I read this book 'Human kind: a hopeful history' and in it the author concludes that societies themselves are actually very very difficult to disrupt. The Blitz and Berlin during WWII, The siege of Sarajevo. It was expected that bombs would cause cities to fall into chaos and stop functioning. Turns out that's almost never worked. Of course you can firebomb cities to the ground (Dresden, Hiroshima) but even then, the cities return to normal functioning places rather quickly.
History has show that people will endure a lot before they choose to abandon social order.

Yeah when the soviets were almost at Berlin, women in the city would be waiting outside in a lineup waiting for their food rations. Soviet artillery would be causing explosions all around them, but none of them would run for cover as they would then lose their place in the ration lineup.
Mind you, im not saying that the Soviet invasion into Germany didnt cause panic because it really did. But by this point people on the homefront were absolutely starving in Germany.
Note: im generalizing here a bit. Rereading what I said, I definitely was a bit too declarative with the “nobody”’s

It’s really sad that so many German women were raped by the approaching Soviet soldiers. These women went from waiting in line for bread, to being raped by the communists.

It describes what Russia was doing at the time in Germany. What are you meant to call it? Russia crossed the German border and pushed to Berlin. That's an invasion, and in this case well justified.
Wowimatard t1_iu8tmja wrote
>That's an invasion, and in this case well justified.
I have to agree.
Whilst I dont condone the mass murder and mass rape. The Germans did come into Russia to exterminate a (in their eyes), subhuman species. That is of course, after the subhuman species have toiled the land well enough for the Germans to be able to function without them.
Horrible all around. But I understand. I have never had a family member exterminated before. I cant Imagine the rage I would feel.

There's a difference in the term invasion and generally being an asshole of a human that uses women as toys in such an invasion. The invasion itself was well justified, but the war crimes (on all sides) weren't.

This is partially because Dresden wasn't hit as bad a people thought. Goebbels wanted to use the city as propaganda to the neutral countries and to vilify the bombing of German cities. In reality, AT MOST 25k people died with the city largely going back to normal within months. For context, 45k are reported dead from the Blitz in London alone.
SydneyRFC t1_iu8k7t7 wrote
But it's relative. The blitz was an ongoing campaign which Google (the most reliable of all sources) says lasted 8 months on a population of several million.
The Dresdon bombing was, using your 25k figure, 4% of the 600,000 population in 3 days, destroying 50% of the residential areas. To return to a functioning level of society after that is impressive.

chrisga12 t1_iu7ount wrote
I work in telecommunications sales and one day our store got struck by lightning overnight, completely fried the master breaker and we had no power, no AC, no backup generator. just dim emergency lights that run off auxiliary power. They absolutely refused to let us close. Power company came by and pretty much said “yep, enjoy the day off guys.. you won’t be getting power anytime soon”. They still refused to close, we couldn’t help any customers or even clock in/out… at that point it was costing the company more money in labor to keep all of us there than it would have to just close the store for the day. Still doesn’t make any sense to me.

Truthfully I had no real problem turning away customers all day, there was nothing we could do. Their logic behind it was just frustrating. If the store has to close under circumstances like that then we all would still have to be paid for our shift, so they figured “if we have to pay you either way, you’re going to be doing what we want you to do”.
Slithy-Toves t1_iu82mj3 wrote
So the end of the story is you all left anyway right? How could you possibly get fired for just leaving after a power outage in a building struck by lightning.
chrisga12 t1_iu8t53g wrote
Unfortunately, no. The end of the story is 1 hour before closing time an electrician was finally able to move around some of the power supply and get us to half power, just enough to get our POS system and wi-fi running, but nothing else. We’re union and our attendance is on a point system so no one wanted to take any points by leaving and we can’t all walk out at once or it could be considered a strike that wasn’t authorized by the union and we’d all be laid off.

