Can we do top 1% so that I don’t feel included?

JD?

None. I rather change myself than wasting time on changing something that won’t last forever anyway.

Not now but soon: lemmy.

Make the logout random. This creates addiction which will turn lemmy into mindcrack.

Just don’t do any crimes.

What are anarchists? They are no tankies but also not center-left.

To me, it seems that trauma is an essential tool to build our civilization. Trauma allows people to identify with trauma in other people, or situations in general. People without trauma see other people suffering and feel bad for them, but they cannot identify with them.

This is important for civilization because the processes of society have to be understood and sometimes have to be healed which requires that some people can identify with the problems.

So to have civilization, there needs to be a constant stream of trauma to have enough people who can show the problems so that we can fix the problems of society.

It’s a bit circular that there are problems to fix problems.

Is it evil to cause that system of trauma? That depends on the answer of is it good to have civilization?

there has not in human history been a larger industrially organized murder of a people.

In a period of just 100 days 1,47 million jews were systematically targeted and exterminated. That’s nearly double the rate of the Rwandan genocide.

If you put it like that Rwanda’s manual genocide sounds evilly impressive.

It’s anything about which people are in denial, be it the need for capitalism, the western role in Ukrain, the environmental impact of a single consumer, the validity of political objectives of the opposition, the impact of immigration, …

My ultimate opinion is that we need to step back and notice that the denial is built on purpose and that the goal can’t be to push for the victory of the own team. There needs to be understanding of the underlying problems that includes the view of the other teams to change the mechanisms that create them.

If we can’t do that then all the manipulation is already the best strategy to force humanity into progress.

Better than Hawaii

Unless some members of the alliance take part in offensive wars. Then you trigger an arms race or other measures when the alliance becomes too big.

It still explains why this is happening. You can’t rely on Cina to build your military systems if they are for a war on China.

It’s increadible that the comments are about Trump’s stupidity and not about the consequences of that war.

The conversation would be different if people stopped attributing authorship to him

Is there a lemmy channel for those conversations?

Right, I was too lazy to check.

Starting this war in the first place was the worst possible idea that never made any sense

It made sense to the NATO strategists who recommended to not expand NATO further, because of that war.

The rubel is massively devalued. PPP calculations have to be taken with a grain of salt.

NYT article explains it.

Artikel 42 EU treaty. All members of the EU have to fight with their full capacity. This will escalate quickly.

There are already EU troops in the Baltics, just to remind the Russans of it.

Because Germany is on your side?

Careful that you don’t draw the wrong conclusion.

France will because it’s article 42 of the EU.
