So it is preferable for NATO to have an associate that will bomb babies, snipe kids, level hospitals, kill old people for fun, occupy and grab land by force (a total opposite of “defensive pact”) on a continent of the world where NATO countries have no land nor a plausible place as a so called defensive organization. Israel isn’t in NATO and even has no relation to NATO except if you count NATO as combined exploitative effort of the western countries on other continents.
Lighting that firework is 0.8 times the 9/11 !
Why? It worked pretty well against the Serbians.
Then bomb Israeli military and governing installations as a proper response to committing genocide?
Margarine, yoghurt and cheese containers. Just make sure to put hot food in them.
600 years ago is definitely enough to call a people the same people. The sociological, economic and political effects of exploration age barely came to an end even though the empires have been disbanded more than a hundred years ago. Even less of a duration if you consider how late the British Empire quit being an empire in name and somehow still keeps it in some places in practice. Or how French still how heavy sway on a lot of African, South Asian and some island nations.
The first of the new empires, American empire, became a world-dominion just a 2-3 decades ago.
Until the rest of the world get strong enough to worry about having only regional conflicts of interest again, and not at the risk of some global superpower of stolen wealth coming from the other side of the world, peoples will keep being the same people as current ones in the lives of each other.
White people coming in to steal your crates are still the same, only they do through impoverishment and dirt-cheap prices of corporate agency at first, and military later if the former isn’t tolerated.
The thing is, and I’m not bringing it to say it is anyone’s obligation no matter what they do or who they are, but Bushnell was a soldier. A soldier is usually already not as removed from the idea of death or harm coming their way, unlike most other people. Ideally, they are not readily available to put their own lives in the line, but they are aware the job entails duty and that duty may require more than common resources, hence putting the body at risk.
When you simply shift this duty to uphold justice for oppressed people on the other side of the planet rather than to sit with thumbs twiddling for your own country’s military orders, it is easily justifiable to use this resource in line to protect others.
A journalist, a psychiatrist, or many of the other life occupancies have different resources they use and can also utilize as a last resort.
Could be an asshole design with low-traction ramps instead of stairs, going up.
Dunno why that got down voted even though it agrees with and elaborates on the comment I replied to.
It is just a statement. I didn’t even urge, encourage or request anybody to stop using that, so not even pressing on the toes of anybody except really insecure people like the other commenter on your level.
Hell, it is used by those insecure people who can’t handle a criticism about their beliefs, usually in context where the subject is women, minorities, people living difficult lives, people enjoying crazy shit harming no one (else), rebellious populations that are directly or indirectly fucked by the colonialism.and fight back with whatever they have, even if it looks primitive in the face of their adversaries firepower.
And here I am making just one criticism about the use of a word that has almost become the Reddit’s “this” in Lemmy political environments, and I’m the one clutching pearls or being insecure.
Israel is worse than that, unfortunately. They are a culmination of Nazi Germany, the colonial British Empire, and the warmongering USA of the last few decades.
Very vulgar and tbh very beaten, redneck level childish expression mostly used overtly in bullshit reactions with almost zero regard to the context.
You won’t. They will happily buy tons of utilities, food and other resources from their colonies all over the world, including oil to wage their wars and plastic shit to use once and throw, for dirt cheap. When you block their pleasure and oppression toys, they will cry “think of the children, think of the environment, you barbarians that can’t carpet bomb or nuke people to stand behind your claims!” while ordering the newest Iphone on their way to change their 3 year old cars for whatever came out this week.
I’m gonna make a guess and say this is more effective than the sanctions imposed on Russia.
Yeah yeah, sure. When it comes to the side they have monetary or material interests with.
Not even going to argue over this when their hypocrisy on response to human suffering has been completely 180° different between Ukraine and Gaza. They have been quick enough to send all aid to Ukraine and sanction Russia as much as they can because that conflict is the floodlands preventing west’s personal losses, while they were quick on ceasing any established (albeit blocked) aid to Gaza because their regional lackey Israel has claimed there were a dozen UNRWA aid workers that had dealings with Hamas, which is not even supported with any form of evidence so far.
They are not committing atrocities, genocide, or other forms of oppressive behavior, unlike how your line is legitimately used for Israel receiving weapons.
Curious to see how this will flame the “China making up all the bad gases” data simplification while it will omit everything else in that regard as they won’t be its business.
You forgot:
5 - Profit (and many dead people)
This is more and more feeling like they are trying to push the limits of international tensions to start a regional war at least.
Oh no, that’s the freedom way. Gods forbid, they’d be living like the bland Soviet blocks otherwise.
While I do share your sentiment on most of these points, I think this guide assumes the person with the problem is already in an intrigued state of mind about the problem. Them being interested about the end result doesn’t change this in this matter, as they are interested in getting results AND learning the steps to do that, rather than learning how the steps are constructed by the working of the computer. That applies to computer-literate people (more precisely people who know how to navigate the front-end usually) who are also not related to computer engineering in any time of their lives. They don’t need to know the video player program generates logs, let aside having knowledge about how to read them.
However, the people with a computer problem but with no interest in learning how to solve it and just would like it to work without their effort, which I assume the guide doesn’t have in mind as target audience, are the type that a lot of people immediately think of when such stuff is mentioned. I’d agree your sentiment applies correctly to this specific type.
