Sorry I was a bit aggressive. I was mocking Trump's 'very fine people on both sides' because it felt like an attempt to say there is a justified way to use that term. But they use it just as a general insult for women.

Iran is attacking Israel. They could stop doing that anytime and have Israel leave them alone. That includes giving up on their uranium enrichment.

This is the ingrained propaganda that is clouding your understanding. Iran always complied (reasonably) with the NPT and seeks peaceful use of nuclear power. Just as Iraq didn't have WMDs. These lies are framing their resistance and defense against imperialist aggression as aggression on their side.

Obviously Iran isn't as nice and democratic, post racist and secular as the USA (/s) but they do have the right to defend themselves. Hezbollah is their tool. The US and Israel has theirs.

Worse? We have numbers for the respective body counts. They probably killed more Palestinian children in the last 8 months alone than Israeli victims in the entire history of terrorism against Israel.

Israel had decades of superior military power to ~~culturally genocide~~ re-educate Palestinians and create peace. Instead they chose fascism, oppression, and violence against their neighbors.

All the info is available.

But it ISN'T. The US mainstream media constantly lies and the US pushes propaganda all around the world. We've been fed disinformation for decades not just since Trump. So I can't just read up on them without a deep dive in trying to first find neutral sources and read and then evaluate them. If you just read the standard version about them your perception is going to be warped. Like I said, they have bad PR, which really means prevailing propaganda brands them as evil.

I don't like their religious views either but fundamentally they are guys in a militia fighting against foreign invaders and threats to their country.

A portion of the debris from collisions would enter elliptical orbits though so might need more time to de-orbit. But loosing all LEO satellites and even just 4-8 years without use of LEO would be an absolute catastrophe. You could still launch satellites to medium or geosynchronous orbit though.

Right, Israel just needs a bit more lebensraum in the east / the west bank.

Or I can set up my own private server where nobody can join, then I can have anarchy, totalitarianism and socialism all at once!

To bow, or bow down or kneel for. But I'm not going to google that for you haha. The basic problem is that starlink theoretically has immense power so it becomes a political tool. He bows to those ones but not to legitimate democratic interests.

Especially once starlink and others can make landline based internet connections obsolete by pricing them out - which they are not currently doing though, but it seems only a matter of time with competition. Basically we could get to a situation where there are only like 2 or 3 internet provider practically controlling internet globally.

The headline is genocide apologia and should be banned.

Turkey and Russia. It's clear that profit seeking corporations would bow, but then Elon screams bloody murder when reactionary forces in Brazil manipulating social media get censored.

The Maoist Communist Union

Wait, do communists have a union to fight against their exploitation by the communist functionaries?

 

Nothing spectacular but an interesting car free alternative to suburbia with high urban density and local small shops. If large enough could have it's own school and more amenities.
