boredtortoise,

So there goes the urban legend that Cuba is communist

boredtortoise,

Is it an accusation? Everyone has been talking about it for a while

boredtortoise,

Russia: “we are denazifying the world! …Oh Trump, he’s cool with us”

boredtortoise,

Maybe try: America’s racists are as vile as Europe’s racists are as vile as Asia’s racists are as vile as Africa’s racists are as vile as Oceania’s racists are as vile as… Antarctica’s?

boredtortoise,

And who funds the far right… Those checks are rubles and yuans

boredtortoise,

Putin also doesn’t recognize Zelensky as the leader now that Ukraine hasn’t had the possibility of doing their next election, so it’s a mystery who is Russia’s puppet they’re ready to negotiate with.

There are also upcoming negotiations in Switzerland, which Russia might want to sidetrack with a rearming “truce”

boredtortoise,

Nah, the capitalists just pitted them and migrating people towards tension for a smoke screen while making working class life harder overall. Immigration opposers have been and consistently keep on being wrong with their paranoia.

boredtortoise,

Making a class without agency always leads to crime, it doesn’t matter where they’re from

boredtortoise,

That’s not a huge what if, we already know Russia (and China) have bolstered the far right globally to create the current “culture war” distraction

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' (kyivindependent.com)

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

boredtortoise,

If they’d be true independence aspiring breakaway regions, Russia shouldn’t have a problem with neutrally supervised original population referendums but alas

boredtortoise,

Biden doesn’t do shit fox news

boredtortoise,

Almost all politicians lie but what’s the deal with a certain subsection of them doing the bit so blatantly?

boredtortoise,

Wasn’t shrapnel found with NK markings? Yeah sure that could be planted if we reach far. Meh everything is conspicuous propaganda in these post-truth times

boredtortoise,

Meanwhile some Lemmy users https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/a8bafaae-11ce-49bf-8a16-c6542ad48672.webp

boredtortoise,

That’s true overall.

Although the example is from a notorious agenda pusher, so the chaos is a classic advantage to spread whatever

boredtortoise,

Franz Ferdinand vibes

boredtortoise, (edited )

That is so sad, these kinds of times should already be over in humanity’s history. Why doesn’t anyone have a solution? Are the war mongering powers just waiting for the new nuclear deterrent? Future AI terminators pls just go straight to Russia/China/USA leadership and let the humans be

boredtortoise, (edited )

Historians might look back and see that we now have already been in WW3, Hybrid Warfare / New Generation Warfare has been running rampant for a while between the global superpowers

boredtortoise,

There’s also conscription in places which don’t attack others, because of an attack threat from a neighbor. I just hope that whatever helps humanity forward, goes to the root cause. Imperialist state oligarchs are a good start. And other billionaires

boredtortoise,

To be honest, China allies and helps far right wingers around the world. Capitalists are shaping countries towards China’s model.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants (english.elpais.com)

Europeans view immigration with increasing suspicion. Seven out of 10 Europeans believe that their country takes in too many migrants, according to a survey carried out by BVA Xsight for ARTE Europe Weekly, a project led by the French-German TV channel ARTE GEIE and which EL PAÍS has participated in, as part of the countdown to...

boredtortoise,

It’s just that the austerity cuts on basic living necessities create more instability, for native-born and new members of a society. But that’s probably the purpose, masses are easier to control when they struggle and are helpless

boredtortoise,

Just regular bone factory bones

boredtortoise,

The US center right is Dems. They’re not good at all but definitely milder than their and Europe’s far right.

boredtortoise, (edited )

Mentioned this elsewhere; With the upcoming European trip including Hungary, China keeps finding right wing partners, and unusually often from the ultra/alt/anti-EU reactionary sects. Wonder why they don’t collaborate with left

And after the news about what’s going on in Africa, their imperialism seems to have racial/racist/xenophobic subjucative motives as well

boredtortoise,

Maybe you misunderstood, the relationship and actions with China in Africa seem to have racism

boredtortoise,

EU nations could proactively promote progressive activism in the population of Russia and white hat hacking to disable Russian state cyber & resource infrastructure.

boredtortoise,

I thought it was a rhetorical question

boredtortoise, (edited )

Last paragraph is interesting (emphasis mine)

Helsinki District Court handed Vastaamo’s former CEO Ville Tapio a three-month suspended prison sentence in April last year on a data protection charge because he did not fulfil General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements. This verdict was appealed by both Tapio and the prosecutor, and the appeal hearing will begin in May 2025.

