Technology@lemmy.world•Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issuesEnglish
313·25 days agoThe Chinese United Front are testing a series of backbone organizations and assets for readiness. The final attack will coincide with major world events and obscure readiness and communications.
This will be done via disconnecting several relates levels of internet functionality so that even their repair measure will still seem unresolved. They will reconfigure and retry, unaware that their problem is solved, it’s the other levels/locations of the internet’s function that are still broken (so can’t be tested against).
This will provide extended cover that could last days or weeks. So far testing of this plan has been going well.

politics @lemmy.world•Dozens of States Sue Trump Administration Over Planned Food Stamp Cuts
121·2 months agoThey’re the best States. Nobody sues like these States. They’ve got the best lawyers, and it’s going to be a great case. A case like you would not believe. In fact I think the courts should just give up right now and let these States win the case. Everyone’s saying the judge should just decide the case, let them win, and walk away. That’s how good these States are.

politics @lemmy.world•ICE Is Stockpiling Warheads and Chemical Weapons
12·2 months agoEven just this conversation is something of a proof. You kept hitting me with that “proof” that ICE’s funding is being raised as if would “convince” me of something. You know, being a good debunker trying to realign your “opponents” viewpoint. Correct their values… Where as I wasn’t putting half as much effort into my approach.
Just writing my pro-propaganda poerty. Because poetry, art, humor, propaganda is an art form. Science, logic, rationality, skepticism, debunking - they’re a science, it’s more effort. Take more work. The mindset is more draining. It’s subject to more burnout and isolation.
It’s a case study. Meanwhile the upvotes for this post don’t go away. Nor do the people who didn’t see your correction, who just saw the headline and continued on their way (which I suspect is most reddit/lemmy style users, they’re doom scrolling).
Now apply this to a whole system of posting accross platforms like the alt-right does …and a little debunking can’t really make a dent in the overall effect.
It’s a tool the left can’t afford to avoid. It’s best seen and done as an art, as comedy, with humour, gloss, and pizazz, like Trump does it. That’s what works. Everything’s a commercial. An elevator pitch.
I’ve been a debunker. It only works in a rational society, and only untill the forces of irrationality emmerge again out of emotional need. Propaganda deals with the emotions because people aren’t rational.
It’s a case study.

Wait, am I talking about Jefferson or Trump?




Taxes are deflationary (they are the death of money), rather than cut spending - you could just slap a bunch of taxes on Musk and others hoarding of wealth.
That’s the problem with spending cuts, you might be cutting deflationary spending, or price stabilizing spending. Not all spending is inflationary.
A homeless person often costs the government more than an unemployed person, because usually they’re gonna still be collecting some benefits here and there, often they end up in jail, or are more likely to use public housing, or do crimes which need policing/court involvement… It all stacks up.
Preventing people from becoming homeless is deflationary.
