This seems like it would be a good moment for a global demilitarization campaign to take off, before we automatically get the exact opposite

@joepie91 what exactly are you proposing we do against sieg-heiling nazis openly fantasizing about invading, think positively?
world politics
@SehrLesbisch That is half the point of demilitarization; removing the accumulated structures of violence and power that said nazis invariably end up taking over, and instead developing better ways to deal with these issues proactively as a society

@joepie91 I can't proactively demilitarize a country on the other side of an ocean. And it's not looking like they will, either.
world politics
@SehrLesbisch Hence "global campaign". This is not a national issue. Demilitarization can only work if people in different countries organize together.

@SehrLesbisch This whole conversation seems like a rather bad-faith reading of what I said, to be honest, and I don't really feel like discussing any further this way

@joepie91 what makes you think this "global campaign" of yours will succeed when it hasn't before and the amount of open military threats has vastly increased?
