in theory a lot or europeans are still living comfortably off of the horrific crimes they committed, and african and caribbean nations are still struggling and at a massive disadvantage compared to where they could have been
in practice i doubt this money would come from those most responsible, and i doubt the money would go to those with the biggest disadvantages
i also dislike reparations in general compared to help for the sake of help, as it draws focus away from whether nations actually need help and how much, and instead operates entirely on a blame game
not that help for the sake of it is going to happen sufficiently either anyway
im aware that it was largely a rich few that were actually responsible for these acts, im arguing that responsibility isnt all that relevant
it shouldnt be about chastising or punishing, it should be about getting folks who continue to have an advantage from horrendous acts to help out folks who continue to have a disadvantage resulting from those horrendous acts in order to level the playing field, because thats the right thing to do
they do not in fact lose their immunity if there is a tank nearby
wuh-woh! ;3;
your endless sympathy for sick and injured civilians getting buried in rubble because of the actions of folks they have no control over is noted, you obnoxious scum
i figured you mustve meant an actual specific person, since disagreeing with something doesnt suddenly make you a hypocrite if some guy you have nothing to do with in the same ~1 billion people group you were born into also does it
is it actually hypocrisy that youre using a wrong definition for, then?
