Bit by bit, Taiwan will be slowly sold off to China once they no longer hold the last thing that made them worthy of Western protection. Of course, there will be some harsh words of condemnation, but that’s it. That’s my theory. Sad but true.

febra ,

And obviously it becomes a war only when we (the collective West) label it as such, otherwise it’s still just terrorists. They become soldiers only when it’s convenient for us.

febra ,

The fire has started in 1948.

febra ,

Call it for what it is, a terrorist attack.

If iPhones had explosives planted in them straight out of the factory and would’ve went off in New York all at the same time, injuring thousands and endangering people around them, the 24/7 news cycle would’ve already called for total annihilation and what not.

febra ,

So which armed conflict in the middle of Beirut are you talking about now?

febra ,

Maybe they should stop their genocide in Palestine. Hesbollah has said on multiple occasions that they’ll stop any hostilities if a permanent ceasefire is implemented.

febra ,

Then I guess Hezbollah attacking IDF servicemen wherever they might be, including civilian areas in Tel Aviv, is completely okay. Even if it comes to some civilian casualties.

febra ,

Oh no, they’ll probably just plant detonation devices™️ in areas where IDF servicemen usually are and hope that no collateral civilian casualties™️ happen. After all it’s a very genuine war tactic and definitely not a terrorist attack

South Korea removed 1,300 cameras from its military bases after discovering they're designed to feed back to a Chinese server (www.businessinsider.com)

South Korea’s military has been forced to remove over 1,300 surveillance cameras from its bases after learning that they could be used to transmit signals to China, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported....

Capitalism. They just bought the cheapest reliable enough option they could find and didn’t give two craps about infosec, because that’s too expensive to actually properly do. Minimize the financial losses of an upfront purchase. (I worked more than enough jobs in hardware design to know what management cares about and what it doesn’t)

Also, big yikes for the Israel flag in your username.

febra ,

Having them be appointed by politicians isn’t making much sense either. It’s not a secret that many judges have their own political affiliations since they often get appointed with support from different political factions (see the supreme court in the US). In theory, you’re right. In practice, it doesn’t always work that way.

febra ,

Won’t shed a tear

febra ,

Yeah… as a german taxpayer this is exactly what we need now. Poke China for no real reason.

febra ,

We’ve got bigger fish to fry at home. My government is actively fueling a genocide in Gaza and doing business with a shitton of other genocidal countries, so virtue signalling with our military by crossing some random strait in east Asia doesn’t make me feel any better about anything.

febra , (edited )

I agree that they are doing a genocide against the Uyghurs and that should be stopped. I don’t agree with any “holy wars” or whatever you’re on there, and I’m not a fan of “liberal democracy” either, since I myself am a communist. I don’t see how the german navy crossing through the taiwan strait will change any of that, or if it has absolutely any value, since Germany very well funds an active genocide right now and they don’t seem to have a problem with that or the tyrannical Israeli government either. This is just more pathetic virtue signalling.

febra ,

I’d rather my country not get involved in these superficial platitudes as long as they keep funding aggression in other parts of the globe. If they didn’t fund such aggressions, then I wouldn’t mind, but as of now, it only looks like pathetic virtue signalling to me.

febra , (edited )

Bootlickers for what? I’m talking about Germany funding Israel to commit its genocides in the Middle East. You’re the one licking boots if you still have the zionist boot down your throat. Also, it’s quite telling that you see nazi germany getting “fucked in the ass” by Russia as something bad.

febra , (edited )

Germany got fucked “in the ass” because of capitalist greed, not because of “people like me”. If it was up to me our industries would’ve never left the country in the first place, and most of the privatizations wouldn’t have gone through. Corporate greed would’ve been stopped, and foreign companies that don’t have the interest of the people would’ve been nationalized a long time ago. But that’s not the reality. Besides that, there’s plenty of nazi like rhetoric going around nowadays. Green politicians talking about “the poison of Islam” [1], which reminds me a lot of the antisemitic rhetoric from WW2 (see “Der Giftpilz” [2], talking about jewish people as “the poisonous mushroom”). Besides that, Germany didn’t denazify properly after WW2 anyway (“Persilscheine”, proper card carrying nazis in the first democratically elected government, and so on). The chancellor talking about “deportations in big style”. The CDU trying to ban refugees from going to any public events. And these are not even the nazis in the AfD. It might be 2024, but mentalities haven’t changed much, we’re just picking other out groups to stomp on, mostly because we’re not tackling the real issues at heart.

