12 what?

(No, its not mentioned whether the 12 are civilians or not, but it said it included members of a family, so I assume that means at least a few civilians have been killed)

This is so weird. It’s asking the Arab countries, who are supposed allies and also victims of the conflict, that THEY need to agree to signing the Abraham Accords. The Arab countries have to concede this thing for the war to end, but it is not Iran that is demanding it, but the US. So, this places both the Arab countries and Iran on one end of the table, versus the US and Israel on the other end. US, once again, showing that its only ally there (and probably in the whole world right now) is Israel, and Arab countries can get destroyed for all they care just to get something that Israel wants.

Not that I have much respect for the Arab monarchies to begin with (they are spineless moralless weasel, but the Arab countries face an interesting choice: A. Agree to sign the Abraham Accords. It is hard for them to really spin this off in a positive way. They may claim that “It looks clear that we need to join Israel to help against the aggressors, Iran.” But: support for Palestine and hatred for Israel is very high in the Gulf populations, double especially after the atrocities in Gaza and now also in Lebanon. There is quite a bit of hatred/fear of Iran especially in the Sunni populations, but that is no where near the hatred for Israel. Add to it that it is clear in this instance that Iran was in no way the aggressor. All this, means that if Gulf countries accept this demand, it will most definitely fuel unrest orders of magnitude more. It will probably have factions that are usually against each other unite to fight the “obvious” enemy that is Israel and now the Gulf countries too.

B. They decline. Now, Trump is probably bullshitting and the news will just forget that was ever an ask. If he tries to force them though, it might make the Gulf and Iran improve their relations or negotiate their own end to the war, without the US involvement, which weakens the US already weakening influence on the Gulf countries.

The title is a bit ambiguous. Also, the “May” is weasely on my part. But I think you raise a fair point. It is unclear how insurrection really fits into this Disaster Anarchism.

I understood the attached article to mean that we have to focus on continuously building up our disaster response, and that will help us to continue functioning if we are cut off, partially or fully, from the dominant system. Insurrection would likely cut us off significantly from the dominant system.

What is not clear to me is that Disaster Anarchism tells us to try to avoid focusing on insurrection as a means of change, but it does not tell us what is a good time for an insurrection. And I think that is where your point comes in.

Personally, I think it makes more sense to think of Disaster Anarchism as occurring in parallel to, not instead of, insurrection.

I hope it becomes a celebrated yearly event.

Yeah it is misleading. Maybe it’s more something like “The Case Against Relying on Insurrection”?

Very interesting. One other argument for Disaster Anarchism is that disaster preparedness can be done all of the time: regardless of how good or bad things are going right now*, we can keep building these disaster response systems.

• By going good, I dont mean perfect. I think that insurrection tends to only happen when things are going really bad.

That’s not what it argued. It explicitly states that revolution and conflict may need to happen as a function of disaster response.

Such a waste. Bronze looks so much better than that gold, especially when it rusts.

Who is she?

Yeah, thats probably the reasoning.

On different days, apparently. I dont get it either.

The guy said, “Right now, the war is costing us $25 billion” or something close to that. Is it just me, or is that weird phrasing? Wouldnt you say “The war cost us … so far” rather than use the present tense “costing us”?

“The statement says that “shall preserve its right to take all necessary measures in self-defense, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks.” Israel frequently claims its attacks on Lebanon, Gaza, and elsewhere in the region are a response to some sort of threat, even when it’s clear there was none, and the US has historically tolerated major Israeli ceasefire violations.”

What do you mean?

What a hero

He apparently caused around $200 million in damages.

Russian, сука блять (cyka blyat) (fucking shit, bitch whore). блять just sounds to me like someone mini vomiting or coughing while theyre cursing.

cyka - bitch blyat - fuck

That sexy lungs-shaped butt

My guess is birthday?

No, its not too powerful. Its too chaotic. You cant control it.

EDIT: It seems I have misunderstood. I thought containment here referred to the harness, but they meant VM type of containment. I am still quite skeptical, but it looks like this model is quite good at finding and utilizing security flaws in software.

God I cannot stand Carlson. He always has this “Im asking tough questions” vibe, pausing every 3 words. But his statements are always simultaneously the most ridiculous uninsightful shit ever.

“Theres a rumor that Trump didnt put his hand on the bible. Is it because that… (pause for 5 secs)… perhaps… (pause for 5 seconds)… sees himself as God?” (Pauses for 10 secs now as if he said something even remotely profound)
