How The U.S. Is Finally Taking On Big Pharma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7VlsQSjhtE&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion
Biden and the Democrats finally implemented something that's been debated for decades — letting Medicare negotiate down the price of drugs.
Now big pharma is suing, calling it extortion. But they make billions charging Americans 3x what they charge in other countries.

We are all equipped with #choice. I came here for the #conversation, spent 2 minutes in the #confrontation, learned about #block and #mute and here we are.
I think #guidance on happy use of the Fediverse makes sense. Ppl coming here after years on #Farcebook and #xitter (pronounced Shitter in deference to #president #Xi), have gotten used to being torn apart over an asterisk or a comma.
Here it takes a moment to realise those people aren't here. They are still on #shitter.
Many folks, me included, didn't even know there was a word for #ablism for example. I do now and try to keep it in mind, simply because #someone pointed out of to me.
These #discussions can become the core of what the #Fediverse is so about.

Aus-Rotten - The System Works For Them (with intro)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H8N61v9Z9A&ab_channel=GrotesqueOrganDefilement
“Violence exists in certain social situations and it’s not a question of choosing to be violent or not violent.
When you’re putting forward the idea of a revolution, you have the responsibility to build, from the very beginning, the realization that no revolution can take place successfully without an armed confrontation with the State.
The imperialist power will fight as long as it can, with the most technological weapons that it has, and I feel that pacifism and non-violence becomes an excuse for not struggling, for not fulfilling what I feel as a human obligation in this world, to bring about a revolutionary change and to destroy the imperialist system.
We no longer wish to be treated as statistics.”

A quotation from Gaiman, Neil:
«««««
Richard did not believe in angels. He never had believed in angels. He was damned if he was going to start now. Still, it was much easier not to believe in something when it was not actually looking directly at you, and saying your name.

Now the #confrontation with #Russia has put war directly back on the political agenda. The question remains: What does this mean for #Europe? Can it guarantee its #security and how can it do so?
#confrontation #russia #europe #security
So first idea to change your #InnerSettings: When someone confronts you with dumb nonsense and causes #anger and #hate in you, you first thought must be: This guy wants me to turn angry and hateful. The moment you turn that he won. You should still fight these guys, but your argument basis should come out of a #happy heart. This will also #convince others not involved, that you must be right somehow, bc usually people don't believe angry folks. Also be reminded, such ppl. will with 90% probability not change their mind, but with 30% probability you might convince those passively watching.
So you do actually not address these guys because you wanna convince or kill him, but to take his stage away and place yourself on it 😇😜
#Confrontation #Fight #Argument how to fuck #TERFs, #Altright, and so on.
#innersettings #anger #hate #happy #convince #confrontation #fight #argument #terfs #altright
… But if you attempt #confrontation, please avoid being accusatory: instead calmly explain how the behaviour makes you feel.
When dealing with a passive-aggressive person, hold them accountable for their bad behaviour. Stop apologizing if you’ve done nothing wrong. Try putting your needs (not wants) first.

A valuable thing to keep in mind, anytime you feel the urge to react, ask yourself what do you want to achieve.

With all the #drama between the #modigovernment and #bigtech, any wonder about feeling there's more here.
Whether it is the #confrontation with #twitter over #freespeech, or the #tussle with #meta about concerns over #whatsapp #privacy, the #indiangovernment is hard at it.
Moreover, the back and forth around the #personaldataprotection #bill, along with issues related to #data #localisation, there sure seems to be an #agenda at work.

#Churchill speech & Ukraine war footage
Don't forget that the future of #Europe and the entire free world is being fought for in #Ukraine.
With the policy of #appeasement and #fear of #confrontation, we have once again created an #enemy who despises us, wants to destroy us and does the impression that the right of the stronger decides, not the people & law.
Can we unite again and patiently endure hardships (even from economic point of view only) as our grandfathers did - risking their lives?

The advice I found helpful was to #avoid direct #confrontation, as you're likely to meet #resistance from #egos. You can better gain #cooperation by working around, "flanking" egos. You're not #manipulating the person b/c your #goals are the same. What's good for you is good for him and any other team members you may have. You're thinking of everyone's benefit, not your own, though when #everyone #benefits, so do you.
