Youtube has demonetized or taken down videos for much less, citing fears of driving out advertising. Now the advertisers are promoting genocidal messages to family friendly channels and their audience.

Why is the article not mentioning the reason being the role the organization has played in supporting palestinian genocide?

Trump is doing this because he feels threatened by brics+, but he decided to use the upcoming arrest of far right politicians as a justification. That has however put a lot of strain on the right as they are seen as responsible for harming brazilian economy in an attempt to save themselves from accountability, uniting the left in the process.

It’s of no use. Holywood did an amazing job at villainizing russian aesthetics, so it comes off as natural to feel the prejudice.

Countries that value financial sovereignty would still be interested.

That looks like the 14-bis from Santos Dumont in the picture. He did not live enough to see WW2, but he ended up helping design planes for WW1 and got terribly depressed about it, commiting suicide later.

If it was someone else saying this, there would be no downvotes. The messenger matters more than the message for an awful lot of people.

They just got access to trade with a continent sized country, with all sorts of resources they were previously denied. Sounds like a beneficial arrangement for the north koreans, in their situation.

It keeps coming back no matter how many times I turn it off.

People talking about the effects of closing the straight being bad for multiple countries. Can Iran enforce a sort of selective closing, like the houthis did? Allowing ships as long as they dont trade with the usa? Or maybe only allow countries that dont host usa military bases?

So much freaking parking space, what a waste.

Yemen also promised to attack every US ship in this occasion.

next one after this is taiwan and the philippines

usa: summons cthulhu to bring destruction of the universe
people: what if it was a republican, things would be worse

looks like an orange

I need Razira in my life…

I think those two aproachs do not contradict. Yours is just very pragmatic and i respect it. But I think you didn’t understand the aspect of rationality as distinct from capability. This would be the inability to solve world hunger despite having the means to, that is just inconsistency in making good decisions. I think your analogy with the dark room even works here. You have all the tools to make the room bright and you certainly want to be able to see, but your decisions do not consistently bring about the desired result, which is an illuminated room. Edit: Well. I tried my best to explain. But looks like you are not interested in a discussion here. I grow tired of personal attacks.

I am well aware of what you are talking about. I am just trying to create a general understanding without resorting to ideology. I already assumed we had enough technological capability, and then i assumed further (even though i’m not entirely convinced) that humanity as a whole shares the interest to solve this problem. What else remains? The inability to translate those capabilities into achieving the desired goals. How else would you be able to make sense of the results without resorting to specifics of human history? I’m not saying history is not important. But if you manage to work this general model, whatever answer you get albeit general would apply to every context. We could work the specifics after that too, and they should make sense.

If you envision human action as a composition of capability, interest and rationality, the latter being how consistently you use capability to accomplish goals aligned with your interests, maybe it could be a fault in the rationality itself. Would you agree with that? The idea that we have the means to solve a problem and assuming the intention to do so as well, but that humans collectively do not know how to apply knowledge correctly to achieve our interests in such political problems.

Science will give us new means to solve problems, but not the desire to solve them, which is what we are ultimately lacking.
