Yeah the “defensive sovereignty” you get from nukes is a very different thing from the ability to be an effective empire.

Tough but neccessary read on the current high stakes situation x

Starting a couple of weeks ago, I've been publishing a long—but I think briskly paced!—look at a specific piece of recent technology history, which is the role that Meta, Facebook, and the internet more generally played in the persecution and genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. It's all up now.
