I wouldn’t be surprised if labour leader and current prime minister believed in the Zionist dogma that Palestine should be recognized in the sense that Israel should always reserve the “right” to restrict power, water and trade, and enact cruel and unusual collective punishment whenever they see fit

Were they ever asked how this would have any effect on illegal immigration?

Propaganda, even in its original neutrally descriptive sense, is all about intention to persuade or influence people. If you start calling things that weren’t intended to be propaganda, propaganda, then literally all fiction becomes propaganda.

So yeah, if you define everything as propaganda, it sure is

In effect yes, but propaganda has a lot to do with intention, and being Monty Python are brits, it was likely not intentional

The best thing would be to stop using google services but many (most?) banking apps refuse to run on phones without Google’s blessing. It’s fucked up and should be illegal

I don’t know what LibreOffice was like when y’all formed your opinions on it 20 years ago, but right now it’s pretty much perfect

Thanks for the warning!

I’m not trying to convince you either way, but can you point to the ‘political BS’ Proton guy said that made you flip? I use Proton and also veer hard left wherever politics are concerned, and I personally think the whole thing is way overblown. I may have missed something though, happy to hear otherwise, because in my understanding all he did was soft-endorse someone who identifies as republican at the moment

It is my duty to remind everyone, whenever HP is mentioned, that they create biometric apartheid systems for rogue terrorist states

I might not be understanding something about the fediverse, but isn't this like if you couldn't send or receive email from a friend because you use gmail Google decided to block @icloud domains?

Like, you're not forced to follow or interact with it, and are free to block it if you can think of a reason to, I just don't see why such an open platform used to limit users in this way
