“Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords. ‘I think the public will miss us,’ the Earl of Devon said. He added: ‘We should be proud to sit here as embodiments of the hereditary principle dating back a millennium.’” You do wonder sometimes what planet the rich and privileged are on. #HouseOfLords #Privilege

"Wir sind jetzt Flüchtlinge."

Nein, seid Ihr nicht. Ihr seid immer noch scheißprivilegiert und habt die Probleme, die privilegierte Menschen haben.

Gestrandete Touristen in Dubai: „Wir sind jetzt Flüchtlinge“

Dubai galt vielen als sichere Anlaufstelle im stets brodelnden Nahen Osten. Nun heulen hier die Sirenen, und Touristen wie Reiner und Sandra Gunzmann wollen nur noch weg. Nur, wie? Zwischen Hotellobby und Hilflosigkeit.

I had "privilege" and I didn't like it.

#Social #Privilege

Alors, non, le #feminisme ne signifie pas défendre LES femmes, ni tout ce qu'elles disent. Sinon, on serait obligée de défendre les militantes de #Nemesis et leur #femonationalisme , qui consiste à jeter sous le bus toutes les autres #minorités de pouvoir, notamment les femmes précaires, non-blanches, #racisées, mais aussi simplement tout ce qui n'est pas un homme blanc, cis-hétéro et riche, dans l'espoir de pouvoir préserver quelques miettes de #privilège raciste et classiste.

Under this system, access to the global internet is no longer a default for #citizens, but instead a #privilege granted based on #loyalty and professional necessity. The implementation includes such things as “white SIM cards“: special mobile lines issued to government officials, security forces, and approved journalists that bypass the state’s filtering apparatus entirely."

Why Tehran’s Two-Tiered Internet Is So Dangerous - Schneier on Security

Iran is slowly emerging from the most severe communications blackout in its history and one of the longest in the world. Triggered as part of January’s government crackdown against citizen protests nationwide, the regime implemented an internet shutdown that transcends the standard definition of internet censorship. This was not merely blocking social media or foreign websites; it was a total communications shutdown. Unlike previous Iranian internet shutdowns where Iran’s domestic intranet—the National Information Network (NIN)—remained functional to keep the banking and administrative sectors running, the 2026 blackout ...
