This is a *very* sinister development & one that imo is leading us down the path to full-blown Palantir-enabled fascism!
You only need to check out what’s going down in TrumpLand (see below), building upon lessons learned during the #PalestinianGenocide (viz #Lavender & #WheresDaddy), to envision the road the #MetPolice are taking us down!!!

“‘At the Request of Israel’: US Legal Memo Reveals Reason behind War on Iran”

“A US State Department legal memorandum has revealed that the so-called Operation Epic Fury, launched on February 28, was carried out ‘at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally,’ directly contradicting repeated public claims by US President Donald Trump that Washington acted independently in its war against Iran.
The document [..] framing the military campaign not as a unilateral American decision, but as part of a coordinated war effort aligned with Israeli objectives”

“- News Agency dismissed reports linking Abbas Araghchi’s tour to direct US negotiations as ‘pure nonsense.’
- Tehran said Araghchi’s visits to Pakistan, Oman, and Russia are part of routine bilateral diplomatic consultations, not a negotiating mission.
- President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after a shooting incident at the venue.
- Trump said the suspected gunman had been apprehended and praised the Secret Service response”

And again, I remind everyone to check stuff before you rage post about it. Actually, especially if you're about to rage post about it. Anger bypasses cognitive inhibition mechanisms and accelerates misinformation sharing.

Auch Mastodon ist eine "stabile Misstrauensinfrastuktur". Eine "Misstrauensgemeinschaft".
https://www.deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/krise-der-demokratie-warum-unsere-gesellschaft-vertrauen-braucht
Hier sammeln sich all die, die "wissen", dass "die da oben" "böse Absichten" haben. OK, hier sind auch Menschen, die keine politische "Autoimmunerkrankung" haben. Aber dennoch sind die Misstrauenden hier eindeutig dominant.
Vertrauen in Institutionen und Demokratie sind aber überlebensnotwendig.
