A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So… Yeah. It’s internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry
Posting to wikipedia because it’s the most expedient even though it lacks a lot of the context of how the Indian government has been cracking down on tribal people in Northern India for the past 10 years
western libs are smarter than global consensus, bear in mind. really, what it is, is they’ll say anything so long as the money keeps moving.
the reality is of course that terrorism is any act that is intended to modify public behavior through widespread fear. here’s some examples of terror states:
i’m POSITIVE there’s more, and i’d even be willing to hear arguments that every nation today is either a terror state or subservient to a terror state.
he knows the nfl is stealing the value he creates. he doesn’t need to pay them
signal has been eroding it’s trustworthiness, and all the stuff you said is why myself and most folks keep using it despite its downsides. in a perfect world more of us would be working to make xmpp a viable option for most people but as it stands it’s a touch too technical for the average person’s mom and dad, who are ultimately who you have to appeal to
telegram did something important by being the first mass market “private” messenger that people were aware of. it has outlived this usefulness by nearly five years now. even the things that replaced it at this point are getting run into the ground and require replacing.
how’d you do that?
Legitimately! Early Metallica was all about liberatory politics. Then it turned into center-right american politics. The kinds of dudes who really have hard-ons for how great the status quo is.
Vanguard politics consistently lead to a new different hierarchy that is just as bad as the current hierarchy is my problem. Leninism just sucks. The peers who said he sucked were right. Leninism leads to Stalinism, Maoism, Pol Pot, etc. When people try to scare the shit out of us by acting like socialism is more dangerous than capitalism we have Lenin to blame for thinking anyone could have the strength to wield power without being depraved by it.
Hierarchical societies just don’t work. And I won’t apologize for saying Bolshevism sucks and isn’t even really communism, its just a more weirdly shaped version of colonialism
So. In pornography you’ll have a thumbnail that’s focused on what gets people intrigued to see a model perform, the face. This church is using a thumbnail for their ad that looks SHOCKINGLY like a porn promo thumbnail. Reason being sex sells
Duuuude American mega-churches are PURELY profit oriented
I’d assume a sponsored post on a Lemmy community would just be a pinned post that a mod got money for
Do you have an open community space nearby? Maybe you could grab some crappy instruments from reverb and invite walk-ons to just join in. I’ve been surprised in the past how much people who complain about something end up liking the thing they complain about once invited to join in
I’ve been thinking lately about the industrialization of music. Used to be before the gramophone you’d play music in your house. Sometimes you’d be bad. And everyone was fine with it. We just did it to enjoy it. Sometimes you and your neighbors would go to that one barn everyone was gathering in where the best musicians in town would play. They were your neighbors and friends. But now we don’t know our musicians. We don’t make music. We just consume it. I think we need to reclaim music. I think everyone should download DAWs and just… Fucking… Suck. And share their suck with friends and family. What you produce doesn’t have to be polished, or good, it just needs to be tour own.
OH! Got it! Thank you! I was legitimately just like “is this new lingo I don’t know”
Filly? What does that mean in this context?
And remember kids. Buy your pixel second hand
Mate we’re extremely in debt trying to get Iraq and Iran to bend the knee like all the other countries we’ve imperialized and not only is it not working, it looks like its never going to work. In the 1950s we held 50% of the worlds wealth. Not only will there be a decline in the near future, the decline has been going on for 30 years
as in all authoritarian regimes it depends on how you look and where you are. keep your eyes up and your head high
