Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 31,000.

The US Senate, with Biden's support, passed a bill to authorize more than $14,000,000,000 in military aid to Israel.

The International Court of Justice made an interim ruling in South Africa's favor in their case accusing Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza, deeming it plausible, Nicaragua signed on to the case.

Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked cargo ships in the Red Sea in an attempt to disrupt the supply line of Israel's ongoing carpet bombing campaign against Gaza, resulting in the sinking of the Rubymar. The Biden admin has responded to the Houthis with a retaliatory bombing campaign, killing multiple fighters and at least one civilian. An attack on the True Confidence in March then yielded the first 3 civilian casualties of Houthi attacks.

Trade unionists in Scotland and England have blockaded major UK arms factories.

Canada, Australia, and the EU have started to resume funding to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugee aid. Members of the agency have stated that Israel employed torture when interrogating them.

OK but think about it in practicle terms the US produces a lot of weapons and you want those weapons to go to arms-buyers that don't intent on using em.

Netanyahu has attacked the western population by pushing for attacks on civil liberties. That is a serious crime but compared to what he has done to the people in the middle east, i think the injustice they have suffered has priority, they should be the ones that get to prosecute him.

I don't want them going to anybody. War is a racket, I genuinely don't care if some of the weapons were just going to some country who was getting conned into buying them or simply getting them as "gives" they won't use. America has people sleeping under bridges, the "defense" stimuluses are not trickling down.

Well, no. You can just arrest him without the state. He's made out of flesh and blood like anybody else. They can send assassins if they want, none of that shit scares me in the least. So many of the resources in America have gone towards war and empire and the rich, and this is the sort of thing they do with it while people here go homeless, unemployed, sick. I want you to understand that there are millions in this country who are about as scared of anything that a human can do to another human as I am; we don't care, and that's valuable. With time and this understanding of the reality of the situation, together we can achieve well considered goals.

Russian warships sail into the Red Sea

Several Russian warships have sailed into the Red Sea after Moscow reportedly struck a deal earlier this month for safe passage with Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which have been attacking ships in the strategic waterway amid Israel’s war on Gaza.

The Russian warships include the missile cruiser Varyag and frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, according to the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet.

On March 21, Bloomberg reported that Moscow and Beijing had reached an informal agreement with the Houthis not to attack their ships in the Red Sea.

Several days later, the Houthis still shot a missile at a Chinese-owned tanker, possibly due to inaccurate information about its source, according to prominent shipping analyst Lars Jensen.

New scrutiny over Google, Amazon’s billion-dollar contract with Israel gov’t

Amid the war in Gaza, scrutiny is intensifying over Amazon and Google’s $1.2bn contract with the Israeli government to provide it with cloud computing services.

The contract, called Project Nimbus, provides Israel’s military with cutting-edge AI and machine learning features, which critics fear are being used to expand illegal surveillance on Palestinians in the occupied territory.

At least 38 killed in attacks on Syrian city of Aleppo: Report

Attacks carried out by the Israeli military and militant groups on the Syrian city of Aleppo have killed at least 38 civilians and military personnel, a figure that includes five members of Lebanese group Hezbollah, the Reuters news agency has confirmed, citing two security sources.

Earlier we reported that the Israeli strikes happened “in conjunction” with a drone attack on Aleppo targeting civilians conducted by “terrorist organisations” from the city of Idlib.

The Syrian government has not clarified how many of the casualties were caused by the Israeli air strikes or the attacks by militant groups.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Israeli strikes hit a weapons depot near Aleppo International Airport, resulting in a series of large explosions.

Israel has for years carried out strikes in Syria, where Iranian-aligned groups, including Hezbollah, hold sway in eastern, southern and northwestern areas of the country, as well as suburbs around the capital.

Hamas claims Israeli forces caught in own house detonation operation: Monitors

Hamas fighters claim to have detonated explosives that Israeli forces rigged to destroy a building in northern Khan Younis, killing and wounding a number of soldiers in the process, war monitors report.

All right can someone explain why the hell there aren't more death race games? I've never been able to understand this. Why would I want to settle for kiddie kart racing where no one ever dies when I could strap guns to my vehicle and kill everyone in front of me?

It's always baffled me why there's a whole bunch of car combat games taking place in an arena, but nobody wants to combine the idea with racing. What gives?

