  • Dude you bring up a curiosity in a different situation, time and war, economy and scale. Ukraine doesn’t have countless factories pumping out fighter jets to be able to dedicate those to making spare parts for an obsolete airframe. No amount of morale is worth it when you cannot supply the soldiers with what they need. Imagine ice cream barges going through the pacific when most of the US carriers would be on the bottom of the ocean with no more comming. It would be a laughable waste of resources.



  • When you pose extraordinary theories, they need extraordinary evidence to back up. You literally are here to do those searches, otherwise you can be dismissed as a lunatic. And that’s exactly what you are if you cannot distinguish between starving an entire city and destroying bridges and weapons of an occupying hostile power.

    You attribute people calling out Israel for crimes against humanity as “haters”, you deny that a genocide is happening. You don’t know anything about the conflict, its history and why an order by the Israeli military saying “leave your homes you have 10 days” is not “a humanitarian outreach to get civilians out” and is instead a landgrab of huge proportions.








  • It would do a lot of good to everyone. This is the exact same problem that was on reddit during the “boycotts” - moderators afraid of losing power over people, rolling over when a corporation came knocking. Right here it’s instance admins instead. You volunteer your time to do moderation and let them dictate you implement an unpopular change - introducing a biased bot. People don’t like the bot - it constantly is being downvoted, commented about.

    The world would be an entirely different place if people had the spine to do what’s right, not only what’s convenient. Reddit would be burnt to a crisp with no moderators if that were the case. So much for an independent platform where people’s voice matters.






  • During WW2, people in Poland mass produced guns out of their bedframes. If you want to make a gun, you need the exact same things as you needed then. 3d printing makes the easy to manufacture parts, you still need the steel ones that aren’t printable. And if you have those, whether you print it or yank a pipe from your bed, it’ll be just as lethal. Not mentioning slamfire shotguns which are a pipe with a nail inside. You can’t control that shit, people will always get one if they want to.
