oct7 was the (likely) biggest military fuckup in history.

most militarised and surveilled border in the world. with advanced warning from Egypt. was overrun by a handful of guys in hang gliders and scooters, they took over a military base, a town, and a music festival. it took the military SEVEN hours to respond (Israel is tiny, you could have driven from it’s furthest point in less time). and in their response they likely killed more israelis than Hamas did in their attack.

it’s beyond pathetic, they proved that its army is unable to defend anything. All their “Defense” forces can do is slaughter unarmed civilians.

he can change it, we all can,

participate in your community, find local mutual aids…

it’ll make you feel much better, less powerless, and make their neighbourhood a much better place to be.

id love solarpunk,

my only complaint is that it is too vague, and sometimes ends up being an esthetic rather than an ideology. especially when coopted by corporations making mockups of corporate building covered in plants.

sorry, my concept was vague, what community you want to make?

thanks, i shouldn’t be online with a migraine. my bad. correcting now

my point is that a society optimise for an individual ends up being needlessly wasteful and miserable for an individual.

a society were time is so scarse that is in your best interest to have someone barely making a living so you can have overpriced cold meals, because having time to just exist and do groceries and cook is unfeasible.

however a more collectivist and less atomised society you would rarely be in such situation in the first place

5th paragraph

yes, because the optimal solution is clearly the most extreme counterexample you can imagine

Any country selling weapons to Israel deserves to have it’s leaders in jail for war crimes.

i googled, and said he’s “deeply saddened”

but read this quote from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (has jurisdiction over that church in Gaza)

> “The (Israel Defense Forces) makes every feasible effort to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian structures, including religious sites, and regrets any damage caused to them,” (that was in idf quote, i misread the article)

btw, that’s the same church and the same IDF that had snipers targeting women seeking shelter in that church. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Nahida_and_Samar_Anton

new pope is too busy covering pedos.

i know Israelis who believe they get hurt if they enter a church.

honestly, I don’t think this convo is going anywhere, I just miss speaking Spanish.

it’s the situation where it makes sense because we capitalise every aspect of human existence, so it makes sense for an individual to do so.

but not as a society.

sucks that English became the international language, that language is painfully inconsistent.

although preferable to french

“I am careful” would be translated as “Soy cuidadoso”

every Catholic who supports Israel should have been in that church.

yet you can have depression?

and how are those “individualistic” societies doing?

consequences of having human living spaces designed to prioritize non human entities,
