  • Ah they're attacking civilians because their feelings on attacking civilians are so strong they'll do anything to stop it. Like attack civilians.

    Literally any other course of action for their "protest" would be better. What they're doing is abhorrent, like Hamas, like Israel.

  • If you let them do this with no response every idiot nation with a coastline is going to think shooting civilian sailors is a good way to get shit done.

    Allowing them to get away with it is escalatory for the world.

  • The action of attacking random ships in international waters?

    This is piracy, and it puts huge numbers of civilian lives at direct risk and increases the chance someone else will also do it in future.

    The entire international community has a duty to stop this by almost any means.

    Their reasons for attacking civilian shipping in international waters could not be less important to the situation.

  • I agree with this but also I'm not sure if this isn't already a proxy war with iran-russia, and it also seems to benefit china too.

    And even if netanyahu wasn't an arse, he's totally reliant on some awful people to stay in power, and out of prison, for however long he can manage both.

    Pushing back publically against his actions now is equivalent to demanding regime change in Israel and while I think it would be a good thing I can see why geopolitically it's difficult for the US to do.

  • I think you have to look at the money here. The most charitable view for substack is their payment provider doesn't ban Nazis, and their VC funders don't want them to ban Nazis, and so they don't really have a choice.

    I think substack is well up for being a nazi bar based on what they've said so I'm happy to give them some blame but I won't be letting the other two off the hook either.

  • It seemed extremely suspicious to me at the time they required councils to do ltns or lose funding.

    Even with all that has happened I still find it easier to believe different people in government had different goals, but I can't disagree it looks a lot like forcing councils to do something they can use to mobilise their base.
