It depends on how hungry you are.

Well... I suppose that I just made a rookie mistake of giving some chances to ML.

Whoah... The situation is even worse than I originally thought.

What thinking? Providing a short summary is not thinking. There are none of my personal opinions present(except for the first sentence describing what is coming next). I simply provided a text version of a video without creating it myself to specifically exclude possibility of accidentally adding my personal opinions to the summary instead of providing an accurate video representaion.

Thanks. Yeah, I was mostly referring to the social media, publically available software(like OS or apps) makers and some tech manufacturers. Should have clarified that.

Kinda toxic, but okay. Fair enough. Good luck in your work and staying anonymous.

Surveillance methods evolve way too rapidly.

Sadly, but ml instance has also communities that are focused on non-political themes like tech stuff, so for now it has sense to block each community on ml except the normal ones.

I know that we can, but, sadly, there do exist people that are actively trying to prevent us from having it with all their might.

It was never trully about guns. The whole situation appeared mostly because of skilled people with decent quality 3D printing equipment are able to repair and recreate products for mere fraction of a cost, compared to what greedy corporations are asking you to pay. Which hurts their business models.

For lazy people here is a short summary of this video from YouTube's summarize option:

This video by Politically Depressed provides a critical analysis of the term "tankie" and the political phenomenon of "campism," viewed through the lens of a leftist activist from the Global South. The author shares their own personal journey, detailing how their perspective evolved from being inspired by Noam Chomsky's theories to becoming disillusioned with them during the revolutionary events in Lebanon (2019).

Key topics covered in the video:

What is a "tankie"? (09:27 - 19:21): Historically, the term originated after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was crushed by Soviet tanks. Today, the author defines "tankies" as those who blindly support any regime that opposes the United States, often ignoring the genuine suffering of local populations living under those regimes.

Campism as a better term (19:21 - 31:45): The author argues that "campism"—the idea of splitting the world into two warring camps (imperialist vs. anti-imperialist)—is a more accurate term for this worldview. They criticize the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic, noting that it frequently leads to the justification of authoritarian dictatorships.

Is campism harmful? (31:45 - 45:37): The author explains how campism hinders true international solidarity. They critique how Western leftists often ignore the voices of people in the Middle East (specifically Syria, Iran, and Lebanon), attempting to force complex local struggles into a simplistic geopolitical framework.

Towards an "internationalism from below" (45:37 - 57:03): The author calls for moving away from personality cults—specifically referencing the need to "kill your daddies" (the act of breaking away from blind adherence to intellectual authorities like Chomsky)—and instead focusing on building horizontal solidarity among movements and communities worldwide.

Key Takeaway: The author concludes that a genuine fight against imperialism and capitalism requires "internationalism from below"—prioritizing mutual support among people rather than blind loyalty to geopolitical blocs or states.
