Just-restrained-enough fact-based rage is damn sexy

If by ignore, you mean stop paying taxes and working in any capacity for government in one go, yes would work. The only fear is being singled out, if more than 0.5% of the people do it, army wont even have the guts to get tanks out, they will join.

How could step one be anything besides the store taking a 2€ minus on their spreadsheet, instead of stopping flights. So many ways to hide a ceramic knife instead of a stupid pair of scissors uselessly incapable of doing anything on a plane.

All of these “security theatre” measures are just pure incompetence institutionalized due to 911, that managed to do nothing, just some security equipment manufacturers rich, and plane clients quite annoyed.

Hell, derailing a train would cause more human life / infrastructure damage, than a potential “guy has sharp object and cant do shit to the plane piloting” shit boomers are somehow still, in their old age, surprisingly afraid of.

Cars, trains, trucks all move freely, but somehow planes are terrified of extremely remote chance of bad actors trying to make a 911-esque political statement? (Because it’s about the fanfare not actual damage, mooost buildings are much less secure than people would think)

That, and they can potentially dismantle staging areas for planes and other infrastructure (in this case gas pipeline).

Well, if you get anywhere with that fake facade, then it will catch up to you.

Better start reading nicely written English books while doing this…

Sorry, but as Eastern European, we begged for NATO membership because of constant (>200 years) Russian occupation hazard. We only care about America as a strong ally (of many) in the NATO group, there is no imperialism, direct, indirect, effective or otherwise interprettable. It’s a purely defensive pact with all its tenets clearly and publicly laid out.

We could not fight back alone and we wouldnt be able to, because just as to Ukraine and as to Nazis, the amount of meat Russia (yes the whole country, not just Putin) is willing to throw into the meatgrinder is incomprehensible.

Ah, yes, the scary defense-only alliance. Purely by design it doesn’t have the lawful capacity to do any of the things you said, and single members (US or UK) don’t represent it.

Ah yes, no advancements in Ukraine where 1/3 of the country is under occupier control and in entrenched positions.

While the defence for science is nice (wasn’t attacked here), outrage is allowed on public discourse. I think most people are outraged for the lack of inaction of regulatory bodies at the sight of extreme price fixing when everyone and their mother had at least the gut feeling that it is all bullshit.

Lol. I just love it how so many people complain that Nuclear doesnt make financial sense, and then the most financially motivated companies just actually figure out that using a nuclear reactor completely privately is best.

Fuck sake, world.

They should not censor the company name.
