So… In this case, Hamas is Russia and Israel is Ukraine. Hamas is the one who started the latest attack.

Woosh

Apparently someone has never watched MASH

Just block lemmy.ml - who cares what the devs think. It’s an open source project.

I mean. This doesn’t seem all that radical nor bad, depending on your political opinions.

Also, comparisons to Trump are ridiculous. Trump is the furthest thing from libertarianism as you can get.

Well… I guess there’s one thing I have in common with Russia.

Before I read the title, I assumed this was another star wars meme. Check out that light saber.

The propaganda is strong. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that people in Russia are still believing things that Putin says.

Soda is bad for you. Have some tea or water.

Or drug money from selling to a foreign country

But that’s not what happens.

Greatest recent example is Elizabeth Warren. She supposedly wasn’t going to bow down to the big banks and wrote legislation to “help” the consumer. All she did was end up writing legislation that the big banks highly approved of, killed off many of the smaller banks and made banking way less competitive so that the consumers are suffering.

But if you get a coalition (example ICANN) to regulate stuff, you’ll get a better mix of both small and large companies.

And we’ve seen too much industry manipulation in government too.

But the big companies turning their platforms into absolute crap isn’t actually a problem for the industry. Other players will rise up (such as lemmy, kbin, mastodon, and other non activity pub sites) and make good platforms.

Regulation should come from the industry not the legislators. Legislators don’t know enough about it anyway and will end up just getting the biggest players to write it anyway.

But if the industry does it, certification would be voluntary and it would be transparent who wrote the regulation. Much easier for smaller players to contribute and shape it.

And the best part is that if it sucks, they don’t have to participate. And then they can try again
