Parts of the Kremlin hated him for treason, parts supported him. The Russian general who was recently fired supposedly supported Wagner, along with a number of others in the military. That’s why he took Rostov-on-Don so easily.
Different things to get the ire of both. He’s widely loathed outside of Russia, to include here, for the brutality that the PMC he ran was known for. He got the ire of Putin for recently using that same PMC to try a rebellion against his government.
First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.
Then you cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way.
The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.
It reminds me of that old joke of the 2 scientists studying a fly.
Scientist 1: Fly, fly! Scientist 2: When fly has two wings fly flies 2 feet.
Scientist 1: pulls off one wing and says Fly, Fly! Scientist 2: When fly has 1 wing, fly flies 1 foot
Scientist 1: pulls off the other wing and says, Fly, fly!. Nothing happens Scientist 1 Fly, Fly! Nothing happens Scientist 1 showing frustration> FLY! FLY! Scientist 2: When fly has no wings, fly becomes deaf.
I mean, it’s been a well known fact that the NSA has been intercepting and logging all domestic internet/mobile traffic since Snowden. I bet there are over 16m dick pics sent in the US on a daily basis.
I know but I think the general public doesn’t know or understand this. It’s still not exactly admitted as a general thing how this works. Apple and other companies usually talk about how they are resisting to give out access etc.
But yeah, nsa can probably access all windows and Mac systems. I don’t think Linux though. Not counting Intel Management Engine in the cpu.
A lot of that info was known over a year before that even. Wired did a cover story that apparently got no attention from anyone but me… www.wired.com/2012/03/ff-nsadatacenter/
I remember another story as well, where the journalist actually walked up the hill that blocked the view of the facility and saw the construction. It had about the same focus, but didn’t go into as much detail on the computing side of the NSA, just their storage capabilities.
The knowledge that a government agency is recording everything is one of those existential horrors that slowly fades and just quietly lurks in your mind, hidden beneath the daily struggles and interests.
It predates your story by at least five years, 2007, when a Silicon Valley engineer revealed that a backbone line had been spliced and all traffic was passing to government machines.
That revelation also inspired an outraged public backlash of ‘meh.’
Sad part is that it could be real these days. If they just used slightly less obvious language, so people are not certain what it means exactly. Microsoft and google are working with nsa of course, and Snowden showed that any nsa employee can look at anything.
Anyone can design a 70 mile long aqueduct. It takes a skilled engineer to design a 70 mile long aqueduct using the minimal amount of materials necessary.
I keep hoping we’ll get off this planet and seed others so people can stop bickering and shooting over land lines on the same rock, but it’s getting harder and harder to find people willing to work for the greater good (not that one) and move forward as a species.
The fact I put a disclaimer in and you all still went right to Cornetto…that’s the stuff that makes the interwebs fun and I’m glad to see it on Lemmy 👍
There’s been tons of anti-American propaganda social media for at least eight years. The CCP and Kremlin realized they could divide Americans from within through social media.
I do agree to a point. But I also think America has organized crime issu s they hide. And that organized crime gets played out from other countries leaders.
It’s not as simple as blaming Russia or America. It’s all so intertwined and knotted it’s almost impossible to fix. I definitely see relation between the way some Republicans strike that… Politicians and business men act that is in line with the way I’ve authentic crime take power. It’s fucked. There’s an underworld right under everyone’s noses but they just don’t want to believe humanity isn’t as secure as their governments make them believe.
So a more pinpointed response… People are getting played by both Americans and Russians (and other countries) they use criminals and down trodden people to do their work. Same as the drug game. Get a sucker hooked on meth and make em your removed via extortion and death threats. Just looking at American politicians I can see them being so naive that they get played by criminals and they don’t even understand because they grew up posh and never knew how raw the world really is… Then they are doomed to be the removed of the mob or have their their family killed by the mob… For them they have to push the rhetoric or get themselves or their family killed.
I’ve seen more street life than I should have… Live is fucked to the core.
I’d like to think I’m just delusional… But life keeps proving me it’s reality.
It’s all “the game” as rappers say… And most of us are naive to it while we work for them or just out right enslaved by them.
Note that the German words for second person “have” (hast) and “hate” (hasst) are near-identical homophones, so when forced to choose between a literal translation or keeping the intentional secondary aspect in, they opted for the latter
