But they won't as they actually love their dependence.
Not long ago they terminated their years long test run of hosting their own fediverse instances with what condensed down to basically "it was very successful and really worked well; but we don't care, so we can't be bothered to operate them any longer".
You want to focus on the specifics of the military supplies.
No, I want people to use their brains again. And leave that bullshit reality behind were everything is about narratives over actual facts and arguments and every conflict is a fucking teamsport with the goal to scream your side's narrative the loudest.
I would love to criticise Israel's genocidal settler policies and their even worse actions in Gaza right now, but without fucking antisemites loudly agreeing how Israel needs to be destroyed while some neonazis (of all possible "allies" of Israel) insult me as a supporter of muslim extremist terrorists.
I would love to criticise Hamas attacks on Israel without being lextured by some mentally unstable leftists about how there was no attack but only an act of self-defense (preferably on stage with well-ducumented antisemites), or criticise the morons cheering and distributing candy on the streets in Germany when those attacks happened without some room-temperature IQ nazi agreeing because that scum should be deported anyway.
I would love to discuss Germany's actual support of Israel and the implications objectively. I would love to talk about dual-use stuff like com equipment or spare parts for motors and how they should not be delivered at all while missiles to shoot down drones are a completely different thing... but I won't do so with people screaming about anti-air frigattes (for a country actually actively attacked by neighbours) being support for a Palestinian genocide; neither will I discuss this with people that pretend that this pseudo-fascist club of fanatics in Israel's government is sane...
In short: I would love to in fact not focus on any one aspect, because there are a lot of factors in a complex situation. And most certainly there is no black and white. But at the moment both sides are mostly insane, and even the ones seeming somewhat sane happily stand beside extremist morons if those happen to sing the correct "team song" at that moment. And so I will keep disrupting both side's narratives -that exactly lead nowhere ever- with details that don't fit the story, because we need to leave those stories (and the tribal sentiments) behind.
why would nations everywhere develop incredibly expensive mine-clearing systems?
Because you are primarily talking about anti-vehicle mines that can be well buried and are much less sensitive.
Da hast du aber jetzt ganz tief buddeln müssen, ob eine 10 Jahre alte, einzelne Anekdote aus regionaler Berichterstattung zu finden, die dank "ist halt, was ich glauben will" alle tatsächlichen -Argumente entkräftet. 😂
Ich tu mich den Scheiß nicht mehr an...
Nein, ich hab exakt das oben bereits geschrieben. Ich hab nicht behauptet, dass Flüchtlinge nicht (auch) nach Deutschland wollten, sondern dass die vermehrt hier sind, nicht weil sie Mühe auf sich genommen haben, um gezielt nach Deutschland zu kommen, sondern weil andere EU Länder ganz offfen gegen Vereinbarungen verstoßen, um sie ierhin weiter zu leiten.
Und das lässt uns letztendlich nur 2 Optionen offen: Wir scheißen auch auf Vereinbarungen, Menschenrechte und im deutschen Fall auf unsere Verfassung... oder wir ziehen EU Mitglieder für Verstöße gegen unterzeichnete Vereinbarungen zur Verantwortung.
Konservative werden aber immer die erste Option wählen, denn Rechtsbruch zum eigenen Vorteil liegt ihnen im Blut und moralische Bedenken oder Prinzipien existieren nicht.
In simplified terms:
You are allowed to modify stuff but it is not actually changing the install as is.
This is achieved by different techniques like file system overlays, containerisation, btrfs snapshots and so on.
The idea is to replicate the classical behavior you know from embedded devices that have their core functionality in ROM with even firmware updates only overlayed or modern smartphones: You can modify your system but in the end there's always the possibilty to "reset to factory settings" as in: the last known working configuration.
Das ändert aus meiner Sicht aber nichts daran, dass ich bei Menschen ohne Bleiberecht, die schwere Verbrechen begehen, keinen Grund sehe, diese weiterhin in Schutz zu nehmen, oder noch länger hier behalten zu wollen.
Der Satz an sich mag richtig sein. Aber wir wissen doch alle, dass das nur vorgeschoben ist. Denn ich brauche keine Statistik, wenn ich Leute, die schwere Verbrechen begehen abschieben will. Die Statistik brauch ich nur, wenn ich das mit Leuten vor habe, die nichts getan haben, aber das eben "statistisch" in Zukunft eher tun könnten.
