It’s status. Apple is regarded as more expensive and high quality.

Why? They are drunk and having fun.

This tactic only needs to work in one of ten cases to worthwhile.

Understandable. You seem to have reflected on this pretty well.

Emotions can carry us away sometimes, especially when it’s about something we care about deeply.

On iOS, I use the website with Safari with 1blocker to block the ads. Works well.

Dehumanization is always a bad idea.

Fascism is extremism of the center. It’s base are the small business owners, petit bourgeois, the pickup driving contractor.

No, the borders to Egypt and Israel are closed. There are limited exceptions for medical treatment in Israel. Egypt let in people with the right paperwork (typically by paying a bribe) at the beginning of the war.

It’s very unusual for people not being able to flee from a warzone. Not giving them the option to leave is against the convention on refugees.

The Israeli navy makes it impossible to leave by boat.

Israel could allow Gazans to flee to the West Bank, but so far haven’t done so. Egypt also isn’t interested in opening the border so far, for fear of the refugees not being able to return at a later date. Egypt is afraid of another terrorist group in its country, especially one that threatens the peace with Israel.

It’s an interactive checklist.

I like that you’re theft and robbery as comparisons, because these have a major difference. Robbery always includes violence or the threat of violence.

You shoplift a candy bar from a Korean owned shop. Your fathers house was burgled by Koreans who killed your mother and stole all jewelry and the car.

Not the same.

How could I quote something that’s not in the linked article?

Your link doesn’t say what you claim it does.

Giving someone birth control (depo shot) for a short time so they don’t pregnant during a transitional refugee phase is a sensible precaution. Yes, the women didn’t fully understand what was happening. This was also caused by language and communication barriers.

Calling this chemical castration is outlandish.

The whole story is Antizionist slander.

The threat needs to be credible though. One bomb is not enough because it could be destroyed in a first strike without fear of a second strike.

One bomb won’t make it to Moscow. Air defense will take down a single attacking missile or plane.

People hate their neighbors and have family feuds.

One won’t be enough. If they use it, Russia will at least hit the whole frontline with tactical nukes, maybe wipe out a city or two. That means Ukraine can’t use it, making it as valuable as a paperweight. For credible nuclear deterrence a country needs a few dozen nuclear weapons and more than one delivery method.

The limited military capabilities of Palestinians has restrained Israel’s actions.

How should Palestinians use that nuke?

Most of that money will likely go into expanding the defense industrial base and infrastructure. That includes not just buildings but training and hiring engineers and technicians.

Lots of essential things in NATO are run by USA. Airlift capability is a big example. Luckily Ukraine has some serious capability there and cooperation has been done for a long time already. Building an independent intelligence infrastructure, satellites, and so on is a major task as well. Command organization is built around the US and will need to be built as well. Training of Air Force pilots also happens in the US for most European militaries. That means building air bases, infrastructure, hiring and training additional staff, etc. Nuclear weapons and delivery systems are another big concern.

Europe has capabilities in all of this already, but it’s dwarfed by the US.

Europe will likely have to spend double the rumored 700 billion to achieve something credible.

Wouldn’t selective disabling of JavaScript make fingerprinting easier? Your block and white list are likely to be unique.

Disabling JavaScript entirely is another data point for fingerprinting. Only a tiny fraction of users do it.

Besides, without JavaScript most websites are not functional anymore. Those that are are likely not tracking you much in the first place.
