Hmmm no mention of Israel… no… still not… Ah yes, no money from them. But let’s just make up some shit because a genocide is not enough.

Don’t we already know who funded Hamas in good detail? Like it is not super secret etc. and we need a whistle blower to uncover this. But I guess a genocide is not enough, so decades long support of their enemy must have happened too?

So you heard some stuff, any actual reasons too?

You have 16 upvotes with whataboutism while the other guy is negative. Fucking Lemmy.

That would be the world I wish we live in. But Trump got voted, the right is on a massive rise and pushes pro Russia bullshit, etc. etc. So a somewhat different world.

Why not? All they need to do is make people frightened and stop supporting Ukraine. There are already plenty assholes that want to stop supporting them.

Just means you were there for 4 or more years, no implication of actual skill involved. Just like being a manager (almost any position really, but hey) does not implicate skill.

Huh? What is the mains cable mess for then?

Solar with an off grid inverter I hope. Or at least have a DC/DC solution to get the required voltages, but I doubt many people have what it would take to handle such high voltages.

But isn’t that exactly being prepared for the crisis?

I don’t use GrapheneOS anyway so fuck them, right? Why should I care about others when it does not directly impact me?

Ha, last time I saw that page linked somewhere is years ago! But of course it is still just as relevant.

As much as we can shit on them, but 4 billion military assistance from the USA does NOT pay everything given the military budget of more than 10x that at 45 billion $. It is a rich country.

Murdered, not displaced. But not quite 2 million at a single event I hope, but the order of magnitude is right.

Same with how young people are lazy etc. etc. people never learn from history, it is just crazy.

Sadly there have been a number of worse genocides in the 21th century. Some with numbers of deaths in the same order of magnitude as the whole population of Gaza.

Plastic bottles are a good example. They are much lighter, so far less handling and transportation cost. Having multiple shapes for various products/companies makes it harder for collection etc. of glass. And glass simply takes a shit ton of energy (natural gas) to produce and recycle. So the climate cost is not simply “yes glass is better for the climate”. It only is when it gets refilled a ton of times and the transportation is only short distances (so when there is a high population density)

Anyway, when halve stop buying cheap shit they don’t even need, we will not only save that many resources but also avoid all of the trash that it inevitably ends up being a few years later. Companies would not continue production of the things.

Humans harm nature in EVERY form of society.

Every single person is part of the problem. Some more, some less. Corporations do not harm the environment because they are inherently bad. They do it because people (all of them!) love stuff.

Human nature is the reason. Regardless of the system we live in. People want more, better, etc. and feel important/strong/rich/… It has always been like that. Heck, even monkeys display such things.
