Like when the DoJ doesn’t release the full video of Epstein’s death we get to make any argument we want

New recipe calls to make a stew with the pig still attached to the boot

That’s like me saying what the Nazis did was legal when someone brings up the holocaust. Like what is your point in making this distinction? To show us you understand definitions? Good for you I guess… 🙄

You don’t have to be a tankie to recognize that they are enforcing international law. In that context of a civil war their actions are uncharacteristically peaceful.

The same cynicism that reinforces that mode of propaganda is used at home to justify supporting genocidal candidates.

As someone who gets to interact with the unhoused daily, we’re not putting the mentally ill in prison because we care but because they are bad for business.

“Both sides bad” vibes projected onto geopolitics.

If Israel treated Palestine like China treats the Uyghurs then Kamala would be president.

I think it’s rather beside the point when talking about human rights. Why do you think it is relevant to repeat ad nausea in the context of human rights?

And I will argue that is some very dubious context given how people are being treated. Like people are disappearing and you’re out here arguing they did a crime. Great job. Many of them aren’t even undocumented.

Yes and further up the person was talking about how no person is illegal. So why are you even arguing?

Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn’t make the person illegal or even a felon?

Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person. It’s not even a felony for heavens sake.

“fail to participate in the legal system”

Given my own experience with a brother-in-law being deprorted to a country where he cannot legally work, this sounds like a euphemism. We participated in the legal system, lawyers and all.

It’s like a parking ticket. Is everyone who had a traffic violation now an illegal person?

People saying because it’s a woman but honestly I was thinking it works because you’re creating a small human connection in a system that alienates us from each other, providing “value” we didn’t know we nedded

It’s one of those “every accusation is a confession”. People are thinking about themselves when talking about others.

It’s what Kirk would have wanted RIP

They write the rules and we use it as an excuse to not escalate.

I wonder if you could prompt inject with QR codes…

Ditto. And I love how wholesome the blahaj community is here on the fedi. Anyone got a problem with them has a problem with me.