This thread will detail some of the changes made to the site in the past year, as well as our plans for the future.

New i2p Address
As requested by several users, and in accordance with our general ethos of encouraging online anonymity, leftychan now has an i2p address which can be found here:
http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p or http://leftychan.i2p/

Moderation Changes
* New spam filter - Thanks to the hard work of our dev and admin Zer0-, leftychan now has an effective countermeasure against the automatic bot spam that plagues alt-chans. Dubbed as the 'spam noticer', the implementation of this system has led to a dramatic fall in malicious advertisement threads being posted to the site.
* New mods & dev - In order to better cover european and asian timezones, two more mods have been voted onto the team. These are sindikat, who has previous moderation experience, and jon, who is also acting as a dev and has made many valuable contributions in this capacity.
* Removal of Zul - In line with the rule that if a mod is inactive for over 15 weeks their status as a mod is called into question, Zul was voted off the mod team.

New Roulette Board

Former CIA rat Larry Johnson on the Western response to the Crocus terror attack:
<I want to start, however, with the U.S. and Western insistence that this was an ISIS-K operation. How in the world did the U.S. determine that “fact” so quickly? Here is my suggestion (Note to Babylon Bee, feel free to steal) — the people who so quickly mustered still unseen evidence to conclude that it was not Ukraine, but a team of murdering Islamic extremists should be immediately assigned to conduct a similarly expedited analysis of who blew up NordStream. They should be able to get to the bottom of that by Monday morning. Once they’ve knocked that out then they should turn their attention to the Kennedy Assassination. It is about time we had some definitive answers on that. Their ability to ferret out the “truth” about who was responsible for the heinous attack before the attack had concluded and while suspects were still roaming the Crocus Concert facility shooting unarmed civilians suggests that they have some remote viewing capability that is world class.

Let's talk about real government conspiracies that actually happened.

MKULTRA: Sub project 68.

What is Mkultra?

>Project MKUltra—sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program—was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs, alcohol, stick and poke tattoos, and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps. The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities; in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.

>The scope of Project MKUltra was broad, with research undertaken at 80 institutions, including 44 colleges and universities, as well as hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies. The CIA operated through these institutions using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA’s involvement.


One of the most interesting things I find about mkultra that alot of people might not be aware of is its attachment to soviet cold war paranoia. The government (and many Americans at the time) were living in overwhelming fear at the time that the soviets could only be gaining as much ground as they were through some form of 'mind control' or 'brainwashing.' Once again this fear and paranoia about communism lead the American government to do some pretty nefarious things. Mkultra included dosing un-witting subjects such as prisoners, prostitutes and ordinary people with high levels of LSD (including non burgers like Canadians) wPost too long.

Nobody has any reason to believe it worked it never gets reproduced in controlled conditions.

What is a "Newtype" ?
I find it hard to believe any realistic science fiction would have psychics. Unless it's just biological wifi. Organic radio transmitters could be plausible. But that would be a ability similar to speaking/hearing in a different medium than air, not like magical powers.

Can't say that i have heard that. Lord of the rings would've been over in 5 minutes if it had just modern technology. Frodo takes the ring to a local metalwork shop and borrows an Oxyacetylene or plasma ark welder to melt the ring.

You're right about a lot of science fantasy entertainment, but try reading a proper hard scifi book, like Red Planet.

>Also, the more intellectual someone is, the more inclined they are to the superstitous/paranormal.

I grant you that many intellectuals are mysterians without any self awareness, but there are hardcore realists too.

the idea of an economic pendulum swinging between feudal and capitalist modes of production is interesting It certainly could describe a period of protracted struggle between the feudal and capitalist mode of productions, that may still be ongoing.

But perhaps not all of economic history, the obvious one is that in primitive societies all work was directly social and couldn't have been either. Socialism in the 20th century also does not fit.

Waffle House workers walked off on STRIKE in Atlanta to demand an end to mandatory meal deductions and to fight for better working conditions, higher wages, and a safe workplace.

Waffle House’s mandatory meal credit policy means that at least $3 dollars is deducted from workers’ pay every shift, regardless of whether we actually eat.

What are we doing about it??

