That is how I always perceived it. I can't even imagine someone saying that with a straight face as a correcting rebuke.

Nearly my entire family went full-tilt Trump and it blew me away. He was everything I had always been taught not to be and here was my family, that I loved, all head-over-heels for this conman.

I withdrew from the family and stopped talking anything politics with them for years. It's only been the last year or so that everyone in my family has woken up to what a pathetic girfter Trump is. Everyone except my brother who I don't talk to anymore. I hope some day he grows up and realizes how many vulnerable people he has to hurt to feel like an "alpha".

I miss him. He used to be a genuinely sweet person.

Looks great! I am a pretty new player but I'm interested in how the FPS stuff is going to work. Guess I should log on and find out.

How dare you? Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a classic! 🍅

The UN is not useless. The whole point is to facilitate conversation between governments. They were never intended to have authoritative power.

Evil is a dumb term. The word they are looking for is "responsible".

I got super into Rimworld this last month and had a blast. I am also closing out my first playthrough of BG3, doing it with a friend so it's taking a bit longer. Picked up the new Cyberpunk DLC but haven't really had a chance to dig into it yet.

How am I moving goal posts? I posted info and asked a question. I'm not sure you are arguing in good faith.

[-] EnlightenMe@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

So no refuting the info I posted just moving the goal posts?

The UN visited and said china's actions were crimes against humanity but pulled back from using the word genocide out of caution. That is not the same as saying they "they don't believe there is killing happening".

Also the only reason China hasn't had a deeper probe into the situation is it keeps getting downvoted at the UN Human Rights Council, guess who is voting against it? Qatar, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan citing the risk of "alienating China".
