@marcoarment at this point with that definition of fascist, you probably can't buy very much anywhere in the centralised financial world. The very money you use is arguably supporting a type of fascism. Let alone the products.

@anolandria I genuinely agreed. It was none of anyone else's business.
Right up until the government started using healthcare funding to pay for it. Then many magnitudes over the line they started targeting children and giving teachers and other state actors the legal powers and protections to hide what they were doing from those children's parents. These were some of the points that it became other peoples business. Another minority used for political purposes.

Cory Doctorow: "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets."

Trump has halted an 80 percent completed wind farm, which would have powered 350,000 homes in New England with clean energy.

That is a 6 billion dollar investment which gave thousands of Americans a job and could have delivered cheap energy, but instead the expensive tech is now left to rust on the ocean, because Trump has a grudge against green energy.

Moral of the story: Don't build in the US under Trump — even if you have a permit, because it is worth nothing.

Londoners tore down the police barrier hiding Banksy’s new mural on the Royal Courts of Justice, showing a judge striking a protester with a gavel. The artwork appeared just two days after nearly 900 pro-Palestine activists were arrested in London.

@eff Starmer in uk has apparently given them access to uk health records. Trump says he's for the people. I think thats bs

@eff this sounds crazy. But was probably an automated search, so maybe not quite as crazy when you think about it that way. I forget sometimes how backwards america is going.
