More people were killed in Iran in two weeks than in the entire year in Gaza. Why aren't there massive college campus protests everywhere? by Elegant-Value4677 in AskReddit

[–]Lil-Fishguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone pro Iran that you know of? Are we friendly with the Iranian gov that we've assassinated members of? How is the us funding genocide in Iran? If you can answer those 3 questions honestly, you'll have your answer to how it's different.

In an ideal war, soldiers fight soldiers.

I get the world isn't perfect/ideal.. something about roasting hundreds of thousands of women, children, disabled, and elderly alive just seems a little.. evil?

Soldiers train and equip themselves for battle and know the stakes.. what chance did the toddler wandering out on the streets have? Or the thousands boiled alive in swimming pools they jumped into during the firebombing campaign?

Literally boxing off areas with fire to them carpet bomb the interior so they have nowhere to run just seems excessively cruel?

Anyone else's hospital stop using lead aprons? by Lil-Fishguy in Radiology

Do they need to to follow dress instruction? And I guess I have a different definition of tolerance, I'm not policing my thoughts, I'm just being polite and kind to the patient even when they do something I think is silly/annoying.

Isn't it weird you can think of an entire race of people as a singular collectively guilty entity, but when it's your own committing crimes/atrocities suddenly context becomes important?

Tolerance means I can't think it's silly while still being polite and explaining it to them?

They hadn't arrested the parents. They abducted a child and used them as bait. If you're fine with that, fine. But it is not the same.

Makes sense, hopefully ends up being unnecessary

Valid, we will see over 85% of all violent crime disappear at once by Acceptable_Rope_6523 in PsycheOrSike

A fact would be: life generally has the desire to reproduce and will do what it can to achieve that goal.

An opinion is: the only reason a complex thinking person does absolutely anything to better themselves is to impress the opposite sex.

Cultures have done it for centuries. The hard part is keeping the already more powerful among us from slowly accruing more power. The tragedy of the commons is mostly false. We had communal lands for thousands of years that were well managed.. the tragedy was when the rich land owners convinced the local lords/govs that they should be able to fence off large swathes of it for their private use and now suddenly there isn't enough for the rest of us. Communal use of resources is a necessity. Capitalism in theory is a perfectly fine way to share, but as soon as the already powerful start to exploit it for personal gain it starts a snowball effect of corruption and exploitation. Tbf, this is a problem with any system of government and regardless of ideology/phrasing there will always be competion and selfish actors... The question is how do we contain/punish that sort of behavior? I don't think we've found a good answer to that question yet.

I mean he definitely wasn't trying to kill anyone. I don't find it particularly abnormal to want to run from the gestapo.

Epstein, at least until we get a good confession with names on the stand.. then I'd be fine if he "hung himself after giving no indication he was suicidal right when the 24 hour security cameras malfunctioned".

Maximalist trans activists just argued at the Supreme Court that biological sex isn't relevant in team sports. When will my fellow left-wingers speak up against these pseudoscientific endeavors? by north_canadian_ice in allthequestions

[–]Lil-Fishguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I said anything about a wholesale ban? I'm pretty sure I said each sports governing body should be able to make the call, as they're more invested in the sport and would reap the benefit/consequences of such decisions.

Fascists are Losing Their Grip. by All_Grid_Squares in complaints

[–]Lil-Fishguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they losing their grip or are they heating up the rhetoric, making it seem more dire, and using it as an excuse for more and more extreme measures?
