This is not a complex ethical dilemma. The people who build and operate these systems are responsible primarily. The people who fund and elect them also hold some responsibility. That means that government officials, agency employees, military operatives, and the private technology workers are killers. It also means that voters, to the extent that we have democratic systems, also have culpability for the killing.

I can’t wait until all the people outraged about this find out what Israeli soldiers have been doing to actual people.

“Look people, this incredibly bad, self-destructive, unpopular, and poorly planned operation was all my own creation. Don’t you dare hang any responsibility for this disaster on anyone else but me.”

Because nothing is more American than having the government regulate thought.

I’m no longer sure if the above sentiment should be interpreted sarcastically or not.

Just another reason to hate Apple. Maybe I should just plan to pirate the rest of Severance, Silo and Pluribus.

Heathers

After the market closes for the week

Fascist collaboration.

Based on the belligerence and untrustworthiness of the global hegemon (the US) and its client state (Israel), getting nukes is the only rational move for smaller countries like Iran. That is the environment that we have cultivated.

Given how outrageously aggressive Israel is in this region, another nuclear power would be an effective check and probably usher in a new era of peace in the region.

RIP to this genocide-supporting loser’s political career.

I really hope that Iran doesn’t fall for it again. There’s no reason to trust anything that the US agrees to. As a nation, we have zero allegiance to our word. We are an entirely malevolent, two faced actor. If they reach some kind of agreement at this summit, I hope that Iran is just doing it as a stalling mechanism so that they can make strategic moves like actually acquiring nukes.

Does anyone have a more punchable face than vance?

I’m not saying that he’s doing it all himself, but he’s the one deciding to do it. This latest ‘stone age’ threat is all him. You’d think that a machine as large and powerful as our military would require more than one guy’s whim to move into action. BYW, I’m not absolving everyone else of responsibility. Everyone who decides to follow the orders is culpable.

I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?

CBS is no longer a credible news organization. You should immediately second guess, and probably entirely doubt, anything being attributed to them.

Well that’s pretty damn disappointing. I’ll never vote for Porter given her mealy mouthed support for the genocide of the Palestinian people. Fuck her and Warren, who I used to support.

Is this how Ukraine supporters generally think? That it’s good to starve out Cuba?

You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

Got it, thanks. Next time I’ll just refer to them more generally as baby killers.
