  • And when the world police no longer polices we get emboldened actions like bombing Iran for no good reason.

    I think you have a mistaken idea of what the policing has looked like in the past 78 years. The US bombed Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lybia, and they've armed plenty of regimes doing the bombing for them (Saddam Hussein, for example). America has been destabilizing the globe for decades, and there is a lot of blood on their hands (on the order of 12 million, if we count direct casualties).

    You think there was a good reason for invading Iraq?

  • Thank you very much I like your comment too.

  • It's not the same, likes cost nothing. Imagine going around and telling every poster you upvote "good comment, I like this".

  • Your takeaway from WWII is that the guy shoving the kids into the gas chambers should not be condemned? What the fuck is wrong with you?

  • I still don't really understand what you mean. What does "it" refer to? And what are nice normal countries?

  • I'm not sure I understand what you mean. To be clear about my own position in this:

    1. Chanting death to the idf is, to me, morally equivalent to chanting death to the SS. Both are ok, even though the SS had forced conscription.
    2. Forced conscription is bad, but not really on topic.

  • Sure, but that's a whole different convo from finding "your honor, I had to murder the 5 year old; the alternative was a couple of months in prison and flipping burgers for the rest of my life" at all agreeable.

  • So this is pretty much exactly the line of reasoning that the nazis used to defend their participation in the holocaust. It wasn't convincing then, and no, it isn't convincing for the current genocide either.

  • Corporations are saving the planet!

  • The only thing I can find in this direction is a letter from beverage companies (including coca cola) opposing these measures. But that's based on a very shallow google search, so take it with a grain of salt. Where can I find info about what coca cola lobbied for or against?

  • Love that the "just following orders" defense is making a comeback. Just as valid today as during the Nuremberg trials.

  • Sorry no. You can't be an apartheid state and call yourself a democracy. That's not how words work.

  • US to withdraw from NATO under Republican bill

    Jump

  • Between this and USAID I can't say I'm unhappy about it. Of course dismantling imperialism is a good thing, but I also don't understand. The republicans should be all about illegal invasions, bombing civilians, and installing puppet dictators, so they should love USAID and NATO, yet here we are. Is this just incompetence?

  • Could you help me out with that? Between this, the Laken Riley act, the support of the bombing of Iran, the support of the genocide, and the opposition to Zohran, the dems look like they quite like Trump, so I guess I just don't understand. Or should we buckle up for more performative whine ins like Corey Booker did?

  • So just ignore what's going on right now? That's like saying I should vote republican if I care about black rights because they abolished slavery.