A video game that nintendo had a legal distribution monopoly on was leaked ahead of the official release. They got really mad about that and they are trying to take it out on the video-game emulation communities, by attacking emulation related software projects on github.

So the lesson here is if you give companies like that money they are going to use it to attack your hobbies. I think this legitimizes "pirating" games because you have no legal option to buy these games without also supporting nintendo's legalistic mafia-terror.

If copy"right" wasn't set up like a monopoly, and you could buy these specific games from any distributor not just nintendo, so that you could choose to buy from non-mafia sellers, it would at least be logically possible to make a case against "piracy". But as long as that's not possible "piracy" is basically just self defense. Keep in mind that nintendo doesn't make games, it's just a legal entity, and not the same as the people that make the games like for example programmers and artists.

Obviously there also is the hole deal with DRM which is total hypocrisy, it basically attacks the concept of personal ownership of your possessions. It's property-rights for me but not for thee.

If they were to reform copy"right" and remove the distribution monopoly aspect, so that everybody with the means to distribute copies was free to do so as long as they gave royalties (as a form of revenue sharing) to the people who actually created the stuff that is being copied. Maybe that would work.

But as long as they keep the monopoly part "piracy" is basically just competing distributors that were arbitrarily banned from participating in the market. Some times people make the strange argument that pirates gain from the work of others but that's also true for the capitalists that own nintendo, by that logic all of nintendo's profits are pirated.

I sometimes feel like the copy-monopolists take the most extreme ideological positions, while we don't and that's why this hole shit drifts ever more towards reactionary insanity where Nintendo gets to rape random software devs on github as some kind of bully-frustration release mechanism and it's a crime if you play with toys "the wrong way". Maybe we should redefine piracy as everything that keeps works-of-art outside the creative-commons/public-domain and drm as a product defect. Maybe that will create a counter-weight.

that's true but for long term preservation it would probably be help-full if it was normie friendly, and you know preservation is easier if the preservers are not being persecuted.

Nintendoing it again.

This time they suing the FOSS emulation software called Yuzu for copyride encringement. Mind you Nintendidn't actually write any of that emulator software. Their copyplight is expanding, they're making claims towards stuff that other people made.

I think this isn't just them doing corporate litigation terrorism to stamp out stuff they don't like. Emulators might be one development path towards universal game-plattforms that make any game playable on any system/hardware as long as it's computationally power-full enough. Which would make video games become true commodities, and they don't like that at all, because their walled garden fiefdoms will look unappealing in comparison.

Manila: Protesters rallied against American presence in the Philippines on Tuesday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Manila to reinforce support against Chinese influence in the region.

The Philippines is Washington’s key security partner in Asia under a decades-long alliance, which allows the US to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and build and operate facilities on Philippine military bases.

In the past two years, the partnership has expanded under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who in February last year permitted American troops to increase their footprint in the country.

China claims the disputed area almost in entirety and its military activity in the territory has been increasing, regularly encroaching on the Philippine part of the waters, the West Philippine Sea.

“These waterways are critical to the Philippines, to its security, to its economy, but they’re also critical to the interests of the region, the United States and the world,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo.

“That’s why we stand with the Philippines and stand by our ironclad defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty.”

The 1951 agreement obliges the US to defend its ally in the case of external attack.

Philippine vessels have been regularly attacked by Chinese ships in the parts of the South China Sea that are internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines.

In Mississippi, six former sheriff's deputies have been sentenced to between 10 and 40 years in prison for raiding a home and torturing, shooting and sexually abusing two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, in January 2023. The six former deputies, all of whom are white, called themselves the "Goon Squad" and have been linked to at least four violent attacks on Black men since 2019. Two of the men attacked and tortured by the group subsequently died. To discuss the case and the verdict, we're joined by Eddie Parker and attorneys Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker. "Never have we seen this many police officers sentenced to this kind of time in one week," says Shabazz, who calls the verdict "historic." Jenkins, Parker and Shabazz are currently suing the Rankin County Sheriff's Department over its track record of civil rights violations and racist targeting of Black residents.

After this and the secret mass grave recently found behind the police station near Jackson, what's next for Mississippi?

The United States has positioned troops on a tiny island chain less than 6km from the Chinese coast, Taiwan has admitted.

