Yemen is doing pretty well, too. Don't mind admitting I had tears in my eyes thinking about how poor that place is yet they're still doing their best.

The way most Arab governments are now, is how the West has been since the fall of Rome. Not exaggerating...

most of the arabs nation leaders (apart from qatar) are hypocrites always have been.

Its like they ignore the world before 1948 when Judeo Christian values would have been considered a joke by some patient in a mental asylum.

And the closest thing to the Jews being strong before 1948 was the early years of the Soviet Union before Stalin cleaned them all out.

Basically Jews need a central government to become strong, or they can be discarded at will like the Dreyfus Affair.

An email receipt is less likely to get lost and you can always print it out later

Truth.

I find it particularly ironic that Mussolini gave the job of Finance Minister to Giorgio Jung, because "a Jew should be Finance Minister".

Not, you know, the best candidate.

Under Fascism, its not who you are that matters, its into which categories do the powerful assign you?

Never thought that'd ever become fashionable on the Left, but here we are in 2023...

Customer: "Can I get a receipt?"

Me: "Sure! Text or email?"

Customer: "You can't print it?"

Me: "No, we don't waste paper"

Customer: "But I need a receipt."

Me: "You bet! Text or email?"

Customer: "..........Nevermind!"

Me: "Have a merry Christmas!" 🤣

You know all those “Learn this programming language in 72 hours!” Tutorials you see everywhere?

Im looking for the exact opposite.

I want “Learn Go in a year”. Written by people who dont have a short attention span, for people who dont have a short attention span.

Any “learn things the slow way” resources out there you know about?

C and/or Go preferred.

would you rather get evicted or risk your health a little

Suppose you and other 20999 people had the idea of funding a decentralized... Nation. Really, a system of governance and national sovereignty.

In your opinion, what would be the steps to build this nation in a decentralized way which would make it resistant to external powers?

Microsoft’s agenda is very clear, they want control and surveillance over the flow of information on the internet.

Rather than allow websites to host the content themselves, Microsoft will subvert websites’ authority and post it on MSM .com. Then promote their bullshit proxy copy on their ad-revenue site via their Bing search. For example you search “Coindesk Bitcoin ETF” and it gives you “Coindesk via MSM”.

This has quite a few effects:

1) Microsoft leaches ad revenue

2) It creates dependency and submission from the websites that they can’t cut off the traffic from Bing, because the other search engines such as Google and Brave are now ranking the MSM version, and not the original.

3) Microsoft sees all data, not just that you searched then went to the site, but what you clicked or did after.

4) Microsoft controls the content, by picking what to proxy and then promote as trending news. This is a form of thought control.

Some will say this thought control is benign, but Microsoft’s left leaning censorship agenda is very clear with a partnership with NewsGuard. As ZeroHedge and the Daily Wire report, NewsGuard uses Microsoft’s Edge browser to display trust rankings like a nutrition label, and no surprise, it gives horrible ratings to conservative websites and flawless ranking to left leaning ones. One example of the danger of this type of censorship is that NewsGuard openly has financial ties to Pfizer partners and then downranks websites critical of the vaccine, calling them fake news.

Microsoft will insert their left-leaning propaganda into the Windows start menu, innocently pretending it’s just trending news. Brainwashed Democrats don’t even realize that it’s normalizing an authoritarian society through unquestioned acceptance of government authority. In fact, Democrats are so shielded from criticism, that when they later read proven, factual, and academic criticism of the government for the first time, their knee-jerk reaction is that it’s “crazy conspiracy theory” because they’ve been so conditioned to never question or criticize top-down control. This assumption is reinforced literally every time they open a program on Windows.

Sadly many other search engines just get results from Bing, and then mislead people into thinking they are getting privacy. For example people tolerate Duckduckgo and Qwant getting the bulk of their results from Bing, to try to avoid the data collection of going to Bing directly.

What they don’t realize is that Qwant feeds user data into Microsoft’s ads. And even more chilling is Duckduckgo being physically hosted on Microsoft’s servers and serving them all the same MSM links with kick-back surveillance on them. Duckduck is masquerading as a privacy alternative, when they insert 3rd party JavaScript such as “improving.duckduckgo.com” onto the links themselves. This allows Duckduckgo to learn how long you stayed on even the non-MSM articles, or what your reaction to it is. They will likely claim this is supposedly to improve the search engine, but considering Duckduckgo is the default on Tor browser, training AI on my choices is hardly the choice for anonymous browsing.

What can you do about it? Here’s our solutions:

1) Use a variety of search engines such as:

a) MetaGer.org

b) Mojeek.com

c) Farside.link/SearXNG

d) Simplified Privacy even hosts a SearXNG instance for you

e) Brave Search, although it’s hosted on Amazon AWS. Although Brave does use Amazon, they have LESS propaganda.

2) Try and find the original links and avoid MSM. For example MetaGer will serve you the originals. You can also go to the company’s site and see the trending links.

3) If you’re going to use Duckduckgo for variety, then use it for mundane research topics or images, but avoid news. It’s news topics that get MSM propaganda links more often.

4) Use Linux and not Windows, it’s not as hard as people make it out to be. You don’t need to learn the command line. You can learn in under 2 weeks. Most apps are in a browser now so there’s not the same software compatibility issues there were 10 years ago. I believe in you. Now you have to believe in you.

“Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War” by Robert Pape

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bob Pape is a professor of political science at the University of Chicago. A self-professed realist, he attempts to quantifiably settle long-standing questions on the effectiveness of strategic bombing campaigns. Pape identifies four bombing strategies: denial of an adversary’s military objective, punishment of their population, holding an enemy’s high-value targets at risk, and decapitation of an enemy’s leadership. He then categorizes and analyzes the outcomes of 33 air campaigns and performs a deep-dive on five notable US cases: Germany, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Pape concludes that in all instances, strategic bombing does not work. In fact, his findings show that only “denial” strategies were effective at all in changing enemy behavior. Pape’s book is still considered controversial, most notably due to his failure to differentiate between the varying degrees of intensity with respect to national interests. Despite the shortfall, his work is compelling and offers insights useful in predicting the effectiveness of current air campaigns in Ukraine and Gaza. While I can’t say that one truly can “bomb to win”, this book certainly makes a good case for and against air power strategies. 🛩️📉

Where are #Instagram supporters of #Palestine being censored? Certainly not in the comments section.

Anyone here does trading in dialy basis?

A lot of American right-wingers dis on the United Nations, consider the whole thing a joke. I'm starting to think this is because they call out Israel. Is that correct? Was all the anti-UN rhetoric planted by Israel in order to make it acceptible to ignore the U.N. callouts of what Israel does?

Of course the administration of the U.N. (the administration of any organisation) is full of woke idiots. That's just how administrators are.

But primarily the U.N. is a major means for all of the countries of the world to negotiate. And if all the countries of the world vote to pass some resolution, except for two of them, that has nothing to do with the woke nonsense of the administrators.

Don't be fooled.

How many #AUStriches have heard this Mussolini quote you reckon?

What percentage have any idea what fascism was then and what it looks like today?

When leftists have been screeching about “fascism” for a decade whilst their preferred political parties institute it, how can any normie have any clue about this stuff?

We’re gonna need a new system then
