It has become so weird that the US Right supports Israel’s war on Palestine while the US Left supports Ukraine’s defense against Russia.

Political sides dig in. The wars become associated with culture.

There is so little voice today from those who oppose aggression. Those who support Jews but are not onboard with Israel’s actions against Palestinians. Those who support Ukrainian independence but don’t want to commit unlimited troops for border regions that literally speak Russian amid a complicated history.

More people die in Sudan and Cambodia than Israel/Palestine, but we are all focused on Israel/Palestine because it’s a conflict of cultures. Religious cultures but also western imperialism vs the global south. The focus of it all. That occupies our attention even as bigger massacres occur elsewhere that aren’t directly across these massive fault lines.

I refuse to engage in attention whoring. I support peace in most instances globally, other than total war against someone’s existence where it becomes right to fight back. People have a right to self-defense. And those who have power over others have a responsibility to hold back on using it fully.

Keep in mind that at any moment, tons of violence is occurring globally. The media directs you to a subset of it that is geographically, economically, or culturally relevant for their purposes. You ignore or are unaware of the rest, and get emotional about what is fed to you. That’s how most people act, anyway.

Sudan and Cambodia don't get the attention that the Israel/Palestine conflict does because neither have lobbies as powerful as the Israeli lobby.

People are going to identify how they please, but that doesn't obligate me to respect their delusions.

Practice humility. It goes a long way to not making a fool of yourself.

There are metrics in which the traits of a Myers Brigg personality test are measured and I measured on the high end for INTP. Of course that was over twenty-five years ago. I may have mellowed since then.

#asknostr I'm trying to setup my Lightning node on an Umbrel server. I'm trying to determine what would be a good channel size and how many sats will be required for that size? Is it a one to one relationship between sats and channel size?

Those are better odds than any plastic surgeon.
