While you are busy caring for the „freedom“ of the people in Iran and South America, ICE just murdered a US citizen in broad daylight and Twitter is censoring the evidence. Anyone want to let me know at what point it is justified for the ayatollah to bomb DC or for Putin to kidnap Trump and put him on trial for crimes against humanity in Russia to free the great people of the US of A? Oh thats right, the answer is never.

Nothing more frustrating to a journalist than accs with 140k+ followers turning up to sensationalize the news for engagement. If you've seen this post on X, it is completely untrue. DAC8 is very very bad, but the EU has not "OFFICIALLY ENDED CRYPTO PRIVACY IN THE EU", and is most certainly also not "the definitive end of anonymous crypto holdings in the EU". There's a bunch of surveillance risks for people who rely on exchanges and custodial services with DAC8 that mainly pertain to international information exchange, e.g. giving the UAE insight into all your transactions if you are a UAE citizen living abroad, which can pose a risk to your life if you are a journalist for example. But DAC8 doesn't affect non-custodial software at all, which is what you should be using if you want privacy in the first place.

Almost no Venezuelan believes that social protest and political negotiations within Venezuela would have caused a change in government, according to a poll commissioned by the WSJ. Incredibly sad to see.

I think its good that Maduro is gone. I dont think that bombing the people of Venezuela and kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation is the right thing to do. But if you believe that the warmongering regime change psycho Machado had any chance at leading the country, you‘ve been sold a total fucking lie - especially after the last Western installed presidential disaster that was Juan Guaido, who looted the country for Billions and made no improvements for his own people. Sad to see that there are so many people in this space who think that black bagging people in other countries, trying them under bogus charges, and letting a corporate demon seize power in their place without legitimate elections is somehow aligned with „democracy“.

Wild how what the Maduro regime does/did to dissidents sounds exactly like what the EU/UK are doing at home (though arguably under better prison conditions) No one should be persecuted for freedom of speech, anywhere View quoted note →
