Democracy is non-negotiable

Direct message

I won’t deny it is a problem, since I know to what extent data is collected, and where it might go. I am only asking on your position with China doing the exact same thing.

I would’ve, but finnish law requires you to get permits for receiving donations, and Wikipedia doesn’t have them.

I couldn’t find a single mention of a fascist movement in the uprising. So either it was neglible in size, or you are just lying.

“Insufficiently oppressive”. What? Hungary was a really oppressive nation during that time, and you wanted it to be more oppressive?

And opressive to who? Fascist? They can just lie about not being a fascist. That leaves out to just guess who is a fascist and that sounds like a wonderful time for the citizens.

Patton really was correct about the Soviet Union.

Let’s take a look what started that “fascist” uprising. Years of economic mismanagement, opression, and being forced to pay a big chunk of their gdp to the Soviets for war reperations were all factors that lead to the Hungarian Revolution.

And who did these “fascist” pick as their leader? Imre Nagy, the man who was ousted from power by the soviets for having the audacity to be a more moderate communist than hardline stallinists.

The US doing something bad doesn’t justify someone else doing bad. Think about a nazi who uses that reasoning, they would sound like a nazi apologist.

Yes, the US did some bad stuff, but I still view them as the lesser evil when compared to the USSR or China.

Also Hungary doing something 65 years later doesn’t justify the actions of the Soviets.

Since no western news media is good enough for you, I will use the text that Snowden himself wrote in his autobiography, since you seem to classify him as a trustful source.

In his biography Snowden wrote that one of the motives for the leak was when he learned about the extent that China collected telephone and internet communications. He described the amount of data being collected to be appalling.

He wrote his while being in Russia, so there should have been minimal “western influence”.

Also Snowden lived in China for a while, so he does know his stuff.

Sounds plausible, but wouldn’t it cause the same types of effects in Bosnia if that were the case?

So what’s the difference between lead, tungsten, and depleted uranium? They all cause cancer and other symptoms, and both tungsten and depleted uranium must be decontaminated if the tank carrying them is destroyed.

And from what I’ve read you will die of the toxicity before you will die of the radiation.

Social media didn’t exist back in the Cold War, and if it did, the Soviets would have restricted it for being western, and made their own which was heavily censored and monitored just like the Chinese social media.

So I don’t get why this is a western problem if the other side would have done it as well given the chance, and the Chinese are actively doing it.

But I said that in my original comment, didn’t I? Maybe I just said it a but unclearly, since English isn’t my first language, but it’s there.

Here’s the part I mentioned it.

With the exception that you inhale it or eat it

In the follow follow up report they said that the risks of the DU dust causing any harm are minimal.
