Oh oops, you haven't pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution... Unlucky

This article is not about the US (for once).

I don't know whether it ever was, but it definitely got co-opted by racists as a slur in the UK. A pretty bad one too, I gather. Whether it's been reclaimed, I couldn't say. Personally, I'd steer very well clear of it.

Dude, they did MATHS, that's science™.

Gag orders can forbid people from publicly discussing a case or aspects of it.

Fuck off with your false dichotomy bullshit.

Fuck that. Banksy wrote:

Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

The longer quote is here.

That's not the point of the comparison. The point of similarity is that it was a significant blow that struck without the defenders anticipating it.

I just read it. Which part exactly (please quote) do you think supports what you claimed?

Here's the link to the definition, which includes some examples: What is antisemitism? About the IHRA non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism

I'll make it even easier. Here is the full text of the definition:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

I think we can still point out israeli war crimes without being called antisemitic under that definition.

Petty corruption is pretty decently under control (you can't bribe a police officer if they pull you over), but institutional corruption, politicians amd their buddies, that had a field day with COVID measures and is very much alive and kicking.

See this example of "legal" affairs that stink of corruption. A lot of land was force-bought to make way for a new high-speed line to be laid. Huge overruns later, the line has been chopped short, it will no longer run across certain tracts of land. So a tonne of land that was appropriated from citizens is now going to be sold off. I feel sure the price on those sales will be below market value and it will be sold to their buddies.

Or Nick Clegg, the former deputy Prime Minister who, when he left government, went into a veeery cushy job at Meta.
