The fact that there is one very consistent line between the first event and the, hopefully to be averted, last event here is just... insane.

Love to hate because I obviously probably shouldn't take them to then sleep (and that *hadn't* been the plan. I used to have a regular dose of Bupropion before bed and that had a somewhat similar effect, but eventually caused mild tinnitus. :/

(My day night cycle is severely screwed because of working primarily with US and Australia, but also because of my continuing Spondylitis saga where I'm getting strong antibiotics which have me sleeping twelve+ hours on some days, but usually much less well than those couple of hours just now. ;_;

As a contrast, which you are almost certainly familiar with, also from a protestant, but one who was initially supportive of Hitler, but became disillusioned and was imprisoned in the mid-1930s already:

In some ways, of course, also very apt, but... yeah.

(I've just been informed that this website has some problematic content. As indicated, it was just the first even remotely useful translation of a longer excerpt I found.
I already wanted to look for a better/different translation, but now that seems more important.

Meh.
As said, I didn't really look at it/was just happy to find a longish excerpt. 😮💨

It is, it's painfully apt.
I'm not religious, but nevertheless frequently think about his (prison) poems, too.

Not a great translation, and only an excerpt of the wider work, but the most comprehensive one I could find with a quick search.

To clarify: I didn't write this, I just knew who the source of the thought @caspiancey.bsky.social had expressed was.
The great Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Protestant theologian murdered by the Nazi regime, wrote this.

My pleasure.
Bonhoeffer was an incredible person. 🙂

You (and they) were thinking of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's very short "On Stupidity."

Or what they imagine being just desserts, anyway; mostly cakes already eaten.

It's becoming something of an international buffet, where everyone is trying to have just dessert.

At that point, just effect a coup in some transit country and nurture a tinpot dictator to the point where they interdict on your behalf if you don't want to do it "officially."
Have some imperial dignity instead of continuing this charade of supposed western values and embrace old school ones.

And if you don't, then, technically, your Military doing it will be cheaper. Slightly less illegal, too. Well, theoretically capable of being slightly less illegal.

So unless you want them to just become new middle-men of the drug cartels, you have to find some other way to make this worthwhile/essentially pay above street value for the privilege of setting the drugs on fire. That may work once as a publicity stunt, but it gets old. Fast.

The biggest issue with this, ignoring, because of cause we do, that it's very much against international law, is that the primary income of privateers always derived from the sale and/or use of goods, arms, and vessels they captured.

Ah, yeah. Sorry. Just got home after 29h of flights and transfers without sleep and misread a crucial sentence there. 🙏

As in, I would deny that a "good faith" discussion is possible with someone who e.g. rejects fundamental humanity of other participants.
What's your good faith middle ground supposed to be? "How about you only kill some of them?"
comment in response to
post
I'm confused by this contention with regard to the definition of "good faith."
Why couldn't you have a good faith discussion with a MAGA person here?
...
And if answer is that their views are so, e.g., virulently racist that they break ToS & they can't stop, then that's very much a them problem.
