forced labour is slavery

maybe folks would sign up to protect their country if they thought it deserved to be protected, or was doing anything for them

who knew that a walking, talking arrow with "THIS IS ISLAMOPHOBIA" written on it would actually be correct sometimes

this is the mainstream view on the far-left

it's 'i'm afraid' for me

youre a real beacon against the evils of tribalism, good job

its true, pro Palestine actions do not exist and all of earth shares the same opinion on the conflict

famously, everyone who lives in a country agrees with the actions of that country's government

thats why they invest in mass surveillance and such

i think enforcing the local culture by telling women what they can and cannot wear is bad, actually

can you explain why you disagree with that stance

But if you deliberately choose and only enforce the silliest, least serious example then either you’re doing it disingenuously or it’s a blanket, no tolerance approach that treats all cases equally. This is what they went with and as I’ve pointed out it’s not the latter, so I think it’s the former.

thats fair

We had one the other day which claimed that when some one off handedly said Death to NATO they were advocating and planning the genocide of every single person living in a NATO aligned country.

if this is the case i think it is, i understood 'people of NAVO' to mean actual NAVO officials, with emphasis on the fact that those are people, especially after their elaboration

as such i didnt read their comment as framing 'death to NAVO' as calling for the genocide of every NATO aligned country, rather assuming that it was calling for violence against the people that actually make up the organization

given the image of NATO officials on hexbear, i dont feel like that was an unfair assumption even if its not necessarily an accurate one, and I dont feel like assuming it was done disingenuously is fair especially when taking into account that the person in question still seemed to prefer federation

again, assuming were talking about the same case

I don't believe good and evil exist, period.

in point of historical fact the North Atlantic is the evil empire you keep fantasizing about

we all get our most fundamental beliefs shaken from time to time, hope youre taking it well

do i understand correctly that you are implying ukraine, a country attempting to frame itself as a modern developed democracy, should base its policies on those of russia
