  Almost all color revolutions tend to be grass roots movement, albeit have soft power influence from outside.

  Contradictory. Soft power with lots of money gets lots of influence. Where any revolution can cause destabilization that favours CIA agenda/control, it will get funded. Opinion that “more trade with EU would be nice” gets funded into protests. Black flag nazi executions of protesters get narrated as Governmnent executions, and the protest frenzy causes a coup.

  In Georgia and Ukraine, or just taking the Ukraine example, Maidan liberalism received no governance representation whatsover inside coup government. Only nationalists who would provoke a war on Russia got power. So there is 0 link between the substance of popular complaints, and the resulting evil of transforming complaints into CIA agenda.

  what is objectively bad with promoting democracy?

  Because calling a US puppet regime democracy, doesn’t actually lead to liberal peace values. As in Ukraine and Georgia, it lead to immediate war for purposes of diminishing Russia. Democracy has turned into “empty branding” for establishment rule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I work long hour and make little money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  you can’t create a healthy democracy by spreading misinformation

  You use this to build a case that Russia is the side with an unhealthy democracy. Categorically, it is 100% misinformation that Russia was not provoked into defending itself as a result of Ukrainian puppet nationalist leadership installed by the US. That we walk around thinking “healthy democracies have sub 40% approval for their rulership” and any country with 80%+ approval can only be a dictatorship is another massive level of misinformation.

  Walking around thinking pure demonic warmongering lies is reality is by far the most destructive misinformation bubble you can possibly support. Sleepwalking through your rulerships’ “healthy democracy” by internalizing their right to supremacism is guaranteeing your submission to their pillaging of country.

  foreign grifters

  I think its far more likely for GOP/MAGA to be buying twitter “engagement” on Fiver, than grifters “launching influencer careers” by directing MAGA fans to their other socials? or spamming affiliate purchase links on twitter?

  A key question/reality check is that instead of treating MAGA fanaticism as foreign agent propaganda, it is GOP propaganda outsourced to cheapest providers.

  There is a lot of foreign support for Trump among foreigners and immigrants (prior to elections anyway). What they all have in common is a hatred for the US, and a deep thirst for trans/woke outrage click bait. While it doesn’t affect foreigners in any good way, “at least he’s doing a great job on the mexican rapist invaders” is only point of approval support remaining. Really, where Trump fanaticism was resurected was purely on anger towards a trans inclusive world order. Every other policy is just brainwashing people who come for the anti-trans circlejerk, but stay for the tax cuts for oligarch climate terrorists.

  Are “business rates” income taxes? If so, it makes no difference to investment decisions. If investment is profitable (after all existing and future expenses including interest on debt deducted) then it is also profitable after taxes.

  There’s propaganda value to “Hitler was quasi-Trans” as same revisionist demonism as “Hitler was a socialist” to revive a (neo) naziism without the baggage of Hitler, that can better serve Zionist first Christofascism in erradicating Islam, humanist governance, and whatever “the woke” needs to mean.

  Beyond privacy rights, is what is the usefulness of the messaging, and could that usefulness be more important to someone/agenda than the moral failures of completely fabricating it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth is way more fucked up than fiction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Conspired with Russians

  Never allow this disinformation to permeate. Epstein was key Israel intelligence/leadership figure. Barak would take orders/suggestions from him to not inform Mossad leadership of his information/tactics. The funding for his honeypot blackmail program came from the circular US aid to Israel to US political interference/domination programs of Israel.

  US oligarchy allying with Zionazi control of US is simply their path to pilfer all of US wealth, because if money equals speech, then money = zionazi+allies control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIU, there were 2 farmer classes in USSR at the time. Collectives getting fixed price for their crops, and Kulak private farmers getting market prices. Famine makes those prices extortionist, and USSR chose to fight extortion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The wikipedia article (holomodor), unless it’s been nazi washed recently, has/had all the points I made even if it’s balanced to “always hate Stalin”. I don’t know what caused Stalin to not repay US debt (explains food exports), but that too would have led to complaints about his handling of famine. Holomodor is a Ukrainian word, and its enthusiastic eastern cooperation with nazi Germany, including administrating extermination camps, colours its history/politics to this day. Still, they had fewer famine deaths than other parts of the USSR.

  Recently, famine/drought in Syria was a great opportunity for the empire and its Al Quaeda and ISIS proxies to rise up and eventually overthrow the long time leader. It is not in demonic evil scum’s nature to assist people’s survival through cooperation with their government, if a narrative gives them more control over the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, in a famine, it is grossly unfair to put all blame on a single leader/government. In USSR’s case, during global famine, the US insisted debt be paid in food, and the government had to react to extortionist farmer class (Kulak) pricing. It is entirely political to create narrative of opponents fault for everything, when they are faced with hard decisions that your country imposed on them.

  In this case, it is especially eggregious to not only force starvation by executive decision in times of relative abundance, but to further provide IRS directives that would collect less (minimum corporate tax rules) from oligarchs, so that budget/revenue is further reduced, and excuse to continue starving people becomes a manufactured crisis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird question. Not clear anything you can do.

  First, AI bubble means datacenter bubble. Nvidida, AMD, TSMC, Chinese equivalents will do fine, as they have options to make products for non datacenter use.

  Scenarios:

  1. No mass corporate uptake for datacenters, or requirement to encrypt upload/download traffic to corporate owned models hosted by datacenters. Amazon/Google/MSFT can win relatively such a race if they allow private encrypted models instead of their own, and can buy distressed assets from failures. It just means slower than announced deployment rates, with only losers those datacenters who get married to losers.

  2. CPU enhanced AI (knowledge graphs) with/or smaller LLMs. Datacenters can still provide corporate users, but mix of regular and gpu datacenters, Datacenters can lose big if next big thing requires replacing hardware, and they were too early. Shift in winners and losers, but not an AI/datacenter bubble.

  3. Few of the announced datacenters are ever built, or 5 year+ delays. Public company investments will go down a little, but nothing catastrophic for big tech, who can make it up in other areas. Power company histeria is an associated bubble that does poorly. This is a very likely scenario.

  4. Datacenters are successful and aggressively built. No AI bubble, because government surveillance revenue is obtained, and heavy government use of LLMs to keep population pro Israel/oligarchy/militarism. A freedom and jobs bubble is not better than an AI bubble.

  Meme stock mania means even the biggest losers can rebound strongly. An everyone else bubble happens whether or not AI datacenters are successful.
