Is there precedent for something like this? I’m clearly just a regular dummy but I can’t think of anything similar ever happening in this country. To me, it just seems like a bureaucratic way of strong arming a sale.

I assume the US government wants to force a sale to a US tech company, no? Who would presumably profit from said successful app. Why not just outright ban it here? By kill I just mean make unusable. But you knew that, silly.

Iran might not be invading Israel anytime soon but they sure arent “trending towards peace” like you claim. You’re wrong about this one, and your anger betrays you here. It might shock you to learn that even at your age, you can still learn something, too. At least I know I’m uninformed and look for the truth instead of just spouting off bullshit with nothing to back it up.

Iran literally just sent drones into Israel. You haven’t been paying attention.

If you don’t think Israel “that interesting or important” to the US government, you haven’t been paying attention. full stop. This isn’t about Palestine, its always been about Israel. They send way too much money to us politicians, including the one in the white house, for it to not matter “in the grand scheme”. AIPAC money alone should be enough to convince you.

Why not just kill the app then instead of asking for divestment? Why do they still need it?

The Tik Tok ban is about keeping big tech in the hands of the USA. Are my account stats better for you?

No this post actually is Hamas. Please tell Israel quickly

Capitalism works! It breeds innovation like this! good luck getting non consensual ai porn in your socialist government

Kinda just feels like the subscription model honestly

These MFS think acorns are gunshots. We cannot trust them to tell the truth about what the felt in the moment. It’s a problem whether or not you can sympathize with the officer.

Are you fn insane??!?! You can’t do that!! Someone get in here and do the Democrat shame routine on this man

No but it’s been pretty clear he’s falling in line with the rest of the party.

*Some including the president of the United States.

Always has been

A post on r/latestagecapitalism of a political cartoon mildly criticizing the spending for Ukraine war effort, it was the first time I really actually noticed a botted comment section. I noticed similar accounts clearly astroturfing the post and basically stopped using the platform that day.

The whole reason I found reddit to be useful was the discussion within the posts from real people with real opinions. If that’s no longer the case then I can get the same aggregated content elsewhere. I can’t use the site knowing the discussion is so influenced, at least on some level, in some subs. It’s gross.

Lol I think the pure dialogue scenes in this movie are some of Tarantino’s best work. The opener with Christoph Waltz in the French farmers house has always been one of my favorite bits of cinema.

I definitely went into it thinking it was going to be a lot more of Brad Pitt and co. killing Nazis though, for sure.

The Boston tea party is taught to every single kid in this country, give me a break. We’re a country built on rioting burning and looting.

Property over people. It’s almost cliche at this point to bring it up but here’s a reminder that police in the USA were created primarily to return escaped slaves to their owners, they were a tool of the wealthy and merchant class. It’s protect property and serve capital above all else.

That’s fair, I get what you mean. I guess I just think it’s less lizard people in robes eating adrenochrome and more bureaucracy than anything.