But again, to get back on China, Germany is very well conducting major business with a ton of authoritarian countries, stomping on workers’ rights all across the world just to enrich German companies, and thus I won’t take their virtue signalling for anything more than just virtue signalling. They can talk about “feminist foreign policy” as much as they like while increasing business with Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, and now even working with the Taliban. They can talk about green policy as much as they like, while funding lithium extraction mines against the will of the people in Serbia. They can talk as much as they like about democracy, while empowering cops to break limbs and beat the shit out of protesters at peaceful pro Palestinian demonstrations. They can talk about humanity as much as they like, while funding a genocide in Gaza and an illegal occupation in the West Bank. And I haven’t even voiced an opinion on these policies, I’m here just pointing out the hypocrisy. If they care so much about Taiwan, they should at least make it clear that it is due to geostrategic interests, not because they suddenly found their love for democracy and what not other nonsense.

Thanks for pointing out the “Persilscheine”. Despite the tremendous amount of “Nazis evil”-content in school, especially in history classes, this wasn’t a topic. An educational gap I’m eager to fill soon.

Persilscheine are barely scratching the surface. They’re honestly the “paradebeispiel” of failed German denazification. Germany had full on SA NSDAP members in government in its first government after WW2. I invite you to read more on Theodor Oberländer. Actually, I invite you to read more on everyone involved in German politics up until the 80s, especially German diplomats. Most of them have some very, very disturbing skeletons in their closets, the people we praise as the founders of German democracy nowadays.

You’ll probably notice as well that this was a rather minor phrasing. No, I don’t. I do watch most of the conferences, “generaldebatten”, and speeches given by members of our parliament, and especially members of our government. I also religiously watch all of our Regierungspressekonferenzen. For someone like me, that has had family members die in german concentration camps, that’s the last kind of rhetoric and wording I want to hear from a German. I couldn’t care less what her intentions are. Her right to go with that kind of wording has been lost 80 years ago.

Most progress was achieved in domestic affairs. I have issued way too many “freedom of information act” requests through Frag den Staat at this point and I’m still waiting for this government to enshrine LGBT protections in our constitution (fragdenstaat.de/…/gleichbehandlungsartikel-im-gru…). But our state is somehow more concerned with helping neonazis march under police protection behind pride parades to intimidate the queer community, the same community that has been historically ravaged and exterminated by the Nazis not even a few generations ago.

I have voted for the greens. I will never vote for them ever again. I’m tired of the bullshit they’ve been spewing, especially lately. I voted for a progressive agenda, not for our foreign minister to lie about Palestinian deaths, and her goons downplaying it. I’m tired of her virtue signalling and her “”“feminist”“” foreign policy on which she very, very selectively delivers. I’m tired of our minister of education and research trying to cut funding to scientists criticizing police violence on campuses, actively trying to suppress them. I’m tired of our chancellor talking about mass deportations. These are things a German should absolutely never do, let alone so called progressive ones. I haven’t voted for AfD light, and I surely haven’t voted for them to normalize far-right ideas.

Reckless ethnostate.

Jordanian driver kills Israeli security guards at border with West Bank (www.theguardian.com)

Three Israeli security guards have been killed at a border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan when a Jordanian truck driver opened fire on them, in a fresh sign that the nearly year-old Gaza conflict is spreading violence across the region....

febra ,

Jordan has a right to defend itself. The IDF doesn’t own the West Bank and doesn’t have a right to be there. The occupation has been declared illegal by the UN. So, rest in piss you won’t be missed.

