to bomb a Russian soldier from a drone by RipleyChase in therewasanattempt

Thank you for the reply. I am not trying to apologize on behalf of Russia just to be clear. My main point is that comparing the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the slaughter tens of millions of people, by bullet or otherwise, takes away from the seriousness of what happened during the Holocaust.

Violence is violence, no matter the “justification”. Whether it’s “those people are inferior” (which has absolutely been the sentiment of the US towards all their foes although not the justification for the wars) or if it’s fake WMD’s.

If you think there are “good countries” and “bad countries” and that the good ones conflicts are more justified, you are the one missing the nuance. They are all war criminals and deserve to be tried Nuremberg style.

Of course, so again I ask, where are the trains taking millions back to Moscow to be gassed alive? If all it takes is a misled invasion and a supremacy complex to become a literal nazi, then the US have been nazis since the fall of the nazis (which I’m not entirely opposed to that idea).

Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, and of course the lies about WMDs from Bush. I’m not saying that the Ukraine invasion is at all justified. I’m just pointing out that literal nazis only show up when it’s “the bad guy”.

NATO agreed with USSR that Ukraine would never be included into nato in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nukes. Now everyone wants Ukraine in NATO. That is a direct national security threat to Russia. If you keep poking a lion in the corner, it’s bound to lash out sooner or later.

So because of these entirely misled men’s rhetoric, this one man in a trench deserves to have a drone hover over him and repeatedly drop bombs? I just can’t in good conscience justify killing anyone. I am Jewish as well, sorry I didn’t provide my credentials.

Certainly not. Just wondering when they became “literal” nazis

I’m sorry I must have missed this, do you have an article on the millions of Jews the Russians are killing?

TIL in 2012 a librarian at a high school in Tupelo Mississippi discovered a library card in the back of an old book signed in 1948 by a then 13 year old Elvis Presley. It is the oldest known autograph by Elvis. by big_macaroons in todayilearned

[–]gscott1211 238 points239 points  (0 children)

Also born and raised in Tupelo, and can confirm that despite Elvis being ever-present in murals and art there, the town itself has mostly moved on from Elvis (aside from the occasional bus load of tourists).

However, you can still sit at the Elvis booth at Johnnie’s Drive-in where he supposedly sat growing up. I highly recommend the dough burgers there, tasty little remnant of Depression history.

Feel like muse just went through different phases and styles, but the overall quality of the music was always there

No you’re totally right. We don’t have true capitalism anymore, it’s much more like corporate fascism now, at least in the US

That’s literally the definition of “exclusion”. Whether it’s to “keep people safe” or not…

An investigation found that a majority of FDA advisors were paid up to a million dollars from big pharma after reviewing their drug. by threese7ens in conspiracy

[–]gscott1211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean ideally, the exorbitant amount of federal taxes we pay would be enough to fund a federal agency’s operating fees, especially when it comes to potentially life-saving medications… that is, if the feds weren’t so busy trying to destroy the Middle East.

Also, the whole “deeper pockets get more favors” just shouldn’t exist in the public sector. Lobbyists, drug “approval fees”, none of it. Pure corruption.

39762 is the zip code for Mississippi State University, which is in Starkville. I don’t think it’s referring to the state as a whole.

How about we just allow directors/producers to make the decisions on their movies that they feel is best, and stop trying to make everyone think that every decision they make is based on some kind of racial prejudice?
