  • Lawlessness in Pakistan has gotten out of control. Some of the political parties (TLP for instance, they brought the whole country to halt when courts lawfully decided to absolve asia bibi (another blasphemy case)) that support this kind of justice were installed/supported by the military to undermine the then democratic government (PTI).

    There was similar propaganda done when the military decided to align themselves with china and away from the US influence. Basically, it’s a lot easier to control people with this kind of mindset.

    In pakistan, the military always portrays themselves as muslims first and have integrated islam in their image and then they intentionally force law enforcement actions against individuals like this until they are no longer useful to them.

    If want to look up some mafia level shit on how they do some of this stuff, look up raftar channel on yt (dunno if it is available in english), but i can tell you he doesn’t even go into the bad stuff.

    Not quite, in order to have a technology you need methods, materials and society needs to be ready for the tech.

    I recently learned that 50 years ago someone filed a patent for solar panels with more than 20% efficiency and the us government was like yeah its too revolutionary so you can’t sell this nor tell anyone about this unless it is US military. Imagine we all could have had >20% solar panels 50 years ago, even today we are only marginally above 20% efficiency.

    Another example, would be the company who made the iPhone like device well before iPhone but the market wasn’t ready.

    Another example that is fucked up. Governments are starting to restrict AI for consumers but also using AI to kill children in Gaza.

    I’m pretty sure a lot early doctors were also burned at stakes because they were called witches or smth.
