Yeah that’s a fair point wrt non-militant roles, my assumption was that they were primarily used in the military since their purpose was to avoid the issues with mobile networks being used to track them.
But we don’t know exactly how the devices were distributed, so you’re right that there were potentially a large number of non-military Hezbollah staff.
I mean, yeah. The tragic answer is that civilian casualties are inevitable in war, unfortunately.
According to a UN meeting from 2022, 90% of war casualties globally are civilians. That’s not to say that’s an acceptable ratio, in fact it’s horrifying, but it does show that a ratio of “a handful” to “a bunch” is quite a lot better than the average.
And, frankly, this is one of the least morally concerning things Israel has (presumably) done. The pagers were targeted specifically because they were used almost exclusively by Hezbollah.
I think in general it’s supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with “point-oh” in the name
We do for the ayatollahs though, because they are the ones who actually make the decisions, same goes for Russian presidents and CCP general secretaries
I have a bit more sympathy for the president, since his decisions can all be vetoed by the ayatollah, and he broadly seems to be trying to move Iran in the right direction
I’m on it lads, booking my flight to Tehran now
Just “because nationalism”
Doesn’t mean it’s not profitable, though!
Ah yes, those well known non-radical fascists
You 🤝 Trump
Things I don’t like are fascism
Yeah it’s been like 3 years of this plus “but I like when the port is a circle, not an oval!” 😴
But all of those arguments are still valid, even if you make the assumption that it was all an evil scheme to make you buy some headphones
Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil
You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao
If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then
Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated
Why are you unwilling to enlighten us?
This list isn’t by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China
This is literally about a judge fining the diplomat half a million, though?? Like isn’t this literally the exact opposite of that
And you can keep hand waving away the fact that lower precision because of less light is not the primary cause of racial bias in facial recognition systems - it’s the fact that the datasets used for training are racially biased.
