That is great news.

Hmm 🤔

Seems I will have to search for alts to Vaultwarden

I self-host my own Forgejo instance, but I still have a GitHub account where I mirror some of my repos to. 😶

Cancel the world cup. Education is way more important than costly distractions.

A terrorist attack is a terrorist attack

Can picture Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro ranting about it 😂

Is S.Korea not an outpost of the USofA?

The Republic of Samsung–an outpost of the USA. Heavy corruption is to be expected.

A Federated Society 🙂‍↕️

Too bad, a majority of the world will rage against such ideas.

And how would this adaptation happen?

Most common and true sentence: If communism/socialism is bound to fail, then why do capitalist states have to sanction and terrorise them?

Ise!

Most actually understand it. They have simply been conditioned by religion, culture, and politics to accept it. We are trained to vie for the zenith and to believe that stepping on others to achieve it is acceptable. Society conditions people so thoroughly that pointing out the wrongs of the elite is quickly dismissed as mere envy.

A friend often remarks when politicians steal from the commons, “If it was us, we would do the same.” That plural pronoun is crucial. The majority project their own moral bankruptcy onto the rest of the species, refusing to accept that not everyone is equally vile. This psychological conditioning keeps them functioning as willing victims who operate under the assumption that they will eventually get their turn to be the oppressors.

I am convinced that the percentage of Humans who truly seek good for all humanity are less than 1% … the real 1 percenters.

The US government is a clear example of ‘Bad’ guys. So is the French and Israeli government–for the Israeli, it is a majority of their population.

Most African governments who act as puppets for the USA, France, UN, IMF, World Bank are clear examples of Bad guys.

You my friend are like Cipher, you see the bad guys, and not only are you afraid of facing them (like most of us are), you are afraid of naming them, afraid of pointing at them.

The introduction of a wage serves primarily to sanitise coercion. When the only alternative to accepting a wage is starvation or homelessness, the concept of a meaningful choice evaporates.

This is a perfect example of the architecture of obedience. By institutionalising exploitation and framing it within the language of contracts and economics, the ruling class successfully rebrands subjugation as voluntary participation. The underlying threat of ruin remains constant, it is just obfuscated by the structural design of the economy.

We are conditioned to recognise overt physical force as tyranny, yet we accept systemic economic violence as the natural order of the world.

I realised this last month. A friend who was publicly in support of the US attack on Iran, was cheering for the suppressed people to win in a movie.

The cognitive dissonance disturbed me.

I have not watched any of the movie you listed man, but I will watch them. But sadly I am now aware of whatever subtle messaging they may hold.

I initially sided with the resistance. It made complete sense to question why a minority capable of bending the elements should be allowed to govern, oppress, and ruin the lives of the non-bending majority.

When the machines were introduced, I realised my core grievance was the misuse of power itself, regardless of its source. Even after Amon was exposed and defeated, I continued to agree with his underlying philosophy. In the Avatar universe, bending is the ultimate form of power, and power inherently corrupts.

Amon’s motivations are highly logical when you examine his past. Having experienced the sheer horror of bloodbending under his father, he projected his own trauma and self-hatred onto the entire bending community. That psychological complexity is exactly why he remains my favourite character in the franchise, second only to Iroh.
