VPN, friend

I feel like I’d be embarrassed to still listen to the same music I listened to at 14. 14 year old me didn’t have terrible taste, but goddamn there has been so much music since. I’m nearing 40 and I’m still finding new and more interesting or challenging music to listen to

Realizing that emotions aren’t and can never be binary is HOMO STUFF

NEVER stop talking about this. Every time he has a press conference, ask him about it.

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.

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!
