  • Reading about the predicted terrible human cost of the loss of aid across the world does make me wonder if this was a possible hidden motivation for its creation. Presented as altruism it nevertheless went some way to make countries and groups dependent upon it, thereby creating a tool for local destabilisation as needed. Trump is not using it in this way, his rationale is worse even than the one I have suggested.

  • That is a particularly warmongering question, if he says yes he commits to war with China over an issue they regard as domestic and so possibly inflames the situation and if he says no it categorically removes a limiting factor on China and so encourages invasion. Either way it is seeking to create news by endangering the lives of people.

  • I believe if you logged directly into Lemmy without routing through Tor then their servers would log your IP address. With sufficient cause your ISP could be forced to provide your name and address but the reason would need to be very good, most obviously involving immediate endangerment of life. But times are changing and the reasons to make such inquiries might change too.

  • All of this in the open, with the world watching. Building camps at home and removing rights. Sinking further and further into shame, with all the talk of bravery and freedom in the national anthem and when the time comes there is only total and instant capitulation. The US will never regain its position in the world.

  • The original point I was making is that the use of the word 'addiction' was incorrect, firstly it throws the blame back onto the Mexicans which is a misdirection and secondly it makes the idea absurd by the comparison of the ill effects of Coca Cola with those of truly addictive hard drugs like heroin, thereby minimising the problem.

  • Billionaires do not have any special talents, perhaps beyond a coldness of spirit and lack of empathy so that their population is determined by the current holding capacity of the socio-economic and political world they find themselves in. What I mean to say by this is if you cause a particular billionaire to live an additional hundred years the result is not an increase in the net number of billionaires but rather their revised individual longevity simply limits other sociopaths from assuming billionaire status. Now you likely do not personally know any billionaires so whether they are constantly reshuffled by a natural lifespan or its the same set of long lived fuckers actually makes no odds to you. You do however very likely know people within a fifty meter radius of you, family and friends. Your life will be greatly enriched by the resurrection of such people and for the reasons I have stated not overly harmed by Nosferatuing a few mega-rich.
