11:37:13 I think it's going to be freezing this winter. 11:38:15 @israelrussiakorea:matrix.org: That should clear out the homeless encampments. 11:38:26 I hope Israel and Russia cooperate to bring fuel prices down. 11:38:42 more room to add taxes 11:42:12 I wish something fun like that would happen here in Korea, too. I heard that hundreds of thousands of people are out on the streets in France wearing costumes. 11:42:56 @skitzomaxxing:matrix.org: in what country 11:44:10 @israelrussiakorea:matrix.org: do they like chess in korea 11:45:19 dead internet theory strikes again 11:45:46 Nah, people here are still a bit bummed out from when AlphaGo played against the Korean Go master back during the COVID era. 11:46:00 @israelrussiakorea:matrix.org: The Israeli rightwing is intent on economically isolating Israel, the left would likely avoid directly cooperating with Russia. Why should Israel cooperate specifically with Russia? 11:46:39 SyntheticBird: The people who think the internet used to be a vibrant place probably weren't using it then lol 11:46:57 SyntheticBird: How so? 11:49:46 Why should Israel cooperate specifically with Russia? <- my answer -> Because Israel might actually want to betray the US. They'll steal Middle Eastern hegemony away from the US, which is why their relationship with Russia might not turn out that bad after all. 11:52:21 @skitzomaxxing:matrix.org: It's definitely that it was more usable when people weren't entirely concentrated in 2-3 social media apps. That are driven by algorithms that hide discussion and isolate used, (sometimes referred to as users) and are entirely off-limits to anyone willing to protect freedom or privacy. 11:52:21 I know I am preaching to the choir here, but this is unironically how you can explain the issue to zoomers, and maybe even alphers. 11:53:51 Since the early 1900s, Israel rebuilt its nation and grew its national strength with its characteristic persistence. And now, they probably want to take over the entire Middle East. That is simply the kind of people they have always been. They are not American puppets; they are the chosen people of God. LOL 11:56:22 I think two Jewish people just left this room. (Sorry to the host!) 11:57:41 @magrefa:pub.solar: people just used irc and forums, almost the same thing 11:58:21 @israelrussiakorea:matrix.org: The average Israeli is more supportive of Trump than he is supportive of any of their political parties right now. Republican rhetoric is imported - ironically by a small few Jewish Russian Oligarchs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzchak_Mirilashvili) - and used to paint Trump as a massiah. 11:58:22 Until the left succeeds in creating alternatives to the channel 14 empire - you will not see this rhetoric and worship lessen... 12:00:35 Also Trump really did just manage to assist them in, and end one of their bloodiest wars in recent history... And the average Israeli parent would like his children alive... 12:01:09 #monero-offtopic 12:01:38 Throughout history, national elites have always tried to monitor what the public pays attention to and dictate what they should believe. At some point, they will shift the direction of public thought. The bottom line is that the minds of the elites and the minds of the masses are different. 12:01:42 selsta: Oh right, sorry lads, I was not aware of the other channel. 12:01:56 OH SORRY 12:04:20 we should make a monero-pol channel at this point 12:04:43 cool
