And I'm sure you see that there might me somewhat of a slight issue with calling Ukrainian cities in Russian, considering the political situation.

You are purposely ignoring the point I am making - the suffering WILL NOT end if the war ends. It will become much worse in fact. The only outcome of the aid stopping is the complete conquest of the country, one has to be completely blind o

The war is not going well and I could see how cutting the western support could force the Ukrainian loss. We have seen that when the front started crumbling during the period when the ammunition supply from the US was interrupted for half a

Yes, I'm definitely not following your argument. You're claiming that keeping the war going is extending the human suffering, while pushing Ukraine towards losing it would somehow end the suffering. That's false. Ukraine unde

How can people keep repeating the russian talking point that equates helping Ukraine resist the invasion with "extending the suffering". Don't they know what kind of hell the occupied regions have become? One can't prete

This is straight up the official CCP party line you're repeating here. How Chinese people are somehow uniquely unsuited for democracy. The "multiparty democracy system in Taiwan is not seen as a positive thing" by whom? The T

The problem that the western countries face is that there is no "West", nor is there any sort of western strategy or longterm planning going beyond the horizont of the next elections/next financial quarter. Yet, the countries

"Public funding" is usually allocated for a specific purpose, as in, covering the cost of the scanning itself and after a lengthy bureaucratic process too. It's not free money. The museums are deathly afraid of losing control

You're quite right, actually "privatization" would be a wrong term here, but I feel like my point still stands. I am completely supportive of the release of the cultural heritage digitisations into the public domain, and I th

Yes, to be commercialized and privatized by the author. Somehow all of the "open access projects" on the authors website seem to be concerned with releasing 3D models scanned by others, and not you know, his own projects. I don&#x

Why exactly is non-commercial open access problematic? I think the author is going overboard by framing this as some kind of righteous crusade for the public access. After all, he is interested in making profit from this. Sure, public fundi

It is really crazy how ugly and tasteless that whole thing is. You would think the most powerful man in Russia would have access to better designers.

Quoting Zizek: "Don’t fall in love ... with your suffering. Never presume that your suffering is in itself proof of your authenticity. A renunciation of pleasure can easily turn in pleasure of renunciation itself.

A thing of note - this "near constant war" has always been fought against weaker nations, which the US military industrial complex has been able to outproduce utterly. China is a completely different kind of adversary and has hist
