d-RLY?

Seems that if a nation has gotten to the point of needing to send people to a whole different nation due to prison overcrowding. Then it really should be a crucial time to change laws on shit that exist to feed the prison industrial complex. But I am not shocked that the nation that was shipping people to Australia originally for the same reasons is falling back on doing it. Though I am kind of shocked that they aren’t just funding the US complex to build prisons here to send them to.

Would be nice if they also left NATO as part of joining BRICS.

The Palestinian resistance groups have been saying very clearly that they welcome support like how Hezbollah, Yemen, Iran, and the Iraqi groups have been providing. But that they do not want other nations sending in troops. That they will be seen as an occupying force and will be treated as one. Though I might be conflating them entering Gaza and West Bank. So maybe the other areas that are “Israel” based on the 1968 maps? Seems like another chance for them to make a stop into PKK areas on the way?

The over-reliance on making so many weapons basically self-automated instead of actually needing humans further magnifies how little lives matter and how much more profits do. Yet we have seen historically many times over how these over-hyped systems/weapons sold at higher and higher costs are made pointless by real humans with “dumb” systems/weapons. Look at the NVA/Viet Cong, Iraqi resistance, Taliban, PKK, and so many other “less advanced” fighters were able to show how all the tech didn’t matter. The “advanced” shit is all made to supposedly fight “modern battlefields” that we haven’t really seen be reality. Even the actual military leaders over the years have admitted as much.

All the “modern” shit just makes it easier to remove the humanity of conflict. It is much easier to kill lots of people if done through the eyes of a computer. Not to mention the false sense of assumed victory by some default. If we did see these “modern” wars with all sides using the shit the Military Industrial Complex hypes up so much. Then we would just see just mass destruction and death caused by computers fighting computers. Pretty sure nukes would be used really quick too.

The ROK has been at least trying to play things smart with regards to keeping much cooler heads than the US over the past 8yrs. Even if things have regressed on their end, I think that they aren’t likely to push for making their own nukes. The DPRK knows that having them and using them are two very different things. Having them means the US and ROK can’t just attack out of nowhere without a real fucking response. But using them means that it would likely lead to all nuclear nations unloading. As far as Japan is concerned, they are one of the most anti-nuke nations period given that they are the only nation to have seen the results and horror.

The US so far seems to have the most trigger happy assholes that default to “just nuke 'em and no more issues” for just about every geopolitical issue ever since we used them. So far we have lucked out that the presidents that were overseeing the initial push to build so many of them woke up to the death cult of war hawks. The others either saw that if the US were to use them first, then it would mean we would lose the war of optics. Or they happened to be in charge while less tension on that level was going on.

And of course Reagan literally seems to have only learned how truly horrible and fucked shit would be after watching a made for TV movie about the horrors of a post-nuclear war world would be like. Better than nothing but it really pisses me off how so many US leaders both A: acted like the USSR couldn’t possibly be upping their shit based on real fear of the US just doing what we keep doing in just attacking/invading other nations. And B: honestly just seem to think that it is okay for US to put them everywhere but any other nation doing so is “acts of aggression.”

CEOs need to be taken out and any and all parachute deals they signed should be voided if they harm (mentally and/or physically) workers. And that should mean that when shit like Boeing happens where many more lives are also impacted (many even sadly paying). Then that CEO should be executed and so should the other C letter titles AND the entire board of major shareholders (and best believe the lawmakers that took money from them also should catch that fate).

They have been stopping a lot more of them over at least the last six months or year. I think we are just shown a lot of the ones that do make it through by media that wants to make sure that Ukraine looks like they are doing better than they are. Much like the “Iron Dome”, if enough are sent over, plenty will eventually hit the target. With all the drones having cameras, they will have great footage of the ones that make it to their targets, and can play those on repeat for media and social media. A numbers game, they are able to send a fuckton of cheap converted consumer models.

