Among the many false claims made by various #government media, #corporate media and social #media commentators, such as the UK being a "Liberal Democracy," we are also told how terrible the #capitalist #system in the #UK is and how we need more #Socialism to save us.

While I do agree that crony capitalism and #monopoly capitalism are indeed terrible, we don't actually live in a capitalist economic system, we live in a mixed Capitalist/Socialist #economy, where for the last two sociological generations or more, government spending has comprised more than 40% of all economic activity in the UK.

Why just why is Israel so freaking above all international laws and impune?

Any other country in the world had done even a fraction of the comes Israel have comitted just in the past 6 months (not to mention any of the crime before that) would have been treated like a pariah state, sanctioned and boycotted to total collapse.

But something is making israel untouchable. Is it the Holocaust guilt? Is it blackmail?is if money?

I have been asking those questions all my adult life, starting from the invasion of Lebanon and the Sabra and Chatila massacre that went unpunished even today.

In the context of the VMware takeover and the change in business #strategy, Broadcom's contempt and brutality towards its #customers are unprecedented in the recent history of the #digital #economy in #Europe.