Apparently iirc the company had no security at all. Kivimäki didn’t ‘hack’; the username & password was some default setup. Not to take away from his assholery, but the responsibility for this horrific case doesn’t seem to apply in a justified manner.

Edit here’s more of that from another article

Ville Tapio, the former CEO of Vastaamo, was fired and also prosecuted following the breach. Ransom_man bragged about Vastaamo’s sloppy security, noting the company had used the laughably weak username and password “root/root” to protect sensitive patient records.

Investigators later found Vastaamo had originally been hacked in 2018 and again in 2019. In April 2023, a Finnish court handed down a three-month sentence for Tapio, but that sentence was suspended because he had no previous criminal record.

Tapio should get a prison sentence as well instead of a few months of house arrest / electronic surveillance. Absolutely criminally complicit

boredtortoise,

Sounds like fire

US military ships are working to build a pier for Gaza aid. It's going to cost at least $320 million (apnews.com)

A U.S. Navy ship and several Army vessels involved in an American-led effort to bring more aid into the besieged Gaza Strip are offshore of the enclave and building out a floating platform for the operation that the Pentagon has said will cost at least $320 million....

boredtortoise,

The pier is for the offshore resources Israel and USA want, not aid

Huh. This is their newest discord announcement, just two hours after that IGN article has been updated

Thanks for letting us know that some PS Plus subscribers have been unable to access the free next gen update of Fallout 4 on PlayStation. This issue has now been successfully resolved. Subscribers who have previously received Fallout 4 from the PlayStation Plus Collection should now be able to access the update as intended.

I still see it with a price. Some users have reported that it’s fixed??

Edit: there’s a new menu to add the PS5 version to your library, currently only visible on the console. The PS app and web store don’t have it

boredtortoise,

Sounds like sketch show

boredtortoise,

Apparently this semi-ex-copper carried the weapon during a parliament work day and to a karaoke bar to get shit-faced with. Carrying firearms is not at all common in the cities, outside of hunting in the countryside. A gossip rag was first to publish the information, which is also peculiar, as usually the police inform about gun violence very fast.

boredtortoise, (edited )

Yea, we aren’t allowed to paste full articles in this community and another prompt gave a one paragraph summary with too much left out so

I can edit and update if 6 paragraphs is too much for rule 2 of the community. Mods hmu if that’s the case

boredtortoise,

Oh didn’t see you’re one of the mods. I’m hoping for a usable summary where users don’t need to hop off elsewhere. I’ll prune some paragraphs in a min

Edit: done

US intelligence believes Putin probably didn't order Navalny to be killed, Wall Street Journal reports (www.reuters.com)

Last month, Putin called Navalny's demise "sad" and said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny's allies said such talks had been under way [...] Washington had not absolved the Russian leader of overall responsibility for Navalny's...

boredtortoise,

Yes, exactly. We’ll never see an official order from Putin to off Navalny or a similar one from anyone who was in on the Epstein collusion so a claim like “Trump, Clintons and the British royals didn’t kill Epstein” can be always made

boredtortoise,

It’s insane that it might be possible that Trump is allowed to be a candidate

boredtortoise,

Well actually the antithesis of democracy, but ig many are taught to believe otherwise

boredtortoise, (edited )

The system the USA has is very far from a democracy, and they’re not even attempting to reach alpha, beta or any development of it. Oh actually maybe in some local elections they’re on the alpha level, but we don’t really hear much on how they work in the rest of the world.

boredtortoise,

Maybe China should aid Ukraine. And Palestine and Global South countries being invaded. They could free Tibet, and not attack Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam etc while they’re at it.

boredtortoise,

This has been going on everywhere blatantly and there’s never repercussions. It’s not a surprise that a vote for the far right is a vote for China+Russia

boredtortoise,

China isn’t communist. China, Russia, USA et al integrated fascism as their system and now fight each other for power. This is just one alignment

boredtortoise,

Inspect that bullshit a little if you’d like to be more informed. Fascists are always infighting and even any temporary alliances will be betrayed

boredtortoise,

Fascism can disguise itself as communism but communism can’t exist in fascism

boredtortoise,

Suddenly Seymour

boredtortoise,

It’s very useful to sow their ideology, the targets will have more polarization and Russia can always have an excuse for “denazifying special operations”

China is giving Russia significant support to expand weapons manufacturing as Ukraine war continues, US officials say (www.cnn.com)

China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials....

boredtortoise,

I have no hate, I can’t personally have any agency. It’s the hypocrisy we recognize
