I would rather give them a higher amount of higher-cost and more accurate weapons. I know why the US wouldn’t, and why Ukraine accepts this. It’s their choice in the end.
I don’t think we particularly need to celebrate this though.
“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.
Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.
Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.
Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I’m still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.
😆 No, I meant Windows. I gave it a brief shot after some trouble with Linux gaming, but the user experience was much worse.
I tried once the last decade and it was a pretty bad user experience.
Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.
IDK; I blame them.
YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.
Frankly it should be publicly owned.
CrimethInc and itsgoingdown both have some good ones.
Behind the Bastard’s episodes on Makhno are mandatory.
All that effort just to not install uBlock Origin.
There are plenty of Marxists and Marxist-derived socialists who aren’t Tankies.
They just don’t make up the majority.
And Stalinist, Maoists, and other authoritarian Communists.
Usually they also “love” countries like North Korea, China, and for whatever reason (aNtI iMpErIaLiSm), Syria, Russia, and so on.
Red Fascists. They use the same tactics of gas lighting and goal post shifting.
We’ll have to see, but by my past experiences with Tankies and other authoritarians, I don’t expect reasonable behavior.
They are trying to force users into their app is what they were thinking.
Since the developers are the problem, it’s probably not likely they’ll implement. But I’ll keep on eye on this and maybe contribute if there is a soft fork.
Does it have that boring cartoon look of III, or is grit at least back?
I have to hope that main instances will stop federating Lemmygrad at some point. There’s no place, IMO, for genocide denial/affirmation and authoritarian extremism on platforms like these. Or any platforms.
Edit: Seems this is unfortunately unlikely as the lemmy.ml instance appears to be moderated by a genocide denier and authoritarian.

The most disturbing thing I’ve seen is the evidence that Lemmy.ml is controlled by a genocide-supporting red fascist/third positionists. If that’s true, its a massive issue and makes the platform hard to trust.
Very open to learning that this isn’t true, if it isn’t.
I quite like that Beecaw doesn’t federate the Tankies.
I don’t really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.
My feelings about beehaw as a community changed today, which is why I’m leaving.
But I will give some thought to it. Maybe if the admins don’t delete it I can leave it in place and the comments and posts can be of some use to someone.
