these where the first versions of empire that existed on this world and full of equal parts flaws and dumb luck as a result

the modern hybrid euro-colonial versions also have flaws and luck on their side, but, more importantly, they learn and adapt from each other and, as a result, have a pattern that we can now identify.

i bet this is why ice is one of the largest police forces in the world now.

… the working class is still becoming more radicalized.

you mentioned this earlier (and dose of optimism of warranted here); what evidence are you seeing for this?

they’re going to do the same things we did; expect with less success due to the lack of a military like ours.

it’s just fedora and, even then, because of ibm’s acquisition of red hat.

money and american hegemony have tried to enshitify linux many times in the past; but linux keeps on chugging along anyways.

i suspect it’ll be a forever thing

people who “don’t like politics”

you’d think that this kind of altruism would be well received; but sacheen littlefeather proved that even the most bleeding heart liberals do not receive your message well if it contradicts their own understanding of the world.

just like the nike ad.

i’m glad nike gave him the endorsement; he’s going to need the money since no football team or league will ever give him a serious chance at a livelihood for the rest of his life.

i suspect that kapernick would beg to differ how the popularity will pan out.

I’m starting to wonder if all you need to know about a person’s humanity is to ask them how they feel about billionaire.

Budapest opposes EU membership for Ukraine, warning it could escalate tensions with Russia and burden EU taxpayers with decades of military aid.

they’d be smart avoid it since it’s pretty clear that the united states wants europe to spend money on defense to free them up to focus on the middle east and china and; for now atleast; it’s pretty clear that ukraine will be a future proxy war zone between the united states and russia and the europeans would do well to let the united states keep spending its resources on it to keep the united states from starting other wars.
