> Supremacy is at the foundation of the whole "West" and racism will always exist while that's in play. If this is indeed the case, then it is very much not unique to the West, nor is it most tightly ingrained in the West.

I am a freedom fighter, you are a rebel, and he is a terrorist. You're edging on support of a terrorist state. The entire goal of groups like ICE is to instill terror. It doesn't get more terrorist than that.

You don't. You didn't know before either. The difference is trust. How do you trust it as much as you do the hypothetical humans making such representations? That's up to you.

Yes, that is about the single only upside to relying on US Big Tech rather than sovereign local tech. It doesn't nearly weigh up to the downsides, but it is a real thing. In Belgium's case though, even if every Belgian migrated iv
