he regarded her as a “liberal war hawk”
Okay... but where's the lie?
This is a lie...
Hillary lacks judgment
Hillary is an apprentice of one of the US's most heinous war criminals, Henry Kissinger - unlike Trump, she's a thoroughly trained imperialist. She has plenty of judgement - and that made her far more dangerous to the world than Trump.
I agree, that can't be prevented without a dystopian censorship regime though. More than educating parents about what is good for children to watch, probably can't be done.
Not to defend the ongoing bullcrap with the age verification but if you look at what child videos Youtube has to offer this would be better off to be banned from the entire Planet. Just cheap brainrot animation series that aim to keep kids locked in.
So far, the ANC-regime here in South Africa has ruled out age verification laws... for now.
Jokes on you. We was just pretending to not be deviants
I thought all of the prudes got kicked out in the 17th century, WTF?
We don’t need a written constitution!
Trust us
Who could've guessed that simply banning "obscene" porn wasn't enough for those freaks?
After he helped Trump win the U.S. election in 2016, it was extremely hard to take him seriously.
"Hillary lacks judgment and will push the United States into endless, stupid wars which spread terrorism ... she certainly should not become president of the United States."
There’s more on Wikipedia, but I think it’s foolish to believe he has ever cared about anyone but himself.
Assange had timed the release to coincide with the 2016 Democratic National Convention because he believed Clinton had pushed for his indictment and he regarded her as a "liberal war hawk"
I’m don’t think a Trump presidency was inevitable without Julian Assange. He was the useful idiot.
Russia unfortunately threatened him into serving their cause, which completely undermined his previous work and any integrity of Wikileaks.
It's a stupid comparison, but I always think of The Ways from The Wheel of Time books. https://wheeloftime.fandom.com/wiki/Ways
It feels the closest in terms of fictional metaphor. We had this wondrous thing that let us connect to others and it was slowly corrupted and ultimately taken over by dark forces. Now using it you risk madness and the only people that truly see any benefits are those same dark forces that corrupted it.
I think it is obvious to most of us who have spent any significant time online in our life. To be clear, We've been seeing them try to control the internet since at least the late 2000s. It was only after about 2015 that capitalist interests controlled enough of the tech sector to actually start pushing with clear and tangible results.
I don't have references. Just anecdotally lived experience from being chronically online and watching. The internet educated many of us on how the world really works.
over the last two decades I have seen, in no particular order,
AI is the crown jewel of censorship. All of this breaks my heart. It ties all of these things together and ultimately centralizes what was an decentralized ecosystem.
importantly though, AI is the front end. It's the middleman to keep you from the information of the internet.
The other side of the coin, The other threat, The one that your average user wouldn't understand is just the datacenters. Forcing everyone to keep their website on a VM on some data warehouse control of the hardware.
Honestly, 20+ years of seeing this and I don't have a lot of hope that it can be stopped.
I don't know how to explain all of this to the average person.
The only thing that comes close is super childish. "They stole it." It's the only sentence that fits and it breaks my heart. It boggles my mind. The complexity of the systems, The power it gave us as people. They stole it.
To expand on this point, which is correct:
It’s a prison. We let them get rich enough to imprison us with the tech we developed for them.
Whatever happened to him 🤔
This should be pretty damn obvious by now to anyone old enough to remember what the world was like before the internet - if it wasn't for the internet, the majority of us would still be neatly swallowing the lies the liberals fed us about Israel, most of us would still believe Law & Order was some kind of documentary, and most of us would still believe climate change was some fringe theory only hippies and treehuggers cared about.
That is the whole point of AI - it's a weapon. And a weapon requires no ROI - the people who forlornly hope that that the so-called "AI bubble" bursting poses some kind of existential threat to the liberal socio-economic order is going to be waiting for a long, long time.
It's the internet itself that poses an existential threat to the liberal socio-economic order (no matter what self-congratulatory YT leftists tell everybody) - and AI is the only tool they have that's going to put it back in the box for them.
Oh no!
Technically, this bill (and the other one in Britain) could shut under 16s from email in general.
Keeping vulnerable kids under the thumbs of bad parents and tyrants.
Yeah that's good (assuming they can get email from another provider or host their own)
None of them ever gave a shit about the children, information is money and another form of keeping the masses in check and i'm happy it's blowing up in their greedy faces.
Every government needs to stop forcing this shit on us.
So you're going to ban amazon.co.uk too right... right?
They don't want you to reuse things. More plastic to the plastic gods!
Strange. I'd think they'd want everyone shopping.
Ok, but where is the bad part?
And never forget what they did to the ICC.
