Sorry I was a bit aggressive. I was mocking Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides’ because it felt like an attempt to say there is a justified way to use that term. But they use it just as a general insult for women.

Iran is attacking Israel. They could stop doing that anytime and have Israel leave them alone. That includes giving up on their uranium enrichment.

This is the ingrained propaganda that is clouding your understanding. Iran always complied (reasonably) with the NPT and seeks peaceful use of nuclear power. Just as Iraq didn’t have WMDs. These lies are framing their resistance and defense against imperialist aggression as aggression on their side.

Obviously Iran isn’t as nice and democratic, post racist and secular as the USA (/s) but they do have the right to defend themselves. Hezbollah is their tool. The US and Israel has theirs.

Worse? We have numbers for the respective body counts. They probably killed more Palestinian children in the last 8 months alone than Israeli victims in the entire history of terrorism against Israel.

Israel had decades of superior military power to culturally genocide re-educate Palestinians and create peace. Instead they chose fascism, oppression, and violence against their neighbors.

All the info is available.

But it ISN’T. The US mainstream media constantly lies and the US pushes propaganda all around the world. We’ve been fed disinformation for decades not just since Trump. So I can’t just read up on them without a deep dive in trying to first find neutral sources and read and then evaluate them. If you just read the standard version about them your perception is going to be warped. Like I said, they have bad PR, which really means prevailing propaganda brands them as evil.

I don’t like their religious views either but fundamentally they are guys in a militia fighting against foreign invaders and threats to their country.

A portion of the debris from collisions would enter elliptical orbits though so might need more time to de-orbit. But loosing all LEO satellites and even just 4-8 years without use of LEO would be an absolute catastrophe. You could still launch satellites to medium or geosynchronous orbit though.

Right, Israel just needs a bit more lebensraum in the east / the west bank.

Or I can set up my own private server where nobody can join, then I can have anarchy, totalitarianism and socialism all at once!

To bow, or bow down or kneel for. But I’m not going to google that for you haha. The basic problem is that starlink theoretically has immense power so it becomes a political tool. He bows to those ones but not to legitimate democratic interests.

Especially once starlink and others can make landline based internet connections obsolete by pricing them out - which they are not currently doing though, but it seems only a matter of time with competition. Basically we could get to a situation where there are only like 2 or 3 internet provider practically controlling internet globally.

The headline is genocide apologia and should be banned.

Turkey and Russia. It’s clear that profit seeking corporations would bow, but then Elon screams bloody murder when reactionary forces in Brazil manipulating social media get censored.

Of course, terrorism is only what we say and when they do it, not when we do it!

I demand to see Biden’s Israel pager!

And all upvoted. Apparently hate wagons work well, no matter the cause

They are like the minutemen, but have worse PR.

Capitalists at least are human beings.

Corporations are demonic spirits incorporated into robotic bodies of flesh and machine who endlessly scream “mooaaar profit” in blood curdling agony.

Is it simply impossible for you to imagine that other peoples have different opinions and viewpoints on things?

Just because it’s been ingrained into you that arabs are bad and they are all “shithole countries” or hezbollah is evil, doesn’t mean that others share that view. Ask yourself: Does Lebanon and Iran and Palestinians have a right to defend themselves?

And no that doesn’t mean I agree with either of those groups. I just realize that framing everything as a fight of good vs evil like it’s some fantasy movie where you can just slay the mindless orcs. These are human beings sick of imperialist aggression. Do you expect them to just lie down? Solutions are complicated and don’t involve just killing everyone who opposes you.

So of course Iran would have communication channels with Hezbollah or even support them.

The problem isn’t that my argument is weak, it’s that I have to make it in the first place. It’s fucking obvious except to the severely brainwashed, and then there is little point of making it instead of mocking them.

If they have nothing to hide, why don’t they let themselves be killed?

Communication? Lebanon has a right to defend itself. It’s like questioning why Biden has a line to the Israel Prime Minister.

Can I use a seedbox to host videos for peertube?

Patents aid in genocide.

There are hundreds of thousands of industrial processes that we need to change and innovate to combat climate change. Any small innovation will be patented and then potentially exploited to extract the maximum amount of profit. This reduces the pace of innovation generally, and makes greener more energy efficient solutions slower to be adopted.

Similar can be argued about advertising in general of course, they lead to more consumerism and more resource and energy use and why first world has such insane GHG per capita.

Sure, but the only way to counter AI spam in the dead internet might be to have your own local AI model to filter junk out. And that has to be with the browser.

There is also cookie consent spam, ads and newspaper “notify me” shit that probably can only be fixed with AI.

Your take is that Mozilla doesn’t think before they adopt, except people here don’t think about what not to adopt either.
