I do not really believe that there is such a thing as a "fate worse than death"

What about unimaginable suffering before one's certain death? Would this not qualify as a worse fate than death?

I don't really have a strong opinion on this topic, but one example comes to mind that shows that many people don't act according to your maxime. Have you ever seen those battlefield suicides that are filmed by the drones in Ukraine? I'm not going to link them here, but they are plentyful. So, so many soldiers, many of them wounded, decide to take their own life to avoid going through an experience that they probably view as worse than death. I just think it's interesting and worth considering.

This is facilitating that situation.

Facilitate what situation of exactly?

The sex is going to happen around that age, but as a parent it is still not your job to make it easy, yeah?

Why?

consequences of mistakes are still VERY HIGH

Not as high as letting your kid drive a car, for example, but you're still gonna let them, I suppose. Weird double standards.

Hey man, I was born in Russia. Take your time and check out what they are showing on TV over there. The evening program. Anything really. They have been preparing their population for war with Europe for years. Discussing how to drop bombs on London, which way to invade first, how awful the west is treating Russian citizens In Europe, etc etc. Especially shit involving Simonyan or Solovyov. It's absolutely insane. Scary, even, that they can publicly say the things they say.

Look, I am not happy that people are profiting from building weapons, but in the current reality, it's the only way to avoid us getting steamrolled by a Russia on full war economy.

You are legally obligated to do everything for shareholder

Also, you don't understand feduciary duty.

Nobody wants to go to war with Putin. It's a sad reality that Russia won't stop with Ukraine.

Airbus employees, I suppose. They have a site in Filton.

Nah you're seeing this a little pessimistic. It's clear to anyone that there will be political in fighting in such a case, but claiming and retaining power is not easy, especially under the conditions that Russia is in right now. Different interests will need to compete for political power, and the resulting government will surely not align with the West's vision of democratic rule. However, these are the moments of opportunity for the people. Nobody in the country comes even close to Putins cult status. Anything can happen.

Wouldn't it be funny if make that 180° towards democracy like the US did towards fascism? :)

You should still post links to the images. Not enough people get exposed to the hard truth that is going on in Gaza. I'm one of those.

Markets should be free, trade should be open, industries should be monopolized and the masses should be exploited.

Oh wow, didn't know that. Where's this text from?

Hilariously that's what every toothless Russian drunkard says when you ask them about the war.

So if you're Russian, sure, go for it!

What a very intelligent take.
