JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.
You can fight evil without imitating nazi and building a more destructive society than what they did. Just look around yourself, you don’t need a military industry complex to defend yourself, governments spend trillions on wars because it benefits their authority and to attack other nations, not to defend themself. Look at 400$ drones defeating million dollars tanks. Ukraine government too demands for more weapons because they want to attack back, not because it benefits the people who’s land is now reduced to waste.
They want their people and their territories been freed.
The people of Ukraine are enslaved to their own fascist government to begin with which doesn’t allow any male between 18 and 60 to leave the country. The fights over rubble and operations in crimea are not poor people defending themself, it’s the ukrainian government playing war on their own. People can and will defend themself without a corrupted government. Warlords and politicians profits out such situation to increase their wealth and authority

“The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual… Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly”

They didn’t lose money, which is what they care for. They also don’t lose much power on people because these who are leaving are most likely smart people that twitter and other companies don’t want in the first place. Their business plan is to rely on stupid people, just like apple do selling their overpriced products, they know that no matter what as long as they stay relevant there will be idiots following the trend. Purging smart people benefits them because they can create a bigger circlejerk and keep at bay potential troublemakers. Their fail is in the total lack of foresight but big tech and capitalism never ever gave a shit about what’s not directly under their nose.
Someone who buys overpriced proprietary products designed to stop working so that you replace them, from a company known to scam people, is the opposite of smart
Mobile phones are toys designed not to be professional devices at all. Photographers use real cameras, journalists, business men, programmers, don’t type their shit on a 1 inch touch keyboard.
If you want your tech to just work you don’t buy apple products that gets locked in by updates and have all sort of incompatibilities, some of their shit doesn’t even have usb ports
Why would you want one? They are overpriced, unreliable and closed in all possible ways. You can’t change os as you want or swap a component in these. Look at pinebooks or similar devices or used laptops which are well supported by the community like old thinkpads. If you need a more powerful device buy a desktop
get a laptop with a removable battery and you can swap as many as you want also i doubt you will be much time away from a power switch. As for processing power if you need to do anything serious you are supposed to do it on a desktop
Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

These people are some of the biggest money junkies on earth. They are so addicted to money that they wouldn’t mind wrecking everything around them for some profits. At this point I don’t think they qualify to do anything good for society
If they are bigger than all other competitors they probably manufacture their elevators in china and profit on cheap labor. They also probably own all sort of these silly patents about pressing a button with a finger of walking at a certain angle
Microsoft owns github and google run android. They have worked and invested a lot in open source projects except they do it only out of convenience and it’s just a fraction of what they actually do. Making proprietary software available for linux only extend companies reach.
Steam policies are against everything linux stand for. It’s a closed source third party launcher where they rent games under DRM and steal all sort of data while doing so. Valve created a small monopoly in wich videogames makers are abducted in routing their games through their useless launcher to get some visibility. They also abducted people to install their proprietary app to play certain games.
Valve pushed drms on the game industry, before they monopolized the market you used to buy the cd or install a game without the need of a useless proprietary launcher
In the world we live in weapons are never used for defense but mostly for attack. We have even more reasons to ditch weapons in the world we live in rather than in an ideal world where world leaders aren’t corrupted politicians tripping on power
You just tricked yourself. If they are in a defensive war like you said then there must also be an attacker. In all the cases you mentioned the faction attacking is armed with way more weapons being used for attack. This highlight exactly what i’m saying, which is that weapons are mostly made for attack not for defense.
If a bunch of goons come to take your house and you fight them off, you are defending yourself. If the government decides to expropriate your house and you fight them off you are a criminal.
If we have any duty at all it to fight against all sort of injustice. Funding the mafia and orchestrating terrorist attacks to scare off people in order to stop “communism” to me sound just as scummy as your idea of communism you claim we have a duty to stop.
Anyway I encourage you to learn history and learn about communism, read Marx books. You are not supposed to like it or agree with it, just read it to actually understand what it is about
The nazis were literally stopped by stalin and his troups. Could you explain how communism is so bad that orchestrating a terrorist attack against civilians and murder childrens to blame them is justified?
Nato and usa tried to stop “communism” with the help of former nazis.
