefit their own country's immediate military interests at the expense of almost everybody else, not to mention setting an incredibly grim precedent for the future.
Basically, I think people are being naive or deliberately playing dumb when they pretend they don't understand how this benefits the US military industrial complex, and instead think it's all a distraction. Yes, what benefits you guys actively harms other humans. That's the sad reality of geopolitics sometimes.
