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... ๐Ÿ™„

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?

[โ€“] zbyte64@awful.systems 0 points 1 month ago (11 children)

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

[โ€“] zbyte64@awful.systems 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (13 children)

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

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

I think liberals doing trust exercises with marxists and others from different political leanings is the effective part.
