a lot of pakistans intelligence services are financed by the cia (seriously, search it) and it is well-documented that the 'militants' coming over the border r paki agents. the dick swinging is over ownership of Kashmir, and no surprises, US-published maps of India do not include Kashmir as part of it. and india is never the aggressor in borded encounters, this is verifiably true.
please i sincerely request u to watch this - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHzAinRH4g - to see the sort of propoganda us regularly engages in to dupe the global discourse. it is a very intense 1 hr watch and i daresay ull enjoy it more than many movies. noone has anything against americans themselves. just that their money is going to finance a govt that is increasingly mort aggressive at establishing global domminance, and that too using underhand tactics. please watch it and tell me ur opinion of it. my american friends liked it a lot.
>but they have a looooooooooooot of work left to do to become anything close to a first-world nation.
ur bias is leaking. being a 'first world' nation (a very arbitrary classification in the first place) is not a necessarily desirable attribute for a country to have. u can keep ur defacto oligarchy, ur mind numbing culture and media, which brainwashes citizens to conform and support foreign wars at enormous expense to human life and effort (through wasted tax money), let us keep our poverty, culture, and sane values...
normally i wouldnt be so forthright and defensive, but the arrogant blindness of the comment really struck me as needing a counter, however unsupported by sources it may be (at this point, the futility and greed behind these wars and the global interference of wester nations, one in particular, is common knowledge).
i think thats exactly what he was saying. the part about 'sedating the masses' is also very apparent when u look at the robotic and homogenous modes of behaviour and 'exploration' promoted at school. they are also trying very hard to reduce interaction of kids with people outside their age group or level (including parents) which drastically cuts down on learning things in life that school will never teach u.
if that were to be true (elite not 'growing' at the masses' expense) it would have already happened. modern world is essentially what u describe, elites, lesser elites and then the struggling commons.
irony here is that parent user's id is the name of the publishing house which is one of the chief competitors to cbse, especially when it comes to high school books.
this is better than the NYT article. i don't understand how it can consider regulation though, when the only currency onvolved is the user's attention, and they are their own federal reserves. does the web physically make us addicted, like cigarettes, to the point of unpleasantness when not indulging in the activity, or does it just form patterns pf behaviour that can be easily broken, provided one is _conscious_ of them?
ha, if they filter that, it will be the ultimate red flag. i read an article on prisonplanet.com that said they removed them, and cnet.com from search listings on the front page because they published some critical articles involving google and the 'see aye lmao' (three letters)
