RBIO may have been an idea but the US and the west have routinely violated their own laws over the decades. They, as you said, used their might to ignore the rules.

The open US support for genocide has fully destroyed the concept.

Iran still flies F-14s.

Burning down the rainforests so I don’t have to wait for my fingers.

The US and Israeli governments are murderers and terrorists via their actions. You're complaining about a slogan.

So you haven't been to every third world country and haven't lived in every level of American life, and therefore are clueless to the reality of it. Glad we cleared that up, thanks.

Nor have you lived in every third world country or experienced every level of American life. So who are you, or they, to say otherwise?

And I'm sure some gusanos would say that. They never bother to mention their families were land "owners" and enslaved people, of course.

Plenty of poor brown people who live here would be happy to tell you how shitty it is. Nuff said.

The current admin are terrorists by that definition. Fight fire with fire, I guess.

Yes it does. If they were founded by former Russian or Chinese intel you would hear the same thing.

When have they lied like that previously?

And all my problems would go away if I found a pot of gold. Sadly, neither of these things will happen.

Seats mean nothing. If there is a plurality and any kind of left movement there, what opposition have they given to the right? AFAICT, Yair's biggest criticism was that the war was managed poorly by Bibi.

80% of Israeli jews support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. People are arrested for saying the oppressed have a right to defend themselves. You see videos of IDF troops calling for the death of all Arabs while they are on vacation. You see them doing crimes against humanity in Gaza war footage. That isn't a healthy society, it isn't a society with a leftist movement. It is a fascist bloodthirsty society, run by thugs like Bibi, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir.

Supporting them means you either naive or that you lack any morals. Which makes your "bad guy" accusation meaningless.

There is no left wing in Israel, you are painting a false narrative. It is a fascist state run by thugs (much like ours, which is probably why they are so eager to sell out Americans to Israel).

Children were bombed. They knew the kids were there and they bombed them. Often happily doing it knowing they'd slaughter hundreds to get one supposed terrorist. They bulldozed bodies. They tiktoked the destruction of universities and hospitals.

"Hamas's eagerness to put them in harm's way" is such a tired lie to cover up for the slaughter of innocent people by the Israeli terror state.

Advocating for Palestinians isn’t advocating for a “terror group”. Which is itself a nebulous term that is used for political reasons.

Now, working to carry out a foreign governments interests against the best interests of the American public IS treason, but that’s okay when you’re the president I guess.

Right wing media does this openly. Killing commies being good is a meme and anything they don’t like in the government is because of commies.

Your initial post mirrors fascist rhetoric and is just an ideological rant.

Maybe try explaining how academics strong armed capital into deindustrializing and you’d get a better response.

The fact you went right to rules lawyering shows your weak position.

That happened because capital wanted it to happen. Blaming academics is just fascist garbage that avoids addressing the real issue.

Of course capital is saying now it can fix all the problems they caused. I’m sure you believe them too.

This is the optimistic take. The reality is they will find some way to cull the unwanted poor. These elites in power are stupid, cruel, spiteful, and have no sense of decency.

Love ruining the environment for garbage that only benefits the elite.

Huh? I was using your definition posted:

>Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

Killing the Jews was an ideological aim. So that was terrorism.

The profit motive is also ideological. So that’d be terrorism too.

In fact, pretty much everything we do is ideological. This is a basic fact of life. Just because you choose to ignore that doesn’t mean the word is meaningful.

I’ll disagree and say all war is indeed terrorism. But I do actually think the term is meaningless and just made up so people can say their violence is righteous while others is bad.

This has become painfully obvious when groups like Hamas are labeled terrorists, but the guys slaughtering civilians with 1000lb bombs aren’t.

Or when Luigi offs a CEO it’s terrorism but when corporate policies cause the death of thousands or millions, it’s just capitalism baby.

The term is useless then. Every state military action is terrorism by that definition.

> Lenin was a member of the nobility during the Tsar rule.

This is not true at all. Where is your source for this claim?

A lot of engineering types lack morals, which is why you see so many horrible things being made in this world.

Remember, our space program was lead by a former Nazi who was happy to use slave labor.

There is no circular reasoning here. I said funding weapons development is unethical, guy responded saying we need weapon development for deterrence, I point out that we have had plenty of effective weapons and the new ones will not be used for peer wars but for gladio/terrorism or regional wars.

Further weapon development just fuels arms races and puts the world in a worse place. That is why I find it unethical to fund it.

Also, btw, China already surpassed us despite all our spending. They are defining what a 6th gen fighter is, after all.

> protects our interest as Americans

Whose? Not mine.

To me, yours is the strange viewpoint. We have nukes and a massive air force. That is the bulk of the deterrence. Use good statesmanship and diplomacy and that covers the rest. Anything else being developed is for political suppression or fueling regional wars and imperial bullshit.

YC is funding weapon manufacturers lol. Where are the ethics there?

Yeah man, let me make my progressive social movement while under the rule of people who are happy to use violence and other nefarious means to suppress any sort of positive change that threatens their power. If only people had made movements against the Iraq war and bank bailouts in 08, things would be so much different now.

You left 20 years ago, in the middle of the GWOT and the various atrocities being done in the ME, and you thought America held itself to high moral standards?

Most of the elite in the US are, and have been. This is the business plot v2.
