Yes, until the political situation make it unfeasible without being treated like a dangerous terrorist. The OP didn't said it either, but she should have.

In fact, they are already unstoppable. History showed us many times that when autocrats are in full power, they keep it forever, unless they lose a war or die without having planified their succession. And don't talk me about the Biden example, his presidency did not prevented an unpreceded harm by the GOP.

The post is right, but only on the paper, and not really in a world that is progressively taken over by ecocidal autocrats whose program is to kill every bit of efforts in climate fight, so even the smallest progress we made will soon be distant memories and fighting will be increasingly dangerous and difficult and, ultimately, virtually impossible. And the locked-in catastrophes are now sufficient to collapse our already fragilized geopolitical context.

People saying it's "not too late" are systematically downplaying the current political context, wich make their message pretty unconsistent.

English is not my mother language, i used an automatic translator for this word. In french, this is called "sas d'entrée".

-Karl Marx: his ideology, that intended to fight oppression, was only used to build dictatorships.

-Martin Luther King: institutionalized racism is still alive and well.

-Marsha P. Johnson: the current situation of american queer -and especially trans- people in America is self explanatory.

Impunity of members of UN security council

If a UN resolution is vetoed by at least one of the members of the UN security council, the said resolution is thrown in the trash. That means that if a war crime is serving the interests of at least one member of the UN security council, its full impunity is de facto guaranteed. Even worse: some of the members are notably war-thirsty and 2 of them aren't even democratic. And there is no way to change this way of functioning because it also can be vetoed by the said members. How many crimes have been made possible because of that?

Cyberbullying

Not a single judiciary system is able to tackle a phenomena that can happens from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world an can imply a handful of thousand of persons. Big tech does not have legal obligation nor financial or ideological interest to tackle it because forcing them would be unconstitutional. The rare cases where justice give a fuck about it, you get at best the condemnation of a bunch of nobodies after years of legal procedure during which the bully continues, and most of your bullies are still unpunished and free to launch a punitive expedition.

Totally disagree. The rise of populist politicians using xenophobic rhetoric is the proof that this mechanism is still strong.

Populism

This is as old as the democracy itself, and we still don't know how to fix it. People are so easily driven by their emotions and stubborn about their political opinions that you only have to exploit cynically their low instincts to take the power, especially in a crisis context. And once populists are in the power, they hardly give it back.

 

I have read the documentation, but i still don't understand how simpleX know that the messages are delivered to the right person if it doesn't use ID's. Could someone explain it schematically ?

Thanks

 

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

 

One year, we decided to pass the new year eve in an uncle's house at some god forsaken hole with our dog. After a neverending trip during wich our dog farted in the car, we finally arrive. The said uncle was a radical ecologist, wich is not a problem per se, except when his only conversation subject is about the ecological collapse, not the ideal subject for a good atmosphere, with in addition to that my sister's BF, who was with us, doing his Mr. know-it-all show. Then we went to sleep, and i realize that i forgot my earplugs. No luck, everyone in my family was snoring very loudly, including the dog. Result: i didn't sleep at all and looked pretty much like a zombie the next morning.

Without hesitation, the smell of persons who didn't took a shower for a long time, the only smell so far able to make me puke.

 

When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.
