Re "Israeli evil":

Historically, all genociders copied earlier genociders. Eg, of indigenous North Americans (96%), Australians (~92%), Canadians, tens of millions of Indians by imperial Britain, etc, etc.

& Hitler was very impressed by Jim Crow.

All of us have the capacity for evil, but genociders were trained by other genociders to dehumanise their target populations over decades.

See Miko Peled "It starts in kindergarten":

It means they are evil and we should block them better and ask people stop posting links to it, tell people to get off it.

Get the hell off bluesky, its evil.

Evil is going down. Stop participating.

🇬🇧🚨Leak: Many countries that said NO to in 2024 are now undecided—even though the 2025 plan is even more extreme!
🗳️ The vote is THIS October.
👉 Tell your government to !
Act now: chatcontrol.eu

A map of Europe shows countries color-coded based on their government's stance on "ChatControl." The legend indicates: green for "Opposing/Neutral," blue for "Undecided," and red for "In Favour." Most Western and Southern European countries (including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, and Greece) are in red, indicating they are in favour. Countries like Germany, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and the Netherlands are in green, indicating opposition or neutrality. Several countries, including Finland, Estonia, Belgium, Romania, and Greece, are in blue, indicating they are undecided. The text at the top reads "Help Stop #ChatControl!" and at the bottom, "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu."

Each and every chat application seem subjected to #evil, #dystopian #chatcontrol.
Is there any way to protect our #privacy? Can #FreeAsInDesktop or #selfhosting software be helpful?
In that case which? #matrix? #Jami? Something else?

Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE

Granting that the banality of evil, as an explanation, has itself become banal, it was hard to know what else to make of all this. The US is filled with “pretty nice guys” who are ready to inflict, who have already inflicted, senseless and life-shattering violence on innocent, impoverished people…

Good God. Destroying the Constitution and the rule of law with the compliance of denuded legislatures and courts is not a "winning streak." It is fascism. #BrokenTimes.

Sir #TrumpVirus called it (exact quote),

"The single most popular bill ever signed"

Even given his #BrainSpurs & long history of #doublespeak and flat-out lies,
this seems like a wee bit of.... BS!

Having our healthcare, education, environment, rights, consumer protections, aid to the elderly, ill, and childcare/nutrition ripped away, is "popular"?

He's so smart. More like #evil.
With a #cult of #GQP sychophants who have given the Devil his due, and We the People, nothing.
