That is the most disturbing part of this whole mess. People seem to actually believe that Russel Brand is a danger to the establishment. He acts like a teenager who got grounded, and then goes on a rant about how the illuminati imprisoned him because he was about to uncover the truth about the yeti.

Literally a 50-year-old man-baby who just realized what people usually realize when they are teenagers; corporations want to earn money, governments are involved in wars, there is something called capitalism, and life is not fair.

How is preaching those things on Youtube a threat to the establishment? Dude got fucking canceled cuz people dug up the dirt, it happens but does not mean you're the second coming of Jesus Christ, Neo or Che Guevara.

Seriously, what is wrong with the world? Also I thought Blumenthal was smart, wtf.

Dear god, you probably would even fail your bachelor thesis for putting such questions in a survey.

Which statement best describes what you think about “canceling”?

Do you consider each of the following behaviors or traits a green, beige, or red flag in a partner?

None of those things are even remotely clear and/or clarified, 100% useless data.

"only" 15-17 monkeys, but thousands of other animals, insanely depressing. the more you read about it, the more you will start to actually believe that the death of one particular primate could indeed be beneficial for humanity ...

On several occasions over the years, Musk has told employees to imagine they had a bomb strapped to their heads in an effort to get them to move faster, according to three sources who repeatedly heard the comment. On one occasion a few years ago, Musk told employees he would trigger a “market failure” at Neuralink unless they made more progress, a comment perceived by some employees as a threat to shut down operations, according to a former staffer who heard his comment. Five people who’ve worked on Neuralink’s animal experiments told Reuters they had raised concerns internally. They said they had advocated for a more traditional testing approach, in which researchers would test one element at a time in an animal study and draw relevant conclusions before moving on to more animal tests. Instead, these people said, Neuralink launches tests in quick succession before fixing issues in earlier tests or drawing complete conclusions. The result: More animals overall are tested and killed, in part because the approach leads to repeated tests. One former employee who asked management several years ago for more deliberate testing was told by a senior executive it wasn’t possible given Musk’s demands for speed, the employee said. Two people told Reuters they left the company over concerns about animal research.

Since I installed a keylogger on Scholz' PC, I can provide some insight on how this decision was made ...

Can you provide a link to 1 article that consists of "tankie fantasies"?

Edit: and they couldn't.

it's not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:

  • Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
  • Bit-Chute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
  • DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
  • Vimeo – NEXT!
  • Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
  • peertube – too confusing 😵‍💫
  • means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢

Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.

Since 2014, when a US-backed coup installed a nationalist government in Kiev, our contributors have been at the forefront of exposing the role of Washington in pushing Ukraine toward all-out war with Russia.

But I actually have to agree with you on this, that is bullshit. The Grayzone was not at the forefront of this in 2014; the BBC was. (full transcript)

The money didn't come from Gofundme, it came from private donors, who have not been notified or refunded so far.

If freedom of the press is loved, why is it made extra difficult to support the independent media of your choice?

People donated to that site because they probably view the information it provides as valuable.

It's fine if you think the Grayzone is shit, no one will force you to read it, but please be aware that you accept authoritarianism when it suits your bias and political beliefs. Not even questioning the reasons for the withholding? Do you just think the boss or some random person of Gofundme spontaneously thought "Nah, not those guys, not today" then froze the 90k? Not even questioning how a journalist ends up on a list of the UK Counter-Terror Police?

And btw, dismissing journalistic work when it proves that you've been told lies does not make you a critical thinker, it just makes you a victim of propaganda, all the best 😘
