noumenon1111··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
There's no proof of that. However there is proof of Israel invoking the Hannibal directive on Oct 7 and torching hundreds of cars from the air, which were then buried.

Have you seen the video evidence Israel says they have of Hamas's brutality? I haven't either.

> destruction of Israel and murder of all Jews

You people keep saying this is what Hamas wants. I've read the original scary charter everyone keeps pointing at. They never say to murder Jews. They do say to dismantle the apartheid state and replace it with a justice oriented one. That doesn't require marching 7 million Israelis into the sea, it just requires a regime change.

And while they're at it, forget about Israel being an ethnostate and give the 5 million Arabs without any representation a vote.

If you knew anything about how Iran is doing this, you'd know they are happy to throw money or materiel at anyone who can put together a force against Israel, or even Serbia during the Bosnian war. They hardly direct or control anything afield, other than being mostly ideologically aligned. They don't need to pull puppet strings like you say. They happily work with resistance forces regardless of sect.

It was expert timing on the commenter's and the developer's part. Opus 5.5 still doesn't show under coding though.

noumenon1111··on Civilization Is Not the Default. Violence Is
Many native Iberians who were Muslim were either driven out or were paid an unexpected visit by the Spanish Inquisition.
noumenon1111··on Civilization Is Not the Default. Violence Is
He glosses over Muslim history and al-Andalus with a "the Muslims were driven out of Spain" like Spain itself wasn't Muslim for almost 800 years. And then, the Enlightenment created the most peaceful time in human history, really? Seems like mutual assured destruction is what makes peace, not sound philosophy.

People are forgetful and argumentative, by nature. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can have nice things.

noumenon1111··on Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car
"Ethnic cleansing" is such a nice word. "Etničko čišćenje" is what the Serb paramilitaries called raping and murdering a population to make them leave. "Remove kebab" as the later meme culture would call it. It's so trite, and a little funny it seems. We should call it what it is: *genocide*; thereby robbing the perpetrators of any semblance of cleanliness or propriety.

Monsters are filthy. Let's call them the filthy monsters they are.

noumenon1111··on Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car
No. Better technology is only making it more efficient. We need better humanity, better morals, better policing of criminals in power.

noumenon1111··on Anthropic drops flagship safety pledge
That's hilarious, and very sweet.

Humans are, by nature, forgetful and argumentative. Fourteen hundred years ago, the Qur'an said this unequivocally (20:115, 18:54, 22:8, 18:73). Not to moralize here, I'm just saying if camel-herders could build a medieval superpower out of nothing, they knew something we don't.

Any state or system that insists good humans are always nice, smart, cogent, and/or aware is doomed to fail. A Washington or a Cincinnatus that can get out of his own way (and that of society) is rare indeed, a one-in-a-billion soul. We shouldn't sit around and wait for that, while your run-of-the-mill dictator in a funny hat (or a funny toupée for that one orange fellow) has his way with us.

If you're trying to remotely attest immutable OSs you are definitely not a home user, or if you are, you're definitely very keen at least and likely a raging self-masochist.

If you're NOT trying to remotely attest anything, you're fine. Just use your chosen OS, dawg.
