  • I sometimes wonder if they're just bad at it, so the astro turfing is obvious. The people posting have to be immersed in and understand the western site to blend in while remaining loyal to a very different kind of home communication and they often don't manage it, and if they do that difference makes them stand out.

    While we have dozens of western police show up in any discussion of police violence to explain that it's really hard. Not even astroturfing, I think, just people being themselves. Aside from being obviously police their posting style blends in perfectly, if there were western astroturf campaigns I think they would blend perfectly and use much more subtle techniques

  • I see the murders out in force in this thread, so keen to stop innocent civilians being killed they cheer on people...shooting at civilians.

    Hamas attacking Israel civilians is wrong Israel attacking palastinian civilians is wrong Houthis attacking civilian sailors is wrong

    Is not complicated and anyone who can't see it needs to go outside and rub themselves in grass.

  • Western military uses bombs and missiles from planes not artillery. There isn't much artillery ammo because our military isn't set up to use it.

    Ukraine doesn't have the air superiority to risk doing the same thing so the way they fight doesn't match the way Europe or the us does.

  • Yes, or attempts at lightning strikes that force the response to not be defence but invasion of a recently invaded country.

    The attack on Ukraine was an attempt at this, and would have fractured NATO had it worked because it would work just as well against Estonia

  • This is a bit unfair, for all its gigantic problems the creation engine is much better at supporting modding than unity or unreal.

    Perhaps a more deterministic scripting engine would be better but it'd be easy to lose the one thing that makes their games good. I still can't believe they thought starfield would work with the modding tools MIA four months out

  • He once claimed that while food banks were necessary there were too many food banks due to do-gooders starting them to feel better about themselves. And that people could feed themselves on 30p a day if they knew how to budget.

    This turned out to be a local food bank that managed to feed a load of people on £50 that worked out to 30p each for one meal. Obviously not something you can do at home however good your budgeting

  • I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don't choose anything, especially they don't choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters

  • Of course they "had ties", international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.

    Attacking a civilian ship "Once registered in Britain" thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it's an obvious war crime.

    The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.

  • You can earn 5k and spend 10k if you get a pay rise of 5k next month

    In practice they spend a few percent more than they take in taxes and grow by a little more or less than that. COVID was a big jump in real debt but other than that it's generally stable ish

    It's not obviously unsustainable
