nyar,

The benefit is you can only open up 80/443, rather than a port per service/app.

nyar,

The account is 30 min old. This is spam.

What are some easy ways that you can improve energy efficiency and be more eco-friendly in your rental apartment?

For starters, you can add weather stripping to outside-facing doors and windows. If your landlord doesn’t want to pay for it, then it can be found cheaply on aliexpress. Also, add insulation outside-facing switch covers and outlet plates.

nyar,

Good luck!

nyar,

Go vegetarian or vegan. Compost if it’s available and accessible.

At what point is violence on a large scale justified?

I know this is a really vague question, but it’s been on my mind A LOT lately. I’m specifically asking about people fighting on behalf of a group that is subject to oppression of some kind. 3 years ago, with all of the protests in America that included violence majorly against property and minorly against people but were...

nyar,

You seem to think necessary !-> justified.

However, if something is necessary, it is justified.

While you may quibble, “it’s necessary to defend myself in life or death situations, but it isn’t justified”, this part “it’s necessary to defend myself in life or death situations” IS the justification of the action. It’s justified definitionally.

As such, your argument crumbles.

nyar,

Exactly. The numerous rapes and kidnappings are absolutely not called for, nor justified, ever. These are innocent civilians settlers, many of whom are reservists in the oppressors armed forces, being pulled into a larger ongoing and extremely one-sided conflict. That is the worst part of war - even innocent people suffer, instead of it being a private conflict between whatever groups I am forced to acknowledge the ongoing support the first world has provided to an apartheid state and I don’t like being confronted with the consequences of decades of oppression.

Fixed that for you.

nyar,

There is no nuance. If it is necessary, it is justified.

The only nuance that exists is for acts you can create justifications for that aren’t necessary.

The only argument to be had is whether an action is necessary or not. If not necessary, then justification is required. Otherwise, they’re functionally synonymous.

nyar,

Not detached. No rights have ever been won under capitalism through a peace movement alone.

No, not the US Civil Rights Movement.

No, not the fall off apartheid in S.A.

No, not even the independence movement in India.

All has peace movements. All also had organizations that engaged in actions of violence against their oppressors. To ignore that is ahistorical.