Wenn ich Leute die Verbrechen begehen abschieben will, muss ich das nur tun. Dafür brauch ich keine Extrapolation zukünftiger Ereignisse auf Basis von Statistik.
Aber wir sind halt in Deutschland, wo die Antwort auf den x-ten Anschlag eines polizeilich lange bekannten Täters auch mehr Überwachung der übrigen Bürger ist und Angriffe mit in der Öffentlichkeit bereits verbotenen Messern, dadurch verhindert werden, dass man andere Messer ebenfalls verbietet.
Scheindiskussionen um Scheinprobleme führen, um Symbolpolitik machen zu können, die kein Problem löst (denn die kann man noch für die nächsten 10 symbolpolitischen Maßnahmen und den Wahlkampf nutzen) ist nunmal das Non-Plus-Ultra politischen Handelns in diesem Land.
Man könnte meinen der Wähler im Durchschnitt ist ein Idiot und bekommt, was er verdient. Aber das darf man natürlich nicht laut sagen, denn dann fühlen sich die Idioten beleidigt und werden aus Trotz noch idiotischer.
So with the new META changes it does feel that we’re arguing about nothing substantial at this point.
That is the actual point though. Not so much substantial for the actual war going on now (besides "hey, we still have those stocks and they are already paid for"), very substantial for the child getting his hand ripped of by a DPICM dud 10 years down the line.
No, I mean the mechanized assaults that constantly fail because of mainly anti-vehicle mines and artillery, with the infantry stranded on foot then being easily picked off by drones or more artillery.
Just because it's insane for us how a country would waste living beings in constantly failing armoured assaults this way and loves to frame it as "meat waves" doesn't make this actual foot infantry assaults. Actual infantry movement (the reasons I refered to "marching") that would make anti-personal mining reasonable doesn't exist anymore and would fail for a mix of modern reconnaissance and artillery precision nowadays 100 out of 100 times.
Speaking of artillery... Have you actually seen the locations totally bombed to the ground before Russians move forward another few meters. No amount of mining with anti-personal mines would survive that well enough to actually deter soldiers. It only leaves just enough somewhat still functional explosives behind that are as likely to kill some singular enemy soldier tomorrow as some civilians in 5 years.
You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance
No, I don't mean any absurd definition by a zionist lobbying organisation with the primary goal of shielding Israel's right-wing zealots from any criticism, but simple common sense.
So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people
You don't see that "From the river to the sea" used by people that -exactly like Israel's insane government- vehemently deny a two state solution makes a very clear statement about the continued existence of Israel, or more precisely the non-existence? You don't see how morons in Germany cheering for the attacks of October 7 2023 and offereing food and candy to passersby in celebration on the streets were very well understood to have used that slogan in exactly one way? That's interesting... if only in a sense that I now know that reality is lost on you.
Die Nachricht, dass eine fast 60 Jahre alte, in vielen Teilen der Welt erprobte Technik jetzt von der WHO weltweit empfohlen wird
Die Nachricht ist, dass "die Europäische Arzneimittelagentur die erste Vakzine per Impfköder für Hunde", "die für die meisten Tollwutfälle bei Menschen verantwortlich sind", autorisiert hat... Ende 2024.
And with this I achieved my ultimate bingo being called a genocidal israeli nazi, a jew hating terrorist supporter and a performative centrist in the last 48 hours... all in reaction to arguing the exact same points each time. 🎉
Not per se. But if criticising a genocide is seen as invalid if it doesn't also include that the respective other side is blameless and faultless, then it is indeed about the tribalism. If the fact that Palestinians for decades refused a two state-solution just like Israel in combination with slogans like "from the river to the sea" -thus also seeing a genocide as the only satisfying solution- does take away from or in any way diminishes Israel's genocide, you might care more about "your team" than about people dying.
Which is exactly the reasons why I already stated that "they should not be delivered" in my comment above. But the thing here is that we won't have that rational discussion about them when people still loudly scream at anti-air frigattes as support for a genocide. Ffs... even the aforementioned helmets ould fit that category better.
