11M views. 11M well-informed Westerners casually parroting this arrogance.

Now I wonder how many of those responsibly-up-to-date Westerners have seen the videos about how weong this one was?

Have a gander at the people behind Brave Software. They’re all cut from the same silicon wafer as everyone else in the Silicon Valley executive biome. And the (lack of) readiness of the information about who is behind Brave is another tell in itself.

I’m pretty sure he’s on a list somewhere, alongside Cyrus Janssen, Li Jingjing, Jerry Grey and Brian Berletic. So if you like his stuff those are some other people to discover if you haven’t done so already!

edit: Oh, also Carl Zha and Danny Haiphong.

Andy Boreham is excellent. I love his stuff. I watch his stuff regularly.

My only criticism of his content, if you can call it criticism, is it’s too clean. The man is impeccably well-groomed and professional to a fault. I don’t share his content with my liberal friends because these qualities that would usually be considered virtues trigger all their preconceptions about what staged propaganda would look like.

I really want to get one, but software-wise I still need access to Google at work. Gonna have to do some research on what switching to Huawei’s AppGallery ecosystem from Google Play Store will actually impact.

Let’s try number of billionaires per capita instead of a flat number of billionaires.

Interestingly enough I went to a lecture by a Chinese lawmaker yesterday who said the exact same thing. When it’s codified in law, you know what they can and can’t do, and what they can and can’t use in court against you. When governments just do it covertly and subvert due process, your right to privacy suffers a lot more. She didn’t have to point out what Snowden uncovered about the NSA for everyone to know what she was referring to.

Yeah same. I was there, and seeing what was happening and what was being reported was a huge WTF experience

I wonder if there’s going to be some sort of culture crisis across The West when reality hits, or if Western media is strong enough to distract everyone with something new like they did with Afghanistan.

the ultimate destination of neoliberal thought, where every employer is an unregulated sovereign into themselves.

Refined it for ya, comrade

I think the fediverse should replace popular socmedia, but it will never be able to compete financially.

We’ve already got Bluesky, which is the same thing but controlled (and sponsored) by the usual suspects, poised to snap up any users that bail from twitter. And popular opinion favours Bluesky thanks to the positive coverage it gets compared to fediverse projects.

The fediverse in the form it’s in now will never replace twitter while the free market controls the distribution of users. They’ll always go to the places controlled by big money.

The British army only needs to be strong enough to perform its two real roles: performative presence to lend ‘international’ credibility to American projects, and suppressing the people of the British Isles.
