I'm starting to believe JD isn't a true believer of his religion 🤡

I'm not anti democracy I just think a version of this ideals already showed up in that society with Sankara and he got murdered. I think the forces of democracy actually end up backfiring and the victims become anti democratic given the violent way they're "democratized" also France has taken advantage of Burkina Faso for so many years by imposing the euro to their economy at fixed rates, and robbing their gold. At this point, they have tried the western ways, and the only thing that's truly stupid is trying something twice that you know doesn't work for you.

The guardian is a Western source allied with France view of the world. To truly understand what he said we'd need to be living in a context where western ideals aren't a given. The history of this country is just suffering no matter what. He may be worse than the colonist but it's their right to govern themselves as they see fit. Democracy can also bring you fascists who have no care for the population as we are all experiencing.

I love kagi and I'm questioning if my level of commitment is to renew for another year and year after that. I find pricey but worth it. The Internet is better without ads being pushed down your throat. The only thing that'd make it perfect is having map service to Google level. Open street maps is not there yet but is a fun time mapping my surroundings, however the level of usefulness of Google maps is still unmatched for me. Otherwise, Kagi has been amazing and I recommend them, I hope they trigger true competition in the search markets because when the search engines work for ads instead of people the Internet is so much worse

I was recently in Auckland and loved the gayborhood there

Hope people really take over the streets everywhere. What this clown has done to the country is irreparable damage in the short to medium term. The world will keep turning but the US won't be leading it any longer. For all the fear mongering China may as well take the lead from now on. At least those authoritarians bordering dictators have improved China unlike our corporate overlords on this side of the Pacific.

The UK is winning some and losing others, prosecute pedophiles but also creating a police state in the island. The surveillance level there rivals China. The internet is less free every passing year that we allow illiterate politicians decide for the people. The complete disregard of our privacy just because they don't understand the nature of the internet or technology is astonishing, at best, and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt that this is not plain out government overreach on the private citizens lives.

These young people think that being conservative is forward looking and rebellious...they're so so wrong. Sadly they'll be the ones creating the policies for the foreseeable future, and their dumb choices will hunt those of us that still have a quite a bit of time in planet earth. Idiocracy wasn't a movie but a documentary.

I think I agree with you. I usually select the text to do an action and the choices are useful. I don't select for the better reading, if anything it's just to highlight the text.
