Let’s be clear. I don’t support bombing anyone. I’m honestly just interested in what people think. There were no comments on this post so I thought maybe I could ignite some conversation because I’m curious.

I’m guessing nobody watched the video I posted which is fine it’s half an hour long ago I get it, but I do think it’ll give people more perspective. We don’t know how many Iranians want foreign interventions, but if all people in Iran who oppose the government (which is up to 81% according to stats), is it then, right to bomb the Iranian government? If the people themselves said “please bomb our repressive government!”?

I’m not to say what’s right or wrong and I also don’t know how much is true, but I think it’s worth thinking about. We don’t even know it would lead to any kind of good outcome in the aftermath. It could lead to more chaos and/or a more repressive regime for all we know.

Edit: screw everything I said, they’re bombing schools in Iran now

Turns out humans just suck! :D

Firstly: I’m not saying that bombing other countries is good. Authoritarian leaders also suck.

HOWEVER, I think this is better than Venezuela. In Iran, people are fighting for their lives and thousands have died to the repressive regime. In Venezuela, the US simply took out the leader and turned the country into their Colonial subject… there was no revolution to speak of, they just attacked. In Iran they’re at least helping the population in some way because they’re already fighting and they are fighting with no weapons.

Ryan Chapman had the honour of speaking to people from Iran who say that it’s hard for people in the west to quite conceive it but they are praying for war and intervention from abroad because they are running out of options. It’s a great video, I’d recommend watching it.

Yeah capitalism isn’t interrupt about free markets and competition or investing in yourself. It’s about the ownership class, and the labour class (those that work for the owner class, make all the money and get proportionally none of it). Companies are mini monarchies where you get no say in the policy, the ownership of the company is usually passed on to descendents, you live half your life abiding by the mini monarchy. You vote outside of work, but not at work, work is not democratic. Even so, governments are not mediators between workers and elite, the people that end up in government are of the elite class and have their own interests in mind. We only have our labour rights and aren’t complete slaves today because of very strong socialist movements during and after the great depression and ww2. They compromised with some socialism to avoid complete socialism, but these movements are of course not too frequently mentioned in history lessons

Yeah don’t get me wrong, I despise meta and their facade pretending WhatsApp is private. Your example is evidence but not proof but it does not mean I doubt you because it really doesn’t surprise me. Gmail likes to pretend it’s secure and private too because data in transit is supposedly encrypted but they can still just read absolutely everything in your inbox themselves

There are some great suggestions in there. I’m using proton and I’m still working on changing my email on many services but I’m just forwarding everything for the time being

Every day, the president acts like a stroppy kid

Isn’t it possible to verify WhatsApp encryption with packet sniffing?

I highly appreciate your advice on this. I was reading up on it earlier and what I found was being alarmist about it and I remember from many years ago that it wasn’t supposed to be this tedious but you seem to verify that it kinda is tedious these days. Thanks

I hate how unfree the media is these days. They’re owned by huge conglomerates or in the case of the BBC probably some elite class lobbyists or pressure to favour the elite class, that is, reform l, over the greens.

We don’t even have Szechuan sauce

What did they say about her?

She’s bought and paid for

That’s pretty awesome, I bought an old used laptop, not a gaming laptop to practice and I’m new in the Cybersecurity field so I’m a little behind layman stage of using Linux. I installed Ubuntu on that laptop and it’s been a pleasure to use. I was gonna partition my gaming PC’s main drive and try Linux Mint on it. Even if my Nvidia card might not work out of the box, there’s a whole open source community who make compatible drivers independently. I love the open source community. Bunch of people who do what they love without demanding anything for it, just wow.

No need to fine Facebook or Twitter, they’re perfect as they are

Ah. Of course…

Thank you, appreciate it

At this point it feels like they’re being paid to make people vote for Reform who will then make great use of all the surveillance infrastructure that Labour and Tories have put in place
