No, Chomsky and Herman don’t apply here, It was Russia that started the war. The aggressor is Putin’s Russia. The “manufactured consent” -if at all- works here only with the tankies and other derailed communities.

[Edit typo.]

This is a good question. There’s is no reason why this -and a lot of other things imho- must be connected.

Amazon is donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration

Bezos and the company decided on the contribution earlier this week, and communicated it to Trump’s team, according to some of the people. “Bezos is donating through Amazon,” according to a person close to Bezos. Amazon also will stream the inauguration through its Prime Video business, a separate, in-kind donation valued at $1 million, another of the people said.

Seems to be sort of a flat rate.

Yeah, or the West would have reacted accordingly already in 2014.

That’s true. I corrected that now, thanks.

XMPP maybe?

I also tink SimpleX Chat is a good alternative.

I wouldn’t recommend Signal (only the client is open source, the server is from Amazon, and you have to provide your phone number).
