Any amputation is too many. Whatever can be done to decrease the risks should be done. There’s no excuse to not have maximum safety for your workers. These days we have lots of options for protection available to use.

For example, there exists saws that will stop once it comes in to contact with flesh.

This is why I love Arch. It comes with nothing installed and everything available!

It wasn’t long after the news of Omarchy funding hit media that NetworkChuck started shilling for it. I am no longer a subscriber

Why would context even matter? A genocide is a genocide no matter the context. It can NEVER be justified.

I have had similar discussions with a right-wing conspiracy theorist (friend of my dad) that also used to justify genocide. I do think and hope that our conversation has led to some positive change in his views. He used to get super triggered when I called what is happening is Palestine a genocide but today I think he accepts it. Or at least he no longer denies it completely. I have stood my ground and kept challenging whatever he has said.

Don’t give up on the people around you! Take the discussion, challenge their views. Call out any attempt to justify genocide. You don’t need to argue with these people about facts, history or whatever. Just a call out of any attempt to justify genocide is enough. Don’t let them keep spreading their hate unchallenged. Violence and hate can never win.
