Just referencing common jokes some nations have about other nations, the french all surrender, the Japanese are horny for school girls, the british have bad teeth, Americans are all loud... that sort of thing.
For Germans it's that you invented scat tables (glass tables) to watch your sex partner shit on you.
This is pre-internet lore, so probably formulated from German inclinations towards rationality and self-examination, sprinkled with some WW2 stuff, and some actual stuff about porn/bondage communities.
It's probably better left in the past, even if it's still a cultural reference that can be used.
The article makes it clear that the Chinese botnet is targeting Microsoft azure accounts, usually for large organizations involved with governments, infrastructure, legal professionals, science and technology.
It also states that the attacks can be disinfected by regularly restarting your router, but that this doesn't prevent reinfection later.
The US intelligence services also says you should regularly restart your phone.
This is Microsoft's posting about it which other news sources are quoting from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/31/chinese-threat-actor-storm-0940-uses-credentials-from-password-spray-attacks-from-a-covert-network/
It has a recommendations section which suggests "credential hygiene" and strong passwords help.
Zizek has commented on the nature of ideology in Western European societies in relation to how their toilets deal with shit.

It suggests a fetish for examination.
Or is that the good twin lying to preserve the possibility of good in his evil brother. Without the evil one knowing he's tested positive as such, will he still be evil?
Are these categories actually, self fulfilling proficiencies that don't serve the cultivation of humanity, and may infact, work against it?
In this way, it may be a depiction of self-sacrifice.
Addicted to Craps, I gotta throw a couple each day, butt when I think about it - it's really money down the toilet.
He's got issues.
Migrants from war torn countries unfortunately. In some communities there's a lot of people with birthdays on Jan 1st, because they don't know their birthdates. Quite common for Sudanese refugees (places with child soldiers or where family/parent based killing happened).
It's tough out there in the world.
Counterpoint, there are also games you tried and HATED as a kid, that you might now like as an adult.
As I kid I had a lot less need for quality story telling, and roll play, probably a lot less interest in gardening simulators too. There's probably lots of stuff you thought you didn't like.
...yes, which is what the military industrial complex wants, which is why they developed the virus! It creates a forever war, with no real victims. Only an ever expanding number of enemy combatants!
Think of the profits! The constant sale of more weapons!...and they'll never get into MY bunker! Because it's in New Zealand!
I figure they need Trump to also do a bunch of crimes when he's in office before they pull the plug on him... That way he can blamed whilst they keep all the power.
The fridge is a big pump, it needs to circulate... It's when it sits idle for too long that it risks death!
They didn't shoot survivors - they shot zombies to be. It was pre-emptive.
Trump has Musk and Murdoch money behind him. Vance's life up until this point has veen thoroughly sponsored by Peter Thiel... They all have Epstein connections... A whole lot of people should be in jail.
Vance is a bigger problem, he's a billionaire sponsored corporate entity and he's going to end up President.
Thiel replaced Epstein on the board of Carbyne, Mossad's research and development company.
Vance is a dubious corporate character. Beware.
Yeah, if Vance gets in he's gonna be the most corporate candidate ever.
I went on YouTube today looking for a comparison of the two platforms of the respective candidates and there's very little out there.
No, the left aren't in any way responsible for the right's fascism, but understanding the role they/we have played in the Trumpist manufacture of a kind of "emotional pornography" that gets used in their propaganda narrative for their fascist outlook, might help in better responding to it, and avoiding the further adoption of that role in the cycle of its production.
Having an emotional role, a part you fall into playing in something, isn't quite the same as being responsible for it. Because this role just comes naturally for a lot of people.
But yeah, thanks you for clarifying your purpose, the right will try regardless, so I agree with what your purpose, and that the left is not responsible for the right, even if the right will sometimes use the left's outrage as a cog in their propaganda machine.
Yes, that feeling about having said Pow Wow, and being called out on it in the most gentle and polite manner, must he a very small version of the inciting incident many MAGA types probably went through, or feel they went through.
Abd where you were self aware enough to reel in that indignant feeling of being corrected, they can't. They didn't have that, for whatever reason.
It may have been knee jerk, it may have been poor cultural timing, or part of a group looking to exclude them for any reason, it may have been part of their divorce, or maybe they just weren't politically aware enough to deal and cope with being called out. Or maybe they were just a bit slow. But whatever it is, they're stuck there and so are gonna try to alter society to what they said, rather than admit they were out of line, or out of date with current standards of propriety.
Interestingly enough Thomas Piketty the Marxist theorist who wrote Capital in the Twenty First century, predicted that as the wealth gap got larger society would return to Victorian era ideas around social classes, the idea of not marrying below your station, and of not fraternizing with commoners or the poor, or bwong uncouth like them.
I don't know if this might be part of that, but it seems you understand some of the emotional aspects of gow someone slips into the MAGA mindset. The sense of betrayal they must feel.
