For the most part, they’re not specifically supporting the Israeli government. They have endowment funds, which they invest in mutual funds and other such financial instruments, like everyone else. Those mutual funds, in turn, invest money in a huge array of different stocks, bonds, etc, generally with the goal of producing a decent return with a minimum amount of risk. Buried somewhere in that pile of investments are things like Israeli government bonds, shares in defense contractors, etc, because political priorities are not usually a factor in how mutual funds decide where to put their money.
Yeah, it has all the same problems that (pre-Musk) Twitter did. Centralization was never the problem, turns out. IMO it’s just the basic central premise that everyone is talking to everyone, all the time. When your brain does that, it’s called a seizure.
Plus tons and tons of furries, which like… you do you, but it becomes a huge ongoing effort just to keep furry porn out of a lot of the feeds, if that’s not your bag.
Your premise is wrong in like… A bunch of ways. We sure as shit do not live in a post-scarcity society lol
Can we also talk about how absurd that picture at the bottom of the login page is? It looks like something a warez site would have as its landing page in like 2003. Made by some guy named xXx_l33tz3r0_xXx
“digestible” and “nutritious” aren’t social constructs, so no. If your body can transform it chemically in a way that produces energy, it’s food. Otherwise it’s not. The same things are food regardless of your culture.
