Removed Comment > If you’ve been anywhere on the Internet — Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — over the past five months I hate to be the one to break the news, but there are more services on the internet than just those three. I've managed to be on the internet for decades without making accounts on any of those platforms, longer than those have even been around. by TehPers@beehaw.org

Removed Comment "Try to keep up" is no more an ad hominem than "did you read the article?", and your comment labelling mine as an ad hominem is far more so than either. Please go ahead and ban me, if this is how your instance does things. by MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de

Removed Comment *says the same thing a second time*>> "your new argument is unrelated" Plenty disingenuous to merit being called on it. TIL, suggesting someone do the bare minimum in dismissing critique is an ad hominem. by MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de

Removed Comment You have no idea just how much worse a multipolar world would be. America has been keeping a lid on so many conflicts around the globe. In many cases, all it takes is not even a carrier group parked near a country that wants to destabilize a region through direct warfare (like Venezuela recently), but just a sternly worded letter. No other nation on Earth has this kind of power. What do you think would happen to the global trade you too are relying on if there weren't US ships patrolling international waters anymore? America is far from perfect, but there's nobody that can replace it any time soon. by DdCno1@beehaw.org

Removed Comment You're openly defending terrorists who are the furthest from freedom fighters imaginable. I have seen what these terrorists to do children. Hell, I've seen them shoot a family dog who was happily greeting them, before they murdered the family it belonged to. Have you? by DdCno1@beehaw.org

Removed Comment Since we are not living in a perfect world, there are no perfect solutions for anything. I don't envy people how have to make decisions like this one. It was the least terrible option, which is the best thing anyone can realistically hope for. If you're seriously expecting even a country as advanced as Israel to be able to pull of something like this without ever endangering a single civilian, then you're either hopelessly naive - or you don't want Israel to defend itself at all. I can excuse the former, but not the latter. Hezbollah attacked without provocation and they attacked first. It is impossible to justify this and Israel had every right to fight back against a threat this severe. by DdCno1@beehaw.org

Removed Comment I've seen surveillance camera footage of the explosions. They were so small and targeted that tomatoes on fruit stands mere centimeters next to the targets remained unspoiled. The shaped charges produced highly directed blasts designed to only injure a single person - and in the vast majority of cases, that's exactly what happened. Hezbollah could only claim that two children were killed, both children of Hezbollah members. That's tragic, since they are not responsible for the sins of their parents, but out of over 3500 explosions, that is an unbelievably small number of innocents. Footage of hospitals and the carnage in the streets meanwhile only - and I mean only - showed men of fighting age and slightly older men (like the Iranian ambassador) among those wounded by the explosions. Seriously, I was extremely curious of who was affected by the blasts and I could not find any photos or videos that showed victims of other demographics. It was rooms and corridors filled with fit young men. The one thing that affected innocents the most was that these wounded terrorists overwhelmed the Lebanese healthcare system for a short while and that thus civilians were often denied care in the aftermath of the attack. Another minor thing was panic about civilians about electronic devices in general, with people fearing that any device could be remotely detonated, but this was of course unfounded, since only pagers (and, a day later, walkie-talkies) prepared with explosives exploded. This attack crippled Hezbollah, vastly reducing the threat they are posing to the entire region, not just Israel. Without the pager attack, Syria would not have been liberated from the butcher Assad, since the terror group was vital in keeping armed opposition down and preserving Iran's foothold in the country. That's a good thing. by DdCno1@beehaw.org

Removed Comment They were not indiscriminate. Words have meanings. Only pagers owned by Hezbollah fighters had explosives in them. Compared to any other military action of this scale in history, the number of civilian casualties, while still tragic at an individual level, was unfathomably small. by DdCno1@beehaw.org

Removed Comment No, it was a protest that, like many in this country, featured instances of vandalism and violence as a direct result of bad crowd control and escalation by law enforcement. Calling it an insurrection means accepting a precedent for harsher criminalization of future protests of all types and their associated movements, especially the ones that threaten capital. It also means dishonoring the likes of heros who really did go for it, like John Brown. by CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work
