Being for the destruction of all art history is certainly the wildest take I've ever seen on this issue.

You're damn right I don't like it, I especially don't like how it destroys art history, which is why I'm part of this campaign to make that practice illegal.

It's astonishing to me how even right here on Lemmy so many people still misunderstand what this is about with comments saying that piracy fixes it or that downloading the game installer solves the issue. The games where those things are options aren't what this effort is about, this is about games like Darkspore, Defiance, Tabula Rasa, and our prototypical example The Crew, where there is no one who can play them no matter where, how, or when, they acquired the game, it is impossible to play for anyone, the whole piece of art has been destroyed.

Honestly if we can't even communicate what the movement is about to those who aught to be our base it really does not bode well for gaining any kind of wider traction.

You just renamed prisons to "rehabilitation centers", you're advocating prison reform not abolishment. Saying that you want to get rid of prisons will just make people think you're an idiot.

I'm not getting how this is any different from regular photo ID. The article mentions how it would be stored on the passengers phone but that's just E-ID, which is also far from new. Is this just some random company trying to advertise their system for automated ID checks?

The majority of isrealis support genociding the palestinian people.

There will be no peace in the region, not now, not in a hundred years. Not until the last man has slain his last enemy will that holy land be free of violence.

Okay sure I'm not gonna say he's wrong because sure given that arresting the head of state of a powerful nation would carry immense consequences I can believe that most countries would just rather not do it, no matter the severity of the crimes, as he said that's just realpolitik.

But to freely admit that you would ignore your legal obligations when you didn't have to is just so fucking stupid!

My point of view on this is that the ICC is an arm of the rules based global order, which was constructed by and in the interest of "the west". Which means this statement delegitimizes the ICC therefore degrading western interests, so it real damn idiotic for the leader of Belgium to say this since it's essentially the capital of "the west"! Politicians may have a reputation for doublespeak but that's because there are a great many truths you simply can't say if you want to further your political interests.

This articles covers some interesting incidents and this wikipedia article is more exhaustive though covers the domestic anti-war events more broadly.

The last round of conscription was meet with uncharacteristically loud pushback from the russian public so pushing ahead with even more is interesting. Is the kremlin that confident in the effect of it's propaganda? or is it just that desperate?

That's seems pretty damn ballsy of them since unless they are extremely confident in the jury selection it's practically guaranteed to result in a hung jury if they know that finding him guilty will result in the most severe verdict.
