He did what a depressed disillusioned soldier could do. Should we encourage more soldiers to off themselves? They already have been for decades. If one wanted to effective sabatoge for Israeli occupation in particular, he'd have to reinlist but there is no guarantee that he'd be stationed in israel to be in proximity to sabatoge the operation. If he spoke the local languages there is a chance he could try to work with Hamas, but there is a high chance of rejection because this could be a way to inject a spy in the most obvious manner as far as Hamas understands.

Being socially alienated also makes it difficult to coordinate to do a more effective sabatoge. Had he done something less desparate he might have been able to share his millitary insights to improve the protests. He could have worked to be an effective propaganda tool for longer if he could keep his record clean. With that he'd be supported and alive. But he was so alienated that he'd dead now.

Someone that works for whatever org you work with owns a domain. Make it run by the org. You can make nextcloud have logins for your known members to see sensitive data.

A type of bird that migrates through canada and mexico. Whatever walls humans build to stop people from going over them mean nothing to a bird that flies over them. Loons also might be aware of planes which most immigrants that stay longer than they are permitted come through anyways.

It probably was worse because he knew that he was complicit in it.

Be careful, it sounds like you are doxxing yourself as a real dragon. It might be fun to have you involved in the revolution as an executioner. It would be lovely to have a court convict the various bourgeoisie and sentence them to be devoured by our revolutionary dragons.

Free will is a human's subjective experience making choices.

Determinism is describing that the more information about a system, the more the result can be predicted accurately. With perfect knowledge, one gets perfect predictions. (nobody will get perfect knowledge)

Both of these statements can be true without negating each others premise.

But why do people think there is some sort of contradiction?

Perhaps we should look at this dialecticaly.

A human body has desires and needs to sustain itself and also will do behavior to produce happy chemicals for the brain. The brain creates a model of reality based on its experiences in order to optimize the best experiences. People can calculate less optimal choices because of the incompleteness of their mental models of the universe. There will always be a contradiction between any brain's model of the universe and the actual universe. A mental model can be reinforced to make that mental model give feel good hormones to the body. When the universe demonstrates to the mental model that it is false in some manner it gives bad feeling hormones.

Most conservatives in KKKrackerland I have met seem to insist on free will because of the central point of their model is that the world that benefits them and they want to feel that they made the right choices. They tie their sense of self to their nation. When evidence presents itself that the nation is less than good they cling to the ambiguity to justify their "truth" about the goodness of the nation. Those that suffer are merely making choices that are wrong. If the impoverished and criminalized made the right choice, they wouldn't be poor or criminal. When they do criminal acts to hurt others, sometimes it is for the joy of hurting others. Other times it is because they know that they can get away with it and indifferent to the suffering of those they hurt.

Most liberals I have met cling to the model of determinism because they get pleasure from being correct more than identifying with victory. Some liberals of persecuted minority groups often identify with that failure and develop a sense of learned helplessness. If one does not believe in choice, one can not see themselves improving themselves or the world. When they do crimes its often because they lack the imagination to meet their needs in a legal manner.

As a communist I want to improve myself to give myself the power to help others, and in return, I need to have faith that those others will help me improve this wretched capitalist hellscape. I'm a highly empathetic person and I see the needs of all as my own needs. My research seems to indicate that socialism is the optimal means to stop others from harming me and harming themselves, for that reason I support socialism. I don't need to have 100 percent knowledge to choose socialism in a deterministic material world.

depends

If it annoys the audience to organize then it is agitprop. It ought to agitate to organize movement in the real world.

There are the left tubers that shamelessly want to just grow an audience, but discourage any practical action towards the overthrow of capitalism. These influencers are not making agitprop. (Vaush)

Would love to see all of these thugs personally held accountable in court for their arrogantly posted war crimes.

Zomb 100 is not technically an isekai but it is way more direct about how much he hates working at a black company (company that gives forces people to work unreasonable hours) and just so happy that he doesn't have the capitalism responsibilities anymore so he tries to make the best of living in a zombie apacolypse. Its funny to watch a guy use his optimism to make the best of an objectively bad situation.

Most of entertainment is designed to help people escape from their miserable alienated experience under capitalism.

Anime is not popular only in Japan. Its popular in many countries. Ive heard some stories about russians committing suicide because they wanted to get isekaied.

Isekai concept after death is kind of a promise of heaven. People don't want to be bored after they die and they reincarnate to live an interesting life rather than praying all of the time. An opportunity to feel like one matters in contrast to living where you are a replaceable cog in a machine that doesn't care for your well being, and it being difficult to find friends as an adult.
