Politics has become middle management for technocracy, and platforms turn the individual into both product and producer on their digital fiefdoms, feeding us whatever gets engagement to keep us hooked, with truth and accuracy being thrown in the waste bin.

Society has been hollowed out over decades, democracy reduced to performance, and solidarity was replaced by self-interest. We were sold the lie of meritocracy and the cult of individualism, and this is the end result.

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome
think this is sort of interesting as actually.....no you probably didn't need to do "more research" into it? you just had to trust the state and local authorities to know better than you when it came to vaccinating your child? not good that the internet has killed faith in institutions!

The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

Chaos is part of the plan. Russia wages wars not just to expand, but to create global instability, so it can justify more violence and help totalitarian regimes rise.
💬 "It has been exactly 100 days since Russia has been rejecting this basic first step toward peace. 100 days of Russian manipulations and missed opportunities to end the war," says Ukraine's FM Sybiha.
100 Days Since Ukraine Accepted US Peace Plan—Russia Still Rejects Ceasefire
After 100 days of Moscow's rejection of a US-led ceasefire, Ukraine calls for increased support and sanctions to pressure Russia into peace negotiations.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
Escalating to escalate.

Essentially, Trump is giving Russia a green light to continue killing civilians—because that’s how Russia wages war. By doing so, the U.S. government is complicit in legitimizing this terror.
It also seems that Putin is using Trump as a propaganda channel to spread his narrative.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.
1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously.
2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

i need a smart person who isn't a pod caster to explain the long term implications of FPV drones that cost a couple hundred dollars being used to torch three hundred million dollar bombers. again please no pod casters are invited to comment

Today, Russia launched a ballistic missile at Kryvyi Rih, killing at least six children.
It is a daily terror. The pain is relentless. The impunity with which these crimes are committed is unacceptable.
We must demand accountability.
We must not normalize evil — wherever it commits war crimes.
