Capitalism to fascism in a nutshell

> be a capitalist state
⠀
> capitalist ruling class cuts public funding, lowers wages to increase profits for themselves
⠀
> resulting lower living conditions makes working class organize to overthrow capitalist rule
⠀
> ruling capitalist class crushes the leftist movements because they harm capitalists
⠀
> some capitalists blame already marginalized people for the problems to scapegoat them and shift the blame
⠀
> fascists rally people around this idea and make up myths about the country being great before these marginalized people got involved
⠀
> fascists are voted into power since socialist movements have been crushed, and not stopped by the ruling capitalist class because capitalists are not harmed

> country is now a fascist state

"…the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ ”

They're funding a literal genocide against muslims right now so this isn't much of a surprise. Anyone attending that to show support for that genocidal maniac would be like that.

Colombia bans coal exports to 'Israel' over the ongoing Gaza genocide in c/[email protected]

Wow. AFAIK Colombia has been israel's largest coal supplier, while the next largest suppliers are South Africa (ironically enough) and Russia, so this could be a pretty big deal.

South Africa and Russia have an opportunity to do something extremely funny rn

Inevitable for some soldiers to go against instructions. Can't imagine what it's like to hear your two children have been killed...

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads (www.windowscentral.com)

Google's campaign against ad blockers across its services just got more aggressive. According to a report by PC World, the company has made some alterations to its extension support on Google Chrome.

Google Chrome recently changed its extension support from the Manifest V2 framework to the new Manifest V3 framework. The browser policy changes will impact one of the most popular adblockers (arguably), uBlock Origin.

The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can't use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it "presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions." The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Over 30 million Google Chrome users use uBlock Origin, but the tool will be automatically disabled soon via an update. Google will let users enable the feature via the settings for a limited period before it's completely scrapped. From this point, users will be forced to switch to another browser or choose another ad blocker.

Bangladesh PM Hasina quits and flees as protesters storm palace (www.aljazeera.com)

Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country in the face of ongoing protests.

The longtime leader of the country has boarded a military helicopter, an aide told Al Jazeera, after crowds ignored a national curfew to storm the prime minister’s palace in Dhaka on Monday.

Close to 300 people have died amid weeks of protest the authorities have sought to crush. Following a night of deadly violence that killed close to 100 on Sunday, tension had remained high on Monday as protesters called for a march on Dhaka and the army prepared to address the nation.

By early afternoon, however, media reported that the mood on the streets had turned to one of celebration after the news of Hasina’s departure spread.

In an address to the nation, General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the Chief of Army Staff, confirmed that the prime minister has resigned and that an interim government will now run the country.

Protests in the country started a months ago over controversial governmental job quotas. They soon morphed into a nationwide unrest and into an unprecedented uprising against Hasina and her ruling Awami League party.
