Good on #Brazil.

@woodenmachines @Nonilex these people are colonizers. There is no other way to put it. Now who 'these people' are we can argue, but there is a high tech colonization going on here.

@Nonilex Absolutely! Perfect!

No, USA has old refineries, ideal ones for Venezuela's oil. USA produces light oil, ideal ones for modern refineries, and export it.

@Nonilex To be perfectly frank, with the way Project 2025 is having world leaders assassinated or kidnapped left and right, this may be less a matter of fighting misinformation and more a matter of national defense for them...

[sundaymidnight@tuiter.rocks]

@woodenmachines

to put it simply: the US held the refineries while Venezuela had the oil, but Nicolas Maduro stopped that cooperation, mainly because the US was an extremely demanding partner, Maduro decided to sell to Asia instead

@sundaymidnight @Nonilex they aren’t making voting machines there, was my point

[wordstitcher@thecanadian.social]

@Nonilex
The US has a nerve questioning the election process anywhere, given the corruption and gerrymandering they encourage every election.

@Nonilex Brazil's electronic voting system is not only pioneering, but also one of the few of its kind that's considered reliable, trustable, verifiable and reproducible: it set a standard. and it was all made and it is all maintained by public employees!!!

@timo21 @woodenmachines @Nonilex Colonizers or racist cartel?

[cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com]

@Nonilex “We used to deploy power in dangerous situations for #democracy," that is absolutely a huuuuuuuuuge lie, the US has been meddling with other countries systems, governments, regimes et al for 125 years, including putting not-at-all democratic dictators in power!!!

@Nonilex

They are going to try some shit here in Canada for sure.

@Nonilex An electoral system based on voting machines cannot be "sound", as it is not transparent.

I am fairly sure that the "international observers" did not see the code, and therefore could not verify whether or not the computers were functioning correctly.

@jpages @Nonilex

We have people and institutions competent enough to review our own code.

@reul @Nonilex They certainly don't even check if the audited source code is the actual source code running on the machines.

Or, even better, they almost certainly don't check the compiler or the libraries used.
