    One of the reasons I no longer work at a non profit group of homeless shelters in the US is because the board fucking contracted consulting with a private security company that worked with and had many IDF people in it, for our shelter security protocols.

    That and I was adamantly opposed to using any Microsoft service to handle any of our data on our homless and in need ‘clients’.

    I was about 5 years ahead of the curve on ‘MSFT is a data / PII security nightmare’, just look at basically all of Europe right now, but you can perhaps imagine how that attitude doesn’t fly so well in Seattle.

        Its a fascinating thing that sometimes when you pretend to have power, people actually go ahead and grant you that power. I think its related to laziness. Its a key part of how trump gets away with so much BS. He kept saying Powell was fired, for example, and look, Powell is still there because trump never had the power to fire him.

      and in turn, the us & israel both learned it from britain & other european countries. european colonisers have been teaching each other how to maximise their cruelty, murder & land theft since at least the greek empire & the concept of western “civilisation” 😮‍💨

        You can tell an American when they dodge responsibility for their atrocities by citing ancient history. I mean im focused on the living people you fucked, including my own people. Im sure to you we are just as distant and meaningless as someone in the 1600s, and that’s what makes your people such monsters. You don’t care about the blood you shed, all you do is point the finger elsewhere, a brown person if convenient.
