  • It’s twofold, oppressors want to scare anyone from making public statements about the genocide and want to show they have the power to do so no matter the venue.

    And it’s also different in that this is a massive tour with a massive audience throughout all of the US where they are actively trying to shut down any talk about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians that the US supports.




  • While Antisemitism exists and it’s real. It’s not the biggest problem in the world or the largest form of oppression/xenophobia/racism that exists today, not by a long shot based on every statistic available.

    But according to the ADL et al., their definition of antisemitism (IHRA) is the only issue and the entire world and it’s citizens needs to shut up about everything else or face the consequences.

    People hate her because misogyny and ableism.

    I kind of disagree

    It’s become a huge story because of the support and empathy that she’s getting, while the other cases of infanticide don’t receive attention or support (and rightfully so).

    Still doesn’t make the choice for babysitter any easier





  • I’m a bit confused with your own words

    People who are security-minded for the most part just want a device to handle daily tasks, etc. Not all the bells whistles of an expensive high-end phone.

    Buying a used and old Pixel (as old as 7) will be an option for many years since GOS will continue to support.

    My confusion is that you argue against flagship phone (and we’ll have to see how true the assumption is on cost and if it will even be flagship) while also saying that people won’t buy it anyways because they prefer the cheaper older used phones.

    Edit: I do want to add, I’m not sure why people assume it will be only on a flagship model. Most forums mention that GOS would be applicable to 3 models: the Signature, Razr Fold and Razr Ultra models (all with varying costs and some comparable to the newest Pixel).


  • How would money be involved?

    It’s not like GOS is in a position to force device manufacturers to open the bootloader and have strengthened hardware, let alone make phone prices accessible. The best they can do is kindly ask a manufacturer to do so and hope that they agree (which Motorola have technology-wise).

    And if it’s a money issue for people, then buying the newest pixel phone is still not cheap (~1k+). And most privacy advocates recommend buying the phone used and with cash so it’s not associated with your bank details.





  • Now that Spain’s Socialist President, Pedro Sánchez, has adopted the rhetoric of decolonization, Mohammed VI should revive the spirit of the Green March to carry out the definitive expulsion of Spanish settlers from Moroccan territory […] Sánchez should do the right thing: live up to his anti-colonial rhetoric and put an end to the Spanish occupation in Africa,” wrote the author, Michael Rubin.

    Spain’s “decolonization” rhetoric was actually anti imperialism while acknowledging Spain’s colonial past and at the same time taking aim at the US and Israel. So does Mikey agree that Israel is colonizing? These think tanks do anything but think.



  • Sale of land is more of a founding myth to legitimize it as something transactional or legal. It was under British mandate so effectively a colonial administration and therefore rubber-stamped by Britain.

    Evidence also exists that Britain forged land deeds and sold off the land that wasn’t held by anyone locally or communally held. Also it wasn’t to private individuals but to the Jewish National Fund (publicly backed by the Rothschild family) which is similar to the East India Company.

    Early Zionist institutions consciously modeled themselves on chartered colonial companies like the British South Africa Company or Hudson Bay company.

    Most of the land was “acquired” when the Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba and the newly Israel made a convenient “absentee” law for land ownership.
