I swear the EU and US aren't taking it seriously - or Russia has managed to influence such a significant portion of the population that they could vote in a government beholden to the Russians.
Instead of providing ammo to the Ukrainians, they are giving it to Israel, that wants to commit genocide.
I don't understand how the rest of Europe is still debating support for Ukraine. Are they trying not to offend Russia or something? They should be arming Ukraine to the teeth and providing them with so much ammo that Russia has the relative strength of Gaza in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Hello Fediverse. I'm posting this tonight from my federated Flipboard profile! We're now testing our #ActivityPub integration starting with my account.

Just more proof that the religion is fake: it only mentions things in a certain location because that's where its authors were. They couldn't have conceived of a place IRL where the sun never sets.

What acts of terrorism have the alphabet mafia committed? Claiming the rainbow was a step too far? Did Putin always want to sleep in colorful bedsheets, but now he's afraid of being called a faggot by his generals?
While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Basically, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and host of other American companies collect a lot of information about citizens. So much in fact that the US government decided it was good to have access to it. That, and many other things, were revealed by Snowden and other patriots.
The information has been sold to insurance companies to modify their premium for certain groups of the population. It is used to profile minorities, track activists, intimidate political opponents, fund wars abroad, and so much more. It even affects how people vote, which means that companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter have tangible influence on elections.
When the Nazis invaded countries, they used the information gathered by governments to find the Jews, and we know what happened afterwards. It was Jews then, but what if you happen to be the group targeted in the next upheaval?
Google (and companies like it), also like to use their power to snuff out competition which slows down innovation.
Black and white
The world isn't black and white. Google does amazing things, good things, but it also does many bad things. For those who care, the bad things outweigh the good. It's like drug cartels in Brazil, Colombia, and other countries: they build schools, enforce their own laws, invest in infrastructure, have political candidates, and sometimes even a form of democracy, but in the background, they violently murder rivals, fight fierce battles with law enforcement, assassinate political opponents, facilitate addiction, employ children and teens, and so much more.
If you didn't know about the bad things drug cartels do, would you support them and love them like you do Google?
