For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.

Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.

I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.

Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?

Have you tried just being a goose?

A shitty source not being the absolute worst source doesn’t make it any less shitty than it is. If your only options for news are US government propaganda or Russian government propaganda, the only valid choice is to stop following the news.

I don’t think Jason Vorhees has ever lied to me.

But did he ever make a perfect phone call?

Living things > inanimate objects.

We’ve destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.

You’re being way to fucking literal about it. The quote is about resisting oppression, period. In that case, yeah, it was the state, but any oppressor group is applicable.

People really need to get this hyper-autistic need for everything to be a perfect 1:1 analog in order to be valid, because there is no such fucking thing.

I guarantee you that if they were asked, more than half of these people would support rounding up the homeless and putting them in forced labor camps to “contrubute to society.”

Why is inhumane in scare quotes? Do you believe that the state abusing mentally ill people who often can’t even care for themselves is a reasonable course of action?

I feel like it leans a bit more towards being satanist these days. Commies aren’t as scary as they used to be, and you gotta keep those Christians riled.

It’s only capitalism if the recipients have to pay back the donations with interest and the building gets reposessed when they miss a payment.

Don’t allow companies to own homes. Homes should not be investments.

The SCOTUS ruled last year that the EPA does not have the authority to do essentially anything real to protect the environment.

Next lesson: Oops, there aren’t better employers.

The fact that “don’t work off the clock” and “don’t do work you aren’t getting paid for” are genuinely needed bits of advice rather than absurdly obvious common sense should radicalize all workers.

Some are afraid, others don’t know how, others feel like there’s no use in trying. A whole lot buy into the American exceptionalism propaganda that gets shoved down our throats from birth and think there’s nothing wrong with this country and that the people who are suffering deserve it, and that the people who want to make it better are literally trying to destroy it for Satan, or for the Jews, or for the reptilians.

I do support that, at least morally. In practice, a bunch of disorganized, untrained, and poorly equipped people who are already struggling to get by day to day are not going to win a fight against human history’s most powerful police and military force on its own home territory.

Because that’s not the government works. The populace doesn’t choose who the candidates are, introduce legislation, or (with relatively rare exceptions) vote on it directly.

Anecdotes are not “personal opinions” and they certainly aren’t valid or valuable in the context of evaluating scientific claims.
