Damn lazy liberals kids conservative lawmakers just don’t want to work anymore - if they picked themselves up by the bootstraps and did their job of representing people, they’d be liked and wouldn’t need a taxpayer-funded armed security detail to protect their widdle feewings.
The Japanese work culture is an absolute dumpster fire - the reason all their media is focused on highschoolers is that high school was the last time anyone had a shred of freedom.
But broadly, yeah - there’s not much incentive to respect the norms of a system that’s completely fucked you, then demands compliance.
He’s already been impeached for all the good it did.
The issue is that the GOP has power, and they’ve hitched their wagon to Trump, meaning that they’ll move heaven and earth to protect him. Rules, norms, fairness, representation and integrity don’t matter one bit - it’s all self-interest.
I don’t get this eating bugs paranoia - assuming it becomes a meaningful thing, they’ll be turned into something tasty. There’s also every reason to think it’ll be cheaper and more sustainable than meat.
I don’t see conspiracusts losing their minds about the mechanically reclaimed offal in their burgers.
It’s also SOP for a ship to be piloted by a specialist from that waterway rather than a member of the crew (as happened here). My terminology is all wrong, but you get the picture.
Exactly this - Though I want him to have the best possible VP pick so that he’ll gobble up as many GOP votes as possible before pissing them away, signing a book deal and becoming a menace on the pundit and/or speaking tour circuits.
Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month....
There we go. The fact that there’s evidence of the murder of a group of apparent civilians and no evidence they were combatants or expectation of it is the problem. You don’t get to go killing whoever you please, shrug your shoulders and say “eh - I dunno - Hamas I guess - who cares”. This applies doubly in the context of the ongoing genocide - Israel have made it crystal clear they can’t be trusted.
To look at a genocidal regime killing a bunch of people that gave no indication they’re combatants, shrugging your shoulders and saying there’s no evidence they’re not guilty doesn’t cut it. It excuses the commission of the genocide (which is just thousands of instances of this kind of thing with an imposed famine and displacement), and represents a total disregard for the rule of law.
I expect Israel to have a better justification for killing a group of people than “they looked Palestinian.” - that’s genocidal. This is a high-profile example largely because it appears so unambiguous. Israel are going to need to present the evidence that this was justified, or it gets thrown on the pile of killings amounting to that genocide.
We have video footage of a bunch of civilians being targeted in a drone strike - until they’re shown to be enemy combatants (not happening) this is evidence of a warcrime. Your logic could be used to justify nuking Tel Aviv - we can’t know the entire population aren’t enemy combatants, and it’s not for us to prove or ask for proof, so stop worrying about it, Karen.
If you believe the IDF need to prove the killing was justified, why are you defending them not doing so, and if you believe this is a genocide, why do you deny that the killings that make up that genocide are unjustified (remembering that they literally haven’t been justified)?
I’m pretty happy to change my tune on this instance if credible evidence is presented, but I’m also comfortable saying that I know that won’t happen at this point.
I don’t think calling me a Karen for opposing warcrimes and genocide is having the desired effect, but you do you, champ.
Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. It’s not clear from the video.
We’d need the IDF to justify the killings. They haven’t won’t and can’t.
Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. It’s not clear from the video.
You think you can go shoot up a school, then say it was in self-defence without evidence and get away with it? How’s the principle different here?
We don’t. No evidence they are civilians. No evidence they are combatants. If you have proof other than “they look civilian”, give us proof.
The burden isn’t on those killed to prove their innocence - the killers need to do that. Rule of law - really simple stuff you seem incapable of grasping but get all pissy when I point that out.
It is not. No proof this is Gaza. No proof it’s an IDF drone strike. No proof that it happened last week, last month, last year or last decade. If you have proof “IDK it looks like it”, give us proof. And not just one of these things, but ALL.
…except the IDF admitting it was them. I know they have zero credibility, but when they admit to this kind of thing, I think it’s reasonable to believe them.
Nobody said IDF don’t have proof. They just don’t have to share it with the public, no matter how hard you want it. I’m not defending them, I’m trying to show you that your logic is flawed, and you can easily be swayed by misinformation and propaganda.
Absent anything at all suggesting they were combatants in the context of a genocide Israel is committing? I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
What I believe is my deduction from actual, confirmed, reputable sources. Not a random twitter video. My opinion that is a genocide is just that - opinion. And unlike you, I don’t claim I have proof. Because none of us have.
Again, the IDF admitted to the killings. You saw video of a bunch of people being killed for no discernible reason, and you’re defending that.
And the rest? You can stop reaching - it’s not doing you any favours.
