in reply to errer

Coming from my perspective a little. Iran is a part of BRICS now and Lula has defended Iran in latest interviews. Let's see how things develop and if Iran representatives will come to Rio (for the BRICS Summit). This is troubling.
in reply to errer

So... Once Iranian government falls. Who's going to prevent the terrorists from going into Iran spread there?
The new government is probably too weak, Israel probably don't care anymore and will focus on clearing off Palestine.
So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.

I wouldn’t take that as a given.

So the US probably got handed off this hot potato because, if no western countries is doing it, China or Russia will come in and cause chaos later.


Is this a joke? Western imperialist states entering would create chaos, while China and/or Russia entering would be stabilizing. Iran, China, and Russia are major BRICS partners, and have shared regional security interests.

Who do you think organizes, funds, trains, and equips the various groups of Salafi jihadist terrorist groups that wreak havoc in Western and Central Asia? The United States, with some assistance from Israel and probably the UK. The US has wanted regime change in Iran ever since the puppet regime they installed in the US-orchestrated 1953 coup was overthrown in the 1978 revolution. The US has wanted to regain its imperialist control of Iran for the last 47 years.


Edit to add a primer: The blueprint of regime change operations How regime change happens in the 21st century with your consent

[H]ere’s the step-by-step process summarized:
1. A strategic country is selected as a target.
2. Stories start being fed to the media about human rights abuses or just concerning developments (lack of democracy, dwindling economy, etc).
3. To help lay the basis, the government may make official reports the media can then use. They might also use humanitarian NGOs (Amnesty, HRW…) or outright CIA outfits (World Uyghur Congress, Radio Free Europe…).
4. Stories start coming out more and more often. The volume of coverage regarding the target country becomes much bigger than before the campaign.
5. At the same time, groups and individuals in the target country, that have been funded by the imperialist country, are being put in the spotlight. They have been groomed for years, laying somewhat dormant until it’s time to activate them.
6. Stories about these groups call them champions of democracy, freedom fighters, etc. A clear limit is drawn: they are good people, and the government that’s preventing them from achieving their policies are the bad guys. This is the basis of a color revolution.
7. Slowly, public opinion starts to shift. We don’t necessarily act on this opinion yet though, we plant the seeds to make later consent easier. Each seed makes the next one easier to plant and grow.
8. The imperialist country continues the campaign but also starts small, probing actions to see what it can get away with. It might enact sanctions or query the UN for intervention. It will also call these acts “moral” and underline that they are meant to sanction the country until it becomes a democracy again, further digging the good vs. evil line.
9. Meanwhile, everything the target country does to prove its innocence and lawful conduct is not published or gets blocked (e.g. request for a UN delegation visit). Their point of view is never printed in the media or if it is, only when they can spin it in a good way.
10. Slowly, regime change is brought up. Subconsciously at first (e.g. “China would be free if it wasn’t for the communist party”, which implies destroying it and the system it built). Later, it can be more overt (e.g. Iran).
11. Finally, consent has been manufactured and public opinion has completely shifted on the target country. People come to see invasion as the only solution, and they will happily support it once it happens. It may not happen for several years though, as material reasons might not make invasion possible. Sometimes, a color revolution (which is mostly carried by nationals of the country in question but funded and trained by the imperialist country) is the best thing we can do.

.
If the operation succeeds:

  1. If the operation succeeds, a pro-US dictator will be ‘elected’ or seize power. The election will be called fair and democratic, as was the case in Ukraine 2014. This president will be paraded around in the West and become a media figure that everyone comes to know. This is what happened to Zelensky, but also to Pinochet in his time and Juan Guaido.
  2. Inside the country, everything gets privatized and sold to US and European companies under the directives of the dictator. This is rarely talked about or if it is, it’s presented as banal — e.g., “Ford to open factory in Argentina”. Quality of life plummets, actual humanitarian crises start, etc.
  3. The media still publishes stories on the country, but always in a good light, and not as many as during the operation. They might sometimes call to unrest in the country but always as a distant, abstract phenomenon.
  4. As long as the dictator plays by our rules, the country keeps being talked about positively. As soon as he starts to become too independent, we will use the chaotic post-coup situation to repeat the process with a new President.

Imperialism and anti-imperialism are exactly the same. You fool. You absolute buffoon.
in reply to davel

I don’t see what’s anti-imperialist about Iran, who have been building fiefdoms throughout the region.
in reply to ohulancutash

The reason that our media have incessantly repeated Iran-backed this, Iran-controlled that for decades is to convince us that Iran is the big bad guy behind the small bad guys terrorizing good guy Israel.

By now it should be obvious that Israel never was the good guy. Israel is a US-backed genocidal, fascist, settler-colonial state seeking Lebensraum for a Greater Israel. And the supposed “bad guys” have just been trying to survive under threat the of the small imperialist state, Israel, a state which only exists thanks to significant, continued support from the big imperialist state, the US.

General Wesley Clark 📺

That is why Iran accurately, metaphorically calls the US the “Great Satan” and Israel the “Small Satan”.

Sometimes I say "libs think imperialism is when any country does anything outside of their border except for western ones" and think I'm being ridiculously hyperbolic but god damn if there ain't a lot of y'all who do think like that
in reply to ohulancutash

They fight against usa's military base "Pissrael". This makes them anti-imperialist.
in reply to rxbudian

Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).

So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.

Browser Timezone & Privacy Concerns


Browser Timezone & Privacy Concerns

How can I hide my "timezone" from sniffing sites?

