Lemmy has this weird thing of justifying mass execution of civilians…

severien ,

There’s a non zero chance that Iran would intervene.

severien ,

NK has 152mm and 122mm howitzers compatible with Russian artillery, but also mixed bag of other calibers. But how much of which calibers they have is unclear.

I doubt they trade the weapons/ammo for consumer goods, I assume it’s a trade for Russian weapon technology.

severien ,

Hamas is a death cult openly using human shields, so no surprise really.

severien ,

Literally nobody claims they are “independent”. Russia annexed it and claims it’s Russian, the rest of the world recognizes it as regions of Ukraine.

severien ,

So again, who exactly claims they are independent? Because the “Donbas people” (DPR/LPR) claim they are part of Russia.

severien ,

Wtf I can’t even…

Do I read it right that Hamas isn’t responsible for the atrocities they committed?

severien ,

Can you please tell me how else can you interpret that statement other than her asking for better footage of the atrocities committed by the Hamas?

severien ,

How else do you interpret that statement?

severien ,

Gaza is extremely over populated and is inhabitated almost exclusively by Palestinians. Taking some of them (those who want) would not contribute to cleansing in any meaningful way. The truth is that Muslim countries don’t really care about the Palestinians other than using them as a political tool.

severien ,

Why don’t “freedom fighters” don’t “fight” the atrocities rather than film them?

Keep in mind this was said in the context of the Hamas attack.

Seems like you people are just whitewashing her.

severien ,

She said “freedom fighters”, not “civilians”.

severien ,

It’s going to be pretty bad for the people who will lose their savings over this.

severien ,

you’ve bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.

It’s Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let’s be clear about that.

But seeing your post history, you’re a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally…

severien ,

Of course Ukraine can win. But I understand why a Russian imperialist would like everybody to believe that Russia is undefeatable (even though Russia was defeated many times).

severien ,

Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.

This offensive != war.

Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.

It will likely take a couple more years to see who will outlast who.

severien ,

Right. On the other hand its Austrian cousin FPÖ is currently polling first 🤮

severien ,

Protest voters willing to vote far right is not really making things better. I don’t understand how people wanting to ban it are relevant…

severien ,

This is not just some random Musk garbage, but actual Twitter privacy policy and publuc should be thus be aware.

severien ,

That switch was more than 10 years ago.

severien ,

You can get way more compact mirrorless, my Fuji X-E3 + 35mm f/2 is 550g and the difference in image quality is very clear.

severien ,

Isn’t Samsung DEX exactly that?

severien ,

Batteries were phone specific but it wasn’t a big problem to find them. I bought several for my Note 3 and it allowed me to use the phone for a long time.

severien ,

It’s a problem for people who indebted themselves to buy those homes with a valuation based on scarcity. Also a problem for the real estate Chinese companies, sector which represents a quarter of Chinese economy.

severien ,

This argument never made sense to me. Why would greedy companies voluntarily pay for something they don’t need just to support some “greater good” of keeping the economy afloat? It means reduced profits yet the “contribution” of each individual company is just drop in the bucket.

severien ,

Then it would be just moving profits from one pocket to another.

IMHO it can’t explain the industry trend.

severien ,

You can clearly see a qualitative difference between good and bad cameras even onf facebook-sized photos.

severien ,

It’s not about the resolution which as you mention is already more than sufficient. But you can easily see bad optics, bad color rendition, oversharpening etc. on a 500px image.

severien ,

Cam girls are going to lose their jobs.

Sure, but a much smaller one.

How to avoid war with China?

For those of us, unfortunately, in the imperial core, what steps should we take to stop a US war with China over Taiwan? I’ve honestly been pretty scared since the war in Ukraine started knowing that China is next. We must avoid this at all costs to save the thousands of Chinese lives that will be sacrificed by the west in...

severien ,

The only people in Taiwan with the right to self determination are the Taiwanese Indigenous peoples and Taiwan’s proletariat.

There are no indigenous peoples in Taiwan. We all come from Africa.

Having established the extreme, where do you cut the line who can exert self-determination? Most inhabitants of Taiwan were born in Taiwan, on what ground can’t they decide their fate?

severien ,

If you condemn the events leading to the status quo, then it’s necessarily the case that you should not take the status quo as any sort of ethical baseline.

That’s quite impractical since all nations and their borders were established as a result of unethical conquest. This can be used as a justification for an unending cycle of violence.

severien ,

My POV is that old events whose participants are dead stop being relevant for future moral actions. We should prefer justice for the living as opposed to justice for the already dead.

severien ,

The problem is that it’s all a huge “what if” amenable for any narrative you want. In the end it provides justification for the never ending cycle of violence on people having no personal guilt.

severien ,

Forcing people to be responsible for more than their immediate actions

What you’re saying is that children should carry the responsibility for the acts of their ancestors.

if I include an unjust status quo in my reasoning, then I might also use violence to free myself from the consequences of past violence, but that would not create a “cycle” wherein a stable, nonviolent state cannot be reached, since every “allowed” instance of violence would still only be associated one-to-one with an equivalent instance of “disallowed” violence.

Who’s the judge of whether it’s “allowed” violence? If we say that the status quo of Franco-German relationship is built on the past injustice, and that this should be fixed, who will count all the past centuries of wars and massacres and calculate the outstanding balance?

Because if you let it both sides do it for themselves, then they both will naturally come to the conclusion that they’ve been unjustly treated and that the other side has to pay for that. In the end it will be the stronger one, not the morally correct one, who wins. For a time, then the sides will switch => cycle of violence is IMHO unavoidable if you hold the opinion that past sins are never forgotten.

Now, if my family’s wealth was robbed long ago, I would have a right to recover it

History is basically never so nicely clear-cut. I mean, have you studied your family tree and made sure that all of that family wealth was gathered via perfectly moral means? What if it turns out that your grand grandfather was a soldier who brought home some gold of dubious origins?

severien ,

Outside of UK, Coventry is mainly known for the bombing, is there some connection to its current bad state?

severien ,

Really sorry to spoil the Putinist schadenfreude here, but Morawiecki simply said that they already stopped a while ago because they ran out of weapons to donate. It has no connection to the grain row.

Because it was taken out of context and used by Russian propaganda, Morawiecky later announced that Poland of course remains committed to Ukrainian defense effort.

severien ,

I would move as far as possible from the job site. 2 hours one way on a train watching Netflix, 4 hours work, 2 hours relax on the train. That would be nice.

severien ,

Currently you work 8 hours + 1.5 hours commute. With this you’d work 6.5 hours + 1.5 hour commute, so you’d have 1.5 extra hour for chores or whatever.

If you use train/bus for commuting, you can even sleep there :-)

severien ,

I would just move temporarily, and after probation period move far away. Surely they can’t fire me because my living situation changed and had to move…

severien ,

Seems kinda shitty that you basically can’t move without employer’s approval.

Also poorer people living farther away would get discriminated.

severien ,

Those vetoes existed before most of these countries had nukes.

severien ,

And Pakistan, Israel, North Korea, soon Iran …

severien ,

The only thing about that that’s changed from 1945 to 2023 is the criteria for being a “great power”. Then, it meant being a winner of WW2. Now, it means having a large nuclear arsenal.

No, the criteria didn’t change, it’s still the original set of countries with the permanent seat and veto power. It’s also unlikely to change.

severien ,

He would love to, but he just can’t, at the moment.

severien ,

I don’t get it, do they think that wrecking the economy will not wreck them as well? The rock bottom is still pretty far.

severien ,

It will make a difference if you don’t get enough of it. But having enough of it will just feel normal.