In an apparent escalation of the American military presence in Taiwan, a Taiwanese defence minister told reporters the country was running an “exchange” with the US to “figure out how to improve” its military.

Although the US has announced it was training Taiwanese forces on the country’s main island, Formosa, the Pentagon has never acknowledged the presence of American troops on the Kinmen Islands, which lie 6km from the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen.

In response to reports that US special forces were operating on the islands, Chiu Kuo-cheng, the minister, admitted on Tuesday that his country’s military was learning from American forces there.

“This exchange is for mutual observation, to identify the problems we have, figure out how to improve and to recognise their strengths so we can learn from them,” he said.

“We can learn from each other to see what strengths we have. This is a fixed thing.”

The Kinmen Islands sit on the far side of the Taiwan Strait, the 177-km body of water that separates Taiwan and China. They are around 160km from Taiwan, but easily visible from the Chinese mainland.

Taiwan has stationed its own amphibious soldiers, known as “frogmen”, on both the Kinmen Islands and other outlying islands, amid concerns about a Chinese invasion that US officials have said could take place by 2027.

Dozens dead after gunmen open fire at Moscow concert hall, building set on fire

News reports say assailants attacked venue with automatic weapons, explosives

The Federal Security Service, Russia's top security agency, said there are dozens dead or wounded in a Moscow concert hall attack, Russian state news agencies reported Friday night, after several gunmen in combat fatigues burst into the venue and fired automatic weapons at the crowd.

Russian media outlets reported that between two to five assailants were involved in the attack and also used explosives, causing a massive blaze at the Crocus City Hall on the western edge of Moscow.

The attack took place as crowds gathered for a concert by Picnic, a famed Russian rock band, at the hall, which can accommodate over 6,000 people.

Russian news reports said visitors were being evacuated, but some said an unspecified number of people could have been trapped by the blaze.

Fire engulfed a third of the venue building, and its roof is almost completely engulfed in flames, state news agency TASS reported, adding that helicopters had been called in to help.

Shortly before 11:00 p.m. local time, Russia's Interfax news agency reported firefighting crews had contained the fire.

I'm just making assumptions based on what has been confirmed. This kind of attack is generally carried out by Islamists, and the gunmen were white, so that only leaves the Chechens. There is still a low-level IS insurgency fighting Russia in the caucuses too. Only earlier this month a few of them were killed by Russian security forces, and afterwards a Ukrainian-funded NGO were paying tribute to them on twitter.

>Chechens tend to be the most determined fighters of the Russian military now, actually.
Thousands of Chechens went to fight for Islamists in Iraq and Syria, and they made up the largest contingent of ISIL's foreign recruits. Chechen's are broadly supportive of Putin, but it only takes a few dissenters to carry out an attack like this.

Inviting China to the party ? I don't think they're that stupid.

Remember the failed color revolution in Hong Kong a couple of years back ? They stopped that without any police-state crack-down measures. The only other explanation is that they were able to find and shut down the CIA handler network that ran the op. That probably means massive amounts of field agents going on a spy-hunt. During the Hong Kong happening, Chinese counter intelligence probably didn't actively seek out to kill CIA handlers. But deadly attacks like that recent one in Moscow, that probably means a spy-war. The "normal" spy game is to have your guys find and fool their guys, not kill anybody. The CIA probably isn't very keen on having open hunting season on their guys by Iran, Russia and China all at once.

Putin says gunmen who raided Moscow concert hall tried to escape to Ukraine. Kyiv denies involvement

The suburban Moscow concert hall where gunmen opened fire on concertgoers was a blackened, smoldering ruin as the death toll in the attack surpassed 130 and Russian authorities arrested four suspects

MOSCOW – The suburban Moscow music hall where gunmen opened fire on concertgoers was a blackened, smoldering ruin Saturday as the death toll in the attack surpassed 130 and Russian authorities arrested four suspects. President Vladimir Putin claimed they were captured while fleeing to Ukraine.

Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in Friday's assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, and the Islamic State group's Afghanistan affiliate claimed responsibility.

Putin did not mention IS in his speech to the nation, and Kyiv accused him and other Russian politicians of falsely linking Ukraine to the assault to stoke fervor for Russia's war in Ukraine, which recently entered its third year.

U.S. intelligence officials confirmed the claim by the IS affiliate.

"ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.

The U.S. shared information with Russia in early March about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow and issued a public warning to Americans in Russia, Watson said.

Missouri jury finds NAR, brokerages guilty of conspiring to inflate commissions
>A Kansas City jury has found the National Association of Realtors, HomeServices of America and Keller Williams guilty of colluding to inflate or maintain high commission rates through NAR’s Clear Cooperation Rule, in the Sitzer/Burnett buyer broker commission lawsuit.

>The defendants have been ordered to pay damages of $1.78 billion. The jury reached its verdict after a little over two weeks of testimony from the plaintiffs and defendants. During their testimony, the home seller plaintiffs and their lead attorney Michael Ketchmark argued that despite the defendants having antitrust rules and regulations in place, the trade group and corporate brokerages knowingly violated their own rules in order to maintain high commission rates. Judge Stephen Bough, who is overseeing the suit, still needs to issue his final judgement on the case, before the verdict is final.

The Soviet prison system was progressive for it's time, they were the first that tried to rehabilitate people. Capitalist countries of the time didn't even conceive of that, their idea of prisons was containment and punishment. Soviet prison conditions were comparably good if you exclude the WW2 related period. They payed a inmate-workers 90% of the regular wage. Can't say that for privatized prisons in the US for example.

Yeah it feels very pushy, creepy and predatorial. Idk, should we consider privacy to be violated until organizations (state and private sector) prove that they're not collecting personal information ? Would that help? Should we change our conception of human rights as something that has to be created ?

> another patriot act

Yeah we have to figure out how to defeat fear-exploitation politics. I read a scholarly analysis about Osama Bin Laden, and apparently, he intended to make western society afraid of terror attacks in order to induce self destructive behavior by chasing after security. The reaction to 9.11 could have been "fuck you we're not afraid of you" and the WTC could have been rebuild in record time in the shape of the worlds largest middle finger. Why wasn't it ?

From a rational point of view terrorism is a negligible contributor to mortality, and it doesn't make sense to worry about it. Maybe we need to direct the irrational fear into a more useful direction. Maybe the energy that goes into surveillance, can be redirected into inventing something like a material-scanner. That type of instrument can be used as a weapons detector to foil terror attempts, but more importantly it's not limited to that kind of application. It can also be used to scan stuff for scientific reasons, or for finding mineral deposits and what not.

By the way surveillance as a mechanism to suppress a population is based on creating behavioral prediction models. If People just begin making random choices it stops working. Investing in material-scanners has the advantage that it generates objective data, surveillance can only produce correlative data.

Every culture has a fascination with primitive random number generators, like dice, coin-flips, there's a praxis of dropping a bunch of short sticks on the ground to count how many sticks end up overlapping each other. It's extremely common and I wonder if random decision making was an adaptation for avoiding predators. If you consult the magic sticks, flip a lucky coin, or role a dice of good fortune in order to determine what path you should take to get back to your village, the predator that wants to eat you has a much Post too long.

The only bright side that very few people saw coming that is just now coming out is the wide brush painting Islamic "extremists" are now being used for christians under the guise of going after Christian nationalists. I look forward to future Christians talking about their make believe Judgement Day and getting put on a homeland security list. When you really think about it, a lot of them do reach a criteria similar to how a lot of Muslims did and still do

It's all about oppression and power imbalances. The wokies just added more axes like gender, sexuality, race etc. Economic marxism made sense 200 years ago when everyone was forced to work or starve. But now you don't need a job anymore the government will pay you to play video games and watch porn all day. Nobody cares about the "class struggle" anymore. That's why marxism as a movement had to evolve and find some other "injustices" to get people riled up.

Hitler wasn't democratically elected. In Jan 1933 he was appointed as the big cheez by a guy called Paul von Hindenburg. The big bourgeoisie went mask off and just installed their fascist dictator into power by decree. Hitler had been loosing votes in the Nov 1932 election, less than half a year before that.

So in the copyrite regime everything that gets published gets copyrited by default, automatically, by the mere fact of publishing.

If somebody re-publishes something but fake-dates it to an earlier date than the original release. It creates contradicting copyrite claims.

This design flaw probably wasn't realistically going to be exploited in the analog days. But in the digital age where the copyrite regime has imposed many automatic guilty until proven innocent automatic copyrite censorship mechanisms. This can be exploited.

