maybe these tech companies do not subscribe to your notion of modern day gestapo (an organization that was involved in killing 10+ million people in horrible ways) or a "genocide" that is minuscule in comparison to american bombin

This thread is an exaggeration. Disney could have operated Micky Mouse themed casinos on its premises with probable success, it could also lobby to change regulation that is associated with that. However companies have balancing factors whi

Oh the magical solution to "we are having too many meetings", which is always "let's have a meeting about too many meetings". Saw it play out in five places already, I thought a 150 year old company would be over th

Not sure how the entire Nazi comparison plays out, but at the time there were good reasons to imagine the Soviets will fall apart (as they initially did) Stalin just finished purging his entire officer corps, which is not a good omen for wa

There are many reasons why using Israel as a scapegoat is useful internationally and it is not contained to european countries with a history of the holocaust (putting aside Ireland's relations with the Nazis) For a quick understanding

I am not saying whether this war is regrettable or isn't and who is more right in this context I am saying that the term "genocide" that is thrown around very lightly seems to me as an attempt to erase the actual genocide by

The underlying subtext if I read it correctly is I had a lot of chances because I was lucky to be born into a specific background when you start subscribing to determinism (i was ordained by my parents to succeed), the logical next step is

It's interesting how the American narrative changed from "hard work will make you succeed" to "only privilege will make you succeed". I think the newer iteration is just setting the country for failure and is an exc

I am talking about the Norwegian government post-1945 which included people who participated in a genocide of the actual real kind. I am also talking about the responsibility of such a nation whose entire state apparatus is successor to tha

Similar to other racial categories these do not have a real link to reality, and are mostly artifacts of how racist tried to link these to something tangible (Think how White is applied to a specific subset of people with pale skin)

I remember Windows containers have two modes of operation as a Hyper-V VM and some sort of container-like isolation. I think the reason is that they had to quickly ship "containers" initially and that Windows does not have a kerne

You should read the story again, there is only a mention of a tank, so I think you are wrong

There were no such death squads. Hamas killed a thousand Israeli civilians in 12 hours, if Israel used the same tactics (mass civilian executions by gun fire, einsatzgruppen style), most of the Gaza population would be killed by now (milli

I don't think ethnonationalism is the cause for war, yes it does historically break up when you force two nations speaking different languages and separate communities in one country. However, there are enough examples to stable nation

I don't know, people are very persistent about this specific incidence. If I understand correctly this is a family that drove around tanks and were shot as something that unfortunately happens around live active war zones. Your depicti

Yes, it is usually used as a talking point against Israel which seems to indicate Israel is guilty of being the only ethnonationalist nation on earth. I usually take it as another example of scapegoating Israel for universal concepts like w

last time I checked a basic part of a trial is the mere existence of it is not a proof of guilt.. While most of your argument is the fact that because South Africa has sued Israel in international court then it is somehow proof of genocide.

Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza is thought by some to be "genocide", though it was far less destructive, more precise and not aimed at a civilian population as compared to the above

no, I am saying war is not genocide. And protecting your own civilians from very real death squads going on executing rampage is not "genocide" it's called war, which might be terrible but sometimes you can't evade
