Well. It makes more sense to me now. Not the Israel part, I’ll never figure out why any remotely civilized society would side with them on anything, but at least the Iran thing is just greedy capitalistic corruption.
What am I missing about Israel? Why have they been, not even enabled by most of the globe, but emboldened, to obliterate Gaza, and now start to do the same to Iran?
It’s one thing to do all this in the name if religion, self-defence, money, etc. But not one thing I have read seems to even give a solid reason as to why the western world has been largely supportive of them seemingly using every dirty trick in the book, and even inventing new ways, to bypass or flagrantly ignore international laws on war.
The amount of information pointing to complete and total annihilation of large swaths of civilized areas in Gaza seems staggering. Couple that with forced starvation, aid blocking, torture and execution of civilians, and we’ve got war crimes on steroids.
Now, they are seemingly encouraged to do the same to Iran?
Like I said, the reasoning is mind-boggling, but articles about active suppression of any entity that speaks out about this is just downright scary. In what were considered more civilized societies, with free speech and democratic core values, I’ve read chilling pieces on crackdowns on anyone not siding with Israel. Others pointing fingers at public figures for a remark against them. Some even loosing their jobs. Why?
Is the information I am reading just propaganda?
Can someone please explain what I am missing here?
Will some people grift the system for free money? Maybe, but the benefits to those who really need it outweighs the people misusing it, in my opinion anyways.
That’s some medieval shit if they just stood around while she died.
I’m not sure what laws can be thrown at this, though I expect whatever they are, they won’t be nearly enough to truly have a fraction of the appropriate justice served to all involved in her death.
I struggled with this a while ago. The advent of ai and more capitalist strangulation just seem to have made that same feeling worse.
So, what did I do? I stepped out of IT as profession completely, first of all. I’m just a worker bee now. I still have to use some tech for work, but minimal. I realize I am lucky to have been able to do this, but it helped me immensely having corporate tech be more of a choice.
At home tech is a hobby. I self host what I need, and use what I must to get by and screw the rest. If an open source project even hints at corporate influence, I immediately start looking for something else. It’s a pain sometimes, but it’s part of the hobby.
Couple this with trying my best to spend more time outdoors, learning new tangible skills, and just leaning more towards offline time in general really quiets my mind. And stay away from national and international news as much as you can. That stuff is poison.
Best of luck! In my own experience, finding a balance is not an easy thing to do.
From that height? That would be a poopedo, or maybe a turd missle?