How a Single Family Was Shot Dead on a Street in Gaza (www.nytimes.com)

Last December, video emerged showing the bodies of a mother, father and their four sons strewn across a street in Gaza City. Beside them lay a stretcher, shovels and a makeshift white flag. A New York Times investigation examines how they got there and who killed them.

febra ,

Yeah, because the tide is turning so hard that not even the most turbo zionist media publications that still have an ounce of a good reputation can keep straight up posting IDF propaganda.

febra ,

I find it hilarious how liberals will literally always side with the fascists rather than side with the leftists and have their wealth threatened.

Just opposes gay marriage, abortion, and overlaps with a ton of other far-right policies, but sure, he’s not far right

Well, they’re also investing a lot into research.

“Democracy” at work.

So he’s pulling a Maduro. No kind of interest paid to the first place party, but I guess we won’t hear any neolibs complain about that.

febra ,

He’s straight up ignoring the will of the people, so it’s pretty much the same shit to me. A wanna be dictator throwing rocks in the wheels of democracy just because he doesn’t like the election results. Same thing could be said about Macron.

On “both sides”? What Israeli civilians are killed in Gaza?

EDIT: Nvm, it’s about the hostages. Yeah, then I guess it’s a fair assessment.

Most likely a majority of them

Gun in hand, the Israeli settler tells the Palestinian: I will kill you (www.thetimes.com)

The girls, aged 14 to 16, have come for settler training to learn how to occupy Palestinian land — breaking international law. “God promised us this land and told us if you don’t take it, bad people will try and take it and you will have a war,” says Emuna Billa, 19, one of the camp supervisors. “Why do we have a war...

febra , (edited )

All settlers are terrorists. There are over 750k people living in the occupied territories. They need to gtfo asap. Their claims hold no water and there is absolutely no legal foundation to creating little settler colonies on another people’s land. I’m talking about the West Bank and the other occupied territories here, not Israel proper.

febra ,

Of course you’re German. Unsurprising. “Other historic ties to the land of Judea and Samaria”. Can’t get more crazy than that lol

febra ,

Yeah and so does Germany over vast areas of western Poland, yet you don’t see normal people claiming that Germany should invade, settle, and occupy those parts. Secondly, I’m part jewish and have no connection to Israel, and never will. The Zionist mission to look for Lebensraum in the West Bank will never have my support. Zionism doesn’t represent Judaism. If you think so, then you’re just another philosemitic antisemite, or someone delusional enough to think that supporting the mass slaughter of children will wash his family’s past crimes.

febra ,

“Obvious solution”

Says the guy that was literally trying to tell me earlier that Israel has a legitimate claim to the West Bank. Where would that second state be? I say we give a part of Germany so Palestinians can create their state and not stand in the way of the apartheid state with a biblical right to other people’s lands.

febra ,

Kind of hilarious how “democracy” works when the rich and powerful don’t like what the people are voting for.

febra ,

All settlers are terrorists. They don’t belong in the West Bank.

German officials have literally put out a warrant for a Ukrainian citizen in connection to the sabotage. Journalists with sources close to the investigation have been writing that the sabotage has connections to the Ukrainian army and the political leadership in Ukraine.

Putin might be dumb, but he’s definitely not dumb enough to blow up his own pipeline. And yes, who blew it up matters, because at the end of the day the taxpayer has paid for it.

Gotta supply the settler colony with weapons for its ethnic cleansing campaign

West Bank Settlers Cause Displacement Wave — After ICJ Rules Settlements Illegal | Truthout (truthout.org)

Over the past two weeks, Israeli settlers have forced 119 Palestinians to flee their homes, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has reported. These attacks forced nearly every family in these communities to evacuate as settlers erected illegal outposts and blocked access to water....

It’s almost as if the apartheid state has never cared about international law.

That’s not how the terms entered computing though. We always used master in opposition of one or multiple slaves. It implies that one component has control and orders the other one around.

febra ,

We’re talking about computing here. At least the post does. I guess you could be a QA engineer or something else, but this discussion is mostly a thing with developers.

febra ,

I don’t know what a master recording is. Googled it and it seems to be related to vinyl or something. So yeah, kind of hard for me to wrap my head around that, but definitely an interesting outlook.

Kind of hilarious since that’s why they originally invaded Ukraine… “to protect the russian minority”
