What the fuck did I just listen to

So the first sentence there, of article 8.2.b.iv seems to agree with most of the commentary I was seeing, as anyone would know that incidental loss of life and injury to civilians would occur.

Lol no. Just because I’m able to point out the flaws in this action didn’t mean I should have all the answers for you. I still have the right to criticise even if I don’t present a nonexistent perfect strategy.

Your source does not verify your claim. It says one factory, and you said multiple.

It’s not effective (courageous as it may be) because it will not reduce the death toll in Gaza.
What do I suggest, it’s to go back in time and arrest the capture of our manufacturing by corporate entities. That being impossible, it’s to take back the means of production by the worker so that workers can decide what they agree to manufacture instead of being forced to create factories that create death showers. Which seems like asking for a unicorn at this point.
I don’t think there is a realistic short term solution and that fact keeps me up at night. I honestly think we’ve lost our way and I can’t see a way back, though I would like to believe there is one that someone else, hopefully, can see.

I’m finding it pretty difficult to find a definition of discriminate killing in international law. Most commentators seem to think that the pager attack was a very clear example of indiscriminate killing. Could you point me to the law which defines this term?

Of course it is. they targeted anyone with these pagers as well as anyone standing within a few metres of anyone with a pager. All of whom were definitely combatants. Because otherwise this would be a war crime, and Mossad would never.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not popping out of some vaguely Numenorian bint’s uterus!

Interesting stuff! Thanks!

Punk drumming goes so hard. It doesn’t get enough credit. If you can do Dude Ranch with no pauses then you’ll have earned my respect!

Looks like a concrete floor there, which would generate dust, therefore this just can’t be a clean room by definition. If so they’ll probably just have to clean up the paint and maybe replace a few things and get on with it.
The second action in the video, looks like putting expanding foam into the air filtration system, is much, much more damaging. That’s building infrastructure that will have to be torn out and rebuilt, which will shut down production for ages. A lot of people are going to be a lot of angry about this, and these two on camera are going to be hunted down and prosecuted.
I don’t think shutting down production of warplanes that are already in service will do much to be honest. It won’t slow momentum of Israel’s genocide one iota. You could devastate the population of Gaza with WWII era planes, since they’re basically at this point just starving to death without electricity. So no need for F35s. I get that it’s a strong form of direct action but the actual effect it will have is minimal, and balanced with the risk to the protesters, it’s pretty low on the reward/risk scale.
I think these two are morally in the right, but need to think more about how they can be effective.

As a guitarist this has inspired my new exercise regimen:

• Switch Fitbit to right arm
• Play more NOFX riffs

I read somewhere that eastern Asian populations lack a certain protein which helps metabolise alcohol, which was attributed to the fact that glass was not industrially developed and therefore distillation of alcohol wasn’t widespread and the genome never had to adapt to alcohol. Probably more to it than that and it’s outside my usual reading, but is there any truth to that? If so then not every culture invented moonshine.

Ooh the Nazis are threatening to break away? Oh no! Whatever will we do without them?!
Fuck them. They can break away and start their own little fourth Reich, which will be a pariah forever. In fact, that’s even better - all the fascists can go to the same geographical location so we can deal with them surgically.

Bro definitely really wants to kiss himself on the cheek

The above comment is more applicable to itself than to the comment to which it refers, weirdly. It’s a sort of extra-ironic, self unaware recursion.
Edit: your edit doesn’t fix anything. You claim the outrage is over nothing. I then explain what I think the outrage is over, you then claim that my explanation is somehow unrelated. You then edit, saying that people shouldn’t be outraged, because of an opinion you have. I’m getting an aggressive vibe from the way you are writing, so maybe it’s better not to engage with you, but at the same time I’m curious why this fairly dry, non divisive topic has you so vehement.

It seems the outrage is over this part:

the public that pays for the American government agency – because of a deal with a private insurance risk firm.

Which is, on the face of it, outrageous. American public pays for the modelling but isn’t allowed to benefit from it because an insurance company wants to keep the data secret.

This reads like a LinkedIn comment honestly

Didn’t they throw it at a protective barrier, though? So zero potential of damaging the art?
Throwing soup at an oil exec is assault on a human being and would be worse, ethically, because human beings have sensory apparatuses and, presumably at least some level of emotion.
If you punched someone in the mouth because they threw soup at a protective plastic barrier in a museum, then it is you who would be the “utter cunt”.

It’s not a productive discussion that’s needed though. The death penalty has been going on for four centuries in the US. That’s an awful lot of time for an awful lot of productive discussions, and yet innocent people are still being put to death by the machinery of the state. At this point we’re just tired of it.
For the innocent victims of the death penalty, I imagine it feels like a regime. Like an inscrutable, bureaucratic behemoth, unable to change course even in the face of logic. It’s inhumane, it’s unreasonable. It’s a regime - an immovable set of arbitrary rules where no single individual has to take responsibility, and no individual human being’s decision can save you, even if you’re innocent. It’s a regime.
