/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • If Congress gives its approval she's going to need to sharpen her "war is wrong" critique a lot more than this, and that's one thing that would be really good about a War Powers Resolution. It'll force the anti-war voices to stop hiding behind proceduralism like this and to actually make the case against war outside of appealing to the Constitution or whatever.

  • What the OP means by an "illegal war" and what she means by "This war is unlawful." seems different. The OP is talking about international law: wars of aggression are illegal. AOC seems to only be saying it's unlawful because it lacks Congressional approval.

  • It's better than I feared, but not as good as I hoped. She can't seem to decide if the war itself is wrong or if war without Congressional approval is wrong. She says some good things here, I like that she called out the blatant aggression, but it's mixed with this weak liberal garbage about Congress's authority and the Constitution that undermines her condemnation.

    What will she say if there is a vote, and the warmongers that control Congress vote for war?

  • Yeah but can those brain cells appreciate the sick soundtrack?

  • It's like that Sartre quote.

    They're playing. It's funny to them when they call a girls' school a military asset, and it's funny to them when we get mad about it.

  • idk I go to sleep with it under my tongue 🤷‍♀️

  • This is the century of humiliation. The Brandonization will continue.

  • Therefore when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.

    The world's first recorded use of doublethink?

  • Turn the water cooling to wine cooling.

  • It’s not even clear if the genocide in Gaza has the goal of killing people

    Gibberish.

  • Violent rioters armed by Israel and the US are also oppressors. They just want to oppress different factions.

  • You need to understand that the civilians will suffer if Iran can not fight off Israel here.

  • They believe their own hype. Whether an LLM would be useful or not is irrelevant to the perception that it will be useful.

  • They don't get to decide for everyone else.

    Those police and military personnel, for instance, don't want Iran to fall. They shot the armed rioters because they wanted to defend Iran. Why don't they count?

  • That's getting cause-and-effect backwards.

    Israel only gives weapons to people who they believe will be useful. Every single person Israel gives weapons to is someone who will pledge their loyalty to Israel, they'd never give weapons to someone who might turn those weapons back on Israel someday.

  • Yeah I'm sure the regime installed by fucking Israel and the US will be so much better! 🤡

  • And do you think fucking Israel is a great liberator?

    They'd just be US/Israeli slaves, and I promise that will be much worse.

  • And if the civilians are armed by a foreign country, with the goal of toppling your government? Should the government just let them win?

  • You're just ignoring the weapons that the US/Israel provided them, huh?

    They sure as shit wouldn't have attacked police and military institutions without foreign backing.

  • Yeah you never saw a CIA-backed coup you didn't like.

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
