"Environmentalists have raised many concerns about Starlink including light-pollution of the night sky, a potentially hazardous traffic jam in low-Earth orbit, and even ozone depletion. Copycat megaconstellations by other companies and countries will only multiply these concerns.

Now there's a new reason to worry. According to a new study by Sierra Solter, megaconstellations could alter and weaken Earth's magnetic field."

And let's not forget those fucking Starlink satellites. Our pollution has expanded into space now.

@HeavenlyPossum @violetmadder @bontchev @aral

PFAS are accumulating in the environment, they're not going anywhere.

Minerals continue to be dug up to meet greater and greater demands of technology (including "green" transition), a process that destroys the environment and spreads pollution. These mineral deposits are getting harder and harder to find and larger and larger amounts of earth have to be dug up to produce ores, so each unit of ore results in larger and larger amounts of waste on top of the increasing number of units needed to meet demand.

It's a huge toxic spiral spreading pollution and destruction everywhere.

>>...not theft, coercion, violence, kidnapping and murder, like (I presume!) you are advocating in form of Socialism/Communism.<<

Why would you presume this? If you had just taken a quick look at the profile of the person you're replying to you would see information that contradicts this presumption. It may or may not make sense to you but it should be a clue to lead you to questions, maybe about some of your own assumptions and adopted narratives.

I mean right there in their pinned toot it explains that they believe in "rejection of both state authority and class distinctions" and "a stateless, classless society where the means of production are collectively owned and managed by the community through direct democracy, voluntary association, and decentralized decision-making."

Maybe don't be so quick to presume, at least if you're actually engaging in good faith.

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

Weird that you make this about me, especially after skipping over 10,000 killed children, and videos of cold-blooded murders of civilians with white flags, on your way to do it.

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

There is no point to this unless you're trying to say that the state of Israel could not have done even a single thing differently, it was what we're seeing now or nothing, and obviously that's nonsense.

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

The Al Aqsa Flood itself was immoral.

There you go, happy?

It was also a direct consequence of actions by the state of Israel.

This does not mean I condone it, excuse it or support it at all, but I recognize it as a link in a chain of events that should not have been unexpected.

But two wrongs don't make a right. The ends do not justify the means (and I don't even agree with the supposed ends anyway).

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

I already told you my moral standards don't recognize rule of law so I can't answer in regards to "legally".

Morally I reject states so there is nothing a state could do militarily that I would consider moral.

Obviously this is an unrealistic expectation for an existing state, especially a ethno-nationalist one. But the horrifically high number of civilian casualties and physical destruction in this situation make it obvious that there was a huge spectrum of possibilities. One less bomb could have been dropped. Or no bombs at all.

There are virtually infinite possibilities that could have resulted in fewer casualties and less destruction.

But the state of Israel has deliberately chosen to punish Palestinians collectively. If they are minimizing civilian casualties then I can't even imagine what an "unrestrained" state of Israel would look like!

I can only conclude that as long as they don't use nuclear weapons we're supposed to respect their civility and western liberal values 🤷♂️

@thetechtutor @nicholas_saunders @aral

>>I’m legit curious how often you post these same questions and concerns about #hamas #china #russia #iran and other radical & militarized nations?<<

What questions? You and nicholas have been asking all the questions. This thread was in response to a post about Israel, that's why we're discussing concerns about Israel here.

Your desperation is showing and your trolling flow chart has led you into a dead end.

All to defend the murder of children and innocent civilians. You know in the end you can't do that so you have to discredit me somehow and deflect.

My timeline is not hidden, you can easily see for yourself. Start with my pinned toots, maybe you'll learn something.

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

That's not my philosophy nor is it what I said at all, in fact I explicitly said otherwise, did you read and understand my entire post? Your characterization seems in very bad faith.

The fact that the Hamas action was in response to pre-existing circumstances in no way absolves them from moral responsibility any more than the state of Isreal is absolved of moral responsibility for atrocities it commits in reaction to Hamas' actions.

@nicholas_saunders @thetechtutor @aral

FFS, of course Hamas had agency. Just like the state of Israel has agency.

>>You've simply chosen to not answer my basic question...<<

I answered it multiple times. I even boosted your question 🤷♂️

>>...you throw insults my way...<<

I did? I mean I know I can be insulting sometimes, and I do swear a lot, but When did I insult you?
