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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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…

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

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.

Isn’t Samsung DEX exactly that?

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.

That switch was more than 10 years ago.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
