I’ve been in the room while people from an org design their security strategies, and drilling to “Turn and Burn” through a near ambush, or anything resembling that is never discussed. if anything, the strategy is to not have coordinated guidance to absolve the org of liability if a member is in a self-defense shooting. members in security roles exercise their own discretion when they carry concealed weapons, and generally don’t communicate if they are carrying or not.

how much does the left current capitalize on gathering resources for the militant overthrow of the government? if people were talking like this is another context it would be disregarded as larp, but with soldiers, it’s suddenly considered serious to imagine what benefits they could bring to a guerilla warfare campaign. mfw the Special Forces commando that the Mutual aid collective was able to recruit suggests allocating $9 billion to pay local partner’s salaries, spend $500 million on catering for the contractors, and then fire a $2 million dollar missile at a truck seen transporting water near known police affiliated bases.

British man wearing a 1st Cav pin and a unfunny parody slogan hat, this feels like a portrait with enough energy to come to life like in Killing Commendatore.

The author is super sus, their youtube videos like to include drive-by anti-china quips, like bringing up China is genociding Muslims, or covered up the pandemic to save face, in sections completely unrelated to those topics. I also felt a weird attitude to Asian men in Iron Widow, so I checked around and saw Asian guys were saying the same thing, and that their work more broadly disregards them.

If you want queer English Chinese fantasy, the Radiant Emperor Duology is very good.

Alex Apollonov!

hold on, the empire only wanted to build a cracker slaughter ray?

arresting people have valid warrants. Netanyahu is presumed to have diplomatic immunity, so his arrest warrant isn’t valid in at least 193 countries. Any country he travels to is implied to be offering him safe conduct by their ratifying the VCDR, unless the explicitly say he’s not welcome.

Realistically, Canada will tell Netanyahu he’s not welcome. the Vienna convention allows you to declare specific diplomats as personas non-grata, including before their arrival, and then they must leave in a reasonable amount of time or loose their immunity. I still think at that point, they would only be allowed to hold Netanyahu for deportation, they couldn’t arrest him for genocide.

Diplomatic immunity is a good precedent. no matter how bad genocide is, kidnapping a foreign head of state will always be an act of war.

even with no precedent, it’s clear the Vienna convention entitles heads of state to diplomatic immunity when they travel abroad. there is no legal mechanism that resolves the contradiction between the Vienna convention and the ICC.

Ukraine legally recognized the ICC only in it’s capacity to prosecute russians. their law literally says they wont recognize it on ukrainians, which the ICC protested, and probably Israelis too.

ummmm, he’s literally the protagonist of the film which means he’s the good guy. Like, hol’up isn’t the point of every movie that the protagonist is a cool person, and the audience should act exactly like them to be cool too?

this was a plot in Ghost in the Shell.

what sort of PDFs do you need to read? are they comic books, illustrated magazines, scientific articles? do you need to take hand written notes or do markups?
