The whataboutism going on on a single direction is easily explainable.
If we live in a “western country” criticism of surveillance in our country is our focus. If you mention surveillance in China. Still surveillance in our country is our focus. As in “we live here, why are you focusing there”.
How do you differentiate whataboutism from highlighting the antichinese hypocrisy?
Us a surveillance state good? No. Is a commercial surveillance society good? Also no.
Is targeting minorities for dedication good? Not from my perspective.
Is targeting minorities for incarceration keeping said minority poorer? Also not from my perspective.
It’s not whataboutism is that many people forget they are living in a distopian society with out realizing it.
More, if you read between the lines.
So, you really think that a new CEO will act any differently? No lives were saved. The problem is the system. Not an individual CEO.
“Misterious”?. In that same line of thought, there have been some misterious décapitations of cartel members in northern mexico.
“CCTV footage has been misconstrued.”
Don’t believe your eyes or the woman! Say the rapists.
“I was doing an alcohol test with my fine tongue while my hands were looking for drugs or weapons. I was multitasking!”
I mean, their lawyer can argue all they want. If there is video, it will have to be heavy law contortionism.
Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don’t like as antifa so you can prosecute them.
It’s ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice pot with warm water on top of a stove.
This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting “the wolf is there!!” While the main character remains oblivious.
Starlink needs regulatory permission in every county they provide signal to.
People shouldn’t wait to get to that point when all the historical signs point in that direction.
I think you are being victim of the boiling frog effect.
Do you want to be pedantic and wait until the mass graves are discovered years after thebfact? Or do you see the escalating signs that they are going exactly in that direction?
Right now they are already disappearing people. They are already following the totalitarian regime playbook and history has shown exactly where it leads to.
By the way, remove the wool over your eyes, it’s not like the US doesn’t know the totalitarian regime playbook. They’ve used it many times in other countries to install puppet governments. The only difference is that they are doing it now at home.
Honestly, using the cloud to “right provision” can save a company money or at least give them great flexibility.
The problem? Companies over provision in the cloud and most of that goes unused.
When it’s cheap and easy to spin a new instance under load but later no one cares about doing capacity analysis, you end up paying for way more than you need. That’s where the money goes.
Let’s start a conspiracy theory. Although these days everything can be true:
It was heroine but someone in the police department syphoned the heroine, replaced with water and agreed with the defendant that they’ll get a slap on the wrist if they followed along.
So, now, someone has some heroine on sale!
Yes, but they only sell in packages of 6. So, who needs 120 Megatrons? In the long run it’s better to buy just what you need or you end up nuking cities you didn’t want to nuke originally.
The reason why Maduro is in power is the US. Plain and simple.
Hadn’t the US propped puppet right wing governments in Venezuela, there wouldn’t have been a need for a Chavez mesias.
The US doesn’t care about drugs. They care about Venezuelan oil and continue tal hegemony. That’s it.
So, it’s not only Trump. It’s every single government before him.
Show of hands: who expected high ethical standards by Nestle’s CEOs?
Yep, we don’t get to study the Nanjing masacre, for example unless we go out of our way to learn about it.
We know totalitarian aren’t above starving their own people. History has many examples.
