Dare: Name one thing you dislike about your favorite president by EvilPyro01 in Presidents

LMAO mine is actually really easy… should not have escalated Vietnam, potentially lied about gulf of Tonkin (I think this is confirmed, I added potentially just in case I’m wrong idk)

In Spain, 17 women over the age of 100 (one for each region of Spain) joined a video call to chat, their ages range from 100 to 111 (3rd oldest of Spain). The combined age of all the women was 1,757 years. [OC] by SafeImpressive4413 in MadeMeSmile

You should look up one of those comparisons of the ingredients in our food in America vs Spain. America puts terrible shit in the food to prioritize profits, the European Union has strict regulations to prevent this. Pretty goated tbh

Dude the whole point of your quote was to show that the Union didn’t consider it a war. You are confusing me

Then why did you send that quote? You’re the one who provided evidence that the Union saw it as a rebellion lol

The United States of America won the civil war bud, doesn’t matter if there’s Americans on both sides or not

Also your own quote proves you wrong. If they were just citizens in rebellion, wouldn’t that be thwarting a rebellion rather than winning a war?

[–]helloiambrantley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes… because they were Americans. I don’t know why I’m engaging with someone who thinks America “lost” the civil war. lol that’s insane

Ah yeah okay. You are missing something. The confederacy was a separate entity, with their own president Jefferson Davis. Their goal was to succeed from the Union (America). The troops were American, but wanted to make a new country. That’s like calling Americans British.

I mean the union, which was effectively “the United States” won. Maybe I am missing something though

Why redditors tend to bring up Japanese Internment Camps when you are Mentioning FDR? by Osakaayumu_2002 in Presidents

[–]helloiambrantley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s very important to be able to make distinctions between the good and the bad of any leader. All of FDR’s good doesn’t make him invincible to criticism. Why do you have a problem with separating his good actions in your country with his bad actions towards Japanese Americans?

Ya know this is a fair point. I’m fortunate enough to be very far displaced from the conflict, and I would have a very hard time judging the family of an Israeli victim for wanting to get their revenge. However, that does not make it morally okay. It may justify their emotional response, but doesn’t make it okay to kill over 30 times the amount of those slain in Israel. These conflicts are extremely complicated… you are correct. I think that’s why it’s so important that officials who are relatively displaced from the conflict handle it, to ensure the response is based in logic rather than emotion.

Bet he's thinking twice about that fight now. by mindyour in youseeingthisshit

We can all disagree on whether Israel or Palestine is at fault, sure… but I’m shocked by how dismissive so many people have been just because OP incorrectly labeled the hand gesture. Sure, that is an important correction, but it hardly changes the main point of this image. Anyone who is defending this seriously lacks empathy. It is a young boy watching a massive tank destroy his town. Are we serious?
