Those systems were forced into city budgets even though they’re highly prone to mistakes and mostly useless. It was basically some sweetheart deal for the company that manufactures it, and placed almost entirely in lower income neighborhoods. Fuck that stupid ass bloatware—not to mention fuck the eavesdropping machines that they really are. Sensitive microphones and you think the cops are only using that access to listen for gunshots? Fuuuuck no.
Yes, that is what I came to fucking talk about. I’m shocked you’re the only one. How fucking deluded. And people hear “74” and think flighty and only partially lucid, I think. But that is not that old. This is a fully conscious, thinking, feeling person and she has the most brainwashed thinking ever. Literally bartered woman syndrome it seems. Just so completely gaslit that it’s delusional.
Even if there weren’t forced conscription, actions like this force the people from the aggressor country to face the reality of what their government is doing. If they are not welcome to vacation destinations and everywhere they go they are reminded that their country is proudly slaughtering and starving people—if they’re not given any room to pretend things are normal, they will demand an ability to return to normal. They would pressure their govt to stop the genocide.
So even in the case that these people hadn’t been conscripted and were therefore partially responsible for the apartheid being inflicted on Palestinians, this would still be an acceptable action.
Stop the genocide
Make the perpetrators and any supporters uncomfortable and unwelcome until they change.
Things are not normal right now. There is literally another holocaust happening. As we sit here typing on our phones. And you are defending the perpetrators. Only thinking of these people here as “Jews” and therefore the perpetually victims no matter what is what’s actually antisemitic.
lol I seriously thought this was satire when I read this comment. Then I remembered people are this dense
You mean you wish they made up insane stories from absolute fantasy to make the standard of goodness fluctuate with their whims? I dunno…
Kinda hard when they’ve gone full mafioso and split up the country into territories so that we only have like one choice and have to be a customer. Because capitalism runs on no competition and monopolies, right?
“Invasion of privacy and illegal surveillance” are typically terms you associate with people and institutions of power. Not hackers outing hate groups. There is a distinct difference between “illegal surveillance” and shouting the names of self-proclaimed nazis and fascists to protect vulnerable populations from them.
It’s not “a side” that’s doing it, it’s people. Not institutions, not a government. It’s protection from those that would use actual illegal surveillance to target out-groups. Paradox of tolerance plays heavily in this scenario. People are all for protecting the innocent. But when people like you say, “well, wait a second now, these fascists deserve privacy too,” you play right into the natural evolution of fascism.
Tell me about it.
Ugh.
Demand better discourse then. Because bad discourse don’t lead to positive change
No im not. You’re just seeing the issue-as-it-is as binary. I’m saying it’s bad to ignore all context to make a cheap point, even if your point is good. There are a billion ways to make a good point. Why choose a bad one.
Hm. I dunno. That’s such a weird statement lol
I mean, the entire interview is for viewers and not interviewees, right? A “gotcha” moment in a debate between people at a lunch table still makes the gotted (lol) person start to panic and stumble over their words and start vomiting nonsense much like we saw here. If you have two opposing views and one person gets the upper hand, both people know it (even if the other person absolutely refuses to admit it, which they almost never do)
At least it’s just one yike and not multiple yikes
A reasonable yike ratio
Am I the on,y one who never had to play a recorder?
Isn’t that ISIS, not the taliban?
DONT BRING NUANCE AND LOGIC TO A SENSELESS FEELINGS-BAITING POST! It doesn’t MATTER the city layout over top of it, the context of rapid and rampant industrialization in China, or something as inconsequential as number of people!
A building turning furries into cider? And people are happy about this?! I mean, we in he US will give miles of leeway to anyone if they check one “minority” box.
That tiered system is fucking absurd. Ad supported, ad supported plus, “premium” and “premium plus”—WHICH STILL HAS ADS.
What in the fuck. Who in their right mind is paying for that?
NEVER stop talking about this. Every time he has a press conference, ask him about it.
