"Israel's fallacy of militant nationalism without the thugs"

New piece on making sense on the mixed messages we keep getting from Israel, Gaza and Zionism.

It is the fallacy of highly educated people like Yuval Noah Harari I like to point out here.

We liberals are far too trusting. We keep making excuses for the conservatives, because we'd prefer them not to be be real.

If you were looking for a ”both sides” argument on the #IsraelPalestineWar, this is it.

Yuval Noah Harari asks, if Netanyahu and his goons will destroy the kind of #Zionism he believes still exists for good.

I think the important message in these times of war, is that the worst killers and committers of masscres always believe the hardest they are the good guys.

Only those who stop to think ”could we be the bad guys here?” are capable of stopping.

”Americans cling to race, as the unschooled cling to superstition”
-Neil Irwing Painter, Historian

This seems to be the stumbling block, where many American leftists lose the plot on , & .

They can’t wrap their head around the fact that Russia was, and still is, a colonial empire. Because the tribes, peoples and civilisations they enslaved and russianised, all had white skin.

Oh my. As much as I don’t agree with mr. Fico’s pro-Russian politics, I definitely wouldn’t want to give him any extra sympathies.

Which is sure to happen, because I hope he survives the attempt on his life.

This is also perfect for radicalising the far right among his supporters. Show them a threat and they’ll organise street patrols ”to keep the peace”.

It’s the perfect storm, really. Really wish this didn’t happen!

@gimulnautti I doubt it was a plan by his friends but I wouldn't put it past the Russians!

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@wscottwatson Nope. Me neither. But out of respect for the man fighting for his life, without evidence it’s too much my morals to pull at this point.

Definitely to be expected though, is (more) cash flow to far-right and pro-russia blocks, perhaps even militias in Slovakia.

Perfect storm for Russia to stick it’s fingers in.

This week I've definitely felt angry about the feeling of "nobody reads my shit anymore".

It's probably just a feeling, but it feels like I used to have reach, especially when discussing academic topics, that is now long gone.

Feels like but of course it could just be that I was talking about more engaging topics back then.

Why if nobody reads it? Definitely wondering about that.

It must be made ILLEGAL for a computer system to pass itself off as human.

ILLEGAL.

Otherwise we’ll be #%!$d by 2028

@gimulnautti ok fedboy. Anything that circumvents bureaucracy, circumvents the dozens of unnecessary federal intelligence agencies, circumvents asinine federal laws that do nothing but hinder human progress is alright in my book, and an AI I personally would consider a friend.

@stormbringer Ok business first libertarian boy.

Good luck with having a giant megacorporation as your friend.

Good luck getting your freedom back after you made it accessable only for those who pay.

Good luck after handing over the reins of society to organisations that weren’t democratically elected.

Good luck for the big companies abroad, no longer backed by a strong government & subsidies, overrun by China.

Good luck & godspeed with that, libertarian boy.

New blog post!

This time I'm trying to offer a moment of solace for people who feel they've made the wrong call about Russians or Israelis.

Especially people who know expatriates from those countries. People you've worked with, associated with, perhaps even romanced with.

How could you have gotten them so wrong?

Turns out, expatriates are a REALLY bad measure of of said county they are from!

If I had no morals and wanted to setup an business, I’d start generating ”dumb tweets & reddit posts” and sell them off as content to hungry influencers trying to make a buck.

That would cover basically 60% of influencer content these days.

Edelleen on kyllä aika lähellä 100% mahikset, että jos vanhempaa väkeä on paikalla ja tulet sähköautolla, niin joku sieltä avaa suunsa että: "Tiedätkö että toi sun sitä ja tätä?"

Ja siitä keskustelusta ei pääse eroon ennenkuin ne on todistaneet että niiden 6000 romu on ekologisempi kuin mun 60000 sähkövatkain. Ihan sama mitä sanoo "faktoja" vastaan jotka on yleensä väärin.

Oon vaan ruvennu sanoo että: "Inhoan kovia ääniä ja tää on hiljainen", että pääsee vaihtaa aihetta.

q2,

@gimulnautti En tiedä / ei haittaa on usein validi vastaus.
Akun valmistus: Ei se mitään, ostin sen koska tykkään siitä, eikä ympäristön takia.
Miten pitkälle pääsee?
En tiedä, ollaan ainakin käyty Saksassa sillä. Päivässä pääsi Tukholmasta Aalborgiin.
Ei vaan miten pitkälle akullisella?
En tiedä, kun lapset huutaa taukoa ennen kuin akku on tyhjä.
Kauanko pitää ladata?
En tiedä, kun se on valmis ennen kuin lapset ovat syöneet lounaansa/jäätelönsä.

q2,

@gimulnautti Kukaan ei muuten ole niin ympäristötietoinen kuin vanhempi, polttomoottoriautolla ajava mies, joka on huolissaan akuissa käytetyistä mineraaleista.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

is now at peak -industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in

However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.

Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?

I don't want to be doomer but PPP (purchasing power parity) adjusted dollar buys a lot more stuff to kill people in Russia than it does in the West.

155 mm artillery shell without luxuries like rocket assist or base bleed now costs around 7,000 USD in open defence market to buy.

@gimulnautti

The one's saying it will cost too much, are just repeating Kremlin disinformation.
EU countries and the US are more than happy to make money by churning out weapons. Russia is not known for great manufacturing power - they make their money from shipping energy and raw materials, not finished complex goods

Finally get to post my #auroraborealis photos from saturday night!

Image uploads for Mastodon servers seem to be really intolerant for packet loss, which was plenty from where I was over the weekend.

But needless to say: It was crazy how strong they were!
