Biden is at the vanguard of this genocide and Kamala is at his side.

Don't merely witness. Join an organization and work against st this genocide.

MBFC presents itself as "fact check" but it is really just subjective determinations slotted into an inappropriate analysis as judged by a political illiterate. The overall curve of "centrist" sources being high on facts simply reveals their own bias, where they fail to recognize the non-factual components of those sources, the train of think tanks, and whether topics are covered at all, or in certain contexts.

Ironically, the only time I ever see anyone trying to unironically make use of it and cite it is so that they can avoid critically engaging with media. They just say, "this website says it's bad" and turn their brains off, successfully short-circuiting cognitive dissonance.

While it's good to become familiar with the specifics so that you can process the allegations correctly, it boils down to something very simple: the Israeli state and their Zionist backers gladly lie to justify every bit of violence they do to Palestinians. Accuracy does not matter to them, only consent for apartheid, occupation, genocide. When you contradict them in-person they become outraged and start hurling baseless accusations (e.g. antisemitism) for the simple reason that they have no basis other than ethnic supremacy and a desire to punch down, but they know they cannot actually say this.

Treat such people like you would Neo-Nazis. You will not convince them, they don't care about what is true or right, only the elevation of their own status. Instead, you must out-organize them. Join and build organizations that are coherently against the occupation and treat it as an ontological evil like apartheid in South Africa. Do not let yourself be coopted by the people supplying the weapons and diplomatic cover to carry out this racist project.

This article almost exclusively cites untrustworthy sources affiliated with or otherwise funded by Israeli or US state apparatuses. It presents a narrative and zero questioning of its sources' claims.

As a reminder, Israel's allegedly sophisticated penetration and assassination was to (1) do supply chain terrorism on pagers, hitting a huge number of people, including physicians, and (2) use US-supplied bunker busters to destroy swathes of a residential neighborhood, including its inhabitants.

Both acts are the exact opposite of precision or sophistication. They are simply more depraved than most people normally consider acceptable.

If you want people to work from the bottom up to achieve the necessary changes to prevent this country from being genocidal you will rapidly discover that neither the Democratic nor Republican parties can be that vehicle. They are our enemies and work against us, only dithering with cynical PR and pandering to avoid losing without actually needing to deliver on any demands. Unprincipled attempts to enter and change the Democrats on their terms leads to alienation or cooption, e.g. "the squad" supporting Israel or getting destroyes by capital.

Rather than support a genocoder, please do the actual change work. At least then you can see it fail and then do actually useful things against the genocidal empire.

Sure but I've gotta ask: why not write 7 paragraphs of run-on sentences like a true proletarian!?

Capitalists: why should I have to pay for your training? Go into debt so that you're pre-trained. Thanks! And by that I mean submit.

"We can't fight because they might fight back" is a poor political strategy and will guarantee that they fight you while you lose because everyone knows you don't have their backs.

The Dems are incapable of doing that fighting at the moment. Their strategy is to, once in power, begin the excuse-making for why they can't do anything. They are, however, lying to you. They pick someone like Manchin to be the whipping boy and put zero pressure on him, run no party strategy of, "we will get that done because we won't support candidates that fall out of line", i.e. a strategy that actually creates the promised policies over a period of multiple election cycles.

Sometimes this is because the policy is seen as a useful wedge issue for getting votes. More useful to them than actually creating the policy.

Either way, the Democrats will continue to be the party of capitulation and excuse-making while conditions degrade if their grassroots members don't organize to demand change and provide consequences when their demands aren't met. The logic you're currently following is the polar opposite of that and will ensure the status quo downward spiral.

Yes you can. You just change the license that lives with the code.

What it changes depends on the project, how it's used, who uses it, etc. It's really a social question of how people might interact with your project differently.

Yes and it's still a non-functional PR pier.

High drug prices are the result of monopoly capital. There are actually very few pharmaceutical companies. They have dominant control over the industry and careers for relevant STEM majors and applying university research. They charge exorbitant prices through market domination and the US government gladly support this, as it is largely just a proxy for business interests. The temporary monopoly of IP is protected at all costs (it was even used to weaponize COVID vaccine access!).

However, this is not something that will be solved by simply asking politicians to regulate the market. Monopolization is a core outcome of capitalism, it increases the overall volume of profit that a company can make and therefore destroy the competition. And capture of the political system the default, it's an expression of the dominant economic forces. Both parties are capitalist and do the bidding of their business factions, often the same factions at the same time. Expecting a capitalist politician to act against the interests of their donors, their party, and the complicit media apparatus that keeps them in their position is absurd.

Instead, you will only see some PR attempts at the margins, like specifically capping the price of insulin. Access to insulin without impoverishing yourself is of course a dramatically good thing, but it is also a drop in the bucket compared to the overall grift that will remain firmly in place.

A question to ask yourself is: if I cannot reasonably expect capitalist politicians to address this and it's a core feature of the economic system, what should I do instead?
