  • Approx. 17.3 million people voted for the nazis in 1933, total population was 67.7 million, for 25.5% of the population.

    Approx. 77.3 million people voted for trump in 2024, total population was 340.1 million, for 22.7% of the population.

    No, the fascist gained power here with even less of a mandate than the nazis.

  • Archbishop says it would be ‘morally acceptable’ for troops to disobey orders

  • The problem is that the consequences aren't balanced. If you disobey an order, the consequences are immediate. If you obey an illegal order, you might face consequences at some point in the future. If you disobey an order because you genuinely believe it's illegal, there's no protection for you if that happens to not be the case. Meaning the only way to know that you're safe to disobey an order on the grounds that it's illegal is to know exactly what law is being broken. Not a thing that soldiers are trained to know.

    That, plus, in that moment you have to have a mountain of conviction to resist doing the thing they've been drilling into your head since basic, follow orders without thinking. Which is why I'm saying it amounts to nothing more than "the common soldiers aren't supposed to follow illegal orders, this is all their fault for not stopping this" as a justification.

  • Archbishop says it would be ‘morally acceptable’ for troops to disobey orders

  • It's the same in the US, but you have to be court-martialed to prove that the order was unlawful (ie, you fail to obey a command, you'll be arrested, and only let go if the military tribunal determines you were right to not follow that command).

    If Germany's system is the same... then you've got the rule on paper only. Soldiers don't question orders, it's how they're taught to act. This is a post hoc justification for punishing regular soldiers for unlawful acts, rather than anything actually actionable in the moment.

  • what an odd reoccurring pattern

  • I'm neurodivergent as fuck, but I think this post is supposed to be sarcastic. So stating that you see it sincerely rings odd.

  • Really? That's why I got a down vote? Dude, my metaphor in the first comment was likening it to "if we (Americans) called First Nation land 'Indialand'". So, no. If you map the metaphor back onto to the counter, it's the UK's fault, not America's.

  • I didn't see it before so it wasn't happening! /s

  • What a great idea

    Jump

  • Yes, it is. It's why they moderated that they did it as "very intentionally, just trying to get through". Moving someone or their stuff without permission is an act of physical aggression. I'm not saying they punched them or anything, but there were aggressive in a physical manner.

  • What a great idea

    Jump

  • Yes, that's what I mean. I'm unintentionally aggressive, but attempting to moderate that causes me to shutdown and not say anything instead. I'm making the conscious effort to speak instead of give into the obsession of over-moderating what I say to the point where I stop talking. So by making the choice to talk regardless, I'm intentionally being aggressive rather than quiet.

    Dude was twisting my words and using fallacies to protect his paper thin "argument". I did my best without directly insulting him. Well, until that last comment. Shouldn't have done that.

  • What a great idea

    Jump

  • So, you attempted regular social cues to communicate what you wanted, and when that failed you escalated to physical aggression and then got upset that the other person got upset?

    Like, not trying to throw you under the bus or anything, you both miscommunicated in that situation but you were the one to escalate. If the other person didn't know what they were doing wrong, couldn't you have just told them "I'm so sorry, but I can't get my cart around yours" when they didn't get why you couldn't get past?

    It really sounds like you were both tired and didn't have the grace in that moment for each other, rather than some failing on either of your parts.

  • I feel like you don't understand the position because there is nothing in what you're saying that implies that you do.

    I'm going to play this conversation as it occurred from my perspective to see if you see what I mean.

    Your first response is "you're taking an absurdist position, so I'll take the opposite absurdist position to demonstrate the problem. Could we eliminate all racist rules, of course not. Car rules can be racist, but we can't just not have car rules"

    I reply "yeah, but we can not have cars. Cars aren't a requirement for society"

    You reply "but rules would still apply to those who do the not-car transport"

    I reply "yes, but that wouldn't exclude them from society. They would still be able to participate, unlike those kicked out of the hypothetical store"

    To which you reply "but the grocery store wouldn't apply to everywhere"

    And I retort "no, but if they had any popularity, they would expand in order to deny disadvantaged people groceries at these 'better' stores"

    And then your latest reply, which I can't summarize without it becoming a straw man (my failing, not necessarily yours).

    This grocery store isn't "people extending basic decency" it's "people not inconveniencing others on threat of permanent removal". One is a social contract extended by and agreed to by others (basic decency) and the other is a threat enforced by the system, in this case the grocery store. You're arguing that systems need rules. I'm arguing that using systems when it could just be standard human interaction is insane. Do you see the disconnect now?

    Systems should be built to accommodate humans, not replace human interaction. Jane paying with a checkbook isn't a reason she be barred from a public service. Christ on bikes, man.

  • Yeah, just like it was an Italian man that first called them Indians. Wouldn't make it Italy's fault if Americans called it Indialand, though.

  • Agreed. Fuck cars and accept that other people aren't going to be perfect and that that's okay for them to be.
