wow! this must be the most “fuck you in particular” moment ever.

all good.points. my only retort is that its ineffective until its not. this direcyaction has an effect on a small number of people and I think the blowback is likely minimal - net positive? the people involved may geninely not ever engage in any other way on this issue. and if the marketing people are right, engagement is vital.

good question. it seems to work on me, but I don’t think I count.

I can say that when people in my orbit start talking about the direct action they have heard about (a few do), it is a possible entry point into a personal discussion on climate change. I don’t often pursue these openings, but I have gotten into 2 or 3 good conversations - apply exponential growth and …?

“excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour bringer of war and famine?”

so, I don’t know. but it feels like its a net positive.

respectfully disagree. its way too easy to normalize every disaster, every lie, every little “we’re all going to die anyway”.

I may be a sick minded outlier, but I am ok with this action and others. there is no damage done (soup on glass and cornflour on rock don’t count) and these people are putting their bodies and freedom on the line to keep people talking about what is likely the single biggest existential risk humanity has faced.in 50k years.

right now, any time this issue is in front of eyeballs (even if tangentially reported) its a win.

quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just change the way you think about irc.

edit: word

politics has never been logical.

just when you are sure this article is going to fluff out on you, it doesn’t.

But how does AI tell when someone is most likely lying? They’re smiling like an American.

I was oddly surprised at how I connected with this article. a useful read in a defining epoch.

someone genuinely interested for intellectual reasons would likely not fall for it. I would imagine that a non-trivial percentage of “antiquity enjoyers” are very light on history substance and heavy on history feelz.

once the appropriate brain tickles have been pushed into their heads their “history substance” feed content becomes decidedly propagandized.

I understand your point here, but the “both sides bad” really loses the plot when the death, destruction and suffering by the most innocent is astronomically asymmetrical.

at this juncture I don’t give a shit if every combatant is the devil himself. stop the flow of kid killing weaponry and get appropriate humanitarian aid in.

20fucking24 and we still cannot pull our thumbs out of our collective asses, put the homicidal money machine into neutral and stop mowing down kids. fuck us all, every goddamn one of us.

brutalist take, but likely the correct one :-(

great article, thank you.

My take from the article…?

confidence: believing that you are the best person for the job.

dominance: making everyone else believe that you are the best person for the job.

it amazes me how saudi arabia and others have benefited since September about 23 years ago.

to he that let no crisis go to waste, go the spoils.

well, I supposes the message was sent. is this a material/regional change, or just luck?

my guess is a material change and that sounds very double plus ungood for the prospect of keeping this localized.

Israel’s health ministry said the samples “raise concerns about the presence of the virus in this region”. It added that Israeli health authorities were “monitoring and evaluating necessary steps to prevent the risk of disease in Israel”.

additional quotes might improve the sentiment of that paragraph, but I don’t think they were forthcoming from the Israeli health ministry.
