Shhh, the EU actually wants mass surveillance.

They're being pragmatic, they actually want to get paid, and they don't want the US to have to pay for all of these weapons and other material. Not everyone you disagree with is a Russian asset, no matter how hard that narrative is pushed.

All of the "aid" the US has sent to Ukraine has been on credit, a 21st Century lend-lease. The original 20th century lend-lease was a roaring success in terms of subjugating the British empire, and it's also worth noting that a lot of US representatives of that era were very hesitant to approve the "care packages" in the first place as well. The debt Britain owes the US from WWII has actually never been repaid, but the US got global hegemony out of the deal so they agreed to look the other way.

Ukraine however has no ability to pay off the debt they have already racked up, let alone more. Not just because they've lost militarily but also because anything remotely productive in the country (primary farmland and factories) has been parceled off to the highest (US based) bidder, destroyed via the war, or can't be productive in the foreseeable due to the loss of working people to emigration and war.

You mean to say it doesn't?

The prededent for this was already set in the 70s and we can only assume it's standard practice now, especially in the age of 5 Eyes and Counting.

Not surprising, the EU is at its core an imperialist project.

The negative effects of EU regulations on the global south as well as its own internal periphery aren't discussed enough.

This book is beautiful! Thanks for the hard work cleaning up the epub!

This is not objectively an event that has happened. It's not news. It's made up atrocity propaganda, trying to get westerners to consent to the genocide of Palestinians.

Maybe look into the history of this territory before you speak.

Israel - like any right wing movement - has a vested interest in ensuring that terror continues. Fear is the only way they can possibly stay in power.

Oh no, everyone has a home and real estate speculation is all but banned. Cry me some more crocodile tears Wall Street.

I'm not sure I'd say it's the same. The US bails out the revered private corporation. Moodys is one hundred percent on board with that.

With SOEs and governments there's no major shareholders who stand to win, so there's no reason for a bailout by their logic.

Yeah, I got called an idiot for pointing out that connection here a few weeks ago.

They're measuring installed capacity, not actually generated power. Given the very low output vs theoretical maximum capacity of renewables this translates to something closer to 15% generated power, including hydroelectric.

They did it in the 40s, 50s, 60s, etc... No reason to think they've stopped.

Not only that, they provoked it in the first place.

I'm not so sure that it's completely worthless. Maybe a third to half of the signees could purchase reactors from Chinese firms.

Even if it's as simple as choosing which Root CA's we want to trust, how many people will know to do that and be able to do that? A couple percent at most.

Of course we need full ownership of our devices, and trusted computing has always referred to the trust of for-profit corporations, but this in itself doesn't help the vast majority of people who either don't know that they're compromised, think they have nothing to hide, are unable to do anything about it, or a mix of all three.

Privacy and security are already a privilege. Proposals like eIDAS only make it even more unaccessible.

Watch the opposite happen.
