If you moved to the slave states before the civil war, you would absolutely be one of those assholes even if you didn’t enslave someone, or were in charge.
If you were a white South African during the apartheid years, and didn’t leave as soon as possible EDIT: or fight the apartheid state, you were one of those assholes.
If you were a white Rhodesian… Actually, for this one, you were just an asshole, no qualifications.
That’d be a nice world to live in. I’d love to live there.
Jesus. You’re just going straight fucking racist here, but you’re too historically ignorant to be aware of it.
I’m guessing it was intentional that you didn’t touch the British empire. There is no analysis you can do that would have any other government kill more people than the British empire. Should TERF Island “Be destroyed by all means short of overt, kinetic war”?
I mean, there is actual continuity between the current British Government and the British Empire. The Russian government doesn’t have anywhere near the same level of continuity.
And I am arguing in good faith. You may not enjoy the cognitive dissonance of having someone point out your obvious racism, but that doesn’t make me not believe you’re a racist that gets off on feeling self righteous. That is something I truly believe.
Just like the US killed far more Iraqi and Afghani’s than Russia killed Ukrainians. SO FAR. That may eventually not be true anymore, but it is an absolute fact now. And facts aren’t a bad faith argument.
You know what is a bad faith argument? Ignoring the points in the comment that you are responding to that prove you’re either wrong or racistly holding a double standard based on … something? That is also something I absolutely believe and am arguing in good faith. Although, I suspect that you don’t actually know what “bad faith” means.
You know what is also a bad faith argument? Calling someone insane for a strawman argument that you made up. I didn’t claim America kill more than 20 million people worldwide. What I did state was that the US kill more Iraqis and Afghani’s than Russia killed Ukrainians. Both were illegal invasions.
You don’t care about justice. Stop pretending you do.
EDIT:
Iraq - Afghanistan: 4 million
Vietnam - Korea: 5 million
The Jakarta Method: 1 million
There’s at least half of the number that you think justifies destroying a nation that isn’t related to the one you’re talking about.
What percentage of 20 million deaths crosses the threshold you have for countries that should be destroyed?
I wonder how much this joke ages us?
Like what is the oldest age the average person wouldn’t get this joke without the context of the comment you replied to.
The US killed more people in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I have no problem with your statement, but unless it applies to the US, I have to wonder why.
Like, is it the skin color of the people Russia killed vs the skin color of the people the US killed?
Probably nobody on earth is responsible for more death then the British empire.
Do you hold the same views of Britain?
Edit: to be clear, I’m not the person that down voted your comment.
EDIT EDIT: I’m downvoting you now when you doubled down on the racism.
I find it interesting that spaz isn’t censored, but whatever comparison word you used is.
The censor bot is not only English, but specifically and only (presumably since I can’t see the censored word) American English.
The word nuance doesn’t belong in a discussion involving genocide.
Or princess bride meme.
It’s not a joke.
I still remember the route to my Moms place
101 to the 126 to the 5 to the 210 to the 57 to the 71 to the 15 to the 78.
All to try and bypass LA traffic.
The 405 is always bumper to bumper around LAX, even at 3 AM.
That route was the fastest. Or it was like 15 years ago.
So you’re a Nazi.
People that don’t care about the ongoing genocide of 2.8 million people, most of whom were children, and don’t care they’re being slaughtered because of the action of less then 1% of the population are Nazis who are okay with genocide.
You don’t have a problem with genocide, just the people being genocided.
You’re a Nazi.
You will never get engagement when asking people defending Israel about South Africa or Rhodesia.
They will either ignore the question, or act confused why you’d being up ‘countries that don’t exist anymore’ in bad faith.
Gaza was getting purged by fire under Biden.
You just didn’t care because of who was doing it.
No person actively engaged in Genocide is an anti-Nazi. They’re just Nazis.
You never cared about Palestinian children if you supported someone that was actively engaged in murdering them.
It’s not ‘you showed’. It’s ‘you showed the world who you are’. Which is someone who is okay with genocide.
Personally, I think the South African model.
However, none of my family got sent to the torture-rape-death camp Sde Teimen to be raped to death, and none of my nieces or nephews were kidnapped by the IDF in the West Bank…
I think the victims of genocide should be the ones that get to choose what happens to their slaughterers.
If everyone you meet today is an asshole…
People who voted for McClellan during the civil war instead of Lincoln weren’t trying to do the right thing.
They were trying to make peace with slavers.
They were trying to be complicit with slavery.
Spoken like someone who would have voted for McClellan during the civil war to make peace with the south.
Batteries for something like this would be something like a lake on top of, and at the bottom of, a mountain.
Then you use excess power to move water up, and when you need power, the water comes down through a turbine.
My cat of twelve years died on my birthday. He had been sick with Triaditis for about 6 weeks and I had to feed him through a tube 3 times a day. Each time would take about an hour and a half.
He was getting better, too. Putting on weight, and ate his own meals for 5 days. But the E-tube got infected and so we took it out 2 days early.
He got home. He vomited. He stopped eating for two days. He started vomiting and acted in pain and so I took him in again. They discovered fluid in his abdomen. He was too skinny from his digestion issues for a further hospitalization and he was in pain.
He slept each night in my armpit with his head on my shoulder.
I worked from home before the pandemic, and so I was with him almost all of the time for his life. I loved his tiny 6 lb ass.
He was a bathroom communist. It could be 3 a.m. and I could check that he was asleep, and when I looked up from sitting on the toilet, the door would be slightly ajar and he’d be in front of me watching the door.
I miss you, little dude.
Just to be clear, I have three SD cards. Two just have the rocknix os on them and are in slot 1 of the two devices. The third has all the roms and ports in it, and it gets swapped into the device I’m using second slot.
I use the x55 at home, and the rg353m when I’m out of the house.
I don’t need to respond with anything. The racism is absolutely clear to anyone reading your words.
I’m also willing to bet you don’t feel the same way about the English.