Okay, this may get me some hate, but scenes like this hit me more emotionally that seeing the scenes of bombings in the middle east that conquered the airwaves during the 2000s. Like everytime they showed any middle eastern place hit by some kind, any kind of bomb it felt so....foreign and unreal. It looked like they barely had anything there to begin with or were living in some backwards place with already crumbling buildings and living in some weird medieval society. I recognize that this is a bias from how the western media portrayed it and what they chose to show and how they talked about it. Like "oh well this is just a fact of life for that region, it's always been and goong to be like that"
But when I see a place like this in Ukraine? I have literally been in a cafe that looked almost exactly like this. So this felt more real to me. Like I could imagine what her life was normally like before stuff like this happening rather than the more alien sort of feeling i got from other bombing reports and not even being able to conceptualize what daily life was like there.
Does that make me a bad person?

At the beginning of the Iraq war they televised air strikes in black and green night vision. It was called Operation Shock and Awe. They seriously tried to turn that war into an action movie for people to watch on tv and get hyped. They also got Godsmack for Navy commercials.

To help sway population opinion. Look at 2nd Iraq war, polling after the invasion still had swathes of the population believing Saddam was linked to 9/11. Government plus the media did that to help back the war.
Remember the incubator story from the first Gulf war. A key inflection point to move the American public and Congress toward supporting war in Iraq was the gruesome 1990 testimony of a Kuwaiti girl named Nayirah, who described how Iraqi troops killed 312 babies.

It’s not just that. The footage you got in the 2000s was from the major media corporations filtered through major news outlets.

We no longer see just the high-value 5 second shot of an explosion from the street chosen for it’s excitement value to keep viewers watching that channel. We now see intimate security footage inside a normal looking cafe that is relatable and goes viral for that reason.
Oh and there’s a ton more high-def cameras so the amount of footage is radically higher.
And surely dress and race and architecture all play a part in that distance but don’t downplay how different this footage is despite being of a “bombing”

I actually think it's a fairly old video, I want to say that it was this spring, based on the clothing. I might be wrong though, this sht feels like a long ass week to me at this point. It's even more business-as-usual-like now, many actually returned from aboard, and many more intend to do so, according to a few polls. In fact, a lot of people even in the cities that are right near the frontline like Kharkov refused to leave, even though before the counter-offensive the city was bombed 30 out of 31 days of the month. And some took about a month of living under occupation to finally decide to leave.
Now that the energy infrastructure and centralized heating infrastructure are under attack, "business as usual" also includes different kinds of business continuity plans. People buy generators and batteries, make fuel supplies for the winter, insulate their houses, look for ways to maintain the internet and other connections during blackouts.
The point is, a lot of people choose to stay where their home is even when it's scary. And when the desire to stay home outweighs the fear, people have no other options but to adjust to their new reality.
And it's probably what amazes me the most about these people, how fear doesn't just force them to escape the danger, but motivates them to persevere and mitigate the risks, so that they and everyone around them can feel safe, even if they can't really be 100% safe. And it's not something you can easily learn, I know I didn't.

They're getting bombed, is their instinct to flee and cower? Fuck no. That customer leans closer to the falling ball of death to see just what Era of archaic weaponry putting is chucking.
When the bomb goes off, does the barrista duck and cover, afraid? Fuck no, out into the street they go with hustle. To render aid, to check the damage, to enlist in the Ukrainian Army because she spent all morning getting those cups stacked perfectly and that Moscow mother fucker ruined it for the last time.
That's resilience, that's strength, that's morbid curiosity, that is a purpose that will crush mountains.
"March 17th, 2023- Ukrainian barrista completes invasion of Russia, putin delivered to the Hague for warcrime trial."

Interesting that we lock down for covid, but not for a literal war. Somehow this seems more dangerous. That is all.

At what point does a rocket become a missile? Because people keep saying “missile” when clearly these are not making huge explosions like a missile should be making
Wolf_with_laces t1_iu8d6z5 wrote
isn't it dependant on the fuel and the way it's delivered? like you shoot a rocket to space and you have a rocket launcher. What's the distinction?