It could be avoided by creating a central copyrite claims office where people have to register for a copyrite claim. The central data-base would have an authoritative record of who actually published first, preventing contradicting claims. If copyrite claims have to be registered, they can't be the automatic default anymore. Many people simply would not bother registering. Many works would simply be released as public domain.

I'm sure people are abusing this already. However I'm wondering whether there is a way to use this to bring about beneficial changes to weaken the copyrite regime so it can't be used as a means for censorship, monopolism, frivolous litigation, etc.

Watched this yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a romance anime film, the story/writing is great - 8.5/10 for me. It's been a while since an ending made me feel anything, I fully teared up.

The only flaw it has is the MC is, as is soooo damn common in anime, a bit insufferable for how unappreciative he is towards the main girl. He literally acts like he doesn't like the girl that is taking initiative with him and invites him out on a date yet he keeps hanging out with her? Kinda rude if you ask me.

If you have a system that screws people over, it tends to attempt to demonize it's victims. If you partake in this praxis, you'll just making me think you're part of the perpetrators. People are what they are, you have to make the system fit the people, otherwise the system is wrong.

There is a kernel of truth in this sentiment.
We probably should invert some of the evaluations mechanic in education.
For example we could test explanations for their potential to enable children to learn and understand, rather than doing it the other way around.

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 24,000.

The US House, with Biden's support, approved more than $14,000,000,000 in military aid to Israel.

South Africa filed a case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza.

Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked cargo ships in the Red Sea in an attempt to disrupt the supply line of Israel's ongoing carpet bombing campaign against Gaza. The Biden admin has responded to the Houthis with a retaliatory bombing campaign.

400,000 marched in Washington DC in protest of Biden's support of Israel's genocide.

UK workers blockade factories accused of sending arms to Israel

Trade unionists in the UK are blockading weapons factories accused of alleged arms sales to Israel amid the devastating Gaza war.

Hundreds of trade unionists and workers have shut down arms factories in England and Scotland accused of supplying the Israeli military with essential components or weapons.

The action's stated aim is to disrupt the flow of arms to Israel as it prepares for a ground invasion of Rafah and to urge the UK government to support an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the workers' groups said.

It follows the Canadian government's announcement on Tuesday that it will halt future arms sales to Israel, having already reduced its weapons shipments to Israel to non-lethal equipment, such as radios, following the 7 October Hamas attacks.

Israel's war on Gaza has killed around 32,000 Palestinians, the vast majority women and children, while a blockade has led to deaths by starvation.

Workers, including teachers and artists who are members of trade unions, are shutting down GE Aviation Systems in Cheltenham and Leonardo UK in Edinburgh – factories that produce components for F-35 fighter jets, the world's most advanced fighter jet.

A Leonardo spokesperson told The New Arab: "This morning a group of protestors assembled outside the Edinburgh site. The safety and wellbeing of our employees, contractors, and neighbours is our first priority. Police were in attendance. Leonardo UK complies fully with all the UK Government's export control protocols, the legal obligations and the processes in place to operate those protocols."

The Zionist propaganda narrative pushers stand out like a sore thumb, the dumb fucks are so incredibly pushy, aggressive and downright grating, that they generate anti-zionism as a core value in people they touch.

I think the article somewhat misses the core of the problem. The problem isn't that they can create sock puppet accounts on social media to spread bullshit, the problem is that they're a military using information war-fare tactics against civilian populations. This is a problem in the military hierarchy failing their responsibility.

This is true. The fact that they have such a huge dedicated propaganda wing is an obvious problem, and it's a fact which their quislings in the west deliberately ignore.

How would they fight to keep it ? Create a picket-line and protest for turning the video-call software back on ? I don't see any potential in trying to make corporate bureaucracy go back to working from home. I don't see any hope you can convince big organizations to give up on having a special place/building, or just change them selves in general.

The potential benefit for workers is that they can create a coop even if they lack the capital to rent/buy office space. I see this as a mechanism for making boot-strapping easier, as in lowering the bar to entry. Like something people do in the beginning, to reduce costs.

So instead of seeking to change existing organizations, the goal should be creating new organizations, that's where this technology has it's strong points.
