I love the “his own people” thing, it’s such a fucked up little line.
One, it’s never applied to WW2 Germany. Hitler is never accused of “killing his own people,” I guess because Jews aren’t real Germans to liberals.
Two, like you said it’s so often just in regards to a civil war, of course they’re “his own people” everyone involved are his people!
Three, I don’t see why killing people of your country is worse than killing people of another country. In fact I’d argue that the second one is significantly worse!
States, even the best ones, do kill their own citizens sometimes. It happens, it’s an inherent part of being a state. Killing citizens of another country should basically never happen! Why should it!?
It makes me almost hate the centrists more than the fascists. Centrists seem to lack theory of mind, the ability you develop around two years old to understand that other people have different thoughts and goals than you do.
At least the fascists don’t smugly proclaim that they’re the “adults in the room” the only people smart enough to have considered their solution to the problem, and if only you were that smart you surely would’ve come to the same conclusion.
Most of these people believe the earth was created 6000 years ago, the dinosaurs were killed when God flooded the earth, and evolution is made up. They don’t want scientific research happening at all.
Not as much as they should, but China did have a pre-existing culture of wearing masks when sick or in times of high spread (flu season) so presumably more than in the US.
When COVID was a pandemic I was right there with you
Let me stop you right there, the pandemic is still ongoing. Just because people stopped caring doesn’t mean it ended. Joe “The Reaper” Biden declaring it over doesn’t mean it ended.
I don’t think you can reasonably say at this point that the US’s actions re: Israel are in the US and its empire’s best interests. Israel is far and away the greatest risk to US hegemony and security.
Allowing (and encouraging) Israel to do what it’s been doing does not make sense if your goal is to prolong and expand American power.
Didn’t need to pirate shit when everything was on Netflix for $8. But if everyone and their mother is gonna start their own streaming service and charge $18 a month I will simply steal
