multiple explanations of a phenomenon may be true: yes, it's a naked money grab; yes, it's a clear power grab; yes, it's a nazi takeover; yes, it's an autogolpe.

the totalitarian states are always incredibly corrupt; morally, financially, politically – corruption is both the goal and the method.

for one thing, a very quick look confirms that when masnick tells us that the decision talks about “any user-generated content on the internet”, the case is clearly referring to the online marketplace platforms.)

i see that masnick again is playing an expert of the european privacy law; this is always such a good laugh.

All this hate for migrants when nothing transforms a culture more than capital. No amount of immigrants will ever change America, the capitol of capital, more than America transforms immigrants into American businesspeople, citizens of money.

so long, nato. i still think that the twenty-five years without russian invasion was worth it.
December 5, 2025 at 3:54 PM
i fucking wish i was simply a doomer.
(if anyone thinks that gutting nato and killing any american support for ukraine won't be one of the first moves of trump presidency, they're very wrong. trump will want his vengeance, and he will have his vengeance.

and we have to plan for the resulting increased russian aggression in europe.)

if you had any doubts that the united states government willingly vassalized itself to russia in addition to becoming a spearhead for global fascism and white supremacy, they fuckers decided to put everything to paper.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

OTD in 1978 USSR & Afghanistan signed a "friendship treaty". We invaded them a year later.

So you can trust us with a peace deal now.

cool pincer movement if you truly grasp:

AI & any concept relating to it like so-called guardrails are a scam in the deepest sense like a perpetual motion machine or a quija board — and not only a scam like a pyramid scheme which is a possible way to make money if you are first in first out

prophet, i say.
any european country and company that doesn't already plan – and work – on divesting itself from us-based technical infrastructure is tempting fate.

even if the united states somehow don't become a complete authoritarian shitshow, the country is not stable enough for eu to rely on its it services.

(do note that the united states chose to be an enemy of us here in eastern europe, especially an enemy of ukraine.

so let's be clear about it: if you're a billionaire or near-billionaire, and you're offloading your vanity project on the community without providing enough funding for it to go on, it's an equivalent of taking a large steaming shit in the middle of the common grounds.
