The 80s were 40 years ago. The security landscape is so different now, even if it was a perfectly valid book on how to actually hide anything then, it is not accurate at all to the current environment and internet. There may be some physical security things that apply, but even with those there are likely things that now need to be taken into account that did not exist then.

Wasn't it just a ceasefire? Unless a true agreement has been reached that I didn't see
I won't consider it a true peace until an actual deal has been signed with terms and enforcing parties
True, was just explaining the particular thing I believe BE to be referencing
Nice, here's hoping it actually last a while this time
I did a quick explanation of my findings, which did include reading some of that article, though I found it independently.
NGL that article in particular is a bit of a sprawling mess and not easy to comprehend quickly.
After arguing with some.people about things and finally going and reading a bunch of shit, I'm pretty sure it's in reference to the people that were at a rave like ~4 miles from Gaza and a military base that was a target for the oct 7 attack, and because of the proximity there was lots of confusion about who was military or civilian. Also one thing I read said the rave location was announced like 1 day before, so Hamas also did not know it was happening. Anyways a bunch of people died and were taken hostage from it
So basically BE is alluding to "Coachella” (the rave) next to "Auschwitz"(Gaza) and blaming the capture/death on the people who went there
Out of curiosity what's wrong with feddit? (I do not keep track of inter-instance politics/reputation besides hexbear and grad being the tankie hellhole, this is a genuine question from lack of knowledge)
Honestly would have a bit more respect for the green party if they ran someone besides Jill Stein for the 5th time or whatever.
They've got decent parts of their platform and we definitely need a worker-centric 3rd party, but I think someone younger, more charismatic, and more populist would be a lot more effective, particularly in the current political climate.
But free gorl juice for everyone :D
Okay, so he got a number a bit wrong. Does that make him criticizing Oct 7 invalid? If he had the correct number, would you be perfectly fine with the statement?
It's fine to correct numbers, but it feels like you (and others) are using this as an excuse to target something deeper than him getting a number wrong.
Okay but do you seriously think, in this political climate where everyone is cucked by Israel, that he could have gotten anywhere near the attention and support to win his election by not saying Oct 7 was bad? He was the most progressive/socialist candidate on the field, and honestly it's stupid that he has to repeatedly talk about Israel in the first place, when he had zero power to change anything about our relations with Israel/the genocide.
And even then, the most I've ever seen him 'denounce imperialism' is to say Oct 7 was bad, which if you think that crosses the line you are out of touch with our political reality. Hell, I think in one of the debates he refused to even do the whole 'i condemn hamas' bit, and was pretty much fully critical of Israel

I'm really excited to see this guy grow in the online political video essay space, his aesthetics of fascism series was fantastic. Definitely going to watch this in the morning.
