Trump vows the “largest deportation in American history" of minorities if elected

Which group is undesirable?

That’s not how fascism works. It’s whoever they want whenever they want

First, brown folks

Then? It’s the Muslims, they gotta go—they’re why the economy is bad

Then? Those gays. It’s why your kids are all gay—they gotta go

Then who knows

All while some minority groups in swing states are throwing a tantrum saying they won’t vote for Biden. Ruining us head-first into fascism.

Doom literally runs on anything.

Including human cells.

No, not a simulation of human cells. Literal human cells. On a microscopic level, your body can now run Doom.

I’m not sure my body is ready for this 😳

Facebook has certainly become a dumpster of #ai generated ”science” groups that are just honeypots for tinfoil sites.

However, these operators fool the algorithm into thinking it’s important precisely by putting on the front lies that the science-minded will want to correct, but enough will support because it fits their confirmation bias. This promotes a fight.

It’s like an industry repeating the pattern of antivaxx groups in mid 2010’s. 🤦‍♂️

Well worth a read: As our interconnectivity profilates and technological provess multiplies, so does belief in #magic.

It’s not just new-age hippies & faith-healers anymore, it’s silicon valley #postrationalism and #effectivealtruism going along with the #manifesting & #occult, up to even rooting for Julius Evola’s fascist magic & #traditionalism (a favourite of Russia’s Aleksandr Dugin)

Sure, if you know it’s just self-hypnosis. But record shows that slips away easy😓

Every day #nafo #fellas be donating!

To purchase mind-control drones that turn innocent russian children currently living in Ukraine into homosexuals.

They can also be used as FPV drones to help direct artillery fire (every shell counts!)

But actually, they are mind-control drones.

Now close to 17 palestinians are dead for every Israeli casualty on Oct 7th.

I just have to remind about what that says about the value of human life vs their origin.

Hungary’s Viktor #Orban is a very typical illiberal strongman leader.

When you rule long enough, you come to believe your power reaches farther and stronger than it actually does.

Orban seems to think he can negociate and hold Russia back, while benefitting personally from appearing to be #Putin’s best friend.

Of course, he may be ready to sell his entire country to Russia.. Or he’s just stupid, like all of them turn out after being surrounded by yes-men long enough.

A core aim of Russian-style #misinformation, aka ”flooding the zone with shit” is to also create cynicism.

When everything is subject and nothing is true, people slowly start thinking that whatever they do, it will be corrupted and won’t matter anyway.

So they stop doing anything, political talk moves ”to the kitchen” as they say.

So they keep telling how #ukraine is corrupt, and more & more people in US think it’s a smart move to avoid assistance from lining up politician’s pockets there.

Hah hah! 😄

Putin’s stooge Orban (Hungary) agrees to peacefully leave the room, as rest of EU decides to go ahead with Ukraine membership negociations without him.

I’m very happy that the EU is growing some serious balls, because I certainly had enough with this mad clown who thinks he can deal with Putin and not get burnt!

I’m not anti-immigrant, but I’m pro-Ukraine.

Is support for perhaps the most important battle western civilisation has faced in decades really on equal terms with building a wall?

The thing is, if #Ukraine loses, the #western #alliance will have forfeited the #trust that those yearning democracy, equal rights & freedom from tyranny have placed in it.

If the west loses trust, there goes our push for anti-racism too. If the global south chooses Russian & Chinese style, it won’t matter a damn.

Helsingin Sanomat:

Russian Telegram channels shifting blame of #Moscow #terrorist attack to Ukraine. Putin says: ”whoever did it”, even if ISIS already claimed responsibility publicly.

Ruskij standart.

With somewhere around half of the Russian population ready to believe Ukraine is behind all the evil in the world, confirmation bias takes care of the rest.

My guess: They knew the attack by ISIS was coming, they let it happen, and got ready to blame it on Ukraine.

I like to work on 1-minute videos, promoting the new releases of the record label I co-founded.

I try to take two days making each. 1 day I #code some #shaders for the special fx, 1 day I spend in #editing the #video.

Graphics are usually from the cover #artist.

This time the theme was #offroad vehicles. Which is great, because #suomisaundi music is all about being honestly back-water, not trying to be fancy.

So here we go, psychedelic rally & motorsports, far out! 😊

The #israel far right are completely crazy: If Netanyahu and his pundits think this level of carnage in #gaza would not make millions of people consider picking up arms in revenge, they are mad.

So many people who have lost everything? You know what that makes? Soldiers with nothing to lose. Suicide bombers.

They think they will weaken Iran? No, they are strenghtening Iran. It’s network of Jihadis will be even bigger after this. And now they will be armed by #Russia.

Czech mahazine Reflex came up with this design for the Olympic uniform for #russian and #belarussian #athletes.

Drop that rhetoric of ”fairness”. Killing is killing. Occupation is occupation. It’s illegal it has to end. There can be no one family united under sports, when one is killing for territory.

Charlie Munger’s advice the to corporate world: ”Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome” is not just empty words but applicable to society in general.

As we see incentives slowly becoming more toxic, also the world becomes more so.

The free market is especially effective at optimising based on incentives. There will always be someone who delivers for a price..

This is why when the main #incentives become money itself, we have to be on our toes:

It’s a runaway feedback loop!

I’m very pleased to see leader of #Hamas being so strongly grilled on prime-time #Arabic #tv.

The leader’s statement of not killing civilians on purpose is in clear contrast to what actually happened.

As a supporter of Palestinian liberation, I don’t think Hamas is the vessel towards that goal. And my hope is the Arab world will finally wake up to that conclusion too.

We in the west should condemn killing of civilians. Also from Hamas. It is not legimate resistance.

With #Elon #Musk we totally failed at: ”If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t.”

Now. A lot of people will want to credit him for ”amazing stuff” because they used to back him earlier. But there were red flags much earlier, and his manipulative/narcissistic behaviour has been constant throughout his career.

Most of us bought into him cosplaying a sensitive nerd. I know I did, and then cheered for the team.

But that’s what narcissists do, they play u

This could be the most important #podcast you listen to this year. Seriously! 🙏

#Taiwan is under constant #cyberattack and #misinformation #campaign from China.

Yet, Taiwan managed to hold fair and democratic elections and their people didn’t fall for the traps set by China, and the threats of their jets and missiles flying over the island.

How do they do it?

A picture says more than a thousand words.

A regular Israeli citizen may not be out for #genocide of #palestinians, but they sure are making an effort to look the other way.

That’s the story of most tyrants rising to power in modern days. The willingness of people to look away is key to enabling them.

People on the #left: Don’t be fooled by right-wing claims that #unions & #strikes are ”anti-market”. On the contrary, they exist precisely because big business is anti-market.

In a #market #economy, everyone sets their price. A market that offers better working conditions for skilled workers, moves workers where they are happier.

But in a #monopoly, there is no option. For a worker bound to a location (due to family etc), the local factory is a de-facto monopoly.

Pro-market vs pro-business.
