@riley @cwebber@octodon.social "Do the far-right thing"
@rml (I'm leaving out Christine out of this, perhaps we should even go private not to draw the ire of instance admins and users abroad). (Also, none of this is to justify anything. I want to "compare notes", so to speak, with a live person instead of propaganda outlet. If you're up to it of course.)
The problem with the Bund (and other autonomist movements (with which I somewhat agree, from the cursory glance)) is that the Bund *was*. And... yeah... around the 40s something has happened that made their position unfashionable.
I don't get the colonialism angle either. It looks like "Trail of tears" in reverse in the counterfactual event of US dissolution.
@rml Still not getting that. BLM didn't have a history of firing artillery from the school backyards into civilian areas. If anything, the IRA would be closer, although I know even less about them.
Besides, what's even the point of such an analogy? I don't know any good it would make. But it certainly will make people angry about misrepresentation, association and more people will be misled into some flawed but familiar facsimile of an understanding.
@rml @cwebber@octodon.social I don't think metaphors and analogies are appropriate here. No, the situation doesn't boil down to "imagine BLM beating up MAGAs" or anything like that.
(---) war
@tonyg @cwebber@octodon.social No, certainly not. This is attempt to process the situation without getting a headsplosion and descending into "everything is so clear cut here". I can't just run along with the mainstream coverage and cheer for the designated side. People die and everything is terrible.
@andrew773 @cwebber@octodon.social There's just no easy way out of that hell. Perhaps never was. The incentives in the region are complete clusterfuck of perversity.
@be The airstrikes are called "counter battery fire". Whenever a rocket launches, the launch site gets hit in return. If by "indiscriminate" you mean that they don't discriminate between the launch sites, then yes.
(---) war
@cwebber@octodon.social This is not about defense or humanitarian aid. It's about the horror of being forced to feed and otherwise service a group of people, where some of them are right now and right there abusing (the word isn't strong enough, but let's keep it at that) people from your group.
@omgubuntu I'm yet to see a resource monitor that shows CPU usage on a something like a spectrogram.
Separate windows make it difficult to gauge system load.
Line charts are too noisy, making it difficult too.
Let each core have its own track, but make them correlated in time.

@Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine Fortunately there is a way out. Namely for the murderers to come out. If they are truly stand for their people, they can make the difference there.
Unfortunately, they have turned into a death cult.
The lack of hope is suffocating.
@haskman Zero cost abstractions are old pie. Ask for negative-cost abstractions!
@donaldball @ianmnoone @shoq @gaurav this is uneasily close to the reasoning for Russian casus belli for Ukraine - you guys are baddies for genociding ethnic Russians in the region, with no political solution in sight, so we gonna topple your government and make some hard justice.
Hawkish factions gonna hawk... ![]()
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @xs4me2 @snack@ieji.de @susurros @palestine Didn't meant to pick on you personally. The Bibi angle I haven't explored yet (and they guy is slick as whatever). Israelis tried to kick him in balls^W^W out, but (with the "help" of some pro-palestine factions!) failed quite spectacularly (in a bad way).
@islamopostmoderne @GhostOnTheHalfShell @xs4me2 @snack@ieji.de @susurros @palestine You do understand that "winning a popular election" and then going genocidal does NOT do any favors for this side?
I'm pretty sure that the elections were rigged AF (per usual), but, gosh... people really want me to side with the hawkish factions.
@jaredwhite @jonn The problem here is with "we". There are lots of different stakeholders that shape the incentive landscape.
I would certainly love to take my time to make every project into a best shape it could be. But virtually nobody gonna pay me for *that*.
Toots as he pleases.
