#Proximity Services As Common Assets. A New Perspective for the #Mountains

> The theme of #marginality, at the centre of a part of the scientific debate, especially following the recent post-pandemic events, has marked a turnaround regarding those aspects specific to mountain areas that have always been read as signs of underdevelopment and closure. So, at this moment in time, what are the things that lead to an area being recognised as marginal? This question is at the centre of the publication "I servizi di prossimità come beni comuni. Una nuova prospettiva della montagna":

DAD Must Replace MAD. Why Eliminate Iran’s Tyranny… And All Tyrannies…

Violence is a problem, and that now, with Weapons of Mass Destruction and Mass Surveillance, more than ever. However, sometimes, in the most extreme cases, violence is the only solution.

I lived in Iran 🇮🇷 for several months. I know what is going there now: atrocious tyranny. How to get rid of it? Not with flowers, wishful thinking and the expectations that fanatic men in black who sleep with God everyday, share the same mentality as average citizens in the Empire Of Democracy (EOD). 

Why to get rid of fanatical tyrants? We are one and all the same! MAD has to be replaced by DAD. Let me explain.

MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction was the old strategic doctrine according to which there could not be a nuclear war between the USA and the USSR. But the USSR declined and fell: the tw0-body nuclear balance was over. Instead now Russia has been captured by an imbalanced tyranny which used the threat of nuclear bombs several times to get advantage. It’s also allied to Iran, and bombed Ukraine with more than 10,000 large Iranian drones…

On February 24, 2026, the deranged murderous tyrant of Russia, Putin, declared that France and Britain were planning to give nuclear weapon tech to Ukraine, that this was crossing a red line, and ex-president Medvedev, second on Russia Security Council,  threatened nuclear strikes on Ukraine, France and Britain.

Clearly the threat of nuclear war at the slightest pretext is here.

How did we get rid of Nazism? France and Britain declared war to Germany, September 3, 1939. Nazism was fine with US racists claiming to be living in “isolation”, while US plutocrats invested massively in fascist regimes: Germany, Italy, USSR and… Japan (whose invasion of China was fueled by US oil)… In 1937, top German generals and admirals asked the US and UK to side with France so they would have a pretext to kill the Nazis. Instead they were denounced to the Nazi leader!

When a mass murderous regime is entrenched, only a level of violence it cannot respond to will defeat it! A lesson from the real world

The point 👉 is that we are now all neighbors, civilization is one now more than ever. We can’t say that a nuclear armed tyranny is on the other side of the Earth 🌎  and sound intelligent if we forget that’s half an hour away. This is not 1945 anymore when the other side was a week of travel away. This is not just the nuclear age, this is the hypersonic suborbital age.

There is also the moral responsibility of letting regimes we indirectly do business with not respect basic human rights. I say “indirect” because, for example, Iran sells oil to China to make goods for the West.. 

In Afghanistan women are presently treated worse than slaves. That happened because influential fake progressives in the USA and Europe did not care enough. 

Women were treated well in Iran before the Mollahs came: there were women alpinists, whom I met in the mountains guiding parties, there were women police officers, arresting big macho Iranians along broad avenues all by themselves (I saw it with my eyes). 

Maybe the rights of women don’t matter to you. I have a friend who went to Afghanistan recently, he is very wealthy, crisscrossing the globe, everybody is happy to see him and his money, especially the Afghans. He had the best time. He also did not see or hear a single female. There females do not go to high school.   The Iranian regime believes in an extremely vicious version of Islam (I grew up with one completely opposed to that; but there the Iranian style clerics had always been outlawed…)

Martin Niemöller, a German Lutheran pastor, initially supported the Nazis in the early 1930s (he even voted for Hitler and held some antisemitic views at first), but he later became a vocal critic of the regime, particularly over Nazi interference in the churches. He was arrested in 1937, spent years in concentration camps (including Sachsenhausen and Dachau), and survived until liberation in 1945. He confessed the following after the war:

“First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Some will scoff: criticized for letting grow fascist murderous anti-right terror in France by Italian PM Georgia Meloni, French president Macron said something about the world becoming a better place if everyone were staying at home to guard their own sheep  (that’s the way Macron spitefully conceives apparently of the French people, with himself as a watchdog of the French sheep…) Meloni was right, though: at suborbital speed, it takes only around two minutes to go from Paris to Rome, so the danger of contamination of Italy by French extremists is an Italian problem, not just a French disaster.

Nationalism in the matter of global psychology is not just wrong, it’s incredibly stupid. Whatever happens in Beijing or Washington concerns us all. A world government does not formally exist, but a world government must be imposed, as 200 countries armed with nukes is not a solution with a future… Especially in the case of countries led by individuals who sleep with God every night… 

The present state of weapons tech makes it so that ANY dictatorship is a clear, present and mortal danger for ANY democracy, worldwide. 

The solution is DAD DICTATORSHIPS ASSURED DESTRUCTION. This is the way out, there is no other.

I recently stumbled upon the Proximity integration of Home Assistant as well as Traccar to track your devices. Until now, I used the iCloud3 v3 component to do such things. Time to compare them.
