Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

Thanks for providing this context. It reminds us that when Trump and other leaders speak, we have to ask, who is the audience? Too many people assume our leaders are addressing the American people, when they are often speaking to other leaders and the wealthy overlords pulling the strings.

He actually said that, but the quote is from presidential elections against Harris

The royal family has even moved to Brasil at one point.
Only to flee the Napoleonic wars.
ONE thing that is on display in this movie; is the attitude of who an "inventor" is.
Holmes is repeatedly referred to in this documentary as an "inventor". This isn't a claim the documentary spends any time on, but the few mentions it gets are like fingernails on chalkboard to me.
SHE dreamed of an impossible device that couldn't actually exist; and left it to engineers and biochemists to create something that could be said to approximately resemble the impossible device.
The prototype devices Theranos made; are not a direct product of her skills.
This is a mistake we're repeating in the present with genAI. The prompter is not creating, the algorithm is.
Jobs did not create the first Apple computer, Wozniac did.
The patron is not the artist.
@trashheap People do that with Musk to. They act like he invented and made the Tesla himself or the rockets. Hell, even Zuck stole Facebook.
@keefmarshall @ozzelot @bazkie @vbabka couldn’t resist, did a part 2 (missing a more recent part 3, and a fedi part 4 :)
Great album ⚡️⚡️⚡️

while partially true, there is a very big caveat, at first it wad not like that at all, it was a textbook extracvist colony, that could only trade with their colonizers directly, all foreign trade was mediated by portugal
and even after the crown of portugal moved to brazil and brazil gained status of kingdom, and in a personal union with with portugal (thus estabilishing the united kingdom of portugal and brazil), the majority of the population was still slaves and that will still be case for a long time, the now Kingdom of Brazil still operated mostly as a colony, just now the capital to which it responds to is Rio de Janeiro and not Lisbon
@q Is it possible to bridge an entire matrix room?

TBF Brazil is only richer than Portugal in terms of GDP, because it has like 15 times the population. Portugal still has twice the GDP (PPP) per capita of Brazil. Of course, in terms of politically power, Brazil dwarfs Portugal, which is probably more important for this particular issue.

Also no apology yet for continuing to materially support the ongoing genocide in Palestine by white fascist colonizers. Or for the 27 million Russians killed in WW2, the largest group of victims by far. Or for murdering over a million socialists. Or for financing and arming the anti-communist genocide in Indonesia in 1965/66. If Germany is anything, it’s consistent. Not one bit less eager to commit genocide today.
