im glad that your second favourite option, after modeling foreign policy and military tactics on those of russia, is modeling it after third graders
if a third of the folks youre killing being children is just the price youre willing to pay at least grow a spine and say so instead of pretending that russia is making you resort to shamelessly partaking in borderline warcrimes instead of using any other weapon
grabbing my full automatic tactical assault bread knife to fire indiscriminately into the crowd, killing a dozen at long range
wait no, thats not how knives work
im unaware of the specific part of thr CCM that says 'unless we get attacked', and marking something as a warcrime usually doesnt come with the caveat 'unless there is a war'
i also like to think that bombing several voters for every enemy combatant wouldnt sell all that well to said voters
im kidding of course, what with a third of the casualties of cluster bombs being children
kids cant vote whether theyre alive or a red chunky smear
'on one hand, bombing swaths of innocent civilians and kids is bad, on the other hand its my team doing it'

doesnt seem particularly out of character
if you see glowing flowers in the water, probably just ignore them
no, its still an extremely weird thing to see in the modern age regardless of how common it is
it acknowledges the crimes and that they were in fact bad things to do that we are not proud of, and it makes people feel better at 0 tangible cost to the netherlands
no one is suggesting that anyone alive today is at fault
i also dont know why you did some schpiel about how colonialism totally wasnt that bad if your real issue issue is apparently the lack of agency
many incredibly positive changes and advancements for the netherlands from exploiting colonies that saw extremely little of that wealth making its way back
any wealth that did make its way back was nearly exclusively to aid in the exploitation, not out of some genuine kindness
not to mention that doing a good thing does not bar you from blame for reprehensible actions, such as the netherlands shockingly brutal retaliation to any disobedience by the indigenous people of its colonies
I.E. the netherlands got rich off the backs of its colonies, which were neglected and abused for it
not to mention their expansive role in the transatlantic slave trade
an apology from the main representative of the nation is more than warranted, and its honestly fucking embarrassing that this absolutely tiny, practically meaningless statement took this long
im not a communist and my explaining how violence is not a literal part of the definition for communism as it is with fascism is not proselytism
is that what you were doing? trying to get folks to join your cult of fascism?
no, conspiracy to commit murder is not an inherent aspect of communist ideology in the same way that it is integral to fascism
because it either is or isnt what the users expect or admins want
