“In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience.”

Sadly the protestors never had a chance. The Iranian regime will hold on unless the people are ready for the next step. I could easily see this turning into another long and drawn out affair like the Syrian civil war.

if they weren’t serious, there wouldn’t be a deal.

Yeah I guess they wouldn’t be working on the 20th sanctions package if they weren’t serious /s

These cute little deals and sanctions packages are rolled out periodically to make it look like they’re doing something substantial to counter Russia.

In reality they’re easy political wins that don’t make many waves, in Russia or with EU voters.

The proof is in the outcome, 4 years on since the full invasion and Putin is as emboldened as ever. Maybe we just need to wait for the 21st sanctions package to hit, maybe then he’ll rethink things.

We’re coming up on the 4 year anniversary of the invasion. If Europe wanted to use these assets they would have done so already. The willingness just isn’t there.

That’s a choice. And it’s Belgium, the rest of Europe could have pressured them into doing the right thing but they’re not that serious about Russia so they didn’t.

Oh they could have used them. They chose not to.

Definitely shameful, I was hoping to see Europe develope a spine in the wake of the US losing theirs. That was wishful thinking.

I only had a few users and a couple of TBs so I did it manually, only took an hour or so but there are ways to automate it.

Switched my users to Jellyfin this spring when Plex first announced this move, pretty seamless transition.

I actually prefer Jellyfin and it’s UI compared to the new one Plex rolled out on Roku, what a mess that is to navigate now.

Google’s AI will often pretend to have heard of a phrase even if it hasn’t. Usually it can infer pretty well but sometimes it will just be flat out wrong. In this case it nailed it.

Very wholesome thread so far so I’ll keep it that way but if anyone can find the Mr. Coffee video that was on NewsFilter.org circa 2006 please PM me a link. Its haunted me for years.

And yet that is the answer I most relate with.

Defending against genocide by conducting terrorist attacks on ships, killing the crew and taking them hostage? Crews that have fuck all to do with Israel?

Your tankie test came back. It’s terminal.

Did this box of yours get lost in shipping?

I mean that’s exactly what you sounded like.

So sick and tired of the Palestine bullshit being dragged into every conversation.

He went unhinged in the last few years.

Said america deserved 911.

Said Crimea is Russian territory.

Backs China’s takeover of Tibet.

Backs the “reeducation camps” China has for the Uyghurs.

Plays Houthi terrorist propaganda videos and backs Hezbollah.

He went from a reasonable Bernie supporter to a full blown tankie in just a few years.

Yeah they definitely sound like your average Hasan viewer.

She’s a hell of a grifter. Her YouTube channel pulls in a lot of views.

I think Rogan does serious numbers in audio form. Lots of people still listen to audio only podcasts.

Left and right. Hasan is the Tucker Carlson of the left.

I’m just using caddy and a cheap $2 a year .top domain with a $4 a month VPS. Works for my users, I only have 3 users on my server.

Same. My only use is accidental.

Guess I’m should get around to disabling it.
