I don’t really understand the bénef of a central bank digital currency.
It benefits the 1% of the population by controlling all the rest of us. It’s a two-tier system (retail CBDCs and wholesale CBDCs) and this is something that is rarely mentioned in mainstream articles.
Retail CBDCs will be linked to your digital ID and your digital wallet, and even tho the implementation may differ from country to country (i.e. Sweden’s e-krona vs China’s digital Yuan), the thing that will be common is that a centralised entity, will have total control of your digital wallet, including your ID & money.
When the conversation is about wholesale CBDCs, the talk is about how to make things easier for bank interoperability as well as how to facilitate the super-rich.

Still, I’ll wait and see what the US-backed state of Israel has to say about it. US has lied so many times so far on that, that I don’t trust their claims.
If you don’t like how it sounds describing what the US backed state of Israel is doing, maybe you should talk to them.
Apart from that, let’s see your points one by one.
food aid massacre
Other related content has titles such as:
Carnage at Gaza food aid site amid Israeli gunfire. Here’s what we know - CNNSo it looks like food aid massacre is valid after all.
4 children starve
Well it’s actually: 4 More Children Starve to Death
Would you prefer this one?
Gaza: Worst famine fears realised as 10th child reportedly ‘starves to death’ - UN News“injured Palestinian”
You deny they are injured or that Palestinians exist? Or that there are no Palestinians, only terrorists?
All readings of what you say are tragic btw.For the last 2 I’ll only say: you deny that Palestinians are trying to survive in agony? Due to killings/bombings/starving, Genocide I mean.
So the US gives some food to Palestinians, and plenty of bombs & money to Zionists (while they are accused of Genocide and ICJ said “plaussible” they are doing one).
I think I will start using the acronym USBSI (US Backed State of Israel). UBSI maybe? I dunno, open to suggestions!
Seems kinda reasonable. Hamas probably killed them sadly
Why would you assume that and not that they were bombed by the US-backed state of Israel? Zionists often kill Israelis.

[I’m stopping editing to add articles. There are just so many on the topic]
South America has issues with colonial border since the europeans colonisers left, and later on also due to US intervensions. Nicaragua has additionally a horrifying past from the Sandinistas revolution -supported by people from all over the world- that succeeded and turned authoritarian, as they do. Not that long ago. Many people who fought in it are still alive. To my understanding they still suffer the consequences.
In order for the US-backed state of Israel to stop killing and starving civilians and children, all other countries need to demand it by diplomatic pressures, economic sanctions, boycott etc.
Thank you, it’s good to know these things.
Israel is well known for its pinkwashing and greenwashing.
Is there already a term like war-washing or we’re gonna have to invent one to describe what Israel is doing?
Dammit. Which politics [kbin, lemmy.world, chirp.social etc]?
Thanks for the clarifications. Of course noone can be responsible for stuff that happened before their lifetime.
Our responsibility lays on to how we address this colonial past. The way I see things, we need to face it and address it, not put it under the rug. It’s the least we can do and its important to do so for the millions of people around the world who were not alive then, but still have to live/survive the outcomes of colonial past policies. Racism would be one of them, the list is long.
To my understanding forza nuova was gaining a tiny percentage in elections, bellow 0.30%. Meloni is the prime minister.
I’m not sure I understand what you say?
In the birth-place of fascism, they have elected a fascist. Fascists have historically supported Zionism, not Palestine. For me the fact that students in Italy protest for Palestine is loud enough to give me hope.
This article doesn’t mention that -once more- this famine is due to british colonial biopolitics:
The colonial strategies and utilitarian principles by the British authorities exacerbated the Bengal famine. Utilizing Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, I point out how the British viewed Indian bodies discursively. To reaffirm their sense of superiority, they reduced their Indian subjects to animal-like beings’ incapable of controlling their own reproduction.
That’s what Haaretz wrote:
According to a police source, the investigation also indicates that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants.
I totally see point. Maybe if Hebrew was called an Israeli language it would have been a more accurate term?
Ghil’ad Zuckermann, a 35-year-old graduate of Tel Aviv University with doctorates from Oxford and Cambridge, argues that modern Hebrew should be renamed “Israeli” and give up its claim of pure descent from holy writ.
“Israelis are brainwashed to believe they speak the same language as (the prophet) Isaiah, a purely Semitic language, but this is false,” Zuckermann told Reuters during a lecture tour to promote his soon-to-be-published polemic “Hebrew as Myth”.For Zuckermann, the proof of linguistic discontinuity between ancient and modern Israel is that Hebrew had to be revived, by 19th-century Zionist pioneers and lexicographers, after 1,700 years in which it was no one’s native tongue.
from Hebrew or Israeli? Linguist stirs Zionist debate - Reuters - 2007
Smotrich last year claimed:
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language,” he said in France late Sunday. He spoke at a memorial event for a French-Israeli right-wing activist who denied the existence of a Palestinian nation and advocated annexation of the West Bank. The lectern was adorned with what appeared to be an image showing the map of Israel that included the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Jordan.
