What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?
  • Cash is used to buy most illegal shit. Which doesn't mean we should abolish cash. And if you can't see the risks in governments and corporations tracking every little expense of yours, well you have a very low threat model. But don't assume that anonymous transactions and tools are only useful to criminals, because minorities, journalists and whistleblowers use them every day to avoid prosecution under authoritarian governments.

  • Latin America Again Refuses to Fall In Line With the Collective West on Ukraine, This Time from Brussels
  • Sad. I am with Chile's president on this. His words:

    In this place, the situation in Ukraine has been under discussion. I think it is important that those of us from Latin America say clearly: what is happening in Ukraine is an unacceptable war of imperial aggression where international law is being violated… I understand that the joint declaration is blocked today because some do not want to say that the war is against Ukraine. Dear colleagues, today it is Ukraine, but tomorrow it could be any of us.

    Also, I found the article took a very deliberate stand against the "Collective West". People at Naked Capitalism might not like the collective west (whatever it means) but this doesn't change the fact that the only countries not condemning Russia for its war of aggression are China, various dictatorships scattered here and there and South America, for selfish geopolitical reasons.

    And also, let's stop gaslighting readers about NATO and its expansion to justify Russia's invasion. Countries have all the rights to prepare to defend themselves, and this does not justify their neighbors to attack them on their soil.

  • Who decides what's good? I learned lots of stuff on YouTube and Facebook helped me stay in touch with people I would have never been able to connect with again otherwise.
