*How can I, as a leftwing Jew, show support for both Palestinians and Israelis?*

Falsifying facts in a movie

lundi 27 novembre 2023 à 05:19

Falsifying facts in a movie that purports to show history is deception, and wrong.

I am always very disappointed when I recognize, or learn later, that some detail of a historical movie has been altered for entertainment purposes.

Ads on Ex-Twitter

lundi 27 novembre 2023 à 05:19

Media Matters reports that Ex-Twitter shows ads for big companies in close relation to Nazi postings. Several companies have responded by ceasing to buy ads on Ex-Twitter.

That article displays what it asserts are examples of that practice.

The Musk-ox said he would sue Media Matters out of existence. Presuming the evidence presented is true — and it is inconceivable that Media Matters would present false examples — I don't see what grounds Ex-Twitter could have for a valid suit. But maybe the idea in the Musk-mellon head purpose is to run Media Matters into the ground with legal expenses before it can get a decision.

He also called the companies which stopped advertising "oppressors". That is clearly true in the case of Apple. It is an oppressor through the nonfree software and SaaSS it controls, and the surveillance it carries out on millions. However, Musk is no better, as the Tesla car does similarly nasty surveillance.

Why does he insult them? Clearly Musk is not trying to win their business back. I don't think he ever wanted Twitter to make money for him. I think he wants to use Ex-Twitter to build up a fascist following like the one that the insurrectionist has.

Maybe they will then have their armies fight it out, much as Julius Caesar and Pompeius Magnus fought over who would be emperor of Rome. Our mission will be to defeat them both.
