"The act of killing" plays that role for me. The most amazing movie I have ever watched, but I've just been able to watch it a handful of times. Haven't gathered the courage to watch the follow up, "The look of silence" yet.

Very pleased to see must mentioned. That shit is awesome.
I wouldn't say they learned nothing from that war game. They've never done to Iran what they did to the other six of the infamous seven that the Bushies planned to dismantle. I suspect that that war game is a factor in that decision. This thing with the Houthis serves to refresh their memories I guess. At least I hope. Who knows, with this admin, anything can happen
Yeah, it's famously illegal to insult the Sultan of Iran
They had the same situation in Iran 1979 for example, and the military refused direct orders from the king to fire on the crowds. However, Iran had a conscript military and not the 'professional' thuggery of the modern US volunteer military.
Commenting "fuck ACAB nonsense" on a post that clearly demonstrates ACAB is kinda wild. Did you not read how the local PD enabled the ICE thugs by arresting people for "laying hands on federal agents"? Those Cs aren't Bs?
Where are all those brave Americans chastising the cowardly Russians for not standing up to Putin's bullshit? What happened? I thought you were all armed to the teeth, and brave as fuck? But now somehow everyone suddenly has become so damn sensible in assessing the threats to themselves personally. I wonder what changed. No longer gong ho about revolution when it comes with personal costs, are we? Who would've thought...
I'd say geographical size has very little to do with it, unless you think Canada is more diverse because of its size? Population size would probably be a better marker for this purpose.
I recently tried switching to mint from the dark side, but the instability made me go back to Windows. I'd say everything doesn't 'just work' on mint at all, unless you have the most basic needs in your usage. Whenever I've tried to raise the issues with seasoned Linux user, the answer has been "well, most regular people don't need to do that specific thing".
So if it's true that Mint is the only Linux distro that "just works", then Linux is definitely not even close to being suitable as a mainstream choice. Which really saddens me, as I felt much better on a moral level using mint, but I couldn't live with the little annoyances that kept popping up. So now I live with the annoyances that pop up in windows instead .
That, or a pair of testicles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"If that's not the crisis, nothing is," he closed.
The writer's almost there: nothing is.
Being employed by an embassy doesn't magically make you a diplomat my guy. Not saying that the 2nd would cover it in any case, but still.
