The 'Nordic' countries have been active participants in every single US war since the 1990s. They have no business getting any nuke.


Even if there is exaggeration or inaccuracy in the reporting, the repression happening in Iran is certainly real and not a complete fabrication.

That's exactly what a lot of people said in 2003. Angloamerican propaganda does character assassination by reporting with double standards to demonize a target. After 5 to 10 years, those who feed on it are ripe for believing any 'bad deed' could have been done by Angloamerica's enemy because 'it is evil'.

Meanwhile, the US is censoring TikTok on behalf of a genocidal settler-colonial regime because its genocidal president asked for it in 2025. And that very US is the source of all these 'truths'.


"It's fine if we lie because we're the good guys"

Try any query related to Gaza genocide.

> House of Lords amendments do not have to be accepted by the House of Commons and may not make it into law

Except the Lords can send back a law indefinitely until the Commons accepts it. There have been cases in which laws were sent back 60 times until what the Lords wanted was added. A house with hereditary posts with infinite veto power.

The UK is not democracy. It never was.


After enforcing age verification to prevent children from viewing those pesky Gaza genocide videos that Israel did not want them to see, they gotta ensure that those brats wont be able to get around it and still see the videos.

Its amazing how this censorship was brought on rapidly and precisely after Netanyahu demanded it at the start of last year. No surprise as half of Starmer government was funded by zionists.


I really don't think governments need a kick in the tail from a foreign power to try to grab more power. It's just what they do by nature.

Not sure what you're going on about. I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos. Is that something you watched a lot of as a child?

The thing is, it's not really children who lose access to this sort of content, it's the user who doesn't want to give Reddit or Twitter or whoever else a copy of their driving licence. Without age verification, they don't see the truth of something like Gaza, because it's ages restricted. They can however view the other, sanitised version of the story.

Precisely this. OP could have been more effective in their message by avoiding the sarcasm. The end game is censorship, not protecting children or whatever.

Yes, however the zionist lobies are openly saying that the target for propaganda should be children.

> I don't think children should be watching any genocide videos.

Not watching any genocide videos means not seeing anything related to the genocide either. And that provides the basis for propaganda to make the genocide disappear, or turn it around by inventing realities. That was how the Iraqi WMDs were made happen.

This is happening for no apparent reason, other than Netanyahu personally requesting it at the start of 2025.


> While these events are statistically very rare

These events happening 4 times in 3 days are statistically nonexistent. Even less existent is them starting to happen right on the day before a major politician in Spain visits Israel to talk about buying Israeli security and monitoring systems.


~4 'derailing' accidents within 3 days, starting right before the president of the province of Madrid visits Israel to talk about buying Israeli security monitoring systems. Coincidence indeed.

Great way to keep them away from 'undesirable' content until they can get brainwashed by corporate media and the education system.

Give him a break. Most of his speech was akin to reading directly from Das Kapital. Finally one person among the US elite had the courage to openly call out the elephant in the room that is staring at everyone's faces.

> But what about future tasks?

There wont be as many. The previous automation waves since the late 1800s have optimized or automated away a lot of tasks humans used to do, while what human beings do and need have not increased at the same pace. Today, we arent using flying cars or cyberpunk technologies that require a whole industry chain in which millions of people can participate, like how it was depicted in sci fi movies for example. Whatever scarce new thing that came to being, was consolidated in the hands of megacorps and automated to max extent to reduce workforce. Since the 1970s we automated away almost all the workforce in factories - what used to require ~2000-3000 people in a factory to produce now requires ~100 people using extremely efficient automated systems. Only white collar work remained, and now the AI is automating away the white collars too, who were the last remaining holdout that helped infuse the economy with cash through their salaries.

Blackrock CEO's surprising speech at Davos is spot on and what Marx said 150 years ago. It just happened, in front of our eyes, in our lifetime: Capitalism literally choked itself by automating production, firing workers and ending up with an economy that has products, but no one with the money to buy them.
