mobby_6kl posted:Modern materials and building methods and fire suppression definitely decreased the risk and severity of fires, even in the US where everything is made from wood apparently i agree that modern materials and construction methods are generally less flammable than a century ago, but the decreases during the period you highlight might be linked with stricter flammability standards on items in the home rather than the building material GhostofJohnMuir fucked around with this message at 02:47 on May 18, 2021 |

Fame Douglas posted:"Modern cities aren't as flammable as historical ones" seems like a very dubious claim to me. Populations are way higher these days, and tons of wooden houses in the US especially. Or insulation material that might burn.

Main Paineframe posted:That's classic nationalist rhetoric, deployed by various revanchist entities throughout the 20th century. Declaring the need for a dedicated state for _insert ethnicity here_ for all members of that ethnicity to flee to in order to escape oppression is a typical move, and once they get this state it's often not long before they start oppressing the new minorities in their territory and engaging in aggressive foreign policy against neighbors, using the need to "protect" _insert ethnicity here_ as their excuse as they establish an _ethnicity_ supremacist state with ambitions to expand their territory in pursuit of some Greater _nation_ justified by extremely tenuous historical claims often set in a nationalist mythology. I think is a good post and I'd like to piggyback off of it. Understanding how nationalism actually works is also the key to understanding why Netanyahu is able to pal around with Victor Orban despite his regime in Hungary being ground zero for the nakedly anti-Semitic (((Soros))) poo poo that animates so much of the danger non-Israeli Jewish people face in their home nations. Bibi and his ilk do not give a gently caress if a synagogue gets shot up in Pittsburgh because of it, because in their minds, what were those Jews doing in Pittsburgh in the first place? They were asking for it, living outside of Israel

Bibi literally propagates antisemitism internationally to rile up his base, and also so that the victims of it “flee” to Israel in order to escape it, and understandably by the time they get there they’re very jaded and distrustful so far straight into bibis nationalist rhetoric.

There's nothing that advances a nationalist cause better than perceived injustice and persecution. That's straight out of the playbook of any nationalist of any creed. It's worked so well for Netanyahu that he seems to have radicalised Israeli society as a whole, swinging the Overton window way out to the right. It's desperately sad because even when he's gone that legacy of intolerance will remain.

It’s just as bad now as ever and we’re still helping the Saudis just as much as before! Also get ready for the war in Afghanistan to continue as well, despite Biden saying he’ll withdraw all troops by later this year. I’m sure something will come up that necessitates our troops staying there, or he’ll just outsource the war to PMCs, or something else that won’t really change anything. Biden and Democrats love war and empire. He’ll give statements that sound ok and the press will cover him glowingly, and then nothing will come of it and everyone will forget that nothing ended up changing.

This may be a long shot but I found this extremely distasteful https://twitter.com/Breaking911/sta...mber%3D765pti20 Does anyone else remember Rachel Corrie? She was run over by an IDF bulldozer in Gaza in 2003, and at the time I remember the general opinion was its her fault (Go Bush and Fox media). And with this Biden clip, it seems hes taking the same view.

It was more like cringe. If anything I had to wiki her name cause it was so obscure. Its just another step in Bidens missteps and gaffes with regards to current events. In some states they have laws saying you can run over protestors. Maybe making those jokes isnt the best, where as it would be ok in the 80s?

Herstory Begins Now posted:I look forward to seeing what you have to back this up https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/04/congress-presses-biden-administration-answers-yemen-war quote:Nonetheless, the Pentagon acknowledged in an email to reporters on Saturday that private US contractors continue to provide maintenance for the Royal Saudi Air Force, a service essential for Riyadh’s bombing of Houthi positions. So again, what substantive actions has the Biden administration taken to actually reverse the US’s military aid to Saudi Arabia and to help end the war in Yemen? It’s nothing but platitudes and lip-service without the action to back it up. It’s the same poo poo Obama and Democrats (and Trump for that matter) did with the war in Afghanistan: promising to end the war on the campaign trail but not actually ending it in any meaningful way when in power. If the Biden administration can’t even bother to follow up with meaningful details about this then I don’t have faith that anything has really changed. Anything can be classified as a “defensive war.” It’s mindless nonsense.
