Because the standard is open I guess Chinese can pick up development/ contribute to the instruction set still? I suppose you could create further walled gardens by forcing western tech companies to not make anything be able to use it?
Excellent post by the way
Back to the Iran axis. Iran has assets in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. The relationship between the Iranian regime and much of this militant network is complex. Calling them "proxies" reduces their agency. Calling them "allies" makes it seem they're totally independent.
I thought this was pretty interesting. I wonder if it's similar to the arrangement I learned about from the latest Blowback episode with Pakistan's support in Afghanistan.
So my analysis is that Israel's response so far reflects primarily not Israel's security imperatives but Netanyahu's political calculations. His first statement was "We're going to change the Middle East", which if you follow Netanyahu you know is a very Netanyahu thing to say.
From earlier in the thread but I do think it's a good point that I didn't really think much about. There's going to be a lot of internal struggles between the military, politicians (in particular Netanyahu) and portions of the population.
I can't understand a word, but you don't have to. It's pretty obvious and it's disgusting.
Was this the one that included the language of condemning Hamas or something which is why more voted for it?
Very true, as long as his sanity holds on. I know I couldn't do hours of that, but I don't stream for a living.
Yeah I was watching it like 3 hours ago and it was getting extremely circular and then left and came back and was surprised the conversation practically hasn't moved at all.
Checking in on Hasan's stream and I guess they're looking at unedited footage of like 10 minutes of sustained bombing around the hospital. I mean I know it's obvious the IDF did it, more evidence I guess though.
It reminds me of an Empire Files video from apparently 6 years ago where Abby Martin interviewed Israeli's and the most deranged stuff would come out of their mouths. You just have to let them speak and all the hate and genocidal desires come out. It's so disturbing.
St Pauli, a planned attack on a supporters’ coach and the possible political motivation behind it It's sports related and from the Athletic. I'll try to quote it a bit, but just seemed interesting with all the news about Germany recently.
In the early hours of last Sunday morning, a service station in north-east Germany was the setting for what appears to have been a planned attack on a travelling band of St Pauli supporters.
The Saalepiraten — the Saale Pirates — are a St Pauli fan group, with members drawn from Halle, Leipzig and Dessau, three cities in Saxony-Anhalt, all situated on or around the Saale River. The group had made the journey south to the Olympiastadion in Germany’s capital on Saturday, September 30, to watch their team move to the top of the 2.Bundesliga with a 2-1 victory over Hertha Berlin. When the game finished, they began their coach journey home shortly after 11pm local time.
At around 12.45am, they made the first of their scheduled stops at an Esso garage outside Dessau, a city 50km from Leipzig. Some fans got off the coach as planned and headed towards their cars, others chose to stretch their legs on the garage forecourt. According to supporters — all of whom have been granted anonymity by The Athletic to respect their privacy — between six and eight vehicles then appeared, in addition to three nine-seater minibuses, before a group of masked attackers wearing red and white balaclavas emerged, and descended upon the coach and the supporters nearby. Some were able to escape to their cars parked nearby and others made it back onto the coach.
Another witness believes that an extra wave of attackers appeared from behind the petrol station itself, before surrounding the coach and physically assaulting fans, while shouting “Scheiß Zecken — Scheiß St Pauli (S*** ticks — S*** St Pauli)”.
St Pauli are arguably the most famous politically left-wing club in Europe and are known as much for their values and ideals as their football. It is not known who the attackers were, but clashes with far-right groups from rival clubs are not unusual. The club’s rivalry with Hansa Rostock, for instance, has periodically been punctuated with violence between St Pauli ultras and a group of right-wing Rostock supporters.
“Zecken” is also a slur with which St Pauli fans are often taunted, at home in Hamburg and beyond. Its literal translation is “tick” but, in English, its implied meaning would be “leech” and, as such, it carries derisory connotations regarding social class and welfare dependency.
The supporters’ coach, which contained three minors, was surrounded and prevented from moving to safety. According to the witnesses, the masked group also tried to force its doors open, before the police arrived and the attackers scattered, disappearing back to their vehicles. Members of the fan club who escaped the scene later reported being passed by minibuses containing the attackers. Later that night, one of the coaches involved in the attack was later stopped by police at another petrol station, 20km away in Kockern.