Ukrainians and Palestinians can bond over the horrors of missiles in their normal lives.

Well this just further proves that all Russians are crazy. I can’t imagine going to work and just casually doing your job while bombs are going off around you. That’s some next level dedication.

this is terrible for them, because even though Russia doesn't fully conquer Ukraine, Putin manages to keep the war going on in someone else's country for years, as they have done many times in the past, so after a while the country ends up becoming a barren land and hostile, where most of the good citizens preferred to try for life elsewhere, leaving only militias that will fight for power in an eternal civil war.

Ever thought about that Russia could fail and crumble?
Victorcwb t1_iu6hhzi wrote
do you really believe this? while some countries are imposing sanctions, others in asia and the middle east are sponsored the war.

Russia won’t fall because of sanctions. But it already did once also because of a war.

We need to give Ukraine the tools to make this common in Moscow. Then the subhuman Russians will turn into whining bitches for peace. There’s no other way for those animals to get the point. Yeah they deserve this tone and language.

Yeah, no. Maybe don’t call people sum human for what their government is doing. Propaganda is a hell of a thing

Agreed. Regardless of ethnicity or location there are always good and bad people. Generalizing/grouping people on one trait only is devolved thinking.

Not op, but it's Russian lives that should be lost fighting the Russian government, not Ukrainian lives. Every free living Russian is responsible for every Ukrainian death because they were too much of a coward to put their own lives on the line. They make a choice to put themselves (the ones responsible for their government) above innocent people.
Russians are complicit. Propaganda or not, they crafted this situation every day of their lives and they are responsible for the results. Fuck your "hate the government not the people" bullshit. The people are the government and if they truly wanted this to stop, it would have stopped or they'd be dead.

So you supported the American actions that killed millions in the middle east, South America, and continue to harm people today? The millions in weapons support to cause more deaths (And push American foreign policy!) but the sheer lack of humanitarian aid?
I mean, why didn't you just attack the US Government? Oh, because you care about your life, friends and family? Or is it just propaganda?
Stupid fucking argument. The Governments of Russia and Ukraine are responsible for this shit, not the people.

I thank the USA for getting rid of monsters like Saddam, Osama and Gadhafi. Most people in the middle east died because of terrorists and not because of NATO forces.
You compare the USA to Putin? You blame the government of Ukraine for this? Disgusting...
SurturOfMuspelheim t1_iu7so7d wrote
LMAO are you serious right now?
Saddam was bad but what the US did there caused untold destruction, death, and misery.
Gaddafi was LIKED by his people and you can speak to any Libyan and they will say they missed him. He was a unifying force in Africa and wasn't pro-US Imperialism and that's why he was murdered.
The US is leagues worse than Putin. If you don't think there isn't blame on both Russia and Ukraine then maybe fucking pay attention to something other than Reddit.
Fucking disgusting. You enable this sick disgusting shit our government does.

I am the OP and indeed basically my point... as much as it pains me I believe the right wing fascists (USA or elsewhere) will continue to grow in power simply because so many get their underwear in a bunch over "finding and correcting the right vocabulary in order to have a dialog about a inclusive conservation to discuss equity across stakeholders" or some other navel gazing bullsh*t to avoid having to fight the fight. In the meantime those fascists douchebags are taking away rights, territory and country... yeah buddy, we're in a war and propaganda is a serious part of it... and yeah if Russians don't want to make the sacrifice to get rid of Putin, F them... same thing in the US... if the country (this includes independents and liberals) doesn't want to step up to stop this white nationalist fascism (which just means getting up early, standing in line for day and jumping through whatever hoops are being used to stop the vote)... then F them as well.
I find I odd that a few folks downvoted you... guess they miss Saddam, Osama and Gadhafi... and seeing by up votes can tell either the trolls are here or some serious dumbfuqs.

It’s incredible that it’s business as usual for people as the country is being bombed. The resilience is amazing. Mind you, I was born in Sarajevo during 1993 but was lucky not to remember anything.
