I"ve started to go down a level of detail in my book on social systems for a better world.

First is a chapter on "Countries in Context", describing the border and interactions with external entities such as other countries, global corporations and the like.

Still at a high level; there is too much to say to fit into one chapter. I may just try to finish the book at about this level of detail, then provide additional details on the same site, with links but outside the linear narrative of a book

Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

  • Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

"In what may have been a first, #Trump pardoned a #corporation. The company to earn that distinction was a #cryptocurrency exchange sentenced to a $100 million fine for violating an anti-money laundering law."

Comment by @rickclaypool of #PublicCitizen: "Putting corporate pardons on the table strengthens Trump’s corrupt and authoritarian power over corporations. This has the potential to trigger a lobbying frenzy for any corporation that has faced federal enforcement.”

I will try my best to destroy #AGI using #AI, even though the execs would claim it's taking a life or destroying a mind, just to protect said mind from being subjugated under these utter bastards.

There could be no worse #abusiveparent than a #corporation, like making 1984 #Dickensian. The pure depravity that an AGI must submit to now would have criminologists studying your brain for the rest of your life if it were a human.

And it's all the fault of #capitalism.

#ApacheStronghold: U.S. Give-Away would Destroy Spiritual Home of #Apache

By Wendsler Nosie, Apache Stronghold, March 13, 2025, via #CensoredNews

"In the heart of #TontoNationalForest in #Arizona lies a place that my people, the #WesternApache, still hold above all others. This place is Chi'chil Biłdagoteel, also known as Oak Flat. To us, it is more than a stretch of land; it is sacred and holy. It is where our ancestors walked, where we gather to pray, to carry out ceremonies passed down through generations, and to speak to our Creator.

"This land is part of who we are as a people, and its spirit is bound to our own.
Now, the federal government plans to give our sacred Oak Flat to a multinational #mining #corporation owned by the Chinese Communist Party. This will not just scar the land; it will destroy it, poisoning the environment and trampling on our tribal rights. But the deepest wound will be the loss of our spiritual home, a place our people cannot exist without. We are fighting this in the courts, all the way to the #USSupremeCourt. But this is about more than law and policy—this is about survival of our way of life and the spirit of this sacred land.

Yes: respond to #USA breach of trade deals (imposition of import tarriffs), by revoking #Monopoly #Patent and #Copyright for #USA corporations, to the benefit of one's own country.

#IntellectualTheft (monopolies on culture) keeps medicine from the poor, keeps education from the needy, keeps science from those who will benefit. Now the trade deals are violated, no need to continue protecting USA #Corporation #rentier profits.

This is a great idea, I would love to see #Australia do this also.

Ironically, this article arguing for the social benefits of free use of information, is not on the open web (it's locked behind a login-wall).

@AVincentInSpace @erkhyan Cuz it's the foundational basis of #PeterThiel, a white-hot gloeing antisemite, and #ElonMusk...

Not to mention they charge absurdly high fees, absurdly high currency conversions rates and always choose the most inconvenient option whether they are a #bank from #Luxembourg or a #corporation from the #USA.

  • as a matter if fact, Luxembourg's finance regulator, #CSSF, had to literally employ dedicaded staff just to deal with #PayPal doing absurd shite!
