Norway is actually a good example of this – where pro-social regulatory policies (i.e. beneficial not from the perspective of capital, but from the perspective of actual societal conditions) are used to help mitigate some of the BS that capitalism produces.

Regardless… Yeah, it’s a problem with capitalism. It’s a problem that stems from the literal core of the ‘system’: utilizing ‘capital’ to find opportunities for the creation and extraction of ‘surplus’ from labor and its products.

It’s great that regulation is able to reign in, in some cases, the deeply criminal BS that such a system naturally produces… But it seems like a huge overreach to assume this is possible “globally” (as it would need to be for a blanket statement like that to be true).

What if its not streaming? What if its just cached for future access, e.g. next time the user opens the app (and network traffic spikes anyways) maybe?

Thats weird, it almost feels like a misalignment between our general needs for computing resource development, and the incentive structures produced by using capitalist economic markets to distribute even basic goods for survival…

Point taken, thanks for taking the time to lay it out.

This feels a bit like Russia gallantly “offering” to “adopt” and “care for” Ukrainian children whose families are unfortunately, inadvertently facing some difficulties currently (e.g. death)…

Hence the impression of “settling” as covering a range of violent and non-violent activities, probably? I thought that there was a range too, until that thought just got the spotlight now lol. Thanks.

Just curious, if some fascists came to your house citing historical claims to your land, how much would you care about the validity of that claim? How about when they burn your house down, kill your family, and arrest you for objecting? I truly, deeply would not give a flying fuck who lived nearby my house 300 years ago.

How many of the “terrorists” (the Islamic ones, not the Judaic ones) were actually from the oppressed populations, though? There are a lottttttt of people in that region that hate the Israeli government…Not sure how many of the displaced peoples you’re telling “this isn’t the right way to avenge violent state oppression” are actually participating in the fighting.

(raises hand) It was me, I did.

Actually, to be fair, because it might matter for future reference. If someone doesn’t “know about” Al Jazeera, but they see this piece and get an impression of journalistic integrity… it tells them almost nothing at all about whether or not they can be “trusted” in other areas of their reporting.

This person shared a simple fact that helps address this for people clearly, and without bias. Because there’s literally no way that this isn’t relevant to their reporting - or what they choose to report on - for literally any issue or area at all.

Doesn’t matter at all if it’s directly relevant to this post or not - and I don’t know international politics well enough to say that it doesn’t matter here, actually, do you?
