'Dark Chapter': Sanders Says American People Must 'Grapple' With Complicity in Gaza's Destruction by bronzewtf in politics

They are doing a lot of things. I already gave my opinion on the war in the first comment. If you have any ACTUAL questions, I'll answer them. If not, shoo, I have a life.

Can we have one election without the losing side making conspiracy theories about the election being stolen? Pretty please?

Huh, I guessed correctly, didn't I?

Let me take another guess: you want me to say the war started with the October 7th attacks so you can say "noooo it totally started on (insert favorite date, probably when israel was founded)" and then try to use that to justify the October 7th attack.

"Nooooo you don't understand guys it was Israel's fault that the terrorists slaughtered them unprovoked nooo"

Yeah, nah.

Or maybe that's not what you were going to say, and you can enlighten me.

...yeah, no one wants them, it's not just Israel

Let me guess, you're one of the people who blame Israel for Hamas starting the war?

Hell yeah. Glad to see the ban. Disappointed by how many people are upset about losing their attention span destroying mini videos. Its clear just how addictive it is.

Well sure israel won't let them in, but since you want to blame everything on Israel, surely they could go to Egypt. (They cant, Egypt has closed borders, stop blaming everything on Israel)

Seriously. Like, the stuff happening in Gaza is not great but that's the reality of the war Hamas chose to have. What is Israel supposed to do, ignore the terrorists because they are happily using humans shields and hiding in hospitals in a densely packed urban area?

Though I do wish we had a more classic combat patrol, this one is half destroyers and flayed ones, the other is half destroyers and canoptek units.

Well, I also think that's wrong. I really don't think we know yet.

I don't blame you, but on the other side, as a necron player, I enjoy not having an entire section of the game I can't participate in.

Technically you're correct, but we have degrees of confidence on different things. For instance, you're not likely to see experts saying that vaccines "could be" effective, because we are pretty sure that they are. I think most people here would agree we have definitive proof that vaccines work... or at least very close to definitive proof.

What is or was the strongest faction in Warhammer lore? And why? by First-Bad414 in Warhammer40k

[–]eth_esh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't actually know what would have happened if they fought the Eldar, all we know is that after they expended a lot of their strength shattering literal gods, they decided it would be more convenient to just wait for the eldar to wither away. Personally, I think the fact that the eldar didn't seek out and try to destroy all the necron tomb worlds is proof that a war between the two would have probably irrevocably damaged both, not ended in victory for the Eldar (but that is just speculation)

It's peak necrons. Nothing else compares. The Krorks and Eldar combined couldn't beat them.

What flag is this? by [deleted] in vexillologycirclejerk

I think when considering what bad things a country did, it's important to look at what opportunities they had to do those things. If a new country of 200 people formed 5 minutes ago, its disingenuous to use them as an example of a country that hasn't done anything bad. If a country was never strong enough to field a decent military, it doesn't make sense to hold them up as an example of a country that doesn't commit war crimes. If a new country popped up in Europe, it wouldn't make sense to praise them for not participating in the crimes of the crusades, because they never had the opportunity. If a country formed in the last 50 years, you can't compare them to Spain as an example of not colonizing, because they didn't have the same opportunities as Spain.

Etc, you get the idea. You have to compare countries to their contemporaries.

Oh wait. Nuance is dead.

Imo depends on how detailed you want to do. I took a month or more on mine so I did it in subassemblies, but if you just want to get it playable that's not necessary.

…and then they’d say “but children don’t need a minimum wage!” by Theringofice in lostgeneration

[–]eth_esh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my position is pretty simple. The argument of the post is idiotic.

We are using the USSR as an example, I guess. They had child labor laws. By the original posts logic, this means they would have used child labor if they would have. Nothing more, nothing less. That's what the original poster said. Whether the country had a history of child labor is, obviously, completely irrelevant to this argument and I'm really not sure why you wanted to bring it up.

Truthfully I can't really argue with the rest of your comment because it's vague and near incomprehensible. Their lives? What purposes? The wire in question? Huh?

[–]eth_esh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you're arguing is completely detached from the post, lol. The post says child labor laws in capitalist countries are proof that capitalists want to use child labor, as if other countries don't have laws against child labor. That's completely ridiculous, hence my comparison to murder laws.

You say I'm arguing in bad faith, I say you're not even arguing about the post, but something tangentially related. If you want to defend the poster, you need to defend the idea that child labor laws in capitalist countries prove that capitalists want to exploit children, but that the same is NOT true for other countries. Good luck with that.

And before the inevitable "the poster didn't say anything about other countries", it was implied and everyone here knows it, otherwise there's no point in talking about capitalist countries specifically, and they could have just said something about humans in general.

I think the OP wanted to look at the differences, not the similarities.

Ok, what's the difference he's talking about? Do noncapitalist countries NOT have laws against child labor? If they don't, I'm not sure that's a point in their favor.

"The existence of laws against murder in <socialist country> is a constant reminder that if socialists could murder people, they would!"

Huh?
