  • Of course and I agree with how it should be.

    I’m glad we’re on the same page on that at least.

    This is strategy on her part, thats all it is,

    Of course it’s a strategy. This is literally her job, putting herself in situations like that to shine a light on it. That’s what activists do. It’s on the rest of us to do decide whether it’s worth doing something about to combat those issues the activists are highlighting or deciding that we don’t care.

    and you guys are thinking she is victim of abuse.

    Just because she put herself in that situation on purpose doesn’t mean she’s not a victim.i don’t think she particularly enjoys getting beaten. I’m pretty sure she would’ve preferred if the Israelis had let the ships pass but they all knew this wasn’t just a risk but the likely outcome.

    and act surprised when the obvious happens.

    Exactly zero people are surprised that’s how this whole thing ended.


  • So in your opinion if a prison guard beat up and maybe even killed an intimate that would totally be justified as long as the inmate was shouting verbal abuse at them beforehand? What kind of fucked up logic is that? If a prison guard can’t take verbal abuse they’re in the wrong job.

    Physically attacking someone simply because they’re shouting abuse at you is never a measured response and prison guards especially should be held to a higher standard than that.

    It doesn’t matter if “these people hate when they are not respected”, neither police officers nor prison guards can hit people whenever they feel like it.



  • Even when someone jams your WiFi you can still use WiFi by switching to a different frequency. I don’t know what range of frequencies are available to GPS systems but I’d imagine they’re broad enough that one can operate while the other is jammed.

    If you want to jam anything you need enough power to produce a strong enough signal to overwhelm the target’s receiver. I found the formula that lets you calculate how much power you’d need. In the example on the website the guy is trying to jam a radio 300m away. They need 7 watts to make 1db of noise. The power you need increases exponentially with the distance and with how much noise you want to make. That’s why I can easily see this going into the millions of watts when you want to jam the GPS of an aircraft 10+km away.

    That’s possible for one frequency but as I said, GPS most definitely has several frequencies it operates on so jamming all of them at once might not even be possible with current technology.

    freedom of the private press

    I apologise but my media literacy is so bad I can’t find where press is even mentioned in the document. The closest I could find is freedom of speech but those are two different things.

    As you admit, they focus on concepts like “separation of powers,” or “freedom of the private press,” or “political pluralism,” as well as “peaceful transition of power.” This fundamentally is meant to disqualify socialist concepts of democracy, focused on cooperation, cohesion, social unity, rule by the common people, and limiting of the powers of the wealthy over society.

    How do those “fundamentally disqualify” democracies that focus on “cooperation, cohesion, social unity, rule by the common people and limiting the powers of the wealthy over society”?

    I would have thought that separation of powers makes it easier to limit the power of the wealthy. Does that concept impede cohesion, cooperation, social unity or rule by the common people in any way? How can the common people have any chance to rule if you don’t have courts that make sure the law is upheld by the powerful?

    In my very limited worldview political pluralism plays a pivotal role in establishing a functioning socialist democracy. Yes, having many differing opinions on any given topic slows the decision making process down. However, how can you expect the marginalized to be represented in any way if you don’t have a party representing them? But I guess if you educate your people properly then even in a population of 1.4 billion people everyone’s political opinions can be represented by a single party.

    As for peaceful transition of power, how is that bad exactly?

    Since we’re cherry picking questions here, how do “government transparency”, " freedom of speech" or “rule of law” prohibit the rule of the common people? I would think that they only help strengthen the common people? How are they at odds with any of the other socialist concepts you mentioned?

    Please excuse my stupid questions, as you mentioned, my media literacy is terrible so I don’t even understand these really basic concepts.
