So unbelievably fucking done with this OwN tHe LiBs bullshit. Like do you want a brownie? An award for being the best Leftist? Jesus christ some of yalls have completely lost the plot.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

OP most of all.

[-] UsernameHere@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago

This is why leftists consistently lose elections.

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

Yet people have fun making the same memes at conservatives and others of different thought. Do you hold the same stance against them?

[-] Iceman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Mienshao is done considering that they might hold contradictory values.

[-] XM34@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Oh please, if we'd hold conservatives to any values at all they would lose right now! And they'd probably throw a tamper tantrum while complaining how unfair everyone is, all while continuing to destroy every last bit of freedom we have left!

I'm just mad at liberals and expressing that; I'm not sure why there needs to be a plot.

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

So you're in with the enemy. Clearly.

Bombing Yemeni pirates is not news.

Including a journalist in your war plans would be hilarious news if it wasn’t also tragic.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Bombing Yemeni pirates is not news.

I like how you reduced the Yemeni blockade to "piracy".

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

Unauthorised people tried to board shipping with the right of innocent passage. They are pirates.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

In international waters, regardless of the ship's destination, owner, or origin.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -4 points 1 month ago

Uh... I'm pretty sure you need to take ships for ransom or other material gain before you're considered a pirate. The Houthi blockade is just that, a blockade (definitely needs to be more targeted though), and frankly I care a lot more about opposing genocide than freedom of navigation.

Piracy consists of any of the following acts:

(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed:

(i) on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft;

(ii) against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State;

(b) any act of voluntary participation in the operation of a ship or of an aircraft with knowledge of facts making it a pirate ship or aircraft;

(c) any act of inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described in subparagraph (a) or (b).

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982

The “blockade” fits detention in (a). The missiles they fired at the ships fit the violence.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -1 points 1 month ago

For private ends. That part is important.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

They are being contracted by Iran to do this.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

Uh... What do you think the Houthis are? They're an independent political entity with their own goals, ideas and people. Even if they were doing this at Iran's bidding they wouldn't be "contracted" and their goals wouldn't be private ends.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

So your argument is that they’re independent terrorists rather than pirates?

[-] Iceman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Asks the guy whos argument is that the defacto rulers of Yemen are crew or passengers of a private ship.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

Oh that too lmao.

[-] Mysterious_old_man@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

You're right, religious extremists is much better. They all follow the same pedophile prophet and that's the only reason they back each other

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure if its only the liberals who are like this, but it seems like the a lot of american people don't care about the destructive US foreign policy
