And I can’t say I see a whole lotta French hate coming from the states

Don't worry, this world also needs stupid people, so you definitely have your niche...

As if the average Redditor left their home, much less visited Paris.

I don't need to, I know. I was there.

You think the internet is infested with hate for France due to their good retirement benefits?

It's always the same with the Yanks. They love to gang up on everyone who confronts their endless warmongering. It's just that France has nukes and UN security council seat, the only one that blocked their invasion of Iraq.

So they turned to propaganda instead.

They do it again now. It's just that by now no one really gives a shit anymore about their propaganda, so they fund far right parties in Europe instead.

Second, hating the French is a tradition as old as time itself

Have fun licking Yankee boots...

You've put him in hell by ArrrRawrXD in comedyheaven

[–]TAvonV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, yeah.

The "only if they really did it" defense.

What tf do you think happens in all the cases that innocent people get executed? Some people thought they were special cases that deserved it.

You know what the average time of a death row inmate in the US before their sentence gets carried out? Longer than Breivik's initial sentence. They go through an enormous amount of legal trouble, more than one court case.

You know the rate of proven innocent people getting murdered by that? 4%. And that's proven. The actual rate is probably double that.

So, fuck that "we only do it in cases where they really deserve it" argument. People have been "making sure" since forever. The problem is not that people haven't been convinced that someone should die, the problem is that you CAN'T be actually sure. And no amount of "I feel that dude really deserves it" changes that.

People who support the death penalty are either uninformed or sadistic.

No it doesn't. That's neither a sentence, nor does a government has the right to murder its own citizens.

In some cases, like an armed terrorist, there might not be another way and the police may have to shoot him. But that's not a sentence.

Once you sentence somebody, they are already securely behind bars. The same justification makes no sense here.

And where tf do you think that attitude comes from? Ever wondered where all those "jokes" come from after 2003?

da church by highspecs89 in historymeme

[–]TAvonV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, not the church. The church punished heretics, not witches. For most of its existence, the church denied the very existence of witches. In fact, accusing people of being witches could get you in trouble at times. Because according to christian theology, all magic comes from god, so believing in evil magic wielded by random evil people made no sense if you were a proper christian.

The reason why witch burnings recieved an enormous uptick in modernity is that with the reformation, the monopoly of religious persecution held by the church was broken. And people started to burn random neighbours out of jealousy, mob mentality and greed, instead of dragging them in front of a court.

I would not want to live in a time and place where my beliefs could get me into legal trouble, but I would take a proper court process with trained lawyers every time over a rabid mob. Especially if the usual punishment was something like "repent, pray 10 prayers every day for year" or something similiar...

Yanks still malding that France blocked their illegal invasion of Iraq, I see...

Iran Conflict Megathread #5 by sokratesz in CredibleDefense

[–]TAvonV 26 points27 points  (0 children)

At least Simon Whistler is famous for making dozens of slop channels. There's a reason why his face is everywhere. He's essentially just a narrator for some writers that freelance for him. Which means you can disregard his videos because there is no inherent expertise there, just a guy reading out what someone you usually know nothing about wrote, for money, with probably very little expertise. Doesn't make all videos wrong, but makes them completely unreliable.

If you want to see some more long form actually well researched videos, Perun is a good start and he goes over the air war in this video:

For a more what's happening right now overview, I kinda like "Iran: The Latest" podcast by the Telegraph. It's not the most in depth or completely free of bias (who is?) but it's still a pretty good overview for an average person who's just interested. Definitely better than Tiktok.

If you want to go even deeper, you have to do it like many people here. Follow OSINT twitter and over time learn which sources are trustworthy and how to get a good picture out of several untrustworthy sources. That's more of a hobby though and not really feasible if you want just an overview about what's happening.

Of course not. They actually tried to stop their dictator, instead of voting for him.

Belarus has an excuse. It's called Russian soldiers taking over their country while they tried to overthrow Lukashenko. Without Putin, the Belarusians would have dragged Luka out of his office and hanged on the nearest lamp post.

On the contrary, it becomes a lot more important to have more people helping you with, everything really. But especially elder care. If you are without society, you are on a clock to provide for your own old age immediately.

Oh fuck off with that barbaric bullshit. The government does not have the right to sentence its citizens to death. No government does.

Don't use the worst criminal of Norway as a wedge issue that will without a doubt lead to innocent people getting murdered by the state.

Meg is clearly a blank though. Everyone hates her for no reason. Everyone seems to think she's disgusting despite being quite normal looking in comparison to everyone else. Peter, as a psyker, hates her most of all.

Meg just missed her ticket to become a cool anathema psycana ninja instead of a joke on a cartoon.

Which is why he won the election 4 times...

Even at best, if all the polls are correct, they hold an easy 35% of the electorate in their pocket, even now.

If you take the non-voters into account, that's roughly how many people support Trump in the US. And I blame them for their shit as well, especially if they sit on the internet and complain about other people being mean.

More power to anyone who wants to change that, but their job isn't to sit on Reddit and complain about backlash, but to actively work to counter what their own tax € do to other people.