You don’t inspire hope and support by showing the L’s. Just like how Israel is making sure to downplay their own loses. And of course making sure to buy off support from for-profit media and politicians that matter. That way the narrative is kept as being “innocent and pure of heart Israel is just protecting themselves” and that Iran is being the “aggressor by their unprovoked missile and drone strikes”. While completely acting like Israel didn’t blow up the Iranian embassy first. Or how Israel is actively bombing other nations on a daily basis.

The mainland should both find ways to make sure they get access to the shit being sent/sold to Taiwan to strip-down and obvious shit for better understanding the builds and tech. And make a big show about how the US breaks its own rules on selling arms to supposed adversaries. But also sending “thanks to the USA for the toys” bit of snark, as they are supplying China with weapons. Would be funny to see such an announcement and have all kinds of war vehicles and other high value weapons paraded around with the PLA markings added to them.

Would be hilarious to see both capitalist parties and the military industrial complex have to deal with the massive L in the media. Or at least the idea of such a massive multi-decade sale of arms, and thus arming of, such a big enemy of the US scandal sounds amazing to me. Hell make it even more a “fuck you” by the PLA transferring US made shit to the DPRK and really all other socialist nations that want them. lol

I kind of think that the US leadership is just making select shows of not doing what Israel wants just for the headlines and political theatre. Just enough to claim that they are putting any level of “pressure” on Israel. But of course they will keep funding the genocide.

Also noticed that the Israeli flag on the table is on a slightly taller stick. Not really important, but couldn’t unsee it after noticing it. lol

So many of these kinds of people tend to get off so easy when compared to folks that commit actions impacting a small number of people. So many in the US are ready to call for the death penalty for everything other than these evil greedy fucks who’s actions can have impacts for multiple generations. It is telling that the rich and powerful make sure no such penalty is placed as a legal option. If it is possible for someone that kills another person to be sentenced to death. Then it sure as fuck should be the only option for people like her and those that constantly play games with people’s lives and the entire economy of a nation just to hoard more money.

The bills (specifically the Restrict Act) give a lot more legal justifications for increasing US spying on citizens and some big punishments if found using methods (such as VPNs) to access apps from foreign adversaries. 20yrs prison and/or $1,000,000 fines. It of course means that the US control over social media (and the communications in them) is kept. Another Patriot Act being pushed while using the smoke screen of “protecting America.”

Even if the above wasn’t part of it. The US government likes to talk about competing in the “free market” with China and other nations instead of with violence/war. But they also pull this shit banning any level of “free market competition.” And will point to China as being the one that is “evil” for restricting shit. The US and Israel are the cause of nations like Cuba not being allowed to be traded with or compete. The US and Israel like to point to the DPRK as being “authoritarian,” but are spying on and purposely causing suffering entirely more than DPRK or China.

The fact that they can’t even correctly pretend to understand even basic facts like Tiktok not being in China. Shows how little they care to hide the real reasons for making the legal setup for much much more oppression inside the US. They feel that they have sufficiently created stupid masses that just believe them without question. Which is sadly true for so many people in either party. Though maybe the politicians of the US will have finally FAFO if gen-Z literally arms up and goes hunting.

Not wrong entirely, but these bills are more than just “banning ticktok,” and are creating more legal spying while being overtly simplified to just seem like not a big deal. The US is making a new Patriot Act that covers more modern communication systems. They are just doing the same old “red scare” shit to paint China as the “authoritarians” for spying on us. But it always paints our global and local spying as being “the price of freedom” or whatever.

The current set of bills are looking to actually be a modern revival of the old Patriot Act. Just with much much more spying on US citizens and users of VPNs. I am betting that we will see a lot of torrent sites and other file sharing/streaming sites banned and will massively benefit orgs like the MPAA/RIAA and other copyright outfits. Get sites banned and say they “aid our enemies” and shit will be much worse. So legal censorship and oppressing the masses at the whim of the capitalists.
