Well, until these mirrors are created my statement is valid, I guess.

Kinda toxic, but okay. Fair enough. Good luck in your work and staying anonymous.

Surveillance methods evolve way too rapidly.

Sadly, but ml instance has also communities that are focused on non-political themes like tech stuff, so for now it has sense to block each community on ml except the normal ones.

I know that we can, but, sadly, there do exist people that are actively trying to prevent us from having it with all their might.

Maybe you have examples that would disprove or correct my statement? Because of I cannot think of any reason that stops any social media(private or public) to freely analyze our data however they want.

I guess that any tech has no real privacy unless you don't use Internet at all. The only difference is that EU publically stated this fact, while others pretend to keep your info private.

But, aternatively, this can also mean that we have some moles in the EU, who are desperate to spread cyber control onto Europe also.

Article has some passively-aggressive tone, despite trying to be neutral.

Thanks.

I only provided a short summary. I don't know the answer. You are welcome to watch a full video on YouTube and ask its author the same question.

It was never trully about guns. The whole situation appeared mostly because of skilled people with decent quality 3D printing equipment are able to repair and recreate products for mere fraction of a cost, compared to what greedy corporations are asking you to pay. Which hurts their business models.

This article is located on the paid platform. Can you, please, copy its text here in comment section? Thanks.

Yes.

Requires a 3D printer to program.

Now you have got my attention.

Little clarification: I am a little too lazy to discuss this theme, so I just dropped an automated summary for other to deal with it. Because of more people would prefer reading a few hundred words instead of watching nearly a hour long video. So have fun without me :)

For lazy people here is a short summary of this video from YouTube's summarize option:

This video by Politically Depressed provides a critical analysis of the term "tankie" and the political phenomenon of "campism," viewed through the lens of a leftist activist from the Global South. The author shares their own personal journey, detailing how their perspective evolved from being inspired by Noam Chomsky's theories to becoming disillusioned with them during the revolutionary events in Lebanon (2019).

Key topics covered in the video:

What is a "tankie"? (09:27 - 19:21): Historically, the term originated after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was crushed by Soviet tanks. Today, the author defines "tankies" as those who blindly support any regime that opposes the United States, often ignoring the genuine suffering of local populations living under those regimes.

Campism as a better term (19:21 - 31:45): The author argues that "campism"—the idea of splitting the world into two warring camps (imperialist vs. anti-imperialist)—is a more accurate term for this worldview. They criticize the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic, noting that it frequently leads to the justification of authoritarian dictatorships.

Is campism harmful? (31:45 - 45:37): The author explains how campism hinders true international solidarity. They critique how Western leftists often ignore the voices of people in the Middle East (specifically Syria, Iran, and Lebanon), attempting to force complex local struggles into a simplistic geopolitical framework.

Towards an "internationalism from below" (45:37 - 57:03): The author calls for moving away from personality cults—specifically referencing the need to "kill your daddies" (the act of breaking away from blind adherence to intellectual authorities like Chomsky)—and instead focusing on building horizontal solidarity among movements and communities worldwide.

Key Takeaway: The author concludes that a genuine fight against imperialism and capitalism requires "internationalism from below"—prioritizing mutual support among people rather than blind loyalty to geopolitical blocs or states.
