Europe going psychotic over peace prospects, and responding to economic extortion from US with more psychosis against Russia, is a crazy level at least as high as what comes from the right.
Absolutely gratifying. Keep talking, this is great stuff, I am highly entertained now.
social media disinformation making smears in favour of warmongering is quite new
Got it!
but extreme statism if not paid agents.
Not a sentence! Also nothing coherent. What are you trying to say here?
The high divisiveness is part of the mind control techniques
Absolutely true.
that are making most of the audience internalize evil
I don’t think this part is true. Most of the tactic of divisiveness and chaos (deliberately lapsing into incoherence and hostility against the other speaker as a default) is to prevent people internalizing anything, I think that is separate from the more directed type of propaganda that’s aiming to get people to adopt some particular worldview or other. A lot of it is just attacking the whole concept of developing an accurate and truthful worldview, or effectively communicating on the internet with other people, in general.
Those were not of certain effectiveness in 2010.
Are you saying the US populace wasn’t manipulated to unconditionally support Israel in 2010? I would say the 2010 electorate was way more misled on that topic than the modern-day audience. There were always some outliers, but the way that pro-Palestinian views have become mainstream even to the point of impacting presidential campaigns, having direct respresentation in congress, that kind of thing, is new.
Again, the really effective manipulating in the modern day is in other directions. “Europe needs to quit this green energy nonsense and start buying fuel from Russia again.” “Joe Biden betrayed the working class and the American people and as a faithful supporter of the left I’m not going to vote for Kamala Harris as a result.” That kind of thing.
“Hurting patients” is a wild understatement.
What?
The US rulership’s wildly successful tactics of mind control, specifically as pertains to Israel, really haven’t changed much since Noam Chomsky was writing about them in 1988.
That’s actually part of the problem: New techniques in mind control have been being developed, including organized mass shilling on social media, and the US government hasn’t really gotten the hang of how to do it effectively. As a result they’ve lost control to a large extent over the US populace. However, the people who are now gaining control are somehow even worse than the pro-genocide contingent who were in charge before.
All you have to do is reach out your hand, on Lemmy, and you can touch someone who’s openly in favor of genocide in Xinjiang or Ukraine. That’s new. The stuff Chomsky talks about seems kind of antiquated now. But it was definitely in full-scale operation, and easily predictable in its features, in 2010.
Oh, hello! I didn’t even notice it was you when I was replying. Good to see you found a way to shoehorn “Biden” and “DNC” and “Hillary” into this totally related topic. You did it real smoothly, too, it totally wasn’t some random hard turn into a rant about US politics and your favorite politicians from the US to talk about. Nice.
I think it is far more likely that some other country would fall out of our good graces than that the US government might become anti-Israeli-genocide.
(I am not saying you’re wrong as far as the Israeli calculus or that factoring into their decision. Just that, as far as my own calculus, they don’t really have any need to get concerned.)
It’s actually a very telling carve-out, and I have no idea what it’s doing so far down in the article. It should have been front and center.
The only two logical conclusions I can see are:
I very much suspect that it’s the second one. Which indicates that the lock-in was an intentional decision, and one that actually would make quite a bit of sense on reflection.
I actually changed the title to make sure that it wouldn’t be clickbait, by modifying the question to become instead the answer to the question.
If you care about privacy, don’t use biometrics.
It is sad because it is less convenient, but that’s what’s up.
This issue is explained in quite a lot of detail in the video. There do exist some stable orbits despite the lumpiness, and it’s possible to simulate the orbit (stable or not) of any given object given its initial parameters. Guess what was the starting point for the analysis they did in the video?
I feel like maybe enough time has passed that this can get un-stickied?
Canadian slur for Irish Catholics, apparently.
🤷
I edited the comment, and I honestly think it’s funnier / more impactful without it.
It is rare for something I see on the internet to make me bust out laughing.
I am clearly just talking nonsense. I actually didn’t know that meatballs were called that in the UK, so I guess it’s perfectly legit. There actually was a big rift in the Scrabble community, decades ago, about using the British official word list versus the American official word list, and apparently they’ve more or less standardized on a combined list that includes all the words on both. So anything in British English is completely fair game, which may to be fair explain why some of the words that aren’t real friendly in the US are still on there.
Pretty sure George Washington invented English, it was right about the time he was teaching the Wampanoag about thanksgiving and the Iroquois about federal democracy.
😃
(I am joking don’t get all upset. Here, here’s Al Murray to soothe the English pride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x2ovlPr2IE)
Yeah, that’s weird.
JEW
JEWED
JEWING
JEWS
All removed.
On the other hand, quite a lot of the list does make perfect sense for them to remove. “Jewed” probably needs to go. The next word is"jigaboo", also. 😬 😬 😬

Why would they commit to a story in writing? He asked them for the story directly, and they told him to go fuck himself in open court. Why would responding to that by then asking them to write something down and giving them a later deadline get a different result?
Even before the hearing began, Justice Department officials tried to have it canceled, writing to Judge Boasberg in the late afternoon to tell him there was no point in coming to court since they did not intend to provide him with any additional information about the deportation flights.
It’s hard to come up with a clearer invitation to leave the courtroom in cuffs, if you’re not a special type of person who’s above the law. The judge’s job is to remind people that they’re not above the law, if they ever do this type of stuff, and at that he egregiously failed.
It’s true. Part of the point the video was making is that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with cheap thrills. But (he says), it’s a little weird for the cheap thrills to be the subject of the network’s greatest investment of money into anything to date, and dressed up in all the trappings of a super-blockbuster tentpole offering, and based (supposedly) on powerful source material which is anything but cheap thrills and in fact makes a poignant and compelling point in the exact opposite direction, saying that cheap thrills against the backdrop of a dying world can be a poisonous distraction.
