The parents are responsible for their children: if they don’t want famine, stop the war, change out the government. Leave the country. But stay and keep the russian war machine going by contributing to the economy? Complicit. The elderly? They can still act. They can resist. They can sabotage

How are the citizens of a country *not* responsible for the actions taken by their government and fellow citizens? If your tax money funds genocide, you are complicit. If your actions fund the factories that make bombs sent to kindergardens in Ukraine, you are complicit in the murder of children

Until they act: topple the government, sabotage the war effort, stop sending their sons to kill innocents, stop paying taxes, they deserve to starve if that’s what’s needed to stop them. Why would you want to sustain a horrific genocidal war?

I’m not dehumanizing anyone. I’m saying the russians are responsible. It’s not just Putin, not just the government. It’s russia’s war. They are all paying taxes, fueling the war machine. They are assembling the drones. They are intentionally targeting innocent Ukrainians. Abducting children

Fascists always need an external threat to point to in order to explain away their own shortcomings and justify further dismantling democracy

A people that supports genocide against their neighbors deserve all that is coming to them. Why do they not deserve the same pain they are inflicting on their so-called ‘brothers’ in Ukraine? They send their sons to kill. Murder. Rape. Steal. An awful ‘society’. A vile culture

Helt spinnvilt å late som at Trump er en normal republikansk president. Når han er en diktator in spe og jobber nå med å normalisere kidnapping deportasjon av dem han ikke liker til fengsler i utlandet, uten lov og dom, utført av maskerte og væpnede menn som ikke identifiserer seg

How about, he is a man without empathy, decency, and honor, and there are thousands of decent people who devote their lives to actually working for peace who deserve it more?

Ikke ett ord om kjerneproblemet: statsmakten har bestemt at en plante som er langt mindre skadelig enn alkohol kun skal kunne selges av kriminelle gjenger, uten noen form for kontroll, herunder aldersgrenser. Politiet sørger for det 🤗

How the fuck did the Czechs, of all people, not learn from WW2? A fascist is knocking on Europe’s door, and the Czechs go: ‘Oh, this time around, all will be fine. Let’s elect a nationalist who will try to tear down the European cohesion that is keeping us safe 🤗’

To prevent Ukraine from facing ammunition shortages, participating countries should finalise new contracts in the coming month, before the new government is formed and can terminate them, write Karel Solař and Lesia Ogryzko @ecfreuropeansec.bsky.social

Czechs and balances: Protecting Ukraine aid from the new government in Prague

Andrej Babis’s populist party won the Czech parliamentary election with the mantra of “Czechia first” and a promise to stop sending ammunition to Ukraine. Another European country, such as Finland…

Ja, enig. Europa må gi Ukraina langdistansevåpen så de kan ta ut disse kapasitetene i Russland. Trump er helt klart det perfekte bakteppet ja, fra Putins ståsted

Samtidig må vi være forsiktige med å etablere en presedens der konstante trusler og krenkelse av luftrom blir en ny normal. Vi må sette hardt mot hardt, det eneste språket russerne forstår. Sender du droner for å krenke luftrommet vårt bomber vi fasilitetene du bruker for å gjøre dette

Ja, enig i at dronebeskyttelse sannsynligvis krever integrerte systemer der mange mange ulike plattformer som kan identifisere og spore dem, samt ulike plattformer som kan ødelegge dem, snakker sammen. Har stor tro på interceptor-droner

🦅🇺🇦 FT: Ukraine is shifting to mass-produced interceptor drones to counter Russia’s swarming Shahed and Gerbera drones.

“The Sting” — A bullet-shaped, $2,100 “drone killer” by Wild Hornets, capable of speeds over 315 km/h. Claimed to have downed 600 Russian drones so far, with ~70% effectiveness.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

Nå må lederne våre faen meg ta seg sammen. Man kan ikke kjempe mot billige kinesiske og iranske droner med verdens dyreste jagerfly. Europa må ta ut produksjon og logistikk for disse truslene, noe vi er i vår fulle rett til

Ja, det er en helt barbarisk kultur, helt blottet for empati og medmenneskelighet. Og russere flest synes dette er helt ok. Avskyelige folk. Russland må knuses akkurat slik nazi-Tyskland ble det. Med vold. De må kjenne smerten. Bare da kanskje de ender med selvransakelse. Men det vil ta generasjoner

Alle slike forslag må møtes med en antagelse om at ALT vi driver med av digital sporing av individer kommer til å bli misbrukt av fascister en gang i fremtiden

Men _hvorfor_ det?
_Hvorfor_ skal rene propaganda-uttalelser (tildels i åpenbar motstrid med beviselige realiteter) fra en fiendtlig krigsmakt, formidles umiddelbart som rent refererende nyhetsmeldinger og først kontekstualiseres i ettertid?
Hva taper vi med å _vente_ til de "utdypende artiklene"?

Espen Aas @nrkesp1.bsky.social · 8d

Det du poster bilder av er et nyhetssenter, som poster løpende nyheter fra byråer og egne medarbeidere. Her postes nyheter som de kommer. Det inkluderer selvsagt uttalelser fra toppledere. Deretter behandles slik informasjon videre i utdypende artikler.

Mulig jeg misforstod deg: Hva mente du med at ‘det er en stor og tverrpolitisk klubb på X’ da?

Richard @casuallycausal.bsky.social · 8d

Du reklamerer jo bokstavelig talt for X i denne tråden. Da bør du vel også kunne forsvare å bruke plattformen?

Hva tenker du om å bidra til en plattform der eieren bedriver regelrett desinformasjon og manipulasjon, da?

Folk som fortsatt bruker X er medløpere i Musks antidemokratiske prosjekt. Du kan ikke fortsette der inne med mindre du gir totalt faen i alt som heter samfunnsansvar. Brukermassen kan flytte—det skjer én bruker av gangen

I don’t see how an honest and moral human being can remain on a platform that sustains itself by destroying democracies… Just look at how they reprogram Grok after it happens to tell people the actual truth
