Well us IT people have enjoyed quite a nice little guild (in medieval terms) existence. But just like the engineers and all others before, capitalism must break us and drive us back from the labor aristocracy and into the misery of the broader proletariat.

On the other hand, it might redpill (pun intended) some people

They put an ad on the bloody Sagrada Familia?! That’s it, I’m getting the pitchforks

They probably don’t think it’s “problematic” when they do it

Thank you!

Any information on why it crashed?

Did they suggest “kicking Russia out” of ISS by chance?

Could be during the latest resupply

Will do

Thanks for the elaboration

Wait, I’m still confused, sorry. What you describe seems to apply to pretty much any electronics manufacturer, not just Xiaomi. I was specifically asking about them, do they stand out in some fashion?

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “not very ethical”? Predatory corporate practices?

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

This has also been an excellent tool to sow inter-generational resentment among the proletariat.

Would you mind explaining how, please? I am not familiar with this

Are they preparing for saturation air strikes?

Well they’re either going to ignore it or say it’s good and justified achschualy.

It matters because it will be used to terrorize civilians in LDNR and in Russian cities near the border. Rostov et al.

Thank you!

Any links? Not doubting you, just wanted to share with some folks and could use original sources.

JFC this is worse than I thought, and I expected nothing. They’re shooting down several Su-57s in it? With old-ass F-18s? The synopsis doesn’t say those are Russian pilots, but I haven’t heard of that particular plane even being considered for export.

Terrible, all around terrible.

Is that the Muppets guy?

Please tell me it’s some kind of misinterpretation of what happened. Because this is absolute bullshit if that’s how it went for real. Heavy criminal offence level of bullshit. “Criminal inaction” level.

Who even runs these “osint” channels? I know a fellow who constantly uses them for the news, but they honestly look like a buncha sofa warriors with too much self-importance.

I’m still confused, it’s basically an RPG isn’t it? It seems weirdly analogous to RPG-28 or something like that. How is it a “next generation” weapon?

The sad part is, back in the actual Crusade days, one was launched against Slavs. Including, ya know, Ukranians.

Implying that wasn’t part of the plan

Is it Ukranians making shit up, or paid propagandists in NATO countries?

A warhammer reference on lemmygrad? Well I never!

Well done!

Remember when “canned air” was a hyperbolic image to show outrageous hypothetical dystopia? I remember. Speedy Racer comes to mind.

Well I guess it was inevitable after corporations made consumer electronics “leased” rather than bought. Just look at the text for Windows 10 license for example. Or the notorious John Deere tractors. Prosthetics were a next logical step.

They’ll drag us down along, don’t you even doubt

I understand that this sound like anarkiddie tier ideological puritanism, but I’m inclined to say yes, he should not. Because Biden represents the very same capitalist interests that the unions are trying to wrestle against. This meeting seems like an attemt to defang the protest, not an honest move to listen to people’s demands.

And yet he decided to meet with Mr Warmonger here.

Perhaps they believe they can do that with impunity. Because why not? What is the Russian military going to do, shoot down USian spy satellites and drones? Bomb their spy centers in Poland? That’ll be nukes flying in no time.

The story has served its purpose - stoking the feeling of outrage in the lemmings and soothed them to the thought of dumping billions of dollars not into infrastructure or anything useful to them, but into weapons.

Funny, I remember many a reddit post complaining about those things a few years back, listing the predatory practices of the likes of John Deere. But now that it’s “correct target” it is suddenly okay.

And yet they went back. They went back to their cushy First Worlder lives. Meanwhile, near damn every day there’s a necrolog for another guy from my city that died in Ukraine. Fuck these mercs and their sappy tale.

threats of retaliation are meaningless and hold no weight

Unless of course they’re counting on retaliation being either impossible (due to USA’s missile defences) or not happening due to capitalists in Russia being unwilling to go that far. After all, if the world burns, so do their money and power.

Indeed, why waste money on infrastructure or even weapons, when you can just flood the net with fabricated memes and brainwash the youth of “the enemy”. Not to mention the proles at home.
