This is almost getting the point of Arrandts 'banality of evil' comment.

Most human evils are done by ordinary humans.

There is nothing specially evil about Nazis.

Fascist governments are made up of ordinary people.

The video evidence is already out. Plus basically every European knows what an ultra is, and will look at the number of injured and comment "wow, that is lower then normal"

This is just ultras who got their asses kicked and are trying to claim victim status.

This is the funniest cope I've ever seen for 'my countries ultras tried to start shit with non-football hooligans and got their asses kicked.'

Fighting people who aren't women and children without total air superiority isn't that easy, is it?

Your response is coming from the entitlement of not having your entire extended family disappeared.

I'm glad you have that privilege.

Don't murder peoples families and expect their support.

"Yes, we murdered your entire extended family, but we need your help to beat this person we swear would kill your family 110% faster. Never mind the fact that we already killed all of your extended family"

What don't you get about this? You and people like you have zero credibility given what the people you support ALREADY HAVE DONE with the people they've done it to.

Honestly, we were done after Gore.

2000 was the last time period we could have done something that wouldn't result in unimaginable pain to deal with climate change.

Too many tipping points have already been crossed.

The climate is one thing that both would fuck the world.

That's a done deal at this point. The Democratic party would have slowed the rate of increase, but given the tipping points we've already crossed, we require actual massive amounts of removal of greenhouse gases, and major geo-engineering projects to try and prevent everything coming our way from climate change.

This is less of a politics post, and more of a 'we're so fucked, and most people aren't aware of how fucked we are that they think what the Democratic Party wants to do for climate would actually do a damn thing'

Seriously, at this point it would require a complete overhaul of both our political system and economic system such that life would be unrecognizable to forestall gigadeaths.

Not in the West Bank.

... How many villages in southern Lebanon has the IDF captured, again?

Let me guess, you think declaring victory and running away in 2006 meant they won, right?

Man, you should talk to Emperor Gowron. You guys share some ideas.

Edit: and no, cutting edge weapons systems on the Iranian/Russian side have not been used. The west would literally salivate at the opportunity to get some real world data on the S500.

Also, the purpose of American weapons systems is not to be the best. The purpose is to be an expensive and effective way to funnel middle class money to the stock holders of Boeing and Raytheon. Good military systems are as effective as they need to be while being cheap enough to manufacture in large numbers. An anti missle defense system that costs 2 million per missile intercepted when the missiles themselves cost 10 - 100k is an absolute failure, even if it intercepts everything it targets.

Frankly, the country with the most impressive drone program in the world is Yemen.

The only gymnastics someone is doing here is trying to tie a stupid domestic politician to a much greater foreign policy evil THAT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. He also didn't have anything to do with the Armenian genocide, and bringing him up in that context would be as relevant as bringing him up in this context.

Again, this isn't hard to understand.

....

RFK Jr. Is a crazy fuck. He also isn't relevant to this topic at all.

Bringing him up in this context is literally providing cover to the people responsible for this moral failure, and tying it to someone who, while bad and crazy, has no particular relationship to this topic.

This isn't hard to understand.

What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?

Sublemmy doesn't quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.
