  • Possibly. It’s a reshuffling after the US dominance is being destroyed by the orangutan with the red button. People are now more aware of its nation building meddling efforts and are rightfully trying to find other trade partners and products. Just because those aren’t the US doesn’t mean it’s the end of cooperation. The US isn’t the only partner out there.

    Also, it’s good that countries are recognising the delusion of reliance on a single entity. The EU relied on the US for protection and practically lost its army. Many countries relied on the WHO being funded by the US instead of trying to diversify the funding. The entire world basically relies on oil and is now paying the price (as it should). Many countries developed tech but relied on the US market to grow companies and om China for production. All of that is luckily changing.

    Whether we will ultimately learn from our mistakes? I don’t know, but history has a tendency of repeating itself. Things will shake up, settle down, people will get complacent, a crisis (or multiple) will happen, and it’ll shake things up, rinse repeat.




  • How are hippies going to survive this? On the one hand, they need an overpriced piece of hardware with rounded edges to stick their anti-capitalist stickers on, on the other hand it would (just as always) be supporting an anti-palestinian regime.

    I guess, the same as always, ignore the inconvenient truths and drink some mate or kombucha, or whatever it is they drink, and go to an anti-zionist protest with big tech hardware in their hands.

    Meanwhile, the large majority won’t care. Out of sight, out of mind. As long as the new gadget makes them seem like they belong in a high social class and they can fit in 🤷 “A little big tech ain’t hurt nobody! (nobody I know)”
