TechnoAnomie [he/him, any]

Amateur hour fully taken advantage of by professionals.

There’s no strategic value targets, but they should have copied the Americans in launching two in succession to scare their real opponents. Then again, it didn’t work then.

The hero of the week, for saying a couple of funny things about the hooligan-like party surrounded by self-congratulations, gave away the real reason for the ban, which isn’t of burqas at all, but of all face coverings, on what passes for a top quality comedy show.

It’s not about burqas, it’s about identifying people through the video surveillance a lot of municipalities are passing as security. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to expect Palantir and NSO to make some contracts here.

Definitely unrelated, a self-proclaimed animal rights group is now considered a rescue group, and gets immunity from the law. No cookie for guessing who they’re associated with, or that it will otherwise be selectively enforced.

High volatility and the basis for everything else. Stability quickly crashes when people can’t eat or work.

Oh, there are. There’s quite a few where you delete your wallet or forget your password.

Weren’t there only occupation soldiers left?

“The zionist Holocaust has radicalized both ends of society.”

It has also radicalized them both to how much zionist capital controls America. Not that I like that it means the far right blame ze Jews in general, obviously, but it bodes badly for support of the colony as material conditions worsen.

No peace prize for Trump, but an excuse for the the next war as a consolation prize.

China has to replace that consumer market. This will require China to give up its net exporter status, and to unleash its 1.4 billion consumer market. Doing so would require raising the income and providing social safety nets and jobs guarantee to the Chinese working class. And this will require China to give up its neoliberal ideology. The time to transition into the next phase of socialism was probably a decade ago, but it is still not too late. Adapt or the world dies.

I’m not equipped to add much, but I don’t think that it entirely correct. While it is just double entry book-keeping that must add up, it is also true that debt forgiveness can rebalance the books. Since random ad-hoc post-facto charity is no way to have stable economies, it would indeed seem to promote a quick and sudden upheaval of China. But would it not be possible to systematize these transfers and changes in a way that is more stable and predicable, such as Keynes designed with the Bancor (and the Euro had a veneer of pretending to do, with very little to no backing of it)?

Despite the overhyped reports of Ukrainian counterattacks, they rarely manage to regain much territory, and most of this territory is recaptured a few weeks later.

And an unknown, but important, part of the claims are videos of raised flags from months before.

Decentralized in the sense that it doesn’t control it; at best, it gets controlled by different private factions who will want different things, whereas in the west, the state, “elected” or otherwise, still controls a significant part of the policy. Although, yeah, I can see it’s a fragile difference.

The foreign influence being named after Soros, I couldn’t get whether that was a common term or not.

Ukraninan totalitarism video, from a Ukrainian in Kharkov translated by a Ukrainian in Mariupol, about how Ukrainian society devolved into decentralized totalitarianism. Minor brain worms detected, but my radar is not the best.

I don’t know if it’s old news or contradicted by analysis, but it presented to me a new perspective about how it’s completely fucked. Instead of becoming a nazi regime that was “stabbed in the back”, the complete lack of state authority appears to me will make it divided by militias fighting each other. And since western occupation to maintain stability threatens Russia, if it was affordable and possible in such a vast country, and since Russia couldn’t possibly occupy it either, shit will be very bad.

Hezbollah chief Qassem says resistance to Israel key amid disarmament talks

Comprador regime gets orders from Washington and tells the army to plan to disarm Hezbollah, who responds they will defend from the colony no matter what.

Peace in the Middle East through constant civil wars everywhere is the new plan, since they can’t win anything.

While the regime rapidly continued to develop its artificial intelligence arsenal, the deployment of these technologies has led to mistaken identifications, wrongful arrests, and civilian deaths. […] This situation provides an initial glimpse into how such technologies might be used in future wars, as well as a warning of how these technologies could malfunction or be misused, resulting in the killing of civilians.

The technology is shit, but its a useful tool for pretending to care about “humane” slaughter, sorry, “precise” bombing and “target” spying.

I guess there’s a silver lining of the amount of waste in making NATO’s wunderwaffen; if nothing else does it, they will, inevitably, make it crumble.

That is how OECD countries count unemployment since sometime after history was won.

Their professional life is aspiring to appease Brussels in order to reach its inner sphere, where they circlejerk about how great Euroland and further alienate themselves, all the while surrounded by lobbying groups posing as independent parties, which inevitably are full of American capital spending money and influence to control.

They simply accept it as their role, it’s just how things work.

I’ve read the latest Wine has issues with the installers, which wouldn’t be the first time.

Democrats just found the new “centrist” group to cater to.

They believe picking sides in any conflict would undermine their soft power as reliable mediators, instead of an untrustworthy world police role that they don’t want to replace. Or its a bullshit excuse to appease the libs that don’t want to antagonize the US, but I think they believe it.
