I hope it’s a start to more governments starting to grow a backbone for standing up to US tech companies

A lot of those methods involve completely ignoring people’s interests or the legal system, the international order, deliberately trying to kneecap institutions that get in your way, filling the government with people of one political view while trying to remove those of the other political views, threats, bribes, and weaponising the justice department. I can see how that worked to get more done but I think even with noble goals thats a pretty expensive cost to get there


This is crazy on its own. Crazier that its before the case for Cook’s removal gets to the Supreme Court. And crazier again because he’s set to be replaced as the head in a few months anyway


I thought cameras on phones were a gimmick. To be fair, they were pretty low quality back then but I still use it to remind myself not to be too overconfident because boy was I wrong.


Your question is confusing because:
Can you put an edit at the bottom of this, something like:
“”" Edit: When I said frontpage, I mean the page that initially loads, the one that shows your subscribed channels or if you have none “All”. “”"


There’s photos here with some interviews and discussions of posts on socials:

I see a downvote here: the victim’s socials are pretty well leaked / commented on so it seems a bit asymmetrical.


Now it’s not cryptic. Until this message I still wasn’t sure this is what you meant


I suspect you mean this, but you’re being cryptic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvalde_school_shooting
Police officers did not breach the classroom, but cordoned off the school grounds, resulting in violent conflicts between police and civilians, including parents, who were attempting to enter the school to rescue children. As a consequence, law enforcement officials in Uvalde were criticized for their response


I haven’t seen his socials leaked yet. Or screen grabs, or other photos of them. Has anyone else?


I see you didn’t mention anything like that. I just assumed a “carrot” to your mentions of “sticks”


🤦♂️ Sorry, I meant communism and wrote capitalism. I’ve probably made larger errors here though so don’t feel the need to respond
But for “pride” I meant a very broad generic doing it for others / prestige / feels good / vision / ideology.


Agreed. But it sounds like you care about the time before these mechanisms occurred and then my argument is that they have similar mechanisms that trace back further than the specific terms you’re using


I think this is a bit like the question at the other end of the scale for desirability: Who gets resources that there is competition for (like prime real-estate)?
I don’t think communism is logically consistent in a pure form to handle it. I think that’s why most governments are a mis-mash with some social support and some capitalism. I think its kind of like that Churchill quote:
Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…


Was any of it capitalism communism? It still reads as being focused on the transition and basically using resources, pride and threats
Edit: Corrected “capitalism” to be “communism” 🤦♂️I probably should just get off the internet for the day


When was this time when they never existed? A state is just a government and last time I checked anthropology pushed that back to family-ish tribes. Classes are basically tiers and you can see related splits in some family units. I think you’re either going back to monkeys, or romanticising


Didn’t Howard Lutnick’s son’s hedge against the tariffs sticking by buying up refund rights? At one point I think they traded at 20-30% of duties paid.
I didn’t see anything written about where it will be going