From my understanding, websites can access both the timezone of my browser (without using javascript) and the timezone of my local machine (using javascript). my question being
- If a website has access to my local machine's timezone, does it mean it has access to other information on/about my local machine?
- According to Privacy - How can I hide my "timezone" from sniffing sites? - Super User, we must disable JavaScript to block timezone access. However disabling javascript is not really feasible as it breaks most of websites. Is there a workaround that allows us to block JavaScript from running specific commands?
- Maybe my understanding of JavaScript is incorrect, but if a website has the privilege of running any program on my computer through the web browser, it can retrieve all the information it needs. If I don't disable JavaScript while using the browser, I don't see the point in resisting fingerprinting, like spoofing my device info.

appreciate any help!

in reply to Geodad

Set your system time to UTC.


but then the time display on my system would be incorrect wouldn't it

in reply to Holeheadou92984

It'll also be wrong in every application you run in your browser. Even local sites.
in reply to Album

Yeah I tried this as well and royally fucked myself. Not worth it.
in reply to Holeheadou92984

Firefox has a fingerprint resistance setting that sets the clock to UTC. It messes up a lot of sites. There's 10 million people in my timezone so I just leave it.
Questa voce è stata modificata (3 mesi fa)
in reply to Geodad

could you please provide a link to an article or video about how a website could have access to information on local machine?
in reply to Holeheadou92984

Your web browser gives up that information when asked by a site.
in reply to Geodad

is it possible to
- disable permission for a software running on local machine from attaining local timezone and other information? (like firewall or something similar)
- disable permission for a website from attaining local timezone information passed to the browser inside browser using browser extension?
in reply to Holeheadou92984

There may be browser extensions that will spoof your TZ data.
in reply to Holeheadou92984

I believe Librewolf and Mullvad Browser change your timezone, either to UTC or to Atlantic/Reyjavik (for some reason; probably a bug on my end). Tor Browser likely does the same, but I'm not sure.
in reply to Hellfire103

Browsers (except for Tor) doing this in the name of privacy is so dumb. Our timezones are already apparent due to our IP addresses. Not only does this not hide the timezone but also makes the user more fingerprintable. Now I'm the dumbass from Ohio who's browser reports UTC timezone for some reason.
in reply to slackness

Not so dumb for a bunch of us using VPNs with exit nodes in other time zones.



What is the Green Party US? What are the political views of the Green Party?


In this video I discuss the viewpoints of the Green Party on several different topics. We first look at an overview of the fundamental views of the party itself, including their 4 Pillars. Then we talk about their stances in the following areas:

Taxes - 00:58
Economy - 1:47
Healthcare - 2:36
Civil Rights - 3:20
Education - 4:00
Environment - 4:48

Although there are many other views of the Green Party, this is meant to give a brief and informative introduction to the Green Party's platform.

Information for this video was pulled from the following sources:

Allstones Lake Trail, Kiska/Wilson PLUZ, Alberta CA


Just east of the Icefields Parkway in Alberta this great trail opposite the beautiful Abraham Lake (N. Saskatchewan River). Gaining 2800 ft to get to the top of Allstones ridge includes a long exposed section of loose rock well worth the effort before heading down to the smaller Allstones lake. There is some amazing camping all along Abraham lake, requires the $30 annual Public Land Use Zone permit (what a great bargain). Hiked 5/20/25

The glacial waters of Abraham lake seem below the rocky peak of Allstones ridge. Snowy Kista peak is off in the distance.

Downhill from the summit of Allstones ridge, three hikers may be seen talking. Allstones lake is partially frozen below with Infinite Stones peak looming over it.

Looking out from the hillside, a rain/snow shower falls on Abraham lake below. Kista peak and Mt Michener can be seen in the background. This is the slope for the majority f the loose rock section, it gets steeper but with more defined footing at the top.

Abraham mountain and Allstones peak on the other side of a forested valley. Black and White.

Palestinians forced to choose between being killed or starved, UN says


cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/5330515

At least 140 people were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza over the past 24 hours as the confrontation between Israel and Iran teetered on the precipice of an even more dangerous conflagration.

Among those killed were people attempting to access aid being brought in by UN trucks in central Gaza.

Around 400 people have been killed while attempting to reach aid since the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food on 27 May, and more than 3,000 injured, according to authorities in Gaza.

More than 55,600 people have been killed in Gaza and nearly 130,000 injured since Israel’s military assault began in October 2023, according to the Palestinian health ministry in the territory. More than 5,330 people have been killed and nearly 18,000 injured since Israel broke a two-month-old ceasefire on 18 March.

The UN human rights office called on the Israeli military “to immediately cease its use of lethal force around food distribution points in Gaza, following repeated instances of shooting and killing of Palestinians seeking to access food there.”

The Zionist project is really on the “who gon stop me?” mode.

Be it internationally - Yemen? About the only nation actually trying. No one else wants to risk the bombs falling on them next.

Or domestically - it’s publicly unpopular but what are you gonna do? The two options of Republican or Democrat are both in favour, so what exactly are you going to do? Gripe and moan and then go to work on Monday.

Either way the empire continues its Zionist agenda with only a few stiff words against it.

First sale doctrine gives you some rights, but it doesn’t give all the same rights you would have for any other physical object that doesn’t include copyrighted work.

If I buy 100 chairs, I’m free to start a chair rental business. If I buy 100 copies of a game, I cannot start renting them out without permission from the actual owner of the game.

The fact that the law entitles you to a slightly broader license doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s still just a license and not ownership. The only thing you own is the physical media (e.g. the plastic disc) not the contents of that disc.

It's false equivalency. Do you own a chair design or just a physical chair? Do you own a physical painting you bought (protected by the same laws as physical games)?
