If we’re really going full warlord-rule society (“the worst”), names on a domestic account at some institution are worthless. Wax for the scraping. Bonds, bank accounts, stocks, all of it. Cash gets devalued by inflation. That leaves you with foreign accounts, goods, metals, crypto. #1 and #4, assuming you have electricity to access/move them.
I think RAMs or similar win in that category by being as actively harmful as possible. And having the huge blindspot where you run over kids without noticing.
Hollywood can get bent, we need open source culture
Well, the proof’s in the pudding - examine the evidence on this point, does he pretend to be something he’s not, better than what he is?
Sanctions not going through Congress, it’s insane that’s considered constitutional

~12% for a widely speculated upon stock, not really.
Norman Finkelstein said something the other day, quoting someone else…it was…“hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue”. Meaning, evil people understand what they’re doing is wrong, that’s why they pretend to be good. Hypocrisy is beyond the point to them. They’ve sacrificed morality. Although I think Finkelstein was saying it in the context of talking about how Republican pols do so much less of even pretending to be good (though certainly not zero).
It means I should have read the article before I posted that.
Rest of the world understands solidarity better than U.S. voters
“Naive and outdated” that’s one way to describe sending $30B in arms to a genocide. Others would call it “complicity in genocide”. Like, experts in international law.
Been on lemmy.world for the last month or so you guys, I fucking hate it. Arguing with "we had to vote for Harris"ers until some vigilante mod decides my angry response to their support for genocide isn’t “civil” enough.
We know from footage Hamas/PIJ killed a significant number, including civilians. Back in late 2023 I was figuring maybe about 75/25 Hamas/IDF ratio. Soon after, we saw a lot of evidence of IDF tanks and helicopters firing on civilians, not to mention the dozens of exploded cars. But that is a LOT of explosives in those statistics. 50/50, 33/66?
